It’s been at the back of your mind for a while: time to drop the car in for a service.

But you’ve sort-of been putting it off. It always costs more than you think, and you’re never sure the mechanic’s being straight with you. Wait one minute: you’ve got a fully-maintained novated lease; servicing and tyres are already budgeted for!

But how does it work again?  

It’s simple. When you drop your car in, let your service provider know the vehicle is Maxxia-managed, and to contact our Maintenance Centre on 1300 123 123 before they commence any work.

Once the work is completed, your mechanic will contact you to collect the car. In between, Maxxia’s team of experienced mechanics will take care of the rest – from confirming costs to ensuring all work meets manufacturer standards and is reasonable and consistent with the age and condition of your car.

Maxxia’s maintenance team will also make sure you’re advised of all work to be carried out, and, once the final costs have been confirmed, pay the invoice directly from your novated lease account. (To ensure there is enough funds in your account, it is recommended that you regularly check your balance via Maxxia Online.)

In most leases, two services a year – based on time or mileage – are scheduled throughout the lease term. “We’re very diligent in the questions we ask service providers, and in stamping out ‘upsells’. If there’s anything not required per the schedule, the team will push back,” says Daniel Jakopovic, Senior Maintenance Controller, says. 

If you’ve got any queries on novated leasing, or on servicing and maintenance, call Maxxia on 1300 123 123.
