Skoda Kushaq Maintenance Cost 10 Years Analysis,Schedule, Pricing, Service Center Availability(2023)

[@vishalwadhwa7320]

Hi, kudos to you brother for this deep informative video. I dont think someone has ever thought of making such impressive content. Every one is keep explaining interior, exterior, fit and finish and so on. Keep up the good work, we need more videos like this and more people to light up such information. Pleae make video on VW and its a must.

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Thanks a lot Vishal ! 🙏 Your feedback is genuinely helpful and inspiring for me to create more quality content. Virtus video is already live in below link kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3rFf5qah9xpaqcsi=Ek08Z_tvADtFZsPE Taigun video is coming soon

Ofcourse sir with all due respect skoda/ vw cars the best u can get till now in India,, as i have driven vw polo for 4 yrs & 1 lakh km & skoda rapid for 3 yrs & 57000 km.. There r the best..

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Totally agreed! There is a lot of feel in vw/skoda cars

[@narasimhakamath8476]

Sir please share your experience on how much average service cost will come annually, how much mileage minimum, and for a new driver can he drive this manual car, is there any chances of damaging engine or clutch plates

[@abhayrathore9913]

Sir kindly clear the confusion... In skoda should I go for manual or AT..... FROM HIMACHAL

[@Shahid_T_A]

thank you for the detailed report. please include cost of gearbox, suspension mounting, turbo, ecm, AC etc then it will be complete

[@sverma6187]

- Very good analysis - Now difference between service cost of Hyundai/Kia & Skoda/VW is only 20% - But that 20% too is negated by the service intervals - Hyundai/Kia serviced at 10k km whereas Skoda/VW at 15k km - I bet Skoda/VW driving dynamics are way ahead of the Koreans - Just test drive and feel once, never comment before driving these German cars - We need such videos to bring Indians out of the herd mentality set out by Maruti & Koreans

[@sanjeevopeth]

What you ignore the fact is that there a lot of Indians who get their Suzuki's and Hyundai's serviced outside the authorised service centre. You get lot of good mechanics (just need to spend a little time finding them) and you get OEM parts and save on tax and labour cost. After the first 5-6 years you wouldn't mind going to a local mechanic. This model works well for such brands for decades.

[@RahulThakur-nm8bj]

​@@sanjeevopethsame goes with german cars if you know where to go

[@vratnajoshi130]

Maintenance cost doesn't mean just consumables. It shall include spare parts list like clutch plate set (including pressure plate), Timing belt, Drive shaft kit price etc. At 80000 kilometers majority of driveshaft complaints will come as most of cars are running in flooded streets now. Please kindly check the price of complete drive shaft / Steering column cost of VW / Skoda with respect to Maruti and Mahindra.

[@anandshankart]

Is the cost column overall cost? Does it include labor and gst?

[@PradhanAryaman]

Service your car at the authorised service till your warranty then get it serviced outside with the OEM oil and parts , surely would cost less than this

[@CarsPlusBikes]

If someone can really take care of that much, it will surely bring down the costs by 40-50 % easily! But I see nowadays many people want convenience more than anything else. Pick and drop off the car for service is expected by a lot of folks and for such expectations, this level of details and service breakdown does not matter as they are not interested in low-level details. But for those who can go this route of local service with details nothing like it. In fact i do the same for my Ignis which is out of warrant now and Nexa used to bill me more than VW/Skoda!

[@PradhanAryaman]

[@CarsPlusBikes]

my suggestion is to wait for kylaq price as its only a couple of months left! Brezza is very good , but kylaq is going to be spacious and solid too. For kylaqq service cost, its not very high as compared to brezza, i will anyways post a detailed service video for Kylaq too!

[@susantstravelvlog4574]

What if i have driven only 5000-10000km in 2-3 years? Which one should i select?

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Service interval depends on 15,000 Kms or 1 Year - Whichever is earlier. Please note that this line "Whichever is earlier" is the most important bit to understand! SO in your case, if you drive less than 15000 kms in 1 years, it can be anything like 1000 or 3000 or 5000 kms in 1 year, you need to get your car serviced at the end of one year or after an interval of 365 days basically. SO in your case, you need to follow the year wise schedule and ignore kms.

[@sravank7105]

Can you compare different car companies service cost rabk wise

[@santhoshbalaji196]

@carplusbikes well explained !! But what about SUSPENSION REPLACMENT REPLACEMENT , I have done for my VENTO @ 1Lakh KM , REPAINT after 7 years probably ...??

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Suspension replacement will be a bit costly and it is a costly affair for every car. But again, suspension change depends on your driving conditions - the road and terrain. I drove a Hyundai Verna for 1.2 lac km and sold it without touching anything in the car(except ECM which got a sudden malfunction- luck :( ). I feel the suspension replacement situation arises either due to a manufacturing defect or due to driving on bad roads. So suspension replacement scenario may occur to some(but not to everyone) and if you have an extended warranty, it should be covered for upto 7 years. For Kushaq suspension replacement: I estimate it to cost around 40k max( do not have exact figures though)

[@CarsPlusBikes]

What was your bill for vento suspension replacement at 1 lac kms? please share with us as it will be helpful for everyone watching this video.

[@santhoshbalaji196]

@@CarsPlusBikes the front and rear entire set estimated for 84k and after negotiatiion 72K

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Ohh that is some serious bill!

[@santhoshbalaji196]

Yep !!! It's a costly affair with VW , but these are high performance cars ( siblings AUDI A1 2014/ RAPID /POLO ) , It is totally worth to spend for the car , still confident to turn a corner at @120kmph in a 2 way .... Total stability I have driven around 1.15 L kms and pending @1.25 Lakhs there is timing belt change @1.6 lakhs km there is valve kit replacement I think

[@CarsPlusBikes]

At the time of delivery, such packages are sold as part of their ongoing discunts. so when we hear that VW/skoda cars are availabe with 1 to 1.5 lacs discounts, one part of that discount is this service package only!

[@divasniranjan2318]

very detailed analysis. premium quality of content . Great job!! With service pack will above cost will be nullified?

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Yes. If you take a service pack for 4 years, then you can r3duce the 4 years service cost from the table I showed in video! The details i mentioned in this video are bare minimum, must to do service jobs and same is covered in service package! If anything happens to ur car due to your own driving behaviour or driving conditions like bad road, then any additional job/part change would cost extra!

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Thanks Niranjan for the good words,this really motivates me to create more such videos!

[@121mobile]

[@mighty08]

Thanks for the detailed video, can you please make similar one for Maruti Brezza?

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Sure @mighty08, it will be uploaded soon!

[@CarsPlusBikes]

yes so if you see the total service cost of 4 years is coming out to be roughly around 30,000. So their 24000 package means paying for first 4 years service in one go, also beating inflation. and most of the time , this is package is given as free as part of their discounts, which runs one way or the other throughout the year!

[@krishnabhattad1231]

[@abhilashb13]

Thank you for making this video and giving us an idea into maintenance cost.

[@ashwinitoppo506]

Very detailed information. Very useful. One question if my running per year is 4000km then also service cost year wise will remain same or will it be reduced

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Your service cost will remain exactly same . So basically you need to get your Škoda serviced once in 365 days or 15000kms . Case 1: if your running is only 1000km in one year or 4000 or 10000 or 15000, then also service has to be done with same cost at the end of year. Case 2: if your car completed 15000km within 2 months, then u have to get it serviced right there in 2 months at the completion of 15000kms and 365 days/1year rule won’t apply here. And saying it again, cost mention in the video are minimum costs, if you opt for anything extra due to wear/tear or damage, that will cost extra!!

[@known_as_balu]

Hatsoff to you for detailed info. Is this prices including GST?

[@CarsPlusBikes]

GST is included in the aprts price, but not included in labour price! Taxation, as e ll know, is so complex as when you to to a service center to get your car serviced, the cost of parts, labour, OEM parts, Consumables vary from 18% to 28 %, and for some obs, i have also seen the ta to be 8 %. it becomes very impractical to calculate the exact prices including taxes, so i would say for your own personal calculation in mind, ust consider this price + 20% average tax, and your total actual service cost will stay within that limit. And this taxation is all thanks to govt. norms, completely out of hand of OEMs like VW, Sokda, Maruti, Hyundai etc.

[@thomasece]

Wondering if Coolant is for lifetime :)

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Yes. It's not recommended to be changed for 1.5 lac kms and 10 years. However the coolant level is checked in every service and if it drops, then there is an issue. For a minor drop, they will top it up but if it drops by a considerable amount then you should monitor it and get the car checked.

[@im4320]

This is just repair cost, what about part / gear costs which is after 5+ years. which is coming in Lac+

[@himanshusingh2106]

very nice and informative video

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Thanks a lot Himanshu , Really appreciate the appreciation !😍😍

[@vijuvlogs]

Considering the 2.0 program with parts made in India i am guessing there is question on durability of the parts used so at least from 3rd and 4th year onwards you can easily expect more service cost not in every service but a few services till 10th which which make the total cost higher than what you have shown so for the total we can easily add 10000 rs plus if its DSG then perhaps even more

[@vijuvlogs]

And there are wear and tear parts like clutch plate, brake pads which will get changed for sure till 10 years and that will add more cost Plus they recommend XP95 only so you are paying more for fuel as well

[@CarsPlusBikes]

@@vijuvlogs : I agree As i mentioned in the video, the 10 years cost is coming at around 85k, adding all those buffer as you mentioned like clutch plates, brake shoe pads etc i feel it may go upto 1.5 lacs max which translates to 15k per month. This buffer will vary for everyone and it can be minimal for people with low running and for those who take drive sanely!

[@CarsPlusBikes]

Specifically to DSG, I want to mention that there is no gear oil change which makes it a bit cheaper to maintain than the 1.0 Torque converter AT. Also if we drive DSG with the recommended driving style and do not abuse the gearbox, then it works just fine forever without any breakdown. I know when people buy DSG in a Virtus GT, most of them will not drive sanely though :D

[@vijuvlogs]

@@CarsPlusBikes yes I watched your entire video but this DQ200 is infamous for heating and mechatronics getting damaged on sudden acceleration from start .. If people who buy the cars are sensible enough to understand how DSG works and how to maintain turbocharger then your costs will be a reality and like you said it's the min cost of maintenance for sure because the wear and tear components will further increase the cost for sure... And using DSG in slow moving conditions like traffic and bad roads for a longer time can also cause the dry clutch to give out faster

[@CarsPlusBikes]

@@vijuvlogs : Yep DQ 200 is infamous and everyone wants to blame it but no one looks into their style of driving. Mechatronics getting damaged from sudden acceleration from a standstill is something new to me because every KZbinr has tested every VW DSG car like that only(I agree that most(not all) journos won't care much about the test cars). and this is how everyone sharing their ownership experience has shown their cars. I have owned a venue DCT for the past 4 years and tried the aggressive start from a standstill only 2-3 times, I also tested my car in traffic and yes it starts to get heated in traffic quite fast but because I know how it works, I never reached a point where I had to stop my car. Also looking at my car's condition today, it does not feel like it will ask for clutch plate replacement any sooner. here is my venue DCT video in traffic kzbin.info/www/bejne/roavlX6Bj7trjMksi=djK3_3073Ai_AmPM
