Maruti Suzuki have announced a new prepaid service package called the Smart Maintenance Plan (SMP). The service package is aimed at reducing vehicle maintenance costs and offering greater peace of mind to customers. Available for both private and commercial vehicles, the new plan allows customers to prepay for future servicing requirements and lock in current service prices for several years.

The Smart Maintenance Plan can be purchased at the time of buying a new Maruti Suzuki vehicle or later through any authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop across the country.
The Smart Maintenance Plan is essentially a prepaid service package. Instead of paying for periodic maintenance every time your Maruti car or commercial vehicle visits the workshop, customers can purchase a maintenance plan in advance and cover future servicing costs under a single plan.
Maruti Suzuki are offering multiple plan options depending on the customer’s needs. These include:
Customers can also opt for additional wear-and-tear coverage for parts such as:
Let’s assume a customer purchases a 5-year/50,000km Smart Maintenance Plan while buying a new Maruti Suzuki car or commercial vehicle.
Instead of paying separately during each scheduled visit to the service centre, the covered maintenance expenses are prepaid under the plan. Whenever, the vehicle is brought in for periodic servicing, the labour, parts and consumables are covered as per the scheduled package. This means customers know their servicing expenses in advance and don’t have to worry about future maintenance cost increases.
1. Lower Service Costs
Maruti Suzuki say customers can save at least 10% on labour charges. Depending on the package selected, there are additional savings on parts and consumables as well.
2. Protection Against Future Price Hikes
The biggest advantage of the Smart Maintenance Plan is that it locks service costs at today’s prices. For example, if the labour rates, engine oil prices or spare part costs increase over the next few years, customers covered under the SMP will continue to receive periodic maintenance without being affected by the increased prices.
3. Nationwide Validity
The plan is valid across Maruti Suzuki authorised service network in India. Customers are not required to visit the dealership or service centre where they purchased the plan. Services can be availed at any authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop across the country.
4. Customisable Coverage Options
Not all customers use their vehicles the same way. Thos who use the car less may prefer basic labour coverage, while others would want comprehensive coverage including consumables and wear-and-tear items. The Maruti SMP allows customers to select a package that best matches their driving and ownership needs.
5. Better Ownership Planning
Since maintenance costs are prepaid, owners can budget running costs more effectively and avoid unexpected service bills.
For buyers who intend to keep their Maruti Suzuki vehicle for several years, the Smart Maintenance Plan could help reduce long-term ownership costs while eliminating uncertainty around future service expenses.
Customers who regularly service their vehicles at authorised workshops are likely to benefit the most, especially given the protection against inflation in labour, spare parts and consumable prices.
While Maruti Suzuki have not yet announced the pricing of individual Smart Maintenance Plans, the company claims customers can expect measurable savings over the course of ownership, particularly with longer-duration plans.
