Manual servicing is the action of repairing and refilling a vehicle manually.

To service manually, you need the Manual Service license . With this license 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 the driver progresses in their career 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 will contribute towards the copay, and no potential insurance payoff is lost. This is why manual service comes into play at the later stages of the career.

Service points can be found marked on the driver’s world map .

Work trains , including private locomotives , can only be serviced by manual servicing.
