Car clocked 1180Kms
its First Free Service time,
opted for pickup and Drop facility, as I didn't get time to drop car at service station.

service Points
1. asked for Oil change,
PDI guy: Sir Oil change is not required, we will do topup.

2. check for wheel allignment
PDI guy: Sir we will check every thing. don't worry, and after service we will perform a test drive, if we find something, we will resolve that.

3. what about polish?
PDI guy: Sir we have package
one time polish 980/INR.
Two years polish package 4200/INR.

4. What all you do in normal Polish?
PDI guy: Sir we do Interior polish, like Dashbord, and carpet cleaning. wheel polishing.

5. What about normal body polish?
PDI guy: Sir we don't perform normal body polish, we have only two offers
polish will be done under only those two option. we will do just normal water wash.[surprise]

I was surprised, why they don't polish vehicle, for each time polish they are charging 980.INR for one polish,
on the other hand, Toyota does polish every time when vehicle goes to service centre.

I guess I got better package with me,
I told PDI guy, I got better polish, I'll do that at home

you can get those frames in RTO office. in assam, they charges 700-1000 bucks. but don't know about other place. i have the covers. they are helpful. they protect the body from the metal plate.and also help to reduce the rattling sound when the plate vibrates after long drive in a bad road.

980 INR for one time polish?? better do it yourself at home. or outside washing centers for 3 times less than the dealer.

they are calling it as paint protection treatment.
I couldn't understand why they termed it like this.
may be trick to get more money from customer.

every car service centre performs normal polish after car wash.

Thank you Akins ji,
Yes I got these frames from RTO.
they charged me 600/INR for both front and rear number plate.

my main reason for frame is when we wipe dust from car, sometimes cloth gets stuck in number plate and while pulling it out it bends number plate towards outside, this has happened with me many times in Innova.

and black number plate frame suits on white color. it gives nice look.

980 INR for polish in waste of money. Even at hyundai they charge 750 INR. Official 3M car care does it for 550 INR (Washing, Galze & Waxing) in Mysore.

Calling it as paint protection treatment is similar to " Underbody treatment". Just other way to get money from consumer.

I may be a part of an odd bunch, I enjoy waxing my car. The end shining and glaze after completing wax feels soooo gooood......[:D]

Hi.
Over all experience is awesome.
City is really comfirtable,
sound of engine is present in cabin, only when music is OFF, once you turn on music, even at low voice, you won't hear engine sound.
Fuel efficiency is around 27-28 (with AC) on highway,
in cities its around 24-25 (with AC)

only one problem I faced is Low ground clearance (may be because ealier I was driving Innova)

I'm enjoing honda city drive. No problem faced till now.
