| ![]() Hi, I know I'm not allowed to post here, but your experience warrants a different thread The Mysore stores are run by my uncles and while we share the common name, the ownership, management, everything is different. |

| ![]() After reading about Nikhil and his Madhus Enterprises for almost 4 years, I finally made up my mind to visit them for the first time for the wheel alignment and balancing. Also an upcoming long drive necessitated the overall wheels health checkup. I had called them in the afternoon about the closing time (which is 7 pm) and assuming that I would face a moderate traffic enroute, I started from whitefield at 4.45 pm. With as many shortcuts possible, I was able to reach their stores only at 6.55 pm. They were kind enough to take my car for the wheel alignment and it was completed under 5 minutes. The wheel balancing took another 15 minutes since they were occupied with some other cars. Overall a professional job and the team knew their job well. ![]() Noticed that they have the facility for AC gas filling at INR 1000 but they said that they had no way of checking what is the AC gas level in the car before filling. Since it was closing time could not discuss more in detail about it. The stress of driving all the way instantly vanished on seeing a Porsche 911 Carrerra at Madhus' parked at Madhus and was being attended to for some wheel related activity. Was too distracted by the Porsche to watch the process of the wheel balancing. |

| ![]() I plan on going here tomorrow morning for wheel alignment and balancing all the way from Hoodi. Hopefully I have a good experience ![]() I plan to change the car wipers. Is there any store near Madhus? Even better, do they sell those? |

I have been a regular visitor at Madhus near Double Road Bangalore every time my car clocks 5K KM, for regular wheel alignment and balancing. Travel all the way from Whitefield and get it done by their experts. They do a nice job and its done in front of your eyes. It ensures a very trouble free ride for another 5K Kms and also takes care of the uneven tire wear and tear. Last few times, have been doing the Road Force Balancing they are having. | ||

Their name board suggests that they do Emission Testing but they don't do it. Perhaps can be removed Last edited by rohanak1 : 31st May 2016 at 16:03. | |

| ![]() I am planning to change tyres for my Swift Vxi with XM2 185/70/R14. Had a quick call to Madhu's, price quoted was Rs 4850, but alignment and balancing would be charged extra. Isn't alignment and balancing taken care when one is replacing all tyres? What is general trend in Bangalore? |

In fact, most of them will also mention charges for Valves for new tires. You would notice that most often, when you do the math and add individual charges, they add up to almost the same as the bundled price. | ||

| ![]() Just got back from Madhus got the 4 tyres changed on my car. The service was quick and professional. They gave a 10% discount as i am a teambhp member. Did wheel alignment and balancing, also got the valves changed. Overall experience was pretty good worth the drive from HSR to there to get the job done satisfactorily. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I had to change the tyres on my Manza EX Qjet, it had been running on stock Bridgestone tyres for about 55K kms now. I had a quick chat with Nikhil and took his suggestions. I had Bridgestone, Michelin and Yoko in mind. Went ahead with Yokohama Earth 1 as the reviews were good and also they were lighter on the pocket. W/A and W/B completed, there was a slight hiccup with the Wheel Balancing machine. The machine kept showing 0g for every tyre, no display of OK or any weights. The technician and I found it strange and switched to the alternate one and voila it worked as expected. Thanks to Nikhil for the pre-arrangements. Got a good discount on account of T-BHP. Best Regards, Rajiv |
