Engine oil, oil filter and air filter were replaced along with routine checks.

50,000 km service update:
The Storme has clocked 50,200 km. My previous Safari Dicor had clocked 1,00,000 km in the same 4 years. The Storme sees half that mileage. Good considering the fact that I won't be replacing the Storme atleast for the next 5 years.
Tata service has become hectic nowadays. While the service experience is good, the wash quality has gone down. It is the same with Maruti too. In recent experience, Renault does the best job in washing the car when compared to Tata and Maruti.
Last oil replacement was done at 40k km service in August 2021 IIRC. Next scheduled oil service was at 55,000 km. I preponed the service to 50000 km because the Storme is getting used only for long distance drives and trips to places where roads are pathetic. It may take 4 more months to hit the 55k mark.
Engine oil, oil filter and air filter were replaced along with routine checks. LHS rear tail lamp did not work lately. It was replaced. Wheel alignment too was done.
Total bill was Rs. 8.7k:
Tata added this service package along with the bill. It was charged 250 rupees.
It will get me the following benefits:
5% off on all spares:
10% off on labour charges:
New Celerio was my replacement when the Storme was at service. While I loved how effortless it was to drive in the city, I missed the torque of my diesel cars on the highway. It is okay till 80 kmph. The 2021 Celerio is a great city car though- very light steering and clutch, very good driveability from the K10C and excellent all round visibility.
Issues in the Storme as of now:
- Fuel release button has a mind of its own, sometimes it works, the other times the fuel cap has to be opened manually. I raised this complaint during the service. Looks like the entire switch has to be replaced and they don't have it in stock. Since I always refill the tank to full, I decided to ignore this as I visit the fuel bunks only twice a month maximum.
- The rear tailgate door lever used to be smooth in operation. After the service, it has become harder to engage. Will have to check it up when I find time.
Meanwhile, my family friend is getting an Altroz 1.2 N/A XM+ in Gold shade. Both the engine and colour are not something I would recommend.
He asked me to accompany him for the PDI. We did a PDI and the gold colour actually looked good in person:
The same colour on the bigger cars did not look very appealing though. Here are the Kaziranga editions of the Nexon and Harrier:
