Got to check the recommended replacements @45k service. |
Safari's experience - Recommended replacement would charge you around Rs.10-15K based on normal or synthetic oil that you go in for. Thats the reason, I say 4yr/50K Gold AMC makes better sense than its 4yr/40K plan. Quote:

The extra stuff in the Gold plan over the Silver plan (i.e. clutch, brake, wipers) is subject to adjudication by the Tata Motors Warranty/Claims/Value Care team. In short, it depends greatly on your rapport, persuasion skills, and is not a given.
The final clincher is for those like me who may not touch 50K kms in 4 years (depending on my past car mileage histories), the time term will arrive first, and I would have paid the 19K extra for no added benefit.
Thats my thought process on this issue. |
@Ebonho, you are spot ON about the personal relationship and as long as we dont pick up fights with the service manager/advisor, they will make sure to get us the maximum benefits.
As a matter of fact, all these 3 were changed/covered for me in the 4yr/40K Gold AMC plan.
This is special about TATA and most other Indian companies. The MNC's go straight as per their paper/agreement since they trust their machines more than people [users] saying its "abnormal" usage and not covered in AMC/warranty.
While TATA covered me the maximum till date under warranty/AMC, Bridgestone shew me one small wall scratch and said "not covered under warranty" when my tire ran less than 7K KMs.
In addition, we should be aware that 4yr/40K does NOT take care of 3yr/45K service even though the ODO might have run less than 40K on 3yr service.
Similarly, 4yr/50K will NOT cover 4yr/60K service since the AMC is covered only till 50K KMs service, but not 60K service list.
This is where I had to pay for my 3yr/45K service a couple of months ago since I had 4yr/40K plan.
Hence, suggesting 4yr/50K gold AMC.
