Repair and Maintenance and Service contracts – control your budget

Friday, July 24th, 2009

In these troubled economic times, the last thing that a small business needs is a huge unexpected repair or maintenance bill for their Mercedes van. Thankfully the generous warranty supplied with Mercedes vans takes care of most of the nightmare scenarios, but not all of them.

One thing that small businesses can do to help keep costs under control and improve cash flow is to take a leaf out of the book of big fleet operators of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. What these operators do is to sign up to a service or “Repair and Maintenance” agreement.

Depending on the type of vehicle you have, your annual mileage and what you use your vehicle for, a contract can be tailor made for you. That way you can pay Mercedes-Benz a fixed monthly direct debit and not have to worry about one off servicing and repair costs for your van.

Owners of Mercedes Vito and Sprinter vans have two extra options called service package and service package plus. These options allow Mercedes van owners to pay a one off up front cost at a special price to cover all routine servicing and maintenance for 5 years or 120k miles, with a further fee allowing for brakes and clutches as well.
