Since the maintenance cost of any vehicle is an important factor while making a new purchase, I am unclear about the maintenance cost and schedule of Dzire. How many free services does Maruti offer? What is the cost of the services after the free services and how often does it need to be serviced? If the cost of maintaining a vehicle turns out to be too high, the purchase decision is sometimes changed. Often the maintenance cost comes to light after a purchase and by then its too late .

Absolutely!
The first three services provided by Maruti Suzuki Dzire are free of labor charges after which you will be charged for subsequent services. The first service must be done at 1 month/ 1000 kms whichever is earlier. The second must be done at 6 months/5000 kms and the third at 12 months / 10,000 kms. In the third service, however, you would be required to pay for Engine oil and filter change which would cost Rs. 2000 - 2300.
Subsequent services must be done every 12 months / 10,000 kms. The fourth service onwards you would need to go for an engine oil change, filter change, wheel alignment, brake and clutch oil and an additional service charge of Rs. 2200 which would make the cost roughly Rs. 6000. This kind of charge would apply only for alternate services or whenever your car goes through extra wear and tear. Otherwise, the services would just include a filter and engine oil change plus the service charges. oolant, spark plug, air filter, fuel filter, brake fluid, throttle body cleaning, AC servicing, clutch plate assembly etc. are based on the requirement.
