HIGH DEALER MARGIN: Dealerships spray a ₹100 aerosol can into the vents and bill ₹1,200 to ₹1,800. Only cabin filter replacement is needed.
UNNECESSARY ADD-ON: Harsh solvent chemicals can dislodge sludge that clogs oil pick-up strainer mesh. Not recommended in vehicle user manuals.
OEM flat-rate manuals define this as 2.0 to 2.5 hours. Ensure they do not charge extra labour for oil filter or air filter which is part of PMS.
Dedicated tyre shops (Apollo, MRF, Bridgestone stores) typically charge ₹600-₹800 with better laser calibration than dealership workshops.
