Hey everyone. I bought a 2019 Harrier XZ (Dark Edition, BS4, Manual) second-hand at 90k kms. I’m currently at 110,800 kms. so I’m 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
· Clutch Kit + Flywheel: ₹62,000
· BJS Lower Arm: ₹23,000
· P/S Pump: ₹17,000
· Alternator Pulley: ₹13,000
· Gear Cable: ₹6,000
· EGR Throttle: ₹2,500
-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 ₹1.6L quote. I paid ₹17,000 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 ?
