Why a Monthly Service Plan is a Smarter Choice
South Africans are not great at sticking to stringent budgeting, and keeping your car in top condition is essential, but regular servicing can be costly.
In South Africa, the price of a minor service; which includes an oil change, filter replacements, and a basic inspection, can range from R1,500 to R3,000, depending on the vehicle make and model. A major service, covering more extensive maintenance such as brake fluid replacement, spark plugs, and in-depth diagnostics, can cost anywhere from R4,000 to R10,000 or more.
Why Paying Upfront Might Not Be the Best Option
Many car owners consider extending their service plans with a large upfront payment to cover future services. While this might seem convenient, there’s a major risk. What if you decide to sell your car before using all the services? In such cases, you lose the money you’ve already paid, as service plans are often non-refundable or non-transferable.
The Benefits of a Monthly Service Plan
Instead of paying a lump sum for an extended service plan, opting for an affordable monthly service plan offers greater flexibility and financial relief. Here’s why it’s a better option:
No Large Upfront Costs – Avoid spending thousands at once; instead, pay a manageable monthly amount.
Cancel Anytime – If you sell your car, you can cancel your service plan without losing money on unused services.
Consistent Maintenance – Ensure your car receives regular servicing without sudden financial strain.
Budget-Friendly – Spread service costs evenly over time, making vehicle maintenance more predictable and affordable.
