Maruti was not the only automaker to take this step to support customers amidst the lockdowns and restrictions imposed by several states to curb the spread of the second wave of the covid-19 pandemic. Other brands that have offered extensions on warranty periods and free services include - MG Motor India, Toyota India, Skoda Auto India, Mahindra, Tata Motors, and others.
In June 2021, most states started easing the restrictions and lockdowns thus a lot of brands were able to open their showrooms and service centres. However, there several states that still have restrictions on businesses for a specific period during the day. So, before heading out, reach out to your service centre and confirm their working hours. If your dealer is offering a pick-up and drop service or doorstep service facility, you should avail them to keep yourself safe from this pandemic.
