Saw your other post about pricing at Madhus being non-competitive, I have heard about that before, not sure why. OT: BTW where in E-City - myself too :-) | |

| ![]() Picked up new Allen Key nuts from this place the other day. Unfortunately one of the nuts had gone missing and i had to pick up the entire set. He charged me Rs. 1800/- for set of 16 and claimed these to be of the highest quality. Now i know that these nuts are retailed for lesser price in other stores. So did i get ripped off? or was i foolish enough to buy them? I tend not to ponder on this anymore, I may not revisit this place again in the future. Unless of course i've done my thorough homework |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Looking for tyre upgrade for Cruze. Is Sai Iyengar the right place? If I need wider tyres (OE is 205 x 55 R16) whats a good choice? |

They do a proper wheel balancing job - my A.S.S. (ASC/India Garage) had completely goofed up (even though I complained and they tried twice). I am pretty happy with their wheel alignment too, though I always cross-check the values with OEM spec. Heck, the new Lancer A.S.S. (SVR motors) had all wrong readings for the Indian Lancer , and were merrily aligning as per that. I stopped them, and got it done at Sai. Moral of the story : Always, check the toe alignment values, and always ask for printout so you can confirm later (I have had ASC claim they did alignment when it wasn't spot on, so I learnt to always ask for printout). I should mention that there was a time 18-24 months back when the floor of their alignment area had some levelling issues. At that time, the alignment was iffy (or even a misnomer). Ashwin himself told me that he is getting the floor relaid to fix this, and gave me a free alignment once it was done. Quote:

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Have been a regular with Ashwin as i have been knowing him for many years now. Never has he pushed me up the order just because am one of his friends and neither any rebates. Bought my set of tires from him last year Michelin XM1+ 185/70R13. Prices offered were quite aggressive and did the wheel alignment/balancing & nitrogen fill up free of cost. Since am a regular at his shop he does top up nitrogen as a Value Add. And yes we both share a common passion towards RD 350's. |

| ![]() I upgraded my Safari tyres to BFG here. The price quoted was good (but not as aggressive as other brands) He offered wheel balancing alignment and nitrogen filling free of cost. Overall I am happy with the service offered and may go back there in the future |

| ![]() I just came back from the Lalbagh Road branch. They are offering me a very good deal on Yoko A-Drives as well as buyback of my Beat's JK Vectras. The only thing I am concerned about is the location, size & quality of the shop. Its on the main road and I didnt see an service bays. When I asked the guy (I forgot to ask his name) about where the tyre change/balancing etc happens, he simply said he will get it done, no worries! Is it worth making a trip to the Indiranagar/Bannerghatta Road branch instead of this one or am I being overly apprehensive about the place since they are offering a 'too good to be true' deal!. I need to go tomorrow to get my tyres changed as every extra km clocked on my Vectras is every rupee less in buyback. |

Upgraded my tyres from Sai Iyengar, Bannerghatta Road branch. Overall good customer experience except for one hiccup where a wrong tyre had been fitted to my Beat and I had driven off for a few kms and also that I had to wait for the tyres being delivered from their warehouse. Would recommend this place for its competitive prices. I got Yoko A-Drives 175/65-R14 for 4k a pop. Buyback on my 2.8k used JK Vectras were 1950 a pop. Best Deal I could find in over 10 tyre shops. So overall impressed. Last edited by superutp : 10th April 2012 at 19:39. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Great experience here, saw another bhpian ride but the owner was not present. Charged 250 bucks for alignment, pretty decent folks. |
