Does the Jeeto Plus really have as low a maintenance cost as Mahindra claims?
27 December 2024 09:34
Hence, when it comes to maintaining the Jeeto Plus, I have not really faced any costs similar to that. I've had mine for 18 months or so and apart from the usual services I've had no major problems. Service intervals are longer than my old mini truck and this helps with the cost. It's not as low as Mahindra claims, but it's certainly on the low side for vehicles in this segment.

The maintenance costs have been hit or miss. Routine services are cheap, but I have had one or two repairs that put me out a great deal of money. In smaller towns however, this can lead to longer downtimes due to the availability of spare parts. It’s easy to forget about until something goes wrong and then it can get expensive.

I can say as a fleet operator that the Jeeto Plus has been surprisingly economical to maintain. The trick is to follow the service schedule religiously. I’ve seen that vehicles that skip services tend to have more problems. Proper maintenance, and it really does live up to the low maintenance cost claim.

I believe it’s more of a marketing hype to call it low maintenance. It's not outrageously expensive to maintain, but it's not any cheaper than other mini trucks I've owned. Rather, the real advantage is in fuel efficiency, not maintenance costs. Of course, it’s still a cheap car to keep on the road.

I haven't been surprised at all by the maintenance cost. The Jeeto Plus feels much more modern and reliable, than what I am used to coming from an older Tata Ace. After the first year of ownership, I haven’t had any major issues. A big plus with the longer service intervals is reduced downtime. I can’t vouch for the exact 22 paise per km claim, but at the very least, I’m feeling like I’m spending less on maintenance in total.
Is the Mahindra Jeeto really a ‘mini truck for winners’ or just overhyped marketing?
27 December 2024 09:25
I’ve been driving a Jeeto for more than a year now and to be honest it’s been a mixed bag. I’ll say the mileage is pretty sweet. Man, the breakdowns are a real pain though. Every time I load it up for a long haul, it’s like playing Russian roulette.

I don't think it's overhyped by any means. It’s been a godsend for small business owners like me. It's not perfect, sure, but show me a vehicle that is. It has minimal issues, and the payload capacity is spot on to my needs. Maybe I just got lucky?

Winners? If you ask me, it's more of a "mini truck for constant repairs." Honestly, I’ve spent more time in the service center than I have actually using it for my business. For heavy loads, the single cylinder engine just won't do. Don't save your money on something that will not stand the test of time.

People think too much of a mini budget truck. The Jeeto is decent value for what it costs. It’s not going to be winning any races or hauling massive loads, but for city deliveries and small businesses, it’ll do the trick. Folks, you gotta manage your expectations.

Mahindra’s after sales service is the real issue here. The truck itself isn’t bad, but if something goes wrong, good luck getting it fixed quickly. Half the complaints would disappear overnight if they could improve their service network and spare parts availability.
Does the Mahindra Jeeto’s CNG variant make sense for urban delivery businesses?
27 December 2024 09:25
Last year, I switched to the Jeeto CNG for my small delivery business and it has been a game changer. No joke, I’m spending much less on CNG than I ever did on diesel. Also, I feel good about polluting less.
Does the Mahindra Jeeto’s CNG variant make sense for urban delivery businesses?
27 December 2024 09:25
On paper, CNG sounds great, but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Long routes have been nightmares finding CNG stations. And sometimes I spend more time and money trying to refuel than I save in fuel costs. Unless you're only doing short city runs, it's just not practical.
Does the Mahindra Jeeto’s CNG variant make sense for urban delivery businesses?
27 December 2024 09:25
This is a real power issue, folks. My Jeeto CNG struggles when fully loaded on inclines. It works fine for flat city roads, but if your routes include any hills or highways you should consider diesel.
Does the Mahindra Jeeto’s CNG variant make sense for urban delivery businesses?
27 December 2024 09:25
It really depends I think on your use case. It's perfect for my vegetable delivery business within the city. It has low running costs, enough power for my needs and I never have problems finding CNG stations. I can imagine it not working for everyone, but I can see how it might.

27 December 2024 09:25
It’s a big hurdle in terms of cost. There’s no doubt saving in the long run, but it’s a big upfront investment and small businesses have a hard time swallowing it. If they really want to push CNG variant, Mahindra should offer better financing options.
Is 700-815 kg of payload capacity enough for most small businesses?
27 December 2024 09:25
The Jeeto's payload is spot on for my courier service. I only have to carry less than 700 kg and the compact size makes it a breeze to manoeuvre in tight city streets. It’s just a matter of getting the right balance for your specific needs.
Is 700-815 kg of payload capacity enough for most small businesses?
27 December 2024 09:25
I find the payload limiting. It’s fine most days, but there are times when I need to carry more and I end up making two trips instead of one. That extra 100 – 200 kg capacity would make the world of difference.
Is 700-815 kg of payload capacity enough for most small businesses?
27 December 2024 09:25
Let’s be real, you shouldn’t be looking at a mini truck if you need to carry more than 800 kg on a regular basis. This is the sweet spot for small businesses. It's not some heavy duty hauler.
Is 700-815 kg of payload capacity enough for most small businesses?
27 December 2024 09:25
I guess the payload is not really a problem but the problem is how the truck behaves when it's loaded. At max capacity mine feels a bit unstable and underpowered. I'd much rather have a slightly lower payload and better performance.

27 December 2024 09:25
Being one who swapped from a larger truck to the Jeeto, I actually like the payload limit. This makes me more efficient with my loads and has ultimately helped me squeeze the best out of my business operations. There are times when limitations are a good thing.
