Maintenance and warranty packages are among the 15 aftersales deals now available from Fiat Professional for new business customers.
The two new packages are the ‘Easycare Professional’ maintenance contract, which includes the price of the services and oil and filter changes, and the ‘Maximum Care Professional’ deal, which offers an extension of up to two years or 120,000 miles on the warranty.
Currently, the Fiat Professional lin up consists of the Fiat Fiorino, Fiat Doblo Cargo, Fiat Scudo and Fiat Ducato. A new Fiat Fiorino and Fiat Scudo are expected next year, alongside the new Fiat pickup.
New Service plans
Fiat’s new service plans (dubbed ‘Eastycare Professional maintenance contratcts’)start from £149 plus VAT (based on a two year, 40,000 mile deal on the Fiat Fiorino), and can span from two years or 40,000 miles to five years and 150,000 miles.
The plan includes the cost of all services, oil and filter changes and the replacement of worn parts by genuine Fiat Professional parts, which helps maintain residual values.
Prices increase to £460 for a four year, 60,000 contract on a Fiat Doblo Cargo and £699 on a five year, 75,000 mile deal on a Fiat Ducato.
Extended warranties inlcude breakdown cover
Meanwhile, the extended warranty (called ‘Maximum Care Professional’), which can be purchased alongside the Easycare maintenance deal, starts from £119. The Fiat Professional warranty is already fairly generous at three years or 120,000 miles, but the new package can extend this to five years or 240,000 miles.
Fiat Professional’s roadside assistance is also extended to cover the length of the warranty. Prices vary significantly between the models, with an extra year and 100,000 miles on the Fiat Doblo’s warranty costing £289 plus VAT.
Improving the customer experience
“We are constantly looking at ways to improve the customer experience and running costs are always an area of concern to business users” explains Ricky McFarland, Country Manager FIAT Professional UK.
“By fixing the price of maintenance, and offering a great-value extended warranty, users are able to budget accordingly and can even potentially build this into their finance package at the time of purchase. In this way, FIAT Professional offers complete peace of mind even for those businesses on the strictest of budgets”.
