Pros and Cons of Prepaid Maintenance Programs for Dealerships

Prepaid maintenance programs for dealers allow customers to pay ahead of time for basic maintenance on their vehicles. These plans cover repairs and part replacements. They typically have longer-lasting coverage than other plans.

Pros from a Dealership Perspective

  1. Easy Customer Incentives

These programs give dealerships an easy way to reward customers for their loyalty with incentives and rewards they can spend at businesses in the local area.

  1. Dealership Exclusive Service Rights

When customers have a prepaid maintenance plan, they can only get their cars serviced at the dealership, and they purchased their plan. It encourages customers to return to the dealership creating a lasting business relationship between the dealership and the customer.

Cons from a Dealership Perspective

  1. Dealerships Have to Give Out Free Items or Service

Most dealerships have two give away free items to entice customers to sign up for the plans. It does cost the dealership money, but it can be considered a cost of advertising.

  1. Plans May Not Get Used Often

Many newer vehicles do not require maintenance as often as vehicles of the past. When customers fail to come in for maintenance regularly, it can lead to problems later on. These programs can help entice customers to get their cars maintained more often.
