1. What happens if I haven’t paid enough into my monthly (financed) service plan account at the time of servicing? Can I still service my vehicle?
Yes you can. At the time of booking we will ensure you have sufficient credit for your service and if you do not we will ask you to top up to the required amount for the applicable service.
