25,000 Km and 3rd Service Update

Hi guys, I hope you all are doing well. I have completed close to 25,000 kms on my Creta Diesel AT in just 11 months of ownership.

Back in August, the car hit the 20,000 km milestone and I got it serviced at Monarch Hyundai Piplod, Surat.

3rd Service/ 20,000 km Service Cost - Rs 5200/-

Service Bill

So I booked an appointment for the service from my Hyundai app which is very easy to use. In 1 hour of booking, you will get a call from the ASS for booking confirmation.

Engine oil, Oil filter, Cabin filter, Fuel Filter were replaced and Alignment + Balancing was done too. This was the last free service, from next time I will have to pay the labour charge.

I want to say that Creta is very light on the pocket, service cost is very reasonable and the cost of parts is not too high which gives a peace of mind and confidence to keep the car for the long term.

As always Monarch Hyundai did a wonderful job. The washing quality was very nice, I would rate them the best out of all the other service ASS like Mercedes, Kia, Renault, Jeep in which I have been for Service of my current / older cars.

This time the ASS was giving out shampoo-like sachets of Tyre polish, windshield washer fluid, and Dashboard polish of Hyundai brand and added charges of these in the bill.

Fuelio Statistics

• Average Mileage - 15.2 kmpl
• Average Cost per km- Rs 6 /-

Frankly speaking, I expected more mileage from Diesel Creta (70% of my running is on the highway) but this is what it gives and I am a sedate driver. I don't like sudden acceleration and braking, I like to maintain speeds of mostly 90 kmph and upto 120 kmph less frequently. I think there is a 2-2.5 kmpl of mileage difference between Manual Creta and AT Creta.

The mileage shown on the MID is always 15% more than tank-to-tank mileage to make the owner happy.

I bought Creta due to its niggle free nature and good reliability and it is standing strong on it.
