Something I don't understand, what is "Paid service : Rs. 700" for? When they have charged labour for every job carried out. Also what is "lubricating brake calliper bush?" And throttle body cleaner is Rs. 505? They used one whole body of TB cleaner?
I need to be more careful when my 20k kms service comes up. |
used BG Air Intake System Cleaner for the first time its killa : my exhaust was smoking ! ! then it spat out water -around 40 ml of it : ]
bgprod.com
Air Intake System = throttle body yeah
as for the brakes i think they charged me labour of 700 that included bleeding with a wurth machine , opening inspecting and cleaning my drums AND brake pad change for the front along with grease where needed.
Thanks for the valve adjustment gyaan man :]
PS : they charged me twice for gear oil will get back to them for that
PS 2 : i asked for all of this very specifically , knew what was needed and required. Supervised every bit of it stopped the mechanic from making dumb mistakes 6 times !!

9 point check up , HAH ! look in your manual see what they [ official maruti ] say needs to be done at 20 000 service - then see the 9 point check list which dealers provide
700 is a charge purely for getting a paid [ not free ] service done at S & S

if you read the VERY 1 st post half decently you would have seen this:-
total bill was 15100 rs excluding the
oil-ows + oil filter-K&N + oil flush-ows + radiator flush-tectaloy = 15,100 + 5200 = 20 300 rs + ows gas treatment rs 600

And 200 Rs for the best laser wheel alignment set up, in Bangalore. String method is very costly since very few have that skill these days. |
1 st i agree with you on " BUT if the money spent doesnt make a diff to the car it aint worth it is what i feel."
it did and does make a difference
string method a skill !! ??? happens all over mumbai and it costs 200 bucks just lamblasted a friend for doing it in his ikon even though he said the car felt alligned
ps : like i said 10 mins back i any way changed the gear oil at 14000 km . Why ? because i felt it needed it and man it felt SO SO SO much smoother after i just changed the gearoil at 14 000 km it was not funny. Maruti says change it only at 20 000 KM PS2: putting in synthetic gearoil sooner than later rs 1800 a lt. OWS synthetic gearoil the only gear oil which i can find which is synthetic and gl 4 rated !
