“Jetour Auto Philippines aims to position its prices at very affordable rates for every Filipino to make car ownership a hassle-free experience,” says JAPI Aftersales Director, Eryx Guiang.

“Through this structured service schedule, Jetour owners can plan their expenses based on the servicing needs of their vehicles. JAPI will be open with our service rates which will have reasonable pricing. Moreover, PMS parts availability will be assured so that every Jetour vehicle on the road will receive the care and attention needed for reliable and worry-free driving,” adds Guiang.

Jetour vehicles area easy to maintain as they require only twice-a-year Periodic Maintenance Servicing divided into 5,000-kilometer intervals to ensure long-term reliability and optimum performance.

JAPI designed this comprehensive service calendar to ensure that the vehicle’s engine oil will perform at its best, allowing it to protect and lubricate the engine’s internal parts from the harsh conditions encountered each day during traffic or long drives. Furthermore, regular PMS is a guarantee that every Jetour vehicle’s components are checked or replaced as necessary.

The first year of Jetour ownership shows two servicing schedules at 5,000 and 10,000 kilometers. A quick oil change is done at each service interval.

Jetour Auto Philippines’ trained technicians will inspect various car components at the 10,000-kilometer interval to ensure they are all in optimum working condition. The two service visits in year one will only cost an owner around P 8,000 plus.

At the 20,000-kilometer interval, PMS will include the replacement of spark plugs, the cabin filter, Automatic Transmission Fluid, coolant, and other fluids. A Jetour owner will spend a little over P 15,000 in year two for the 15,000 and 20,000-kilometer service intervals.

In the third year of ownership, or as the vehicle reaches 25,000 and 30,000-kilometer driving distance, the Jetour owner will spend in the range of P 8,000 for oil changes and PMS.

In year four, or at the 35,000 and 40,000-kilometer service marks, a Jetour owner will budget around P 18,000 plus. This amount covers the oil change costs and the serpentine belt replacement. This essential component ensures the engine’s various accessories and ancillaries work in sync with the combustion process.

In year five, it is back to an P 8,000 budget range for both oil changes and PMS done at the 45,000 and the 50,000-kilometer service intervals.

Finally, in the sixth year of ownership, along with the oil changes, comes the replacement of the spark plugs and cabin filter and the replacement of the ATF and various fluids at the 60,000-kilometer interval.

Over the first six-year period of ownership, Jetour customers will spend approximately P 22,000 on oil changes and around P 38,000 on PMS parts inspection and replacement. That comes to about P 75,000 or so per year or a little over P 1,000 a month.

While the cost of parts and labor may vary slightly over the years of ownership, the general price range of these PMS schedules will serve as a guide for customers so that they may plan their budgets ahead of time.

Consumables such as brake pads are not included in the computation as these depend on the vehicle's actual usage, driving habits, and the prevailing driving conditions the vehicle operates in.

Jetour Auto Philippines hopes that by making its PMS costing plan transparent, current and future customers will be guided accordingly with their vehicles’ servicing requirements. Doing so ensures longer, hassle-free journeys ahead with Jetour.
