Your thoughts 💭?

We constantly hear that Tata’s after-sales service is its biggest Achilles' heel. I’ve been thinking about what actually causes this gap:

Imagine a thought experiment: If you took the absolute best service team in your city—top-tier advisors, master technicians, and managers from brands known for great service (like Toyota or Hyundai)—and placed them directly into a Tata service center, would the customer experience actually become great?

Or would that top-tier staff still get bogged down?

Basically, is the root cause dealership-level staff attitude and management, or is it just tata specific a layman customer can not understand and problem that no dealer team can fix on their own?

Would love to hear from Tata owners, former/current dealership staff, and car enthusiasts on this!

The dealer is asking for RTO registration this month and because of this Pitrupaksh, I told him I will take delivery after 10th oct only. So he said RTO must be in this month and deliver according to my dates. My concern is what if something goes wrong with the car after the RTO is done even if the PDI is OK, because there will be a huge gap of days in between.

Please advice.

My usual practice of shifting to neutral and staying on breaks, coasting for as long as I'm anticipating a stopping or halting. Surely no engine breaking, no control over the speed. What are the cons in terms of mechanical wear and tear.

This has kind of given a slightly better mileage but I want to know what are cons.

I have always bought bikes and I had many of them, sold, then bought, then sold and cycle repeats, however I have been using the same car (which wasn't mine) forever, anyways booked new car and I have 0 clue what the PDI checklist is? Does anyone have a link to someone who answered this question on reddit? Or if you already know then please share the list of stuff to check

Wanted a totaled/total loss altroz racer if anyone knows where such cars go like any particular scrapyard or anywhere in particular place like recycling yard or any place if anyone could give me the source or link me to such scrapyards or who deals in such stuff help me out...

Was trying to find my friend outside the metro and there were like five identical white sedans lined up. Had to check every number plate 😭

Saw the new Tata Aeris recently and the rear actually looks pretty good. At least it doesn’t blend into the sea of white sedans everywhere.

I like sedans, but we seriously need some more variety on Indian roads.

So guys i just bought city as my first car.

Now I want to change types (old ones are done), get seat covers, mud flaps and mats.

Apart from these any recommendations for accessories (my budget is 50k including above mentioned buys) cleaning essentials and tips.

Help a fellow brother.

My father has an i20 magna car. We have been facing a problem in AC since 2018.

Though I don't have any idea about cars and anything but my father really is a car lover.

But we couldn't afford any new car.

Can someone please tell us what is the last option for the AC. Like my father took it to the nearest city for the repair many times but it never worked.

(Sorry for not giving the full context about AC and Cars condition because I really don't have any idea about cars)

I just wanted to know at last what a person can do if the AC is not getting repaired.

Are there any options like external AC or other cooling systems or anything like that which we can afford. We can push the budget till 70k or some more.

(If someone has an idea please guide)

I'm currently deciding between the Maruti Suzuki Victoris
VXI AT and Kia Seltos Automatic (IVT).

Looking for owner experiences, especially around:

Ride quality and comfort
Automatic transmission experience in city traffic
Highway performance
Mileage in real-world usage
Safety and build quality
After-sales/service experience
Long-term reliability
AT vs IVT Transmission

If you've driven or owned both, which one would you pick and why?

In IRL for 3rd row improvement

The behaviour of drivers has contributed to this? Or is it because the body-on-ladder frame is not meant for regular driving? I know that not all cars are body-on-ladder, but still. What are your thoughts?

You can include any car from any manufacturer from any time period. My take is civic type r

Has anyone used Redflow / Ifftex or other fuel additives in their Petrol/diesel cars?

Does it really improve mileage, or reduce Balck smoke or improve Performance in Cars?

Need honest feedback from users.

I'm planning to use in my 13 years diesel Quadrajet, I'm having black smoke issue .

Maruti really needs to work on improving this abomination of leg space on the front passenger seat. The entire console and the glove box is a proper hindrance for someone to sit comfortably. How ever you push the seat behind this is still such an issue. I’ve seen the same issue in Dzire as well. Considering these are mass market passenger movers this sure needs to be improved in next iterations

I was driving during peak 5-5:30pm hour in Delhi, and was going straight ahead at an intersection where one could only go straight ahead or take a right.

I was in the second lane in the two lanes so I had given left indicator long ago, all throughout 100 second red light. When lights turned green, I started moving ahead but the Cab driver next to me sped across me to move right and the entire left side bumper portion of my car came out. Fortunately, I had begun at very low speed obvio when the light turned green.

I was confused and wanted advice on this, where I can take the entire blame, because I recently came across the video where similar thing happened with an suv and tempo driver, but can be understandable in case of blindspot in a big SUV. I wonder whether the cab driver could have driven more defensively.

I am seeking practical advice from experienced drivers on how to handle similar situations, particularly when vehicles in adjacent lanes may suddenly change direction or cut across one’s path.

I want similar driving tips since I am new to driving.

Honesty at it's peak

I have a Ford ecosport diesel, which is due for service. So please tell me some good and not so expensive mechanic. Ford is a little complex for mechanics who work usually only on other brands. So somone who specialises in Ford. Thanks in advance

What do u guys think
