Today I went for the first free service of my car @ 1321 kms. I followed each and everything they do at first service - found them to be adequate.
What they did for free:
1. complete wash (including under body) + wipe dry
2. wash all mats
3. inside carpet+ seat covers vacuum
4. applied 3M plastic polish to all plastic components (door step which gets scratched, side/front plastic garnishing etc,full dashboard)
5. applied 3M leather care solution to seat covers
6. Applied 3M tire shine.
7. Check all oil levels (engine/brake/transmission etc) and wiper fluid level.
8. Check and refill air to all tires (32 psi)
9. Polish a few scratches (though that did not help much - painting is required) with rubbing compound.
what they did for a charge (Rs 2123/-):
1. complete under body anti rust coat
2. Exhaust system protection coat
I asked the SA to change the oil and filter. He was reluctant from the start, and I finally managed to persuade him to change the oil @ 2000 kms, as all metal slivers should have come out by that time.
Also - I really do not know how the cleaning and coatings magically fixed a niggling low frequency rattle I was having!! I took out the SA for a spin and found the rattle to be gone. The SA suggested that maybe it was due to the loose nut holding the spare in place, which he tightened earlier. Also suggested gravels lodged in under body parts as the probable reason.
After they applied the under body coating and exhaust system coating, the mechanic took me under the concrete podium the car was placed upon, and explained to me how and where they put in the coats. I was impressed by this!

The coatings took most of the time I was in the workshop - around an hour.
All in all, a nice experience for me servicing my car for the first time @ Mukesh Hyundai workshop. Look forward to the oil change after this really!
