Yes Umang its really sad to see Raj's Scorpio for theft attempt.

Hi guys this is my Estimation quote for 20k service interval.
As soon as the free service is over the A.S.S starts hiking price of spares.

Mukesh, your maintanance cost looks big.

 

[raj_5004]

the theft attempt which happened with my car & the amount spent on it cannot be included in 'maintainence' costs right?!

maintainence costs include general services & repairs, if any.

 

[RSM]

Yes maintanance cost is normal serive and normal wear-n-tear. No accident or other accessories cost should be included here.

Hey RSM, Punto looks to have cheap maintenance. 5k is quite low for an annual service.

 

[RSM]

Yes it is.
With Tata if Fiat has reputation of bad servicing, then it has advantage on cheap spares.
