Okay, I am late. I think it was a bad idea to head back to the same place.
Be aware that there are many parts which a service guy can replace without you knowing about it. A bad guy is a bad guy anyday and they do have reason to take on you.

Isn't it possible to see whether the serial on the ECU matches that on your invoice?

Can someone confirm? I thought the ECU serial and the engine number/chassis number would be tracked together by the manufacturer. So if there is a replacement, that needs to be mentioned on your service manual too?

Well all you had to do was to be a little more patient vishnu even though you know sometimes that people re trying to take you for a ride and yes these delays are because of stupid infastructure that we have every where be it service stations banks airports offices and even hospitals man i have seen a guy bleeing with a woulnd and doctor saying i ll take 5 minutes as i am giving stitches to the other patient so keep a cloth on your wound till then and hold it

But that is not the real problem the real problem that you couldnt find out was either this GM was recently released from a Mental asylum or may be he had terrible fight with his wife at home or may be his children are doing dope cause other wise no one dares treats customer like this not even a bi cycle customer forget about the swift you re right on you way many complain any where you can maruti to khattar also send a copy or may be news papers web sites blogs what ever

You re 100 % right on you place and there can be no denying

In the first place..they don't know anything bout service engg!!... you won't be happy even if you go there for a "plug and play" work!! Thatz the status of maruti dealer service guys these days!
I too had very bad experiance from the dealer service from where I brought my car. Funniest part is that the "Territory Service Manager"(maruti appointed) here doesn't know the differance between Swift LXi, VXi and ZXi!!! I had to teach him bout the differance in tyre sizes, tyre pressures, exterior / interior differances between the models!! I gave up talking to him when I realised that he is a big mo*ron!! Gud 4 nothing!! Infact... the truth is that... these guys are helpless!!!! coz thatz how maruti have layed out thier style of work!! They are pressurised to "push" the issue out of thier territory!! Gud ethics eh?!!

I too have send several mails to almost every known email id's of Maruti Customer care and Service.... NO RESPONSE!!! Then send several reminders!!!! even then therez NO RESPONSE!!! So I wud say to avoid them fully and spread the word in all possible and known way so that atleast friends/relatives will be saved from these kinda frustrating moments!

I now take my car to MASS only! No more dealer service for my car! Very Happy!

Forget the episode and drive-on!!

I thought they had specially trained folks to sell the Swift. And all along I was wondering if that helped in getting the record sales consistently

I was politely received and Mr. Venkat who heads the Service division in Bangalore took up the issue. He dealt with Anil Rao and team in this regard and the result - I got a call and mail from Anil Rao with a deep regret note for what has happened. He also assured that such things would never happen in future and promised a prompt service henceforth.

Venkat also apologized for the experience with MUL dealership and requested me to continue the service with Sagar.

I hope Anil Rao buys the message out of the event on how to deal with customers.

I'm thinking of giving Sagar another chance as a courtesy to Venkat, what do you guys think.

Vishnu

Glad to know that things worked out for you, Vishnu. I am sure you are satisfied with the end result and hope that the arrogant Mr. Anil Rao had his rear end on fire. Thats no way to talk to a customer.

I have been servicing my car at Pratham Motors in Ring Road opp. to Intel. I wouldnt say I am "completely" satisfied with their work, but after hearing all these shocking news, I think they are fine..atleast from my experience till date (..touchwood )

[DieselFan]

I am going to Mandovi on Bannerghatta Road close to Shopper Stop. Good outfit. They are very professional in dealing with your problems.

I have to file a complaint against sagar automobiles.

I paid 4k for paid service of swift and didnt check under the bonnet at the time of taking delivery. After 2 months when I open the bonnet to replinish the windshield wash fluid, i get a shock in seeing the coolant nearing the low level- whereas as per the manual, it has to be replaced.

I went to sagar auto on a weekday, explained everything politely, and spent 50 minutes listening to "5 minutes saar, 5 minutes saar". I then walked out saying that it was my mistake to come here, I will purchase coolant from outside and top it up myself.

No longer confident of what all they have done (did they top up other things like gear oil which is difficult to check), am planning to take my car to another MASS (Suraksha etc), for a "mini-service"- checking fluids and toping up wherever necessary.

I also have some other negative feedback regarding spare parts availability, and their attempt to rip me off when i took a "denting-painting" quote.

I am not willing to let Sagar off the hook so easily, and am planning to complain.

I have not been able to find the customer care email id on Maruti's website, if someone has it, do forward it to me.

Cheers
Ajay

Good Decision !!!

[huntrz]

With the huge volumes that they are witnessing some of the Maruti Dealers seem to have developed "Don't Care" attitude towards customers.. Now with SX4 pitched against Honda City I wonder if they will be able to provide their SX4 customers the kind of care Honda provides..
