Re: Took a leap of faith and bought Jeep Compass Petrol AT | Ownership Review Completed 1 year of Jeep Compass ownership. Got the 1 year/15K KMs service done at Landmark Andheri SC. No complaints from the car or the service experience. Only regret is that I could not drive as much as I thought I would. Did only 7K KMs in the year. I had hoped to go for long drives and road trips and trails. Ended up going mostly home to office. I have joined the Jeep Western Wanderers group and they organise trails and drives from time to time but could not join any for one reason or another. On one occasion when slots were available and I was also free, I chickened out seeing the videos of the track. Hopefully 2024 will be better.
The one year service was uneventful. Got wheel alignment and balancing done, oil and filter changes, AC cleaning and servicing, and brake servicing. I opted for full body polishing because there were some paint marks when our building was repainted and some minor scratches. Failed to notice silencer coating in the estimate but even if I had noticed I would have gone with it. Total bill was 17K. Earlier the six months service was 2K where only wheel alignment and balancing was done.
For second year I went with HDFC Ergo for own damage insurance, opting for all available riders.
Some stats -
Total driven in one year - 7015 KMs
Total fuel consumed - 960 Litres
Fuel economy - 7.3 KMPL (90 % city)
Total service cost (2 services) - 19,247
Only service hiccup was during the six months service when they accidentally disconnected the wind-shield washer pipe somehow and had to visit the SC again to get it fixed which took 5 minutes but was a unnecessary trip to SC.
Overall I am quite happy with Jeep Compass. Want to drive it more on open roads in the coming year. |
