Thanks for the lead Sudipto!
I got in touch with
Kishor Transport via Concorde Motors. They seem to be a pretty big player in the automotive logistics business and have contracts with Tata for their Pune and Jamshetpur plants. They also have tie ups with Maruti and Hyundai for transporting cars.
They are ready to drop the car from Bangalore to where-ever is the closest point for me to drive from for
8000 bucks and optional transport insurance.
They will use proper car carriers, not a generic truck or trailer - basically the same stuff they haul brand new cars in.
Seems like a
good deal to me!
I first have to renew the insurance for my car, then I can send it off. I plan to visit their facility once before finalizing a deal with them, just to be sure.
I'm also going to talk to the Mahindra folks to see what infrastructure they have in the meanwhile. I suspect it might be the same company...their site says they work for Mahindra too!
I will
update this thread as I make any progress. Keep the
suggestions coming! Especially if there are any specific practices of these companies, specific questions I should ask, any safety tips, etc, do let me know.
