I think that they give the estimate with the worst case scenarios of havingto chnage all the items being checked , but while doing the actual service they may not have changed all item.

Another thing that happens if you ask for something like a clutch replacement , the service advisor would change everything associated with the clutch to clear the issue and to meet his target. I called a Hyundai A.S.S in chennai yesterday to check for the comprehensive price for changing the clutch he gave me a quote of Rs 26k for the CRDi verna , i know for a fact that the spare part cost are below 10,000 bucks without taxes.

I dig further and notices that he has estimated for changing the flywheel the , master and slave cylinder and even some of the hydraulic piping for the clutch. For a person who doesnt understand the internal the guys would have pressed for the entire change . So you have to check the estimate very carefully while giving for service . My 2006 Verna CRdi also completed 60K and the service cost me Rs 5K. And i was with the vehicle the entire time.
