Beware about maintenance costs

Beware about maintenance cost, I have driven the Ameo for 43,000 km now. The normal maintenance of 15000 km costs in the range of Rs 12 to 13k. Apart from that, the steering rack of my car required a change at40,000 km costing me a total maintenance cost of Rs 48,000/=. The dealer promised it on prorata warranty replacement but later denied warranty. Beware of navi mumbai dealer AutoBhan.

Mini BMW

Buying experience is good, staff cooperates and is polite Driving experience is just amazing like bmw, audi Looks like some Italian car, performance is great as it comes with turbocharged engine. Servicing and Maintenance won't attack on your wallet. Only Cons is it's mileage.

Tata Zest Long Term Report II

By Ninad Ambre30 Jun 2015

You never know when it’s going to rain especially when it comes to the Mumbai monsoons and you don’t stand a chance when the downpour begins. It was about that time of the year again and after the horrendous summer, I was elated having the Zest to save me from the first rains. As the showers tried to cool down the baked crust in vain, I was happily weaving through the city traffic in the compact sedan from my home in a Mumbai suburb to the new Bombay, ohhh, Navi Mumbai!
