My scorp' is at 35k+ and still running on the original brake pads. |
About the brake-pads, they did needed replacement. I saw them almost to be at their end of life during 15k service itself. Infact that they run 6k more was surprise to me. Mostly this premature death is due to the initial issue of my car's braking (I've posted about it sometime back, gotta find the post. Infact I only told them to check and replace the pads.

This I thought so :( And it was something like last minute thing which they've told me. They didn't even asked me about it before they went on to fix whatever it was. I was bit more relaxed this time it seems.

Light is gone now and today also it's not on. But yeah, you are right, I need to wait and check few more days if it's really been the issue.
Another problem that I've asked them to fix was the front RHS window sometimes getting jammed. Shireesh has informed me that it's the motor that needs replacement and they didn't have part at that time and waiting. SKS yesterday told me that they've replaced some connector under warranty and it should be working fine but dang. Yesterday evening the same problem happened. Anyway, I knew that their remedy won't work as the motor surely need to be replaced.
Guess I was too soon to say I was happy although I meant was about the normal stuff, such as oil replacements and gearing which was bit hard and now it is better. Infact now I think that I'm not that happy with washing as they left the glasses dirty (body wash was ok). I normally never give the car for wash at the service centers but this time the car was too dirty and I was not at all getting time to wash the car (working till late nights for few weeks).
Now may be after this experiment (SKS is very close to my house and so I wanted to try) I would be again be back to Shireesh for my next servicing.
Let me also put up the exact expenses as per the bill,
Fuel Filter Catridge - 1647.37 Rs.
Kit Pads BIL - 4232.46 Rs.
15W40 Engine Oil - Valvoline - 6ltr - 249.70x6 = 1498.20 Rs.
15w40 Valvoline 1ltr - 253.51 Rs <--- why is it different?
Oil Filter SC BOL-EK-6203MX - 132.46 Rs.
Labours :
OCA Brakes - 900 Rs
Cosumables -service - 350 Rs.
AC Neutralizer - Treatment - 950Rs. <- Probably this is what Sankar mentioned..
Paid Service - 1000Rs.
And Vat 1086.94 + service tax 384Rs and ed. cess. So the total was around 12,446Rs.
