It seems expensive at first but when you see the list, it was worth it. rather than wasting money behind a new car.<\/h2>\n

Its been a long 8 years since this thread saw an update.<\/p>\n

8 years. The world changed. The universe changed. People have changed. The country has changed. Analytics have changed. Analysts have changed. Summit has changed. Venues have changed. And above all, responsibilities have changed.<\/p>\n

Today, September 8 2023. The car is now with me, for a few months (or maybe years?), as the family is in the states for their projects. A LOT has changed since then.<\/p>\n

Throughout this 8 year tenure. the car continued to perform flawlessly, as a city runabout and daily drive. There was a gap in me seeing the car, and over the years, though most services were performed at authorized Maruti Suzuki workshops, the quality of service and customer centricity began to deteriorate. Age related issues crop up, but the car never got much of TLC simply because of time constraints or waning interest.<\/p>\n

The car came to me on August 4 2023. it just looked OK, had its fair share of battle scars, but mechanically it needed attention, and that meant a hefty bill as well. My cousin agreed to this, since anyways he was out, it gave me enough time and space to begin to mechanically and cosmetically redo the car wherever required. Body was not an issue, but few dents…and many things needed attention.<\/p>\n

I began to make a list of the priority problems to be attended to followed by the minor ones at the last stage.<\/p>\n

Made my visit to Jhalak cars (the guy who does my Fiats) Noida and the following tasks were performed.<\/p>\n
