Need a decent suspension guy in/near NOIDA

[tsk1979]

My indica's suspension is aging, and replacement of both front springs+dampers is needed. Maybe even new struts. Apart from that the tie rods also appear to be gone.
I need some good workshop who can check the suspension and replace whats necessary. No TASS please, only independent workshop. TASS guys don't allow you near the vehicle, I guess the reason is that they don't want you to catch them overcharging etc.,
It need not be a very good workshop, I am not going for race spec suspension tuning, just simple damper/spring replacement, so any average guy is fine. All I want is that dude must know what he's doing and what all needs replacement.
Right now I have shortlisted a small workshop in sector 16 which on last instance of my passing by had 2 Sumo's and 3 indica's and a gypsy jacked up. This is a suspension only workshop, and I guess will be okay.
If any of you are aware of anybody better, it will be great.
The farthest I am willing to go is till khan market, but ideally would prefer somebody in Noida/South Delhi.

Pandit & Co Okhla...!!
The same place where Ishan got his Dhanno's suspension work done..!
But i'm not sure if they do work on TATA's...

If you want you could go to the same guy my car goes to: Pandit & Co. located at 53, Okhla PhIII (Modi Flour Mill) but not sure whether he'll be cost-efficient for an Indica.

Why don't you meet him once, let him TD the car & give you an estimate?

[tsk1979]

What are the labour charges he charged for your suspension work. As for shocks and stuff, I guess it will be marked price, the killer is the labour.
since its not a TASS, they wont charge more than market price for parts(I hope)

Spares for Honda (genuine) are usually priced at around 30-40% cheaper than Honda service centres so he will be cheaper certainly. About the Labour I'll dig up my bill & tell you since I gotta update my thread too.

Best would be to ask him directly what Labour he'll charge, he'll able to give you a correct estimate depending on the work required.

Thanks Spark, can you list the details on how do I find him. Do not want to go to the big guys yet, a seasoned expert will be good.

@TSk1979 I had tried AutoEngineers for Suspension work on my old Zen (now sold), they did a decent job ... bill came to around Rs 3K including parts and labour ... but this was sometime back (around 2 yrs), all parts sourced from Vipul Motors to ensure that they were MGP ...

[dj_2006]

@TSk1979 I forgot to mention AutoEngineers is in sector - 16 auto market only ...

[tsk1979]

dj, now you have my attention, any directions please, are they a big workshop. I am scared of the big setups there, they try to make a lot of money.
As far as my suspension setup is concerned, you can make a lot of money if you want. Thats why I want to go to a honest fellow.

@tsk1979

Directions (already sent by PM) ... no not at all a big workshop ... he is in bussiness because charges are reasonable and people keep going there again and again ... I got all my Zen(carb bought 2nd hand) repairs done from him for a period of 3 years

[tsk1979]

I saw auto engineers, but suspension work done from Reyaz, a report will follow soon!
