Doing the washing at Concord Mysore road takes the most time. I usually get the service done and the wash done at some other day first thing in the morning.

Good to know that a automatic washes is on its way.

How is the extension work? I thought it was for the Aria.

Its another floor, they are finishing the roofing now, so perhaps a plumbing and electricity should be done within the month.

Its not for ARIA, ARIA sales are not good from this Dealership, hardly any sold from here, pricing is very high..they say. Mr. Surendra has moved on and Mr. Anup has taken over as the Service Manager for this T.A.S.S.

@Pavan, I also forgot to mention, I usually get them to do a Air blow on the engine before washing but this time, they were blowing air on the engine after the water wash, which is good. Also it helps to know the service manager, Anup Pillai,tall guy, can't miss him.

My Safari has done 93K now and still going strong with excellent pickup and acceleration but I have been thinking of replacing it with a newer version (Strome, Harrier etc) but some times Automatic versions have also come to my mind.

Overall I am very happy with my ownership of Safari and it served my family well, but now have decided to let go of it with a heavy heart and have put it up in the classifieds here first for any enthusiast who is interested.

PM me or call me if anyone wants to buy a well maintained Safari.
