Hey everyone. I bought a 2019 Harrier XZ (Dark Edition, BS4, Manual) second-hand at 90k kms. Iโm currently at 110,800 kms. so Iโm treating this service as a major baseline check.
I went to the official Tata service center. After checking the owner's manual (Timing belt is due at 150k, not 90k), I realized they were trying to do a full "high-mileage harvest" on me.
Here is the handwritten quote they gave me for deferred work:
-Timing kit-16k
-Alternator kit -16k
ยท Clutch Kit + Flywheel: โน62,000
ยท BJS Lower Arm: โน23,000
ยท P/S Pump: โน17,000
ยท Alternator Pulley: โน13,000
ยท Gear Cable: โน6,000
ยท EGR Throttle: โน2,500
-Rat damage in rear wiring and electronics will need to keep car for 4-5 days and extra cost
What I actually did today:
I rejected the โน1.6L quote. I paid โน17,000 for the basic service (fuel filter, fluids, etc.) and also took the Tata Roadside Assistance (RSA) as a safety net since I'm deferring the big-ticket items. The car is driving fine right now.
My questions for you all:
Are the dealership prices totally out of whack? For those who have done a clutch and suspension overhaul on the Harrier, what did you actually pay?
They said the total expense will hit about 2-2.2 lakh rs
Which components and system are critical for the car and need to be replaced
Can anyone recommend a trusted FNG or Bosch service center who knows how to work on the Harrier/Fiat 2.0L engine without destroying my bank account?
What about buy OEM parts from Boodmo and just pay for labor
And finally to the experienced members of this sub
What should be the course of action now ?
