What Is an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) and Do You Need One?

The Real Cost of Unplanned Downtime

A road sweeper that sits idle for three days waiting for a spare part does not just cost you the part. It costs you three days of cleaning routes unmaintained, three days of operator wages with no output, and potential contractual penalties if you are operating under a municipal service agreement.

An Annual Maintenance Contract converts unpredictable breakdown costs into a fixed, budgetable line item — and ensures response times that prevent three-day delays.

What Spruce Up AMC Covers

The standard AMC includes scheduled preventive maintenance at manufacturer-specified intervals, priority response for breakdowns (4-hour on-site SLA in major cities, 24-hour elsewhere), all consumables including filters and brushes, and remote diagnostics via the Spruce Up Genie platform.

Extended AMC packages add hydraulic system coverage, engine and drivetrain components, and on-site spare parts inventory management.

Calculating Your ROI

A typical Spruce Up machine operating 8 hours per day, 6 days per week, will require 2–3 major service interventions per year without an AMC. Each intervention averages ₹45,000–₹80,000 in parts and labour, plus 2–5 days of downtime.

An AMC for the same machine runs ₹1,20,000–₹1,80,000 per year. The arithmetic is straightforward — and that calculation does not include the value of the route coverage you lose during unplanned downtime.

How to Get Started

AMC contracts are available from the date of purchase or can be added to existing machines at any point. Our service team will assess the machine’s current condition and provide a customised quote within 48 hours.
