Example Calculation

For a Comprehensive Service in a Major City with:

• Mileage: 80,000 km (+R500)
• Additional Services: Brake Replacement (R800) and Battery Check (R1,000)
• Region: High-Cost Region (+10%)

Estimated Calculation:

1. Base Comprehensive Service Cost: R5,000
2. Mileage Adjustment: +R500
3. Additional Services: R800 (brake replacement) + R1,000 (battery check) = R1,800
4. Regional Adjustment: (R5,000 + R500 + R1,800) * 1.1 = R8,030
