Car servicing facility for every 25 km across India
Affordability and convenience of buying a car in every city has increased demand. A recent estimate says the total number of vehicles in India are 60-70 million and 14% are cars and taxis.
After-Sales service would become a major criteria while selection of any car for buying. Maruti announce to add 1500 car servicing outlets by 2015 and plans to open car servicing facility for every 25 kms across India.
Maruti has a large network of MASS (maruti authorized service station) apart from servicing outlet at dealerships. Presently Maruti has 2992 maruti service stations in 1,406 cities in India.
In small town, customers need to get their servicing done from nearest major city. Opening service centers everywhere within 25 kms definitely would help customers to enjoy facilities. This approach definitely help increasing Maruti cars sales.
Last year Tata Motors focus on after sales service to increase sales of Nano in small towns. Now for every car manufacturer, building a network of car servicing outlets also is become important while opening sales outlets.
