Need a favour on the RC part. I am yet to receive the RC and the Insurance document. I was told from TAFE that it will be directly mailed to my residence address. Its been 8 days since delivery and I have not the received the same. Others, can you please inform on the approximate time taken? And will I be receiving the same in mail? Raamki, you seem to be collecting the same from the dealer.
The free checkup is at 7500km or 6 months whichever is earlier. I was shown a free coupon for the same that can be used at the service station. |
I have the normal insurance, did not go for the 0 dep, I thought I had but nope! Anyway, I have looked everywhere and I cannot find that Road Side assistance manual, i'll make sure to ask at first service. Also, I have heard from my manager who purchased the car a month before me got a free service coupon, I did not get this either! I'll probably have to follow up with the sales manager! About the RC Smart card, mine is at the showroom, I just have to go collect it. I took delivery of the car on 1st April 2012 and the RC Card got to the showroom only 3 weeks ago. Apparently, RTO had some issues at their end which caused the delay. Quote:

Strange, I guess this was a problem with the TD car, definitely no fumes/funny odor inside the cabin. Duster seems a good proposition, but in my opinion, it seems way too under powered (85ps), the 110 seems too close to the XUV pricing, is a looker though! I haven't driven the Duster so cannot really comment about it but as far as the Rapid is concerned, it's a breeze to drive, fun too! So take as many TDs as possible and decide! Quote:

I haven't yet received anything from Skoda either. If you purchased from Tafe can you also share the contact of your salesperson so that I can try my luck through him. Per Skoda representative, this card is very much required for them to attend any breakdown. So, I am worried.
raamki: I am also nearing 6K. If my memory is correct, we got our machines on hands almost in the same timeframe too. By the way, I believe the first pre-checkup as they call it is at 7.5K or 6months whichever is earlier. After that comes the actual service which is at 15K or 1 year from the purchase. |
Yes I did, Tafe Hosur Rd. I remember the SA mentioning my first service check was at 6K, but the service document lists it down as 10k, so am not really sure, I'll go back home, take a look and confirm again.
Hopefully, i'll have time to go pick up my RC card tomorrow. From what the manager at the showroom told me, there seems to have been some sort of an issue at RTO causing delays in issuance of RC Smart cards. |
