Ahead of the Gurkha’s launch on September 27, Force Motors has officially divulged the upcoming off-roader’s after-sales plans, including periodic maintenance, roadside assistance, and warranty programs. In this report, we explain all of them in detail. 

Periodic Maintenance 

The Gurkha’s first four periodic maintenance services will be done free of cost. It will follow the intervals mentioned below:

After the last free service, the off-roader’s paid maintenance is scheduled every 10,000 km or 120 days (whichever comes first). 

The SUV’s engine oil needs to be replaced first at 10,000km or 150 days, post which it needs to be changed every 20,000kms or 240 days.
