MG Hector diesel service experience: Service made simple
Recently, we took the MG Hector diesel manual in for its 30,000 km service , a key milestone for a diesel SUV. This visit was a chance to see if MG's aftersales game still holds up as well as the Hector's road manners. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now From booking the appointment to driving out of the workshop, the process stayed smooth, transparent, and refreshingly free of gimmicks. To top it off, the service bill was surprisingly affordable for an SUV of this size and segment, making the overall experience even more satisfying. Here's how it all went down. Having visited a variety of service centres over the years, from to Mercedes-Benz , I was genuinely impressed by what I saw here. The offices and waiting lounge were top-class, while the service floor was immaculately maintained. Every car had its own dedicated technician and service advisor, and there was ample space for movement. The facility was airy, well-lit, and designed to help technicians spot even the smallest details during inspections. What stood out was how self-contained the setup was. The Mysore centre houses a built-in paint booth alongside the body shop, as well as a dedicated washing bay, meaning vehicles never need to leave the premises during the process. Technicians followed a proper dress code and adhered to all safety measures, including helmets, goggles, safety shoes, gloves, and face masks. The service advisor handling my Hector was knowledgeable and answered all my queries with ease. Now, onto the servicing itself. This was the fourth service for our Hector diesel, and the bill came to just Rs 10,065 to Rs 8,773 for parts and Rs 1,095 for labour. For a large diesel SUV, that's surprisingly affordable. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 30,000 km (fourth free) service included replacement of the fuel filter, engine oil filter, gasket, PM 2.5 cabin air filter, and engine oil (0W20 grade). The job also involved wheel alignment and balancing, applying calliper grease, replacing the weight sticker, and other minor checks. From start to finish, the process was smooth, transparent, and refreshingly free of unnecessary add-ons. With service quality like this and costs that don't break the bank, the MG Hector continues to prove itself as a solid choice in the segment, both on the road and in the service bay. Recently, as part of its 6th anniversary celebrations, MG Motor India announced limited-period price cuts on the Hector and Hector Plus SUVs. The extent of the reduction varies depending on the variant and model availability, with discounts going up to Rs 2.30 lakh. The car is powered by FCA's 2.0-litre Multijet diesel engine, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission. The gearbox offers smooth, precise shifts, complementing the engine's strong performance. Producing 170 bhp and 350 Nm of torque, the motor is free-revving and delivers ample power despite the vehicle's considerable weight. A strong low-end ensures easy drivability in both city traffic and on highways, while the wide torque band reduces the need for frequent gear changes. In fact, the engine is flexible enough to pull away from a standstill in second gear. On the highway, the engine's free-revving nature makes the car feel quick and responsive. In its BS6 iteration, refinement has improved noticeably, with additional noise insulation under the bonnet keeping vibrations and harshness in check. Efficiency is another strong point, during highway runs, we managed to extract an impressive 23.2 kmpl, which is remarkable for an SUV of this size.
