What’s The Difference Between a Maintenance Plan and Service Plan?

Understanding the difference between a car’s Service Plan and Maintenance Plan can help you make the best choice for your vehicle’s care.

Car Service Plans cover the cost of specific components that are recommended with each and every scheduled service. This is usually done at a set time or after a certain number of kilometres travelled – whichever comes first. Typically, this includes essential service items such as filters, spark plugs, and lubricants.

Car Maintenance Plans include everything covered in a Service Plan plus the repair, replacement, or maintenance of wear-and-tear items when needed. This includes parts like brake pads, wiper blades, and battery replacements – giving you more comprehensive vehicle protection and peace of mind.
