Santro Xing XG Service

Hi,

I appreciate the effort put by the people in launching this great website where in people like us who care for money and car can share the thoughts.

         I own a Santro XG Oct 2004 Model , done 31500 KM. Recently i realised that slowly and gradually the service cost from Authorised service center cost's a lot of money( Rs 2500/- in delhi). It was a generall service, with no replacement at all(lucky me)

Now i've planned to service thru a local mechanic. NEED your verdict on what all i need ( like oils, filters, if any supplements) to get the service done on my own & WHICH brand shall i go for. ALSO someone suggested me for ENGINE FLUSHING , what is it & is it necessary for my car?

 

Please Suggest

Regards,
Nitin Jain

hi nitin..well that was a very question.... Banwari Sir, i wud like to add on to Nitin's question......... d Question is....... in order to keep a car "healthy n fit" to the max... should one always go to the Authorized Service centre or not ?... Nobody wants to save a few bucks and cut the life of the car...,but the other thing is that do these Authorized service centers actually help in the long run or is it just lik a brand-mark....which charges u more..n den provides u an AC Lounge n complimentary snacks wen we get are cars serviced ??...

Hey Thanx Karan....for nailing my question properly...!!!!

Mr. Sharma, please suggest.

also Nitin.... @ 2500,tell me wat all is written on ur jobsheet?.. Oil change,Filter,labour charges...... wat else ??...

Just that what you mentioned..... 1) Engine Oil , 2) Air Filter , 3) Oil Filter, 4) 4 new spark plugs ( Since they need to be replaced)

well.. i guess... dey're not Overcharging u 4 sure... but then ..these factory expenses r stil alot more than ne other small scale workshops not associated wid d company. So Banwari Sir/Ashish...r question is still the same...waiting for ur answer ...

no answers yet

Guess wont be able to save money

no no .....lets wait for expert's comments.... just adding a post to this thread so that Ashish/Ban see's it 1st...... (top priority !!..hehe)

also KARAN i recently realised that my santro is not giving the mileage
it should . i guess it's somewhere around 10-11(recent one).What could
be the reason....is it due to....1)Filling station from where i fill petrol...2)Need
something called engine flushing ......or ?????

Plz help me on this......
