I have completed 34000 kms and no major expenses in maintenance so far. There was some electric damage due to rat chewing up the wiring last year which was fixed by GM service centre.

I am really looking forward for a CRDI engine in Tavera (wonder when GM will come up with).

Hey Chevy_lover,

Could you please let me know wat was ur maintenance cost between 35000-51000.
@ Real_man. Nice to see your comments! My Chevy just completed 59900 kilometres. I had driven down to Kerala last week in my Tavera and I drove continuously for 17 hours, with two food breaks. My round trip was about 3600 kms long!

I travelled on NH 17, which is the "Home of potholes"!!! My return journey was via TN and Bangalore. I never felt any fatigue and I had a very satisfying time with my Chevy! Zero problems and zero headaches!!! The suspension is simply superb!

As far as maintenance is concerned, I changed both my brake pads during my 54000 km service. I also did a 3M Engine flush treatment and a 3M treatment for de-carbonising. I regularly give my vehicle for company's service every 5000 kms. And to tell you the fact, no one other than GM's technicians have touched my Chevy's engine!

Maintenance costs were so less, I never bothered to calculate it! I thinks it works out to less than Re. 1 per kilometre!
