Good write up. Good that it did not end up that bad in the end. But I tell you what, Mobil engine oils are being used officially at Shaman Auto in Mumbai for both, Tata & Fiat cars. Infact, they stock Mobil 1 and do not miss an opportunity to tell you how it could help enrich your car's..... or taxi's (as in your case ![Big Grin](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.png) ) engine. The plastic covers or whatever its called that they use to cover the fenders while working near the engine bay are also supplied by Mobil.
In truth, the kind of experience you had at that Service center is nothing out of the ordinary. Really, how many people actually sit down and take a good look at how their car is being done at an ASC? Not many. What most do is that they drop their cars, or better still ask for a pick and drop facility for getting their car serviced, and the car gets done with.End of story for the next six months or so.
In your case, you wrote this stuff because you saw them working on your car. So you got to now how these guys work. The mechanics at any ASC do not really care much about your prized possession, and dont like you around, especially if you worry too much about your car. They are not paid that well, they work in hot and messy environs, and they have too many cars to handle.
The point is, if you would have dropped your vehicle for service and picked it up later, the end result would have been the same. You would get the car after the oil & filter change, wheel balancing and alignment, body wash, etc and you go "wow, good job!". Just that you saw how it was done for you. Anyways, its a good thing to let these guys know that you are around at all times. So please make it a point to never leave your car unattended at any ASC, whether its for a Mobil 1 or even a mineral oil change procedure for that matter.
