Paid Rs 65K for 2nd service of my Mercedes-Benz GLE 300d at 20K km

I'd say that the fuel efficiency of the car has improved slightly after the service.

Update @ 20,000kms mark

2nd-year service completed @ 20,000kms. This time I decided to give the car to Sundaram Whitefield service centre (which is closer to home than Kasturba Road). As expected, I had a stellar service experience.

The cost was around ~Rs 65,000/-, adjusted against Star Ease Compact Plus 4y/40K (service package).

• All filters and fluids (excluding transmission) were changed
• Wheel alignment and balancing done
• Wiper blades were replaced
• Windshield was polished to ensure no noise (there was squeaking noise)

The Brake Pads still have life and were not changed.

Sounds

One highlight of the service this time is all the squeaking sounds that keep coming from time to time have been fixed (it was one of my lowlights with the car and kept popping up in my previous posts). Sundaram Whitefield sent an expert who identified every noise (I sensed he has a very strong intuition of the structure of the car, packing materials etc.) and isolated the source which was then fixed. At the moment I have a squeaking-free super silent cabin, touchwood.

Mileage

The mileage in the city has increased slightly post 2nd service. Right now I get about 11-12.5km/l in LIGHT Bangalore traffic, with it dropping to 7-9 km/l in HEAVY traffic (HEAVY excludes the "stuck in one place in bumper-to-bumper traffic for 15 mins" type of situation, I avoid them).

Insurance

Renewed the insurance (Star Protect Platinum) through Sundaram this time as well.
