COVID-19 Pandemic: Tata Motors Extends Warranty And Free Service Period For PV Customers

Tata Motors has announced that it has extended the warranty and free service period for its existing passenger vehicle customers. The move comes amidst the growing number of coronavirus cases that has warranted lockdowns and curfews in several parts of the county. Considering several customers won't be able to get their vehicle services due to restriction of movement, the carmaker has extended the deadline till June 30, 2021. So, all those customers, whose warranty and free service period (not kilometres) are due to expire between April 1 and May 31, 2021, will be able to avail the services till the end of June 2021.
