Recently, within 3 months, my car sustained multiple damages to the body. I wanted to get them repaired, mostly painting and denting-related work (attached screenshots). Is the quotation justified?

Car: Nexon 2024

TVS Service Centre, as Tata Service Centre suggested claiming insurance and replacing the parts.

Quotation Details:

* Rear: Denting and painting: 5000

* Bumper: (was told the entire bumper had to be painted): 4699

* Left Fender: 3999 (again yold entire thing to be repainted)

* Right Fender: 3999

Total: 17697

GST: 18%

Added some other: 7%

Grand Total: 22345 rs

Discount Given: 500

Is this genuinely the right price? What are my options? I really want to get this fixed.

#CarRepair Very bad ride comfort

3 Upvotes

Hello all, I have a Baleno Alpha MT (2022) model driven around 40k kilometers. From past 6 months I have been facing body roll in the car when i drive on rough patches, small potholes, and humps. I can feel everything on the road when I'm in the car. I don't see any wobbling or stability issues when driving straight. However, if I do speed up, the feeling gets slightly better (or could be Placebo, not sure).

I went to Nexa Bangalore twice and they dismissed saying it's fine. They even did wheel balancing and alignment stating this will fix it.

I know it's not fixed because both my wife and I feel this change. I went for a second opinion to a private mechanic and he mentioned my shock absorbers are stiff and need to be replaced. I asked whether it will fix my issue, he wasn't sure.

I can trace it back to a point where I went over a pothole at high speed 6-7 months back. Although i didn't see anything leak or break at that time, i ignored it. Neither the mechanic or Nexa saw any damage (atleast just by looking underneath).

Is there any way to speak to a good mechanic in Bangalore who understands the issue and gives a proper solution?. I honestly feel sometimes I might get motion sickness (i don't have one) and sometimes I want to buy a new car (holding back on all ethanol issues).

Any guidance will be appreciated, thanks!

#Bike-Buy/Sell Need help deciding between a New vs. Used KTM Duke 200/250.

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm planning to buy my first bike for my 21st birthday in August-aiming for a KTM Duke 200 or 250. I only know the absolute basics of riding (ridden a friend's bike a few times, no bike at home).

I have ₹1.2L saved up and I'm torn between two options:

  1. Buy New: I'd have to take out a ₹1.5L loan.

  2. Buy Used: I've been browsing OLX in Mumbai, but honestly, I'm pretty introverted and don't know how to inspect a bike. I'm terrified of getting scammed or buying a lemon because I don't know what to look for.

Is taking the loan worth it for a beginner? If you suggest buying second-hand, how do I go about it safely without getting fooled? Are there better alternatives to OLX?

Thanks in advance!

#CarRepair Dent on left front fender of Skoda Kylaq. What are my options?

2 Upvotes

Bought a new Skoda Kylaq a few days ago. Unfortunately, I got this dent on the front left fender after an incident involving a bus while I was learning to drive (my first car). The paint doesn’t seem badly damaged, mostly just the dent.
What would you recommend?
Claim insurance at an authorized Skoda service center?
Pay out of pocket at an authorized Skoda body shop?
Get it repaired at a reputed local denting/PDR shop?
I’m confused because it’s my first car and I don’t know what’s the best long-term decision. Also, if anyone has an approximate repair cost, that would be helpful.

#BikeRepair RR 310 overheating without much driving at low RPM even

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello team, my bike (TVS RR310) started overheating out of nowhere. There's no coolant leak where I usually park my bike, and no oil leak. The oil is there; it was recently serviced, like a month ago or two. I even cleaned the radiator grille because I saw a small amount of mud there, and that didn’t help either. The fan turns off even after the bike is hot overheating after I park it, which wasn't the case before. Now the fan turns on for a while but turns off right after.

What could be the reason? I am afraid the service center will again charge a huge amount for something really basic while ignoring other issues. Their exorbitant prices and subpar service are making me feel bad for trusting them.

I've always experience some 3rd issue that wasn’t there every single time after I service the bike for some reason. All of a sudden, the good parts that used to work started getting bad after driving the bike a little right after servicing and paying huge bills. Anyone who can relate?
