What will service cost?

Service quotes are easier to read when "yearly" includes the lumpy items — tyres and the starter battery. This calculator amortises both into a single per-year figure so two vehicles are easier to compare.

Numbers reflect typical authorised-service bills in Indian metros for 2026. Independent garages can be 30–40% cheaper for older vehicles. Tweak any field to match your own garage’s quote.

What goes into the number

  • Labour. Authorised-service-centre labour for the scheduled visits.
  • Consumables. Engine oil, oil filter, air filter, brake fluid, coolant top-ups.
  • Tyres. Cost of a set divided by tyre life in km, multiplied by your annual mileage.
  • Starter battery. Replacement cost spread over its expected life.

What is not included

  • Accidents, insurance claims, and one-off repairs.
  • Tax, registration, and ownership-transfer fees.
  • EV high-voltage traction battery replacement (this is usually covered by warranty in the first 8 years; we treat it as out of scope).
