Hi, I read the owner's manual after your reply, and you were correctthe timing belt replacement is specified at 150,000 km. I also reviewed the invoice from my recent service, and it confirms that the FEAD kit was replaced, which the manual recommends changing at 90,000 km. It appears there was a misunderstanding on the part of…
2026-07-29 Hi All, I have been facing an issue related to automatic gear shifting in my 2023 facelift Safari automatic. The issue occurs after climbing an inclined road or ramp, such as in basement parking. If I do not clear the incline with enough speed, the gear shift takes longer afterwards, the engine noise increases, and the RPM goes…
2026-05-23 Hi all, A quick question on Safari service protocol. My 60000 km service is coming up. The service centre said the timing belt needs to be changed at 60 K service and therefore the service will take time (wanted me to leave the car overnight). Is timing belt change at 60k km routine for Tata Safar/Harrieri? Did you all get the t…
2026-03-31 24500 KM update Car is still running fine. Other than few SW niggles and a disaster of FM radio, nothing much to report. Was getting "low brake fluid" warning that started around October last year. Went to service center and it was duly topped up. Car ran fine for about 4 months and the same warning resumed. Something was not ri…
2026-03-08 Not able to attach the video. So sharing screengrabs. The update is that I've been told its a case of some wire being cut by a rodent. Which is very surprising since I have been parking at the same spot for the last 3.5 years and have never had this problem and drive almost everyday. In fact came back from a 120 Kms drive just a…
2025-06-16 I have been owning a Tata Harrier since April 2024 and have already clocked around 19,000 kms. So far, its been a very satisfying ownership experience. I have also had a positive experience with Tatas after-sales service. The service center has been responsive and professional in their approach, and regular maintenance visits ha…
2025-05-24 Some more highlights Total number of kms covered - 97000 kms over 9 years, single handed(only me). All service done via TATA ASC always.(Delhi, Hyderabad, Thrissur) Never received any dents or did any body repaint. Few scratches on the bumpers. changed tyres once at 70k kms, from Bridgestone to Yokohama, which made the ride smoo…
2024-12-12 Have covered ~3600KMs and no major problems faced yet. Car is still driving quite well and I still look forward to my daily drives. Noting down some issues I have been facing (OR continue to face): Setting changes do not stick for long. This one is an annoying niggle. Setting changes like "Car seat easy entry/exit off", Audio eq…
2024-03-20 Took my Safari for 2nd free servicing at Devki motors, Pune. They quoted the following AMC prices for the following scope: Further, they said that the AMC start date will be treated as the purchase date, no matter when you buy the AMC. If you buy later, and have already paid for some covered expenses, those will be lost. Firstly…

These are figures Tata Safari owners published themselves over roughly twenty years, normalised and checked for plausibility, alongside a priced parts catalogue. They are a guide to what others paid — not an audited price list, and not verified invoices. Each figure shows the number of owners behind it so you can weigh it yourself.
