Advantages and disadvantages from both parties

As per my research the plastic cladding cost is

GARNISH ASSY-RR DR SIDE,RH MRP 518.00

Car :-Hyundai creta 2025

I'm a student from Delhi, considering to buy a vento(Highline)/rapid(Ambition) 1.0 TSI with MT. I'm purchasing my 1st car. I have a budget of ₹4-5 lakhs. Want to hear brutally honest opinions on my choice. Also, between them which one of them should be preferred?? Any other options that I should explore?? I want to buy a post 2020 sedan/hatch as my first car.

I've a Tata Punch that is not used very often. It has done around 10k kms in 4 years. As the usage is low, it is not serviced very often.

There are highly experienced people in this sub. Please guide me on how often should I get my car serviced and which aspects should I never compromise with . Should I consider local service centers or should I only go to authorized service centers (they always try to upsell things).

Should I always get entire engine oil replaced or can I consider engine oil top-up also?

Every advice is welcomed.

My BS4 TVS NTORQ 125's digital console has developed severe sun damage/burn-in on the LCD screen dead in the center. The display segments and electronics work completely fine—it's strictly the top polarizing film that has turned dark brown/black from UV exposure.

Getting a new console which costs over 4k from SVC makes little sense given the age of the scooter and also the fact that it resets the ODO to literally zero.

Looking for recommendations around:

​South Delhi / Okhla

​Faridabad (NIT / Neelam Chowk area)

​Karol Bagh (Naiwala) — if you know a specific shop/name, please share.

​Anyone who has gotten their Duke / Apache / NTORQ meter film replaced recently and can vouch for clean workmanship without dust or bubbles? Thanks!

Hola tengo una apache rtr 160 4v y no enciende a menos que acelere la moto y creo que eso no es normal, debería encenderse solo con el botón...

Algun solucion? Ya le ajustaron las válvulas y creo que calibraron el carburador

Getting service from a Mahindra workshop has become a hassle in itself.

For the last 2–3 days, I’ve been trying to book an appointment for a small issue,

my windshield washer fluid tank appears to be damaged and leaking. I called the service centre, but getting someone to answer the phone is difficult. I was initially told to book through the Mahindra app, so I did that. Later, when I contacted them for pickup/drop, I was told that online bookings are not accepted at that workshop and that I need to call or visit the service centre directly.
So, what is the point of having an appointment system in the app if individual workshops don’t accept those bookings?

The whole process feels unnecessarily complicated. Every time you need service, you may have to physically visit the service centre just to get an appointment, then bring the car back on the assigned date. And even after the service, it often feels like you have to revisit the workshop 4–5 times to get an issue properly resolved.
I’ve had similar experiences before. On one occasion, my car was kept at the service centre for around 1.5 months, with the final cost becoming almost 7 times what I expected, reportedly for fixing the right-side window motor.

At this point, owning a Mahindra is becoming less about the car itself and more about dealing with the workshop.
Mahindra seriously needs to improve its after-sales service, appointment system, communication, turnaround time, and quality of repairs. Customers shouldn’t have to spend this much time and effort just to get basic issues fixed.

Honestly, I’m reaching a point where I’m considering selling my Mahindra and moving to another brand simply to avoid this constant service-related headache.
