At present, the business has about 1240 service workshops, each in a radius of 65 km.  The business will also beef up the service infrastructure for its Ace and Magic family of vehicles, by setting up new and upgrading all existing service points into 2-bay workshops known as Tata Authorised Service Point, to facilitate further penetration of the range in the interiors.

Road-side assistance

Tata Alert, a road-side assistance programme for the full range of Tata Motors commercial vehicles is also among the plans, to be implemented by 2012. Over the coming months, customers will also have facilities, like the Tata Easypay Card, to ease payments at any authorised service workshop, and extended warranties with options as per customer needs.

The company already provides 24x7 Assistance on any sales/service/product issues and spares parts availability across the country, through Tata Connect. Customer facilities already include Annual Maintenance Contract for customer desired periods (kilometres/hours) at pre-determined prices, reconditioned aggregates on an exchange
basis to reduce vehicle downtime, fleet maintenance, on-site service support, Tata Genuine spare parts and Tata Delight, a customer loyalty programme for owners of its commercial vehicles.
