Frequently asked questions

Your name appears on my bank statement. Who are you?

EMaC handles the administration of your vehicle’s service plan. We collect the Direct Debit instalments from your bank or building society that pay towards the upcoming servicing requirements of your vehicle.

 

How do I book my service?

Please contact your dealership directly to book in your service. When making your booking, please let the dealership know you have a service plan. 

Unfortunately, EMaC won’t be able to book your service in for you.

What are the benefits of a service plan?

A service plan offers many benefits, including:

  • Pay monthly – An affordable, fixed monthly payment by direct-debit covers the cost of all routine scheduled service work.
  • Inflation-proof servicing – if the price of parts/and or labour increases during the term of the plan, no problem- you won’t pay any more.
  • Improved fuel economy – a properly serviced vehicle will run more efficiently.  You can drive mile after mile knowing that your vehicle is in the best condition for saving fuel.
  • Resale desirability – A full service history is a significant asset to boost the desirability and value of your vehicle when you come to sell it.
  • Flexible – Your Service Plan is refundable and transferable*.  (Terms and conditions apply.)

What does my service plan cover?

Each service plan is tailored to each individual vehicle/schedule.

To find out what is included in your plan, please refer to your dealership or your documentation that you will have received when purchasing your plan. If you need a copy of your documents, please email support@emac.co.uk and we can provide a copy for you.

I’ve bought a new vehicle. Can I transfer my service plan?

If you have bought a new vehicle from the same dealer – or the same dealer group – and the terms and conditions allow us to, then we can arrange for any unused payments to be transferred from your old agreement to a new one.

Simply contact your dealership and advise them of the change, and they will be able to arrange the transfer of your plan. Alternatively, you can call us with the details of your old and new vehicle –  if you already have a plan in place for your new vehicle, we can complete the transfer for you.

 

Can I extend or renew my agreement?

No problem. If you decide to keep your vehicle for longer than your plan’s service schedule then your preferred dealership is fully equipped to assist you with both new plans and renewals.  We recommend reaching out to them directly to explore your available options and ensure your coverage continues seamlessly.

 

Does my service plan cover mechanical breakdowns?

This is dependent on the type of service plan you have purchased. Please see your contract for specific details of the inclusions of your service plan or contact your dealer for more information.

Can a family member use my service plan for their vehicle?

Your agreement is specific to your vehicle and the payments are tailored to meet the cost of servicing that vehicle. Of course, we are happy to help arrange an agreement for other vehicles in your household.

How do I pay towards my service plan?

You can pay in full or by Direct Debit- all our payments are taken securely. You can decide your preferred payment option when purchasing your plan.

  • JCB
  • Mastercard
  • Maestro
  • Visa

Alternatively you can opt to pay for your service plan through a monthly Direct Debit payment scheme tailored to suit your vehicle servicing requirements. Ask your dealer for full terms and conditions.

Can I change my payment date?

Of course. We can collect Direct Debit payments on any date between the 1st – 28th of each month. Please contact us on 0330 099 6826  and we can make the change at any time.

We need 14 days’ notice to implement any changes, so if your next payment is due within the next 14 days, it may be collected on the previous agreed date

Can I change the account I pay from?

Yes, you can change your bank account details at any time.  Please contact us on 0330 099 6826 and we can make this change.

We need 14 days’ notice to implement any changes, so if your next payment is due within the next 14 days, it may be collected using the previous agreed bank account details.

I now have a private plate. Can i update my registration number?

Yes – please send  your current and new registration number to support@emac.co.uk or call us on 0330 099 6826 and we can make this change.

If you have changed your vehicle, you will need to set up a new service plan.  This is because service plans are tailored to each vehicle.
