Payment Assist, Car Care Plan team with Nissan to launch new service plan

Finance provider Payment Assist is partnering with Car Care Plan to offer Nissan drivers an interest-free monthly payment option for a manufacturer-backed service package.

The Instant Service Plan allows Nissan drivers - especially owners of used vehicles - to spread the cost of both major and minor services over 12 months. The plan covers eligible vehicles and provides a full manufacturer service using Nissan-approved parts backed by a one-year warranty. It also includes 12 months of RAC Roadside Assistance. Additionally, a fully stamped Nissan dealership service book will help maintain higher residual values.

The partnership combines Car Care Plan’s decade-long experience backing Nissan’s manufacturer warranties with Payment Assist’s nationwide reach and expertise with customers, dealerships and garages to underwrite this new servicing product.

Marcus Gregory, CEO of Payment Assist, said: “Nissan’s new Instant Service Plan is the ideal way for customers to maintain a full dealer service history, while benefiting from a flexible, interest-free way to pay. By using Payment Assist’s payment solution, drivers can spread the cost into manageable monthly instalments. It’s a win-win, offering added value for the customer’s vehicle and helping dealerships retain long-term aftersales relationships.”

Jon Norman, head of corporate sales at Car Care Plan, added: “We have been working with Nissan for more than 15 years, and the opportunity to bring about this new Instant Service Plan was an ideal chance to further strengthen those ties. By onboarding Payment Assist, we can offer the best possible deal for customers, who would otherwise likely look to independent garages, or not service the vehicle at all. This way, drivers get a full major and minor Nissan service, and benefit from improved residual values as a result.”

Nicolas Belaud, director of aftersales at Nissan Motor GB, said: “We’re pleased to be working in close collaboration with Car Care Plan and Payment Assist to enable the Instant Service Plan product. It’s an ideal way for Nissan dealerships to strengthen relationships with existing and new customers, by offering a convenient and affordable way to pay for this service and their next with interest-free monthly payments. And, all the benefits of a Nissan manufacturer-supported service are included, like Nissan Genuine Parts fitted by our trained technicians and 12 months Roadside Assistance.”

The Instant Service Plan will be marketed both online and through Nissan dealerships, offering fixed monthly payments that make servicing more affordable for customers. Currently, about 45% of Nissan retail customers purchase a service plan from new, with options spanning two, three, or four years. The new Instant Service Plan is designed to support customers who are not yet covered by a service plan, providing a flexible and accessible solution to maintain their vehicles.
