Prepaid maintenance is a vehicle care plan sold in advance that covers scheduled services such as oil changes, tire rotations, and routine inspections for a defined term or mileage period. For dealers, it can support customer retention, increase service-lane traffic, and create additional F&I revenue. When structured strategically, it can also complement broader profit-retention goals through dealer-controlled program models.
