Quick answer: what a monsoon checkup covers

Wipers and washers, tyre tread and pressure, brakes, every exterior light, battery and charging condition, visible wiring, and the A/C — which is what actually clears a fogged windscreen. The free 30-point A/C and electrical checkup covers the A/C and electrical half with a written report. Anything else found is quoted before it is done. Call +91 8428000085.

Why the A/C matters most in the rain

Most drivers think of the A/C as a hot-weather system, so it is the one thing nobody checks before the monsoon. It is also the only thing that clears a windscreen fogged from the inside — the A/C dehumidifies the air, and the demister blows that dried air at the glass. A car with weak cooling and a blocked cabin filter will fog up in heavy rain and stay fogged.

A blocked evaporator drain is the other monsoon classic: water that cannot escape ends up in the passenger footwell, and the damp carpet is usually blamed on a door seal for months before anyone checks the drain.

The monsoon list

Wipers and washers

Blade condition, smearing, washer spray and fluid level. The cheapest safety item on the car and the most ignored.

Tyres

Tread depth, pressure and visible damage. Worn tread is what turns standing water into a skid.

Brakes

Visual inspection, pad condition and fluid level. Wet roads lengthen every stop.

Lights and horn

Headlamps, tail lamps, brake lights, indicators and hazards. Being seen matters more than seeing.

Battery and charging

Resting and cranking voltage, terminals, alternator output. Wipers, lights and blower all running at once is the heaviest load of the year.

A/C, demister and drain

Cooling performance, cabin filter, blower on all speeds and a clear evaporator drain.

Booking and price

The 30-point A/C and electrical checkup is free, with a written report. If the car is also due its service, a petrol general service is ₹4,499 and diesel ₹5,699 — price varies with the quantity and brand of oil your car needs. Wipers, tyres, brake parts and anything else the inspection turns up are quoted separately and only done once you approve.

Free pick-up and drop anywhere in Chennai, on confirmed bookings, subject to slot availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before the rain starts rather than after. Chennai gets the north-east monsoon from around October, so September and early October are the sensible window. Booking early also matters because free checkup slots are limited each day and demand rises sharply once the rain arrives.

Warm damp air inside the cabin meets cold glass. The A/C is what fixes it, because it dries the air before the demister blows it at the windscreen. If your A/C cools weakly or the cabin filter is blocked, the glass will fog and stay fogged. This is why the A/C is part of a monsoon check and not just a summer concern.

Most often a blocked evaporator drain, not a leaking door seal. The A/C produces condensation that normally drains out under the car. When the drain blocks, that water backs up into the footwell. It is checked as part of the 30-point inspection.

The 30-point A/C and electrical inspection is free and standalone, with a written report and no obligation to repair. Replacement parts such as wipers, tyres or brake pads, and any repair work, are quoted separately and only carried out after you approve the estimate.
