Five-year projection
Assumes constant annual mileage, driving conditions, service level, warranty status, and region; vehicle age increases by one year each year.

The EV comparison holds all other inputs constant and switches the powertrain to battery electric. It is a scenario estimate, not a recommendation. Segment average is a broad benchmark, not a model-specific prediction.
Major service reference by mileage
Indicative ranges for common milestone services. Always follow the manufacturer’s schedule for your specific model; some vehicles use timing chains, sealed transmissions, or lifetime fluids.
| Mileage | Typical items | Indicative cost range |
|---|---|---|
| 30,000 mi / 48,000 km | Oil and filters, brake fluid flush, cabin filter, alignment check | $150–$500 |
| 60,000 mi / 96,000 km | Oil and filters, transmission fluid (where specified), coolant inspection, brake inspection | $250–$750 |
| 90,000 mi / 145,000 km | Oil and filters, timing belt (where applicable), coolant flush, suspension inspection | $250–$1,200 |
| 120,000 mi / 193,000 km | Major inspection, timing belt/chain, transmission service, brake refresh, suspension components | $500–$2,000+ |
Estimate notes
- This is an estimate, not a quote. Actual costs vary by model, condition, local labor rates, parts availability, and driving style.
- Excludes fuel or charging, insurance, registration, taxes, depreciation, financing, parking, and tolls.
- EV estimates exclude high-voltage battery degradation and replacement. They include tires, brakes, suspension, cabin filters, and thermal-system costs.
- Warranty handling: basic warranty reduces the repair component by 70%, reflecting that wear items and consumables typically remain the owner’s responsibility. Prepaid maintenance sets routine service cost to zero for the covered period; confirm the terms of your plan.
- Regional indices are approximate cost adjustments, not real-time currency conversions. Amounts are displayed in the selected currency symbol but are not converted at market exchange rates.
- The repair portion is age-adjusted using industry benchmarks. Routine service and tires are not age-adjusted. The five-year projection holds mileage and conditions constant.
- Major-service ranges are indicative. Some vehicles use timing chains instead of belts, sealed “lifetime” transmissions, or long-life coolant; do not treat the table as a substitute for the owner’s manual.
