Rs. 3.2K for 70K service, thats outstanding. Chennai ford charged me Rs.5K for 30K. Makes me wonder if the service was done by Ford, was it ?

Recently my cousin's Figo had an accident and he got the following damage.
A Big dent in left side front door, Deep scratches on left fender, Damaged front bumper and broken left side ORVM, a thick scratch on A-Pillar.

Total bill for fixing the above is 24k, In which he paid 4.2k from his hand. Its a comprehensive insurance, so he paid 50% for Bumper and ORVM and to fix the metal parts (door and fender) insurance took care of 90% cost and he paid the rest 10%.

He fixed it at MPL vadapalani and he was not at all satisfied with the work.

First they took 10 days to complete the work. Between, One SC called up and said the car is ready, and when he went to pick up the car, the front door and fender was not at all polished, they completed the rough coating and called up to take the car. Also the front door was not properly aligned.
And then after some shouting they took the car again to body shop and gave the car next day after fixing and polishing done.

Still there are some marks on the A-Pillar which they totally ignored and few scratches on the running board also not fixed.

Now they asked to pay for the motor. My cousin's fault is also here as he failed to check things properly before getting the delivery earlier.

Indeed, it is a price to pay for ignorance. Or he can continue believing the washer fluid tank is empty, use the car it is, then he'll not have to pay for it.

One additional story about MPL Ford Vadapalani, which somewhat linked to the above post of mine. My cousin left the car for 10k service today, now the SA called and say, the Windscreen water sprayer motor is missing in the car. We wonder how can it go missing??

My suspicion is that, They might failed to fix it back during the body work done earlier.

BTW, does anyone know if Ford service centers sell spares to outside customers? I was thinking of buying some essentials (as stock) before a planned long trip.

You may do the top up yourself, but for that you have to go to a Ford ASC to buy the equivalent coolant. Ford's coolant costs approx ~Rs. 375.

It appears that the smallest can available is a 5L one. Bought it for 1328/-

Is the coolant available in the outside market? Is there a way to get any small can instead of 5L coolant can? Sheel, how much coolant did you get for Rs. 375?

Yes, you can surely buy Coolant from any spare market shop, get the golden cruiser, one of the cheap and best available in market.

I believe he would have to get rid of the coolant by Ford & then fill any after market coolant. Mixing coolants isn't recommended I think.
