When did you last have your car serviced?
Sound familiar?
The workshop calls. The quote is more than you expected.
It happens to almost everyone. You take the car in for what you think is a routine service, and the call back is a number that doesn't fit anywhere in this month's budget. So you juggle. You borrow. Or you delay it and cross your fingers.
The problem isn't that services are expensive. It's that the cost is invisible until it isn't. A minor service can run R2,000 to R4,000. A major one, covering the timing belt, transmission fluid, spark plugs and filters, can hit R8,000 to R15,000 depending on your vehicle. And if something goes wrong between services, that's a separate bill entirely.
Delaying a service doesn't save money. It moves costs forward and makes them bigger. Most mechanics will tell you that the most expensive repairs they see come from cars that went too long without attention.
The warranty ran out
Most manufacturer service plans last 3 to 5 years. After that, every service comes straight out of your pocket. Most people only realise this when the first bill arrives.
The breakdown was unplanned
A breakdown doesn't check your bank balance first. It happens on a Tuesday morning when you're already running late, and the tow truck quote isn't something you budgeted for this month.
The service keeps getting pushed
It's not that you don't want to service your car. It's that there's never a good month for a R6,000 bill. So it moves to next month, and then the one after that.
“Skipping a service doesn't save you money. It just moves the cost, and by the time it catches up, it's usually twice as expensive.”
A service plan doesn't cost less than servicing your car. It makes the cost predictable, so you're never caught short.
What you get
One monthly amount. Your car is covered.
GetInsured matches you to a vetted service plan specialist who covers the cost of your car's scheduled services, including parts, labour and call-out fees, at any RMI or MIWA-accredited workshop in South Africa. When it's time for a service, you take your car in and the workshop invoices the plan provider directly. You don't pay anything at the counter on approved claims. No excess. No forms to fill in. No waiting for a refund.
The plan is priced around how often you drive. If you service once a year, your premium reflects that. If you drive more and need more frequent services, there's a plan that fits that too. The specialist who calls you works out which option makes sense before you commit to anything.
You can also add extra cover if you need it. Brake pads, wiper blades and general maintenance items can be included for a small additional amount, up to R10,000 per service. If your brakes are the thing that always comes back to bite you, that's worth knowing upfront.
Also included in every plan
24/7 roadside assistance covering flat tyres, jumpstarts, battery replacement, towing, lockouts and fuel. If you break down more than 100km from home, overnight accommodation is also covered while your car is being repaired. One number to call, any time.

A service plan specialist confirms your exact quote before anything is activated
How it works
It's simpler than you think. Here's exactly what happens.
GetInsured collects your details and matches you to a service plan specialist who covers your type of vehicle. They call you directly, give you an exact quote, and answer every question you have. You don't commit to anything until you're ready.
Answer two quick questions
Tell us when you last had your car serviced and whether you're already covered, then leave your name, number and email. No ID, no bank details, nothing personal at this stage. Takes less than a minute.
A service plan specialist calls you
A real person from the plan provider calls you back. They've reviewed your answers and will quote you specifically rather than reading off a generic price list. Ask everything you want to know.
Say yes when you're ready
If the quote works for you, cover activates immediately. If it doesn't fit right now, that's fine too. There's no pressure and no obligation. If the plan isn't right for your situation, the specialist will tell you that.

We'll be upfront about how this works.
GetInsured matches you. The specialist covers you.
GetInsured is a matching service. We collect your details, find the right service plan provider for your vehicle, and they call you directly to set everything up. The plan, the cover and the claims process all sit with the specialist. That means when you call to claim, you're dealing with the people who actually run the plan, not an intermediary.
A serviced car is worth more when you sell it
A full service history increases resale value. Buyers pay more for cars that have been maintained, and they ask for the records. A service plan keeps your car serviced on schedule, which means the history stays clean and complete. That has a rand value when the time comes to sell.
What this doesn't cover
A service plan is not a mechanical warranty. It covers scheduled services, not accidental damage or component failures outside of a service. If you need cover for breakdowns caused by mechanical failure, that's a separate product and the specialist can explain the difference. We'd rather be straight about this than have you expect something the plan doesn't do.
The questions people are afraid to ask.
No, and this is worth being clear about. A service plan covers your scheduled services, the regular maintenance your car needs to keep running properly. A mechanical warranty covers component failures and breakdowns. They're different products. If your gearbox fails between services, that's a warranty claim, not a service plan claim. The specialist who calls can explain which product fits your situation, and if you need both, they'll say so.
Yes, you can still apply. The specialist who calls will ask about your car's current service status and tell you honestly what's covered for your first claim. You'll know exactly what to expect before you commit to anything. There are no surprises at the workshop after the fact.
If your workshop is RMI or MIWA accredited, yes. Most reputable independent workshops and franchised service centres are. The specialist can confirm whether your preferred workshop qualifies when they call you. If it isn't accredited, they'll help you find a suitable alternative nearby.
Yes. Plans are structured around how often you drive, with tiers built for higher-mileage drivers who need to service more often. You choose the tier that matches your driving upfront, and your premium is a fixed monthly cost from there, not something that changes based on how much you actually drive.
Once you're approved, cover starts immediately, with no delay tacked on afterward. The specialist confirms everything on the call itself, so you'll know exactly when your cover begins before you hang up.
Your next service is coming. Sort this now and stop thinking about it.
Answer a few quick questions about your car. We match you to a service plan specialist who calls you back with an exact quote. No commitment, no pressure.
