Keeping your car running smoothly is crucial, but navigating the world of car servicing can be daunting. Let’s dispel some common misconceptions about car servicing and shed light on the benefits of Hoot’s service plan that provides full cover.
Myth #1: I can skip a service if my car seems fine
Fact: Regular servicing isn’t just about fixing problems when they arise. It’s about keeping your car in good driving condition. A qualified mechanic can identify minor issues before they become major, potentially saving you money and preventing breakdowns on the road. Hoot’s plans cover your car’s scheduled services, including all manufacturer-specified parts, labour and oil for both minor and major services. No maintenance extras, just the full service your car needs, covered in full.
Myth #2: My service plan covers everything, including wear and tear items
Fact: Most service plans don’t include everyday wear and tear items like brake pads, wiper blades or batteries. That means you could still be covering those out of your own pocket.
Hoot’s Service Plan gives you full cover for your car’s manufacturer-specified services, including parts, labour and oil. On top of that, you get a R500 bonus in Wear and Tear cover with every service. It’s built in to give you added value where it matters.
Looking for even more wear and tear cover? Just add Hoot’s Wear and Tear Plan. It gives you the flexibility to choose your cover amount and claim for specific items like brake pads, batteries, wipers, brake discs and minor electrical components.
Myth #3: All service plans are easy to understand
Fact: Service plans can vary in how they’re structured, and it’s not always easy to see what’s included. Hoot makes it simple. Our policy limits are clear, our process is transparent, and your car gets the service it needs, when it needs it.
Myth #4: Newer cars don’t need regular servicing
Fact: Modern cars are built to be reliable, but they still require regular servicing to ensure optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity. Just like our bodies need check-ups, even new cars benefit from routine car servicing to identify potential issues before they become major problems. Hoot’s plans are designed to keep your car running smoothly, regardless of its age.
Myth #5: I can always rely on warning lights on my dashboard
Fact: While dashboard warning lights are crucial in alerting you to potential problems, they often illuminate only after an issue has already arisen. Regular servicing with a qualified mechanic can proactively identify potential problems before they trigger warning lights, preventing breakdowns and potentially saving you money. Hoot’s plans help you stay on top of servicing needs, giving you peace of mind on the road.
