Ford Fiesta 1.6 SXI! I read…I went… I saw… I drove… but it conquered!!!

yogi1771 · 19th May 2010, 10:21

The service cost range from 2k-3k,for the past 4yrs i have never paid more than 2.8k.The 2.8k bill was due to broken decals which I had replaced.I never get the wheel alignment and balancing done at A.S.S

Am getting numbers in the range of 3K-4K per paid service, depending on wheel balancing done or not. Have asked a few people outside of TBHP and thye say 4K min- in bangalore is what they pay
Can some more bangalore owners reply please, looking at this info to decide on what car to buy next

Thanks

Are you talking about the diesel or the petrol model.

petrol and that is strange, maybe it has to be with a dealer- lathangi in this case who is on the higher side? Actual figures from people who got serviced will help

Have'nt done the 2nd free service yet..but ghodlur@ has done it recently..check it at http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-d...ml#post1895423

This matches with yajaman's costing as posted above.

Same here, service costs are considerably similar or lower compared to others in the segment. Definitely not higher than others as believed and communicated all these years about Ford brand.

hey seems like you have the car for longer than the free service interval- any numbers you can share for paid services?

shajufx · 22nd May 2010, 09:44

First one was Free, second one was free too, but I paid for the oil and filter thats around Rs.850/. You can see my post here http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/1695782-post666.html Dont count the total mentioned in that post, because I had to realign the head light assembly which was hit and broken by a horse on my trip to Kerala.
