Service costs - for comparison

Received this from smart Center Indianapolis today:

Maintenance Advantage smart Plans

Two-year 20,000 miles $395
Three " 30,000 miles $595
Four " 40,000 miles $895
Five " 50,000 miles $1195

Not exactly sure what the "maintenance advantage" term means but maybe this info will be helpful in comparing costs at other smart centers.

Isn't the 60K service the one that requires a lot of engine work?

Prepaid service maintenance plan pricing

These prices are in reference to prepaid maintenance plan offered by smart Center Indy. I was sent the price sheet in conection with a new car purchase. Contracts can be purchased at time of sale (new car) or before the first service interval.

2 year/ 20,000 miles $395 (two service intervals?)
3 year/ 30,000 $595
4 year/ 40,000 $895
5 year/ 50,000 $1195
6 year/ 60,000 $1395 (all six service intervals?)

They offer this so you can roll the amount of prepaid maintenance you want into your purchase price of vehicle. Also it may protect you from future price increases to prepay for these services.
But, this contract is non cancellable and non-refundable.

So, if you are sure you want their services for all the maintenance of your long term car ownership, this could be a good option.

I've had service @ 10K, 20K and 30K already and will likely have the 40K here in about 3 months. I'll pull my old receipts and see if I come up with anything different from the price quotes you are getting.
