Inchcape Australia launches Peugeot and Citroen pre-paid service plans

Inchcape Australia which distributes Peugeot and Citroen vehicles locally has launched pre-paid service plans for both brands aimed at providing customers with a simple and flexible approach to servicing.

The pre-paid service plans are available to purchase as three or five scheduled services packages, with the plan commencing from the warranty start date. 

Customers can choose to purchase a pre-paid service plan at the time of new or demonstrator vehicle purchase, or before obtaining the first scheduled service for their Peugeot or Citroen vehicle. 

Available on vehicles first sold from 1 October 2021 onwards, pre-paid service plans remove the uncertainty of future servicing costs with customers able to pay for their plans upfront says Inchcape Australia. 

“By bundling the costs upfront, this also provides substantial savings in comparison to Assured Service Pricing as the cost of the scheduled services within the selected three- or five-year plan are protected from future inflation costs for parts and labour,” it says.

Peugeot and Citroen Australia managing director Kate Gillis says the launch of the pre-paid service plans follows the launch of the financial services package for each brand earlier this year and will provide further value for local consumers.  

“Not only will the launch of pre-paid service plans provide new customers with greater convenience, but the plans also provide the flexibility of having required scheduled services completed at any participating authorised Peugeot or Citroen service centre within Australia,” Gillis says. 

“All scheduled services are completed by manufacturer trained aftersales staff and technicians using manufacturer diagnostic equipment and special tooling as well as genuine parts,” she says.

The pre-paid service plans are linked to the Vehicle Identification Number of the Peugeot or Citroen vehicle, ensuring they’re fully transferable to new owners, further enhancing resale value.
