My 2021 Tata Altroz 1.5 diesel: 6500 km update

The next service will be the proper service involving engine oil replacement and replacement of filters.

BHPian PrasannaDhana recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

2nd Service Completed.

Odo: 6530 km.

The Altroz was left for 2nd service today. Just routine inspection and fluids top up if necessary.

The car was delivered back in the evening. The wash was shabby. I have come to peace with the fact that all manufacturers have started to do a very shabby job of washing the cars after service. Be it Maruti or Renault or Tata, wash is something that leaves me wanting.

Another very irritating thing that they do at the service is applying dash polish all over the cabin. I usually inform them not to. This time, I forgot to do so.

Tata service is busy:

Total bill amount was Rs. 590/-. The next service will be the proper service involving engine oil replacement and replacement of filters. It is at 15,000 km or say, in the month of March.

Service bill:

I always document service records properly. This is how 5 years and 134,000 km of maintenance records of my Ciaz were kept:

The same will be done for the Altroz:

Meanwhile, I drove the new Celerio to work today:

The lifeless vague steering of the new Celerio made me realize how much I miss the Altroz's lovely steering. But the new Celerio is a champ in its area of expertise - Fuel efficiency . Returned an awesome 21.1 kmpl even in dense rural traffic:

This is how the Altroz greeted me in the evening at the dealer:

Now some pics:

And a small clip of how cornering fog lamps work:
