Manual servicing is the action of manually repairing and refilling a vehicle.
To service manually, you need the Manual Service license. With it you can take a vehicle to a service point and service it manually at half the fee servicing cost. Money spent on manual service contributes towards a driver’s copay, but insurance does not pay for any portion of the cost.
At the start of your career when copay requirements are low, paying fees to service a vehicle is more cost-effective than doing manual service. Even though the cost of manual service is half that of a fee, paying the fee is still more affordable because a big part of it is covered by insurance.
As your career advances and copay requirements increase, however, manual servicing becomes a more economical way of dealing with maintenance. When the cost of manual service is less than a driver’s remaining copay, the entire cost contributes towards the copay, and no potential insurance payoff is lost. This is why manual service comes into play in the later stages of the career.
Service points can be found marked on the world map.
Work trains, including private locomotives, can only be serviced by manual servicing.
