Money making racket!

My switch from the passenger's side stoped working, hence I went to the station, but to my surprise they told me that I had to change the whole panel which is 3000rs for one switch that does not work. Please provide child parts for this problem, it just show way Honda trys to make money on something so small. That would cost me 500rs, they are charging me 3000rs to change the whole panel which in no way is damaged for me to change. A simple switch change, is costing me the whole panel I find this ridiculous.

More Expert Reviews on Brio and A-Star

Honda Brio facelift First Drive

By Ninad Ambre05 Oct 2016

A new face for the Brio that was launched in India in September 2011. This model has undergone subtle changes across exteriors and interiors, which are in line with the update given to its Indonesian model. The 2016 Brio's fascia is now enriched with a bigger grille that gets a black accent and a thick chrome strip.

Altomatic

By CarWale Team12 Aug 2010

On seeing the A-Star, the first thing comes in my mind is the Alto. Yes, Suzuki sells the A-Star as the Alto in other European markets. I had got a chance to spend some time (years ago, sometime in 2004) with one of the Suzuki Alto’s which were ready to ship to Europe. The Alto was a left-hand drive, powered by a turbocharged petrol engine, with ABS and airbags as a standard feature (as it was made mandatory features by EuroNCAP for any new European car)
