Is this plan for me?
A lot of us get stuck in city traffic during our daily commute. Traffic is tough on your car’s wear-and-tear parts like brake pads and brake discs. A Maintenance Plan takes care of it for you.
Not only that, but it also provides for your specified services by your car manufacturer.
Two birds, one stone.
Note that a Maintenance Plan does not provide for big, unexpected mechanical breakdowns and electrical failures. We have an Extended Warranty for that.

Which parts are provided for?
Service Items:
The V belt or accessory belt which drives a number of components such as the aircon compressor, water pump, alternator and the power steering pump is just as important. Should it break the engine will overheat, which would result in engine failure.
Only if recommended by car manufacturer at specified service intervals
The air filter element will protect your engine’s air intake from unwanted particles going into the engine and damaging its moving parts which will cause unnecessary wear and tear.
When the brake and clutch fluid of your car becomes old it loses its viscosity which can cause clutch or brake failure. The older the fluid gets the less it lubricates the necessary part which can lead to damage on the clutch and brakes.
A cambelt has a specific lifespan and needs to be replaced in accordance with the manufacturer specifications and at specific intervals. The cambelt becomes worn, brittle and cracked over time. In the event of cambelt failure it could result in serious and costly engine damage.
Only if recommended by car manufacturer at specified service intervals
Your radiator keeps your car at a working temperature which is part of the cooling system and the coolant prevents rust and corrosion inside the cooling system. Corrosion can cause the water pump to fail and rust can block the radiator which will lead to overheating. Coolant prevents this.
The differential is part of your gearbox and controls the different speeds your car’s wheels turn at. Your wheels will drag if you do not have a differential system. The differential oil keeps the bearings lubricated and premature failure may occur if it is not changed at its specific intervals.
The engine oil needs to be changed at specific intervals. The older your car’s oil gets the lubrication of the moving parts gets less. Engine oil prevents the premature failure and wear on the moving parts.
The fuel filter protects your fuel line from particles that can contaminate it and cause unnecessary damage.
The oil filter will ensure only clean oil goes through your engine which is necessary for the optimal functioning of your car.
The pollen filter prohibits unwanted particles like dust from entering the cabin of your car. It keeps the air clean for your optimal health.
Over time the spark from your spark plug starts to burn away. This causes misfires which increases fuel consumption. It is necessary to replace them for optimal power for your car and to keep fuel consumption regular.
Engine oil is kept intact by the sump plug gasket. If the washer from the gasket gets worn out the engine can lose oil and lead to engine failure. It is necessary to replace the sump plug gasket at the required intervals.
The tensioner keeps tension on your car’s cambelt when it stretches and moves. It is needed for your car’s belts to function optimally. If it’s not maintained it could lead to engine failure.
Only if specified by the OEM service summary
Transmission fluid retains its lubrication effectiveness for a specific amount of time and needs to be changed at specific intervals. It lubricates your gearbox which is essential, otherwise wear-and-tear will happen quicker. Your gears can start grating and you may have to replace the gearbox.
The workshop consumables like the tissue paper and cleaning materials used during the servicing of your car is covered.
Maximum of R100.00 excl. VAT
Maintenance Items:
The air conditioner keeps the interior of your car cool and maintains the selected temperature. The v-belt driving the aircon needs to be checked at regular service intervals to keep it in working order and to detect if there are any gas leaks.
Compressor only, regassing only on replacement
The alternator makes sure your car’s battery is charged. Without the charging of your battery, you will not be able to start your car.
The battery drives everything electrical in the car. If the car stands for a long time the battery can swell and leak acid which will damage the paint. The battery will be checked at any standard service.
It is dangerous to drive with faulty brake discs. These dics receive a lot of impact while you drive. They can easily become worn out or uneven, making it near impossible for you car to stop at a safe distance.
Replacement will be considered only if the component is outside OEM specification and skimming tolerance
When your brake drums wear they eat away at the metal, the metal becomes thinner. There will not be enough of a gap for the brake shoot to push against the brake drum which will lead to brake failure. It is necessary to ensure the brake drums are in perfect condition to avoid brake failure.
Replacement will be considered only if the component is outside OEM specification and skimming tolerance
The clutch and clutch components link the engine to the gearbox of your car. It consists of the clutch plate, pressure plate and push plate. If anything in this system fails, there will be no link between the gearbox and your car’s engine and you won’t be able to change gears.
The CV joints of your car is connected to the gearbox and gives power to the wheels. The CV joints are checked at regular service intervals. Not servicing at regular intervals can lead to accidents or breaking down next to the road.
The differential unit is part of your gearbox and controls the different speeds your car’s wheels turn at. Your wheels will drag if you do not have a proper functioning differential system. This needs to be checked at regular intervals.
When you open the bonnet, what you see is ‘engine’ and a whole lot of other items attached. All the moving parts are inside the engine.
Your car’s exhaust system carries away the gases created when the fuel and air are burned in the combustion chamber. Keeping your exhaust system in good working condition is vital for fuel mileage, the environment and your safety.
Excluding catalytic converters
The fuses protect your car’s entire wiring system. If there is a big surge in the engine the fuse will blow instead of a major component thus saving a lot of money.
Excluding xenon and sealed units
Your door locks, boot locks or electric ignition can become excessively worn out and will need to be replaced.
It is recommended to replace your brake pads at 4mm. Your car will have a wear indicator which you need to check. Never top up your brake fluid as this might cause your brakes to seize.
Limitations apply. Replacement of front brake pads is limited to one set per 20 000 km travelled from plan sold date.
The shock absorbers stabilize your car and affects handling. They are part of the suspension and keep your tyres on the ground at all times. If they are not in working condition the wheels will start bouncing which makes it dangerous to drive.
The fuel system consists of components like the fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump and injectors. Without this system functioning properly, the cars fuel consumption and performance will be affected.

The steering component steers the car, if it wears it could lead to increased tyre wear and it will become harder to steer your car. If it is badly worn it will have an impact on the stability of your car on the road which could cause swerving.
Steering rack, column and pump
A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) the internal-combustion engine of your car so as to initiate the engine’s operation under its own power. Without this functioning properly you will not be able to start your car.
The transmission refers to the gearbox, differential and final drive shafts. It is what gives power to your vehicle’s wheels. When the transmission is damaged or not in working order you will not be able to shift gears or drive at all.
The turbo is a device that increases the engine’s efficiency and power. The turbo assembly has moving parts which can wear over time. This will lead to power and torque loss which in turn will increase fuel consumption.
Sealed units
The V belt or accessory belt which drives a number of components such as the aircon compressor, water pump, alternator and the power steering pump is just as important. Should it break the engine will overheat, which would result in engine failure.
Will be replaced when deemed necessary by the approved facility
The water pump creates circulation in the cooling system. If you see fluid under your car you might need to get the water pump checked to prevent any further damage.
The wheel bearings make the wheels of your car turn freely. If they are too worn out or damaged they can seize and cause an accident.
The wiper blades help keep the windscreen clean and enables you to see clearly when it rains. It is unsafe to drive with worn wiper blades
