Yesterday I did 2nd Year paid servicing for Beat LT Petrol. The total cost came to 4K wich included Oil & Oil Filter change, Tyre Rotation , WA & WB. I need to do this only once a year or 10K Kms. Looking at the cost I found it reasonable.

For less than 10K kms per year use, why don't you go for a Petrol car? It will be around Rs.1.2 lakhs cheaper than an equivalent diesel model. With a difference in running cost of around Rs.2.50 per km, it will take a running of about 40 to 50K kms to cover the initial price difference.

Tata Motors offers AMC packages to help keep a tab on maintenance costs. One such package is 3-years/45,000 kms Gold AMC for Quadrajet costing around Rs.8300/-. It will mostly be a little lower for Petrol models.

Zest's Revotron isn't underpowered as other 1.2L petrol motors. Being turbo-charged, it delivers much higher torque of 140 Nm at a lower RPM range of 1800-3000. Test drive it once before you decide on your next car.

About the AMC packages, there are different options: Platinum/Gold/Silver for different periods like 2/3/4/5 years. My dad has taken 3-years Gold AMC for his Zest Qdjt for around Rs.8300. You can ask for all details before choosing the best suited one.

Is Renault Kwid Maintenance Really High?

This is my first car. I had give my Renault Kwid for 2nd Servicing (general checkup) yesterday and they charged Rs.5857. I've attached the screenshot of invoice. I wanted to know if the charge are justified or higher than normal compare to other cars in this segment?

Re: Is Renault Kwid Maintenance really high?

All the things under labor section was unnecessary. Only if you joined this site a day before service and asked us what all needs to be done.
The service center duped you. Did they tell you about these costs before giving it for service ?
Your total bill should have been 1300rs and you wasted 4500rs on these unnecessary items.

Next time ask here before giving it for service or check your manual. Do only what manual says. Nothing esle. No lubrication , no cleaning.

Btw what the hell are the miscellaneous charges ?

Im sure you can challenge them in case you dont see any changes done to interior ie if they simply charged without doing anything at all
Interior enrichment etc is a scam imho

Re: Is Renault Kwid Maintenance really high?

I own Tiago Diesel. Two services done and both costed ₹0.

They never charged me for interior cleaning and polishing, exteriors too were polished.

Also ₹5857 is too high for its segment and for a petrol car.

Re: Is Renault Kwid Maintenance really high?

I am deeply sorry to say this, but you fell a victim of a racket by ASC's. There was no need for interior enrichment and engine coating. AC vent cleaning could have been done as a DIY instead of paying them.

Shouldn't it be Rate after discount+total tax = Total Amount for labour part too ? Is it just me or math is wrong in that section [confused]

What is that compressor-cool which was replaced under warranty ?
