To know the details of the costs, let's look at the following review.

Monthly Car Maintenance Costs and Details

Washing the car is the first and easiest maintenance to do independently. If you choose to wash the car yourself at home, you need to spend an estimated cost as follows.

  • Washing equipment such as brushes, sponges, buckets, and chamois costs Rp85,000.

So in total, the estimated cost of washing the car at home is Rp140,000 per month. The advantage of washing the car independently is that you can wash it twice a week or once a week, making the car look cleaner and well-maintained.

2. Monthly Car Service Costs

Monthly car service is usually recommended when the car has traveled a distance of 1,000 km or its multiples. If you have just purchased a car from a dealer, you can use the warranty rights according to the service manual. Here are the components that need to be checked during car service:

  • Engine coolant level
  • Car battery
  • Brake fluid
  • Air filter
  • Engine idling speed
  • and parking brake

For the first service or the first month of service, usually the dealer or your official car workshop will not charge a fee, meaning it's free. However, for subsequent services, you will be charged a monthly service fee starting from Rp2,400,000. This cost is based on the estimated replacement costs of components as follows.

  • Cost of changing car oil: Rp500,000.
  • Cost of changing air filter: Rp150,000.
  • Cost of changing brake pads: Rp1,150,000.
