Tata Tiago 6 year service: Stuck to the schedule despite very low usage

I wanted to get the AMT oil changed, but the SA (rightly) said that it is sealed for life, and doesn't require any maintenance.

BHPian libranof1987 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Got the six year servicing done on my Tiago, and followed the schedule, despite low yearly running. The following jobs were done:

  1. Engine oil + Filter
  2. A/c filter
  3. Spark plugs
  4. Brake oil
  5. Rear brake liner + cylinder: there was no issue as such, but every monsoon, the rear left brake had a tendency to get stuck causing a major challenge. Decided to get them changed, much to the surprise and initial reluctance (in good faith) of the SA
  6. Wheel alignment + balancing

Total cost: 9.2k

I wanted to get the AMT oil changed, but the SA (rightly) said that it is sealed for life, and doesn't require any maintenance. On my insistence, he said, they've never done it, and he doesn't know if they even stock the oil, and that they'd have to look the procedure up. During car pick up when I reminded him, he seemed slightly more eager and confirmed that the oil was in stock, and that we could get it done at next service.

He also mentioned that the A and C mounts (of A, B, C) have issues: A has a tiny crack, and C has worn off bushing. I was quite surprised by this, and looked it up on this thread, only to find it to be a common issue. The SA said that these should last another year, but I'll get all three mounts replaced in the next three months, just to be on the safer side.
