The engine oil and air filter is easy, axia engine bay is quite spacious compared to the engine. I want to knw about the gearbox oil too . Mine is a manual, whn I look at the gearbox thr seems to be two bolts tht look like the drain and fill, but thy are so close to eachother .

Ofcourse , otherwise ppl wont be going to service centre . Depends on luck too . If unlucky lots if things in car goes wrong . Axia known to have air con compressor problems . My rear bearing got changed after 100k mileage . I guess if you want to take the risk, better stop going to service centre frm the start . If halfway the savings might not be much. But things like bearing I guess you can still argue , cos its not related to normal service parts during routine maintenance . But if things like water pump goes bad , thy can deny warranty cos you have changed the coolant at 3rd party workshops

You have to check the parts under warranty , after 3 years not everything is under warranty . My seat belt buckle is rattling and making noise . The seat belt is in the list but the buckle is not so its not covered . Axia the warranty is for 5 years or 150k but after 3 years only major parts are under warranty .

I feel if you want to get into diy your own cars, axia is a good choice for a modern car . Its small and not so complicated .
