Tata Altroz diesel 60,000 km service update: As good as it was new

Along with the engine oil, oil filter and brake fluid, the coolant was replaced too as Tata Motors recommends doing so at 60,000 km.

BHPian PrasannaDhana recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

60,000 km Service

I did the 45000 km service at 444xx km. I had a weightlifting injury in mid-November which led me to be in bedrest for 3 weeks. Naturally, Altroz usage had come down totally. The car has run less than 1000 km in the last 40 days.

Odo is at 59,300 km. I sent the car for 60,000 km service today.

Engine oil, coolant (Tata recommends coolant change at 60,000 km), brake fluid and oil filter were replaced. Cabin air filter was cleaned. Wheel alignment and balancing was also done. Brake cleaning was done too. Total damage to the wallet was INR 10,176.

While washing the car last time, I noticed the alloy wheel central cap of the front RHS wheel had gone missing. Replaced it today during the service.

The car is as good as it was new. No issues to report.

On a different note, I have a good news and a bad news to share.

Bad news is that my Safari Storme was involved in a minor accident - a Govt bus rear-ended it while moving from a signal stop. More details to be given in my Storme ownership thread once the car is back from repairs. No injuries to anyone.

Good news is that I decided to fill the vacant spot left after selling one of my beater cars last year - the Kwid 1.0 - with a small but safe car. More so after the Storme accident, Dad has been using the Celerio. I decided to retain the Celerio as a pure city beater car and buy a new small car for Dad. Booked a Tata Punch in Orange shade.

See you all until the next update.
