• 🔧 Fixed cost of maintenance for the entire duration of the program (without unpleasant surprises when visiting the service).
• 🚗 Free diagnostics before each scheduled maintenance.
• 📱 Mobile application with service history and reminders about upcoming maintenance.
• 🎁 Discounts on spare parts and accessories (up to 15% in official stores).
• 🚘 Priority Service - yours Rapid will get to the service station without a queue.

It is important to understand that the club service does not replace the guarantee, but supplements it.
