Yes, we do have the AMCs but not from Honda, it is from your dealership. Like in Mumbai, there is Arya Honda(Shaman Group) and they have 2yrs/4 services AMC, just like that the other dealers of Mumbai; Linkway Honda, Regent Honda, Apex Honda, Viva Honda etc all have these AMCs.
The things covered under such AMCs defer from dealer to dealer. For example, wheel alignment and balancing is covered under the AMC of Arya Honda but it may not be covered under some other dealer's AMC. Then the number of free exterior polishing and interior detailing may vary from dealer to dealer and so on. The price also varies depending on what your dealer is offering but it is in the ballpark of 22k-25k for 2 years which is very reasonable considering the freebies included in the AMC.
But remember one thing, you cannot change to service centers of another group in between your AMC period. So if I have Arya Honda's AMC but I take my car to say Linkway Honda then I will have to pay Linkway Honda for the service, as the AMC is dealer specific. You can visit the different branches of the same group if you want, that's allowed. So when I have Arya Honda's AMC, I can take it to any of the 5 branches they have in Mumbai for service without any problem.
Let me know if you have any other doubts regarding these AMCs, I have been using them since the last 5 years now for my 2012 City and also have it for my 2017 City, so have a fair bit of experience to help you out.
It is a brand which makes components of the braking system; discs, pads, calipers etc.

Do we have clear/frameless wiper blades from Bosch? Where did you get it from ?
|
You can visit any spare-parts shop and buy them. They will even fit it for free. Bosch wipers are cheap and you can change them every year just before the monsoons.
The ones you bought from the dealer are Syndicate wipers, little expensive but very good. Should last you atleast 2 years if they are taken care of.

Coolant - I guess, they may say this is the minimum quantity since we can't share with others! You never know, Being Honda [or Toyota], they could say and we would accept!

Honda's coolant is good for 10 years/1 lakh kms AFAIK. I changed my 2007 City's coolant only after I had crossed this interval last year, before that I had never even needed to top it up.

All I can say, this is an absolute rude from the service perspective. Its a clear exploitation. Guess what, I would stand in line at 8:45AM in next 6 months for 50K ODO service in the same location because I dont have any better choice!

I would say, stay away from this service center. You are not the first one to have complaints with this dealership. Give them your piece of mind when you get the feedback call, let them know how you felt after spending 18k on a service.
You had a bitter experience because of the crooks sitting inside this dealership, don't let it ruin your ownership experience. Honda's are very easy to live with, you just have to get hold of the right dealer/SA and leave the rest on them.
