2 years & 21000 kms with my Seltos D AT: 2nd service & other updates

Service was more expensive than I expected. The initial quote was around 11,500/- but I probed and discovered that they'd included a deep clean and wheel alignment/balancing in that.

BHPian noopster recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Two years of ownership up and time for the 2 year/20,000 km service. Called up Crystal Kia and set up an appointment for the first Saturday of February. Coincidentally the car was in a fender bender the day before the scheduled service so it had to go for a body shop visit first. My zero-dep policy took care of the damages, then they sent it to the Kia service centre across the road for the routine paid service.

It was more expensive than I expected. The initial quote was around 11,500/- but I probed and discovered that they'd included a deep clean and wheel alignment/balancing in that so dropped those out. Later they found out that the wipers weren't cleaning properly, something I'd noticed but had forgotten about. So the final bill came to around 8800/-.

Car felt good after delivery- they had shrink-wrapped everything and for some reason it still retains its new-car smell. I took it for wheel alignment & balancing at a place called Sadguru Wheels near my place and they did a competent job at 950/- They offered to wash and vaccuum my car for 350/- so I took them up on that.

Some pics of the car, now at around 21,250 km:
