Hi Guys, I am going tomorrow for 3 rd free service.......Urgent need for the estimate.......i have been told 5500, including brake pads(2200) and spark plugs......Does it sound right........???

Break pads so soon? I spent around 1.6k I think. Spark plugs only at 40k KMs was what my service advisor told me.

Hi,

I have also changed my brake pads recently. The price was 1800 with labor. However, my brake pads was changed at 33,000 Kms. So, I think you should confirm the same once again.

I guess the service guys will change it even if it just needs cleaning.

Have to examine the old pads and verify that it did require changing.

That sounds about right.

My car had done around 17000 KM. I specifically asked him about the spark plugs at 20000 KM. He showed a chart that was there at the workshop showing that it only needs to be changed at 40000 KM. The manual does say 20000KM though. I will have to verify when I go there next.

I guess with spark plugs, the service interval doesn't matter. If it does have to be changed at 20k, I suggest you take it back to them when your car has done around 20k.

I had just sent my Logan for service at 20000, service manager said that the would check the brake shoes, and if necessary would change them.

As I am a relatively "brakeless" driver - the brakeshoes did not need replacement!

Ok Folks, My car came back from her 3rd service, Its a 2 part story, The Good and the Bad....I ll start with BAD......

Upon inspection i was informed that the brake pads and air filter will be CHECKED FIRST and only if NEEDED, will be replaced.. However, once they started they decided to change them none the less...I intervened and inspected myself and found out that the Brake pads were like New...Very thick...the air filter was also in a good shape but the mechinic tored it

Senior supervisior told me Engine oil, air filter, oil filter alone wud cost me 1700....

..Did freak me out....

The Good.....

Then appeared the GM Service, Who was doing routine rounds.....I spoke with him for 10 min.....And then.....Everything changed....

Apologizes started flowing profusely......
Pricelist was rechecked and now those parts were for 955

...
Coffee/Softdrinks were served every 15 min....which i politely refused...
A chair in the workshop was offered where my car was get serviced..how cool is that....

........
The mechanic doing my car was instructed to replace/repair anything i d ask.....without any questions....He did just that......
They went on and gave me a another 5% discount....dunno why...

Also they gifted a T-shirt.....said i am an inportant customer to them....

Since the car had only done 14000kms, they didnt change the spark plugs, but asked me to get the car when its done 20000 and they ll do it without any labor charges.....BTW.....Spark plug set was for 1100, now it is for 250....

......

My Clutch was hard as hell, so i asked them to check that...the cable was replaced then since then........OMG......its light as melting butter in my mouth....like i am swimming in a pond of cream.....Amazing.........

Brake pads were cleaned and after the bite has come back...

Entire service costed me....1959Rs, including:

Engine Oil.....513rs
Oil Filter....... 88rs
Air Filter.......354rs
Tank Addi.....410rs
Car Lube......360rs
Taxes..........233rs

All in All, It was a good experience and since the clutch and brakes have been sorted out......I am back in the game.....Fallen all over again with my baby....

Now it sounds good. The brake pads needs to to cleaned, I generally do the same after every 5000 Kms. Some black dust gets accumulated in the inner surface of the wheel cap if the brake pads are not clean. You can use the same as a check.

Regarding the spark plug, the service center guy has told me to get it changed after 20,000 Kms. I have changed the same during my 3rd service. The cost was around Rs 1100/ .I will have to do the same again at the time of 5th service.

Dushie, Where have you got hold of this from?

In our company a lot of my colleagues are going for company car's and
we have a tie-up with some firm for that. They are responsible for
providing cost, getting test drives and other details from vendors.

Their representative had visited to office and was making a case for Ford Ikon diesel. He offered the spare part comparison and other details.I just got it from him and posted it there, as i was looking out for the same for some time now.

Hope it helps our members to get a clearer picture ...
Also someone at Mahindra should wake up ...

I have already spoken to a Mahindra Renault Rep and he said that this is untrue. He said he'd send me a Mail today on the same comparison.

Spark plug change is only at 40K kms. I asked on the official Mahindra Renault wall on facebook.

My Question: When do we need to change the spark plugs on a 1.6 GLSx? When I took it in for my third service, my service advisor told me I don't have to worry about it till 40000km. But the manual says 20000km and service advisors at other dealerships (other cities) seem to think it is 20000km. I specifically asked my service advisor about the 20000KM mentioned in the manual and he still said it is only 40000km. My Logan has done around 19000km so I need to know if I have to change the plugs after another 1000km.

Their Answer: Dear Deepak - it should be 40K kms or 24 Mnths whichever is earlier.

So, there is no need to spend for spark plugs so early..

Thanks for replying RDR buddy....But i am really really amazed to see the discord between Renault and Mahindra....Mahindra guys dont even read the manuals it seems before talking to customers....

During my last visit, the service adviser told me that the anti corrosion warrenty is only valid till 2 yrs

..........So good question to confirm with the Renault or mahindra seniors(whoever the heck they are).............

Crappy Bunch of fools Mahindra and Renault....
