LESS UNCERTAINTY. MORE CONFIDENCE.

More certainty for the road ahead.

A new truck is a significant investment. Keeping it properly maintained should be straightforward.

Southpac Contract Maintenance brings scheduled servicing, clear terms and trusted aftersales support together in an agreed maintenance programme.

It's designed to give operators greater visibility of their maintenance expenditure, help keep trucks maintained to the right standard and reduce the headaches that can come with unexpected bills.

Whether you're operating a single truck or a fleet, the goal is the same: make long-term maintenance easier to plan and give your truck the attention it deserves.

THE SOUTHPAC ADVANTAGE

Four good reasons to make it part of the plan.

Clear benefits, practical support and a programme built around protecting the investment you've made in your truck.

01 / 04

Straightforward coverage. Limited exclusions.

Nobody wants a maintenance contract that takes a lawyer to understand. Our approach puts clear, common-sense coverage first, with a concise summary of exclusions so you know what's included, what's not, and what to expect before you commit.

02 / 04

Competitive cost of ownership.

Buying a truck is one investment. Operating it efficiently over its working life is another. Agreed maintenance costs, reliable truck platforms, genuine parts and strong manufacturer backing help you plan the longer-term picture.

03 / 04

COFs included.

One less separate inspection expense to budget for. Scheduled Certificate of Fitness inspections are included in eligible Contract Maintenance programmes. Your representative will explain the exact entitlement and any work outside the agreement.

04 / 04

Nationwide support.

Your truck doesn't spend its life at head office, and support shouldn't depend on it being there. With 10 Southpac branches and 25 authorised dealer locations, we can help connect you with participating facilities closer to where you operate.

Look after your truck. It'll look after your business.

Proper preventative maintenance helps identify potential issues earlier, supports reliability and can reduce the risk of avoidable downtime. With an agreed programme, servicing is easier to plan and the truck is maintained with its long-term performance in mind.

GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEAR ANSWERS.

Contract Maintenance FAQs.

Every truck and application is different. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.

What is Southpac Contract Maintenance?

An agreed programme that helps manage your truck's scheduled maintenance and applicable servicing costs with greater predictability. Your individual agreement sets out exactly what is and is not covered.

What's included in a maintenance agreement?

Coverage depends on the truck and agreed programme. Southpac will explain the services, parts, repair categories, exclusions and maintenance requirements before you commit.

Are COFs included?

Scheduled COF inspections are included in eligible programmes. Your representative can confirm inspection arrangements and explain how repairs, failed inspections and retests are treated.

Are there exclusions?

Yes. We aim to make exclusions limited, logical and easy to understand, with a concise summary provided as part of the agreement discussion.

Can I have my truck serviced anywhere in New Zealand?

Southpac has a nationwide network of branches and authorised dealers. Your team will identify participating service locations that are suitable for your truck and agreement. Services, including COF facilities, vary by location.

Does Contract Maintenance replace the manufacturer's warranty?

No. Contract Maintenance and warranty coverage are separate arrangements. We'll explain how they work together and any conditions that apply.

How much does Contract Maintenance cost?

Pricing is tailored to the vehicle, application, usage and agreed programme. Contact your Southpac sales representative for a proposal and clear explanation of the terms.

Which brands are covered?

Ask your sales representative about current programme availability for DAF, Kenworth or JAC. Availability and terms can differ by truck model, and programmes still in development will be confirmed individually.
