Routine maintenance of vehicles at official workshops is one of the important things that must be done by every consumer, both those with conventional and hybrid engine cars such as the All New Ertiga Hybrid. As the first LMPV in Indonesia that uses electrification technology, the All New Ertiga Hybrid has a fairly affordable maintenance cost.
Just like other Suzuki cars, consumers who service the All New Ertiga Hybrid at an official Suzuki workshop will benefit from free Service, Oil and Part fees for up to a distance of 50,000 km. “Regular maintenance at official workshops has many advantages, both for hybrid and conventional ones, such as affordable prices, free service, oil and parts up to 50,000 km, handled by certified experts, and checking as many as 23 standard items.
With certified technicians, in addition to worry-free consumers, the maintenance process is carried out properly so as to maintain optimal engine performance so that the driving experience becomes more comfortable and safe. In addition, the positive impact of the after-sales price will remain good even though it has been used for many years," explained Hariadi, Asst. to Service Dept. Head of PT SIS.
When carrying out periodic maintenance at an official workshop, Suzuki will check using a battery tester and Suzuki Diagnostic Tools-II in every vehicle check. When the mileage reaches 10,000 km, Suzuki will check the condition of the vehicle thoroughly and replace the engine oil, oil filter, and gasket to ensure optimal engine performance, fuel consumption efficiency, and low exhaust emissions. When traveling a distance of 20,000 km, Suzuki will perform engine oil changes, oil filters, gaskets, and spark plugs.
At a distance of 30,000 km, it only requires replacing the oil filter, engine oil and gasket again. Furthermore, when the mileage reaches 40,000 km, consumers get engine oil changes, oil filters, gaskets, air filters, spark plugs, transmission oil, brake fluid and radiator coolant.
When the distance reaches 50,000 km, the maintenance carried out is still the same as the maintenance for the 30,000 km mileage to ensure the optimal kitchen runway system, good fuel efficiency, and low exhaust emissions.
Affordable maintenance costs are also evident from the total estimated cost of periodic maintenance of the All New Ertiga Hybrid for the next mileage, which is from the period of 60,000 km to 100,000 km, which ranges from 5 million rupiah.
The total cost includes service fees and purchases of fast moving components and lubricants that must be replaced due to the period of use, but does not include the purchase of slow moving parts according to conditions of use.
For the maintenance of the All New Ertiga Hybrid Lithium-ion battery, Suzuki's official workshop will always check the condition of the battery and make sure it works optimally. If a problem occurs, removing and installing the lithium-ion battery must be carried out at an authorized Suzuki repair shop and handled by experts.
Then, for lithium-ion batteries that are not used or damaged, they can be returned to an authorized Suzuki workshop and will then be handled by a third party who has collaborated with Suzuki to manage B3 waste.
"In addition to the competitive price of the All New Ertiga Hybrid, Suzuki also provides ease of service. Coupled with the special warranty for lithium-ion battery and Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) for 5 years/100,000 km.
This convenience is expected to make Suzuki car owners always carry out regular checks and periodic maintenance at Suzuki authorized workshops, "concluded Hariadi.
