Value isn't just about cost—it's about what you get for it. In-house maintenance can look expensive upfront, but if it cuts returns and keeps customers happy, the return on investment can be strong.

Partner-led plans have predictable costs, which is nice for budgeting. But watch out for hidden fees or per-repair charges that add up.

Hybrids offer the best balance. You pay a premium for the partner's expertise, but you save on the simple stuff you handle yourself. For most distributors, that's where the sweet spot is.
