Jeep Compass service experience; Cost break-up of 3rd & 4th services

Overall, the car is doing very well. I don't think I could have bought a better car in 2021.

BHPian Pancham recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Retro-Update

3rd Service Completed (2nd full paid service at 30,000kms)

ODO: 24,265kms

Date: 30 September 2023

Service Centre: Landmark Jeep, Gurgaon

Cost: INR 19,824 / - (includes wheel balancing and alignment (WA/WB) which costed INR 2,433.75).

I realised I hadn't updated the second paid service in this thread (done last year). Here are the details and cost break-up:

4th Service Completed (3rd full paid service at 45,000kms)

ODO: 38,701kms

Date: 15 September 2024

Service Centre: Landmark Jeep, Gurgaon

Key part replacement: Brake pads at around 39k kms.

Cost: INR 31,109/ -

The cost includes:

(a) Wheel balancing and alignment (WA/WB) which costed INR 1,581.94.
(b) Change in Brake Pads which costed INR 7,536 + labor and taxes.

Average FE (last 3 years): 11.73kmpl

Upcoming major expense: Around INR 60k for new tires. The tires currently look great at around 40k kms. I think they can easily do another 15k kms. These are stock Bridgestone tires. I have had only three punctures till date and I ensure tire rotation is done every 15000kms.

Overall, the car is doing very well - so well that there is nothing really to report. I don't think I could have bought a better car in 2021. The engine is yum (has a beautiful clatter), power delivery has become a lot smoother (I feel), interiors have held up well, and overall car feels solid. Nothing really to complain. No rattles, except a sound from the sunroof which surfaces on rare occasions (especially when left parked under the sun for long).

About the service:

The SA kind of ticked me off with the initial quote which was around INR 36,000 as standard service which I was told that I HAD TO GET DONE in order to avail any future warranty claims. This included sunroof cleaning which was 5.9k, and so on. This kind of left a bad taste in my mouth and I had to argue with the SA to remove all unnecessary items. With that said, the SA estimated a bill of around INR 25K.

I have started leaving the car at the workshop. I just dont have the stamina to spend the whole day at the SC. Most of the time the car remains unattended and I have nothing much to do but roam around twiddling my thumbs.

Around 3pm, the SA called to tell me that the brake pads needed to be changed. I felt they were perfectly alright and asked him not to. He sent me a hazy photograph which didnt help. After hanging up, I thought about it - the original pads had done 38k kms and I was told they would do another 1-2k kms. I decided to go ahead with the change. I felt they had lasted sufficiently long.

Finally, after all the discounts, the bill came to INR 31,109/-.

Service cost details (notice how expensive the engine oil has become since last year):

Some random pictures from last few days:

I get my car professionally washed almost every weekend. This is after one of the cleaning sessions

At the SC after the 4th service.

As I said, interiors look good after almost three years and 39k kms.
