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.

Gear Box Failure

Good Exterior. Good Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I have a Toyota Etios 2017 model which has done 12000 KMS, All service and minor repairs done at GLobe services only. Worst  Gearbox, Ran down after 12k Km, toyota is having car from 16/07/2017 and they are just forwading dates and issue not resolved yet. Bought car from Globe Toyota, Mohali. Whenever we are going there they are just forwarding thye dates and nothing is being resolved. Only 3 months have passed till car has been bought such bad experience from Toyota will not recomend it to anyone. This car is being used for corporate use and these faults are leading to losses for person is earning on its behalf. Recommend not to buy etios fro Toyota as it is worst vehicle to buy and to spend money on it. Bad Ride Quality & Handling Service is worst. Service associates do not have manners to talk and they are treating as if car has been bought free from them.Inside spaceBad Service , Gear box broken

Toyota Etios facelift

By Sagar Bhanushali28 Dec 2014

Just as Mercedes-Benz is considered synonymous with luxury and BMW with sportiness, Toyota has established itself as a byword for quality and reliability. For years the Japanese automaker has churned out a range of well put together cars. Get behind the wheel of one and straightaway you’d be under an impression that it’s a thing that will probably last forever.
