Saving for your next car service the smart way

There are a few things in life which are hard to avoid: Paying taxes, growing older and servicing your car are just a few.

One of the many benefits of purchasing a LiquidCapital Service Plan is that you won’t need to worry about forking out a large sum of money for your car service on short notice. With monthly and once-off cash payment options or by simply having it added to your finance agreement, LiquidCapital’s Service Plan allows you to set it up, forget about it and effectively continue to “save” and ensure you can always afford to properly take care of your car.
