Maruti Suzuki has come out with a discounted service package for vehicles damaged in the floods in Tamil Nadu and said it will also announce a scheme to support purchase of new cars.
The automobile manufacturer said in a press release that it estimates over 4,000 Maruti cars will be in need of immediate service.
Since many vehicles will not have a comprehensive insurance, customers may have to pay 50 per cent of the billed amount as the insurance companies charge a depreciating cost. Maruti Suzuki has offered to support 50 per cent of this expense.
Vehicles that have been submerged in water will need thorough cleaning and polishing. Maruti will bear 50 per cent of the cost, the release said.
Through its True Value outlets, it will come up with schemes and discounts to purchase new cars.
The company has deployed two truck loads of spare parts which will soon reach the workshops. Technicians from other parts of the country are also being moved to the flood-affected areas.
In Tamil Nadu, it has 123 dealer workshops and 91 Maruti authorised service stations.
