Pricing! Mahindra SA rolls out optional service plans for base models
by Ryan BubearMahindra South Africa has announced the launch of optional service plan packages for entry-level models not sold standard with such items.
In addition, the company has rolled out optional extended warranties and service-plan “top ups”.
The Indian firm says its new plans have been introduced across all dealers and all product ranges, adding they offer “uncapped coverage on defined parts”.
“Our research shows that our Mahindra bakkie and SUV owners have great trust in their cars. They know that they can rely on their Mahindra to transport their family, travel to work or on holiday or support their businesses. With our new plans, they can now extend that trust well beyond the usual length of a warranty or service plan,” said Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra SA.
“Our new plans not only guarantee that customers will not pay extra on services and mechanical repairs covered by the mechanical warranty or service plan, but we guarantee that all services and repairs will be done by trained Mahindra technicians, using Mahindra genuine parts and Maximile oils.”
So, what sort of cash are you looking at here? Well, Mahindra SA’s press material says only that the plans are “competitively priced against other similar services” offered by non-Mahindra outlets. Still, we had a dig around and found the following pricing for the optional service plans.
