Under warranty (Y/N): Y Work done at authorised dealership (Y/N): Y Dealership Name & city where work was carried out: B.U. Bhandari Auto - Wakad Cost of following (ex-tax) Filters: * Air Filter: Not replaced * Fuel Filter: Not replaced * Oil Filter: Rs. 78.67/- * Pollen filter: ? Engine Oil * Quantity: 0.25L * Brand: FL VS MAX (Fiat branded oil) * Price: Rs. 28.25/- First free service includes only inspection jobs. I insisted on an oil filter change assuming the oil filter would have trapped some metal residues after running in.  __________________________________________________ ____________________________________ Year: 2006 Make: Fiat Model: Palio 1.6 Sport Kilometer reading at time of service: 7853 kms.

Engine Oil * Quantity: 4.0L * Brand: Mobil 1 Super Synthetic 5W-50 * Price: Rs. 2,500/- (Sourced from Opera house Bombay) Other work carried out & charged for: Timing belt tensioner replacement and Belt stretcher replacement. Actual costs of parts: * Fixed tightener: Rs. 461.00/- * Belt Stretcher: Rs. 1,520/- (Both the parts were replaced F.O.C under warranty). Labour cost: * In warranty * There was an issue with engine noise which was attributed to a worn out timing belt tensioner. Luckily car was in warranty and it was honoured very promptly by the service dealership. They goofed up while billing and erroneously added major service to it. The workshop has a practice to get the bill verified from the Service advisor / works manager if you have any doubts. I neglected the major service part but the works manager gave an earful to the billing dept and the technician who worked on my car (he is on the forum btw  ). Finally Rs. 625/- was returned in cash and I went home happily. I am unable to find the revised invoice but I'll do so when time permits.  __________________________________________________ ____________________________________ Kilometer reading at time of service: 24,000 kms (Roughly) Under warranty (Y/N): N Work done at authorized dealership (Y/N): Y Dealership Name & city where work was carried out: B.U.

Car had a busted fuel filter that developed a crack. I had neglected the replacement and thought I'd do it at the recommended interval. Resulted in a cracked filter which was choked like hell. Bought the part off the spares part counter and the replacement was done F.O.C.  __________________________________________________ ____________________________________ The 4th service is due and I have stretched Mobil 1 to 15k kms although the plan was to retain it for 10k kms max. Problem is sourcing the damn oil for the price in Pune. will do a round of Opera house again. Lets see how it goes. Total amount spent on maintaining the car at an authorized dealership was cheap and I think cheaper than many cars costing half as much. Believe it or not. I haven't included three punctures costing roughly Rs. 30/- each and one session of alignment balancing done at about 14k kms costing Rs. 400/- roughly. And of course the third free service bill which came to Rs. 0.00/- Last edited by moralfibre : 16th November 2007 at 22:10. |

Are the rates on higher side? Is it true that cleaning of airfilter calls for refilling? Last edited by Surprise : 29th November 2007 at 10:36. | |
