New Honda Dealership in Mumbai: Solitaire Honda at Borivali - Team-BHP

Dippy · 9th February 2009, 11:42

Honda has opened up a brand new dealership Solitaire Honda consisting of the showroom and workshop in Mumbai at Borivali in the suburbs, just off the Western Express Highway. I think thats a good thing for Honda owners from the suburbs like me. The Linkway at Goregaon on the highway has closed down so all cars go to their Chandivali workshop which is quite far.

I will be paying them a visit to see their facilities and might give them a try when my next service is due.

More dealers are always welcome; the more the competition, the better their service & deals. Let us know of your experience Dippy.

Interesting. Will check them out when it's time for my next OHC service.

So I finally got my OHC serviced at Solitaire Honda. It's located in Borivli East, about 2-5 minutes from the flyover which connects East and West. It was earlier a Shreenath Hyundai Dealership and Service center. Good riddance actually, since the Shreenath Hyundai service center had gone to the dogs. Had a great experience there yesterday and today.

My service advisor was a Mr. Rahul K. Nice chatty fellow in his 40s I suppose. Was explained everything they were going to do in their 50k service (My car has run 51k km). Wanted a few extra things done which were done at my own cost. There was some oil leakage which was checked and fixed. The usual oil+oil filter work was done. Surprisingly, they didn't find anything wrong with my suspension which has done around 51000km. There was also a certain squeaking sound between 1100-1500rpm which was checked and fixed.

I had asked for the timing and A/C belts to be replaced, but he called back and told me that neither of them needed replacement. Both of them were re-torqued and that seems to have fixed the A/C belt noise. A special pre-monsoon checkup was done, but I don't know what that included lol. Apart from that, today being World Environment Day, I got a complimentary PUC done at no cost. Lucky for me, since my PUC certificate had expired on the 1st June, unknown to me.

The place is very clean, the ambience is nice, and both the times I went, I was offered coffee/tea immediately. I was attended to in less than 10 minutes on the first day. Today, I was attended to immediately as I entered the svc. center.

The final bill (Rs 5.3k) was 2k above the estimated cost given to me yesterday, but I'll let that pass since there were a few things like the oil leak which both of us were unsure about and would have to wait for a final check from a mechanic.

Mentioned about T-BHP to him, but he wasn't aware of the community.

All in all, I'd recommend fellow T-BHPians around the Borivli area to check the place out. Haven't been to Linkway before so I cannot compare, but I had a very good experience here. Hopefully they stay true and give a good service; there's no reason why I'd get my important car work done anywhere else.

5/5 for the experience!
