Perhaps feeling the hot breath of the Ford Bronco on his neck, Jeep has decided to reward its customers with a new advantage: three years of free maintenance. It’s one of the benefits of the Jeep Wave program, whose membership is now free to buyers and renters of all 2021 Jeeps.
The Jeep Wave program has been around for a while, and takes its name from the off-the-wheel two-finger salute that Jeep drivers commonly make when crossing the road. The changes for 2021 mark an extension of its term from two years to three, as well as the inclusion with all models. The program was originally launched in November 2015 for 2016 model vehicles and included 2 years of benefits. Back then, it was also free only with certain Jeep models: the Wrangler; the gladiator; the Grand Cherokee Overland, Trailhawk, Trackhawk, Summit, High Altitude and SRT; and Trailhawk versions of the Cherokee, Compass and Renegade. For other models, you can buy the Jeep Wave for $ 150 a year.
In addition to free maintenance, consisting of oil changes and tire rotation, the Jeep Wave program also includes $ 1,000 in trip interruption protection if your Jeep is out of service for repairs when the owner is more than 100 miles from your home plus $ 35 in car rental reimbursement. There is also a dedicated customer service line and the promise of “VIP treatment” at Jeep brand events.
A previously announced plan to allow Jeep Wave members to borrow other FCA model cars and create a subscription-based ownership model using Jeep Wave appears to have never materialized.
