Just as it is with features like smartphone connectivity and sat-nav, it’s becoming harder for carmakers to sell a new car in the current competitive market without a Capped-Price Servicing offer.

Once, it was disc brakes, then central locking. Later, it was an audio system beyond the standard radio, then airbags and electronic stability control.

Now, Capped-Price Servicing is on its way to joining the list of features consumers expect when they buy a new car.

But what’s in a name?

Capped-Price Servicing is the name the industry has applied to this latest ‘must have’ new car accessory, but much like the cars it’s assisting to sell, it comes in several shapes and sizes.

Some are all-inclusive - either ‘pre-paid’ at the time of purchasing or with 'one price per service' covering several services. Some carmakers even offer ‘free’ servicing. 

Others are more a ‘pre-warning’ of what to expect dollar-wise when your next service rolls around; regardless of when that might be. 

The packages also differ in the 'term' of the offer. Some Capped-Price Servicing offers vary from the life of the warranty to the life of the car. And some individual dealers also offer their own version of it.
