subject: Cadillac Service: Company Offering Free Maintenance On 2011 Models [print this page] Its a nice gesture for sureIts a nice gesture for sure. Cadillac has announced it will offer free maintenance on 2011 models. This may be an effort not just to increase customer service, but to compete with Lincoln, which has a similar program. Regardless, you can schedule your Cadillac tune up from Ft. Myers dealers and keep your vehicle in optimum condition.
How exactly will this program work? Well, named the Cadillac Premium Care Maintenance plan, it will not include brake or other areas of the car considered normal wear and tear. What it will include are scheduled oil changes, engine and cabin air filters, tire rotation and regular inspection.
Cadillac supposedly did not include normal wear and tear because there is such a diversity of needs among different vehicles that it would not level out well for all customers. The Cadillac Premium Care Maintenance plan will be good for any vehicle sold from now through September 7 and will be in effect for three years or 45,000 miles.
Used Cadillac Ft. Myers customers may not get the same free deal as new car buyers, but they can certainly depend on their dealer for friendly, quality service and feel welcome to call for an appointment any time. New and used car dealers appreciate customers who keep a regular maintenance schedule and take good care of their vehicles.
Customers looking for a Cadillac tune up, Ft. Myers service, or general car appointment will appreciate the peace of mind that regular service from a certified Cadillac service department and the vehicle inspection provide them. This also provides a boon for the dealer: customers are visiting regularly and seeing the new inventory. It certainly cant hurt the sales numbers. In fact, theres probably a study underway now by auto makers who provide free maintenance plans to see if it helps increase sales or if their repeat customer business goes up significantly. It would be interesting to know. I wish the company that makes my computer would offer such a deal.
BMW has a similar program and says that it does get the customers to come in on a regular basis. And why not? Free maintenance is not something anyone at any earning level would want to turn down in todays economy.
With Cadillacs reputation for quality and a tradition of luxury, used models are just as popular as new ones and maybe more so with the current economic climate. Used Cadillac Ft. Myers customers will find a large selection of pre-owned Cadillac cars at affordable prices.
Car owners should consider a regular maintenance schedule, whether the auto maker or dealer provides it or not. Well-maintained vehicles will perform much better and last much longer than those that dont get regular maintenance.
