I was getting frequent service calls from M/s. Popular Maruti Service Center, Saligramam, Chennai since 07-12-2016 for servicing my car. Finally I agreed for the service and enquired about the services. I was informed that water wash and general maintenance at a cost of Rs.1200/=. The car was taken for service on 10-12-2016. While taking the car for service, the driver informed me that the petrol was insufficient and I agreed for make payment for petrol while delivery
Around 1 PM: I received a phone call from the service engineer Shri. Vignesh asking me for permission to change the following items:
1. Engine oil (as 9000 KM had been run after the previous oil change). I agreed.
2. Seat shampoo washing for Rs.1200/= . I did not agree.

At 3:48 PM: I received an SMS stating, “Your car is almost done and will be ready in 45 min. Pls Contact Vignesh at 8678922999 for details…”. I made many calls to this number and there was no response (This number does not exist).
Around 6 PM: I tried to call the works manager in 9282200443 and no one was answering the call. After some time around 6:30 PM, the works manager called my number. I asked for the estimated service charges and the time of delivery of the car. The works manager answered me that the bill was not yet and said that he would call me once the bill was ready generated (the details available in the Invoice No. BR16018126 Dt.10-12-2016 has the time of generation as 1541 IST). No body called me up to 8:30 PM. Around 8:30 PM, the car was brought to me residence and the person from the company. He gave a bill for Rs.11, 960/= (Copy of the Invoice enclosed). I gave a check for Rs.11, 960/= as the card swipe Machine. I also paid Rs.300/ for the petrol by cash.
The following are my complaints:
1. I was not informed or sought permission for services other than water wash and oil change
2. The items detailed in the bill as changed or not found in the car .
3. The performance of the car is not up to my satisfaction.

I received a call from the HQ at Kochi, called me and enquired about the complaints. I briefed them all the complaints. Then Mr. Vignesh, of M/s. Popular Service center, called me. I briefed him also all the complaints. He accepted the faults and requested me to bring back the vehicle to the service center with an assurance that the services shall be done again for my full satisfaction. I also received a call from customer care from M/s. Popular Service Center. I insisted that the service and spare parts charges collected from me for the services which were done without my consent. I was informed that this matter shall be placed in a meeting for decision. Till date nobody has called me. I have never experienced this type of dealings in any of the service centres.
I request the matter may kindly be investigated thoroughly in the service center without disturbing me and inform the action taken.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Dt.21-12-2016 Yours sincerely,
Chennai
