Maintenance & Repairs : Bosch Car Care Centre (Vadapalani, Chennai)

I got the Punto's rear bumper and one the Q panels painted here and the bill was a staggering 6k after negotiations.

Though the color match was perfect, I would not be visiting them again. Asked a quote for just repainting the hatch door and he quoted 3.5k, which is again a bit over the roof.

The quote seems way too high. Did you enquire with the RDC? Have they started doing body works too?

I have dropped the idea. RDCs body shop is still in progress and am waiting for it because they are to fix the dents they made on my car.

I have been trying to write a review of this place, but lack of time I will just share these pictures. Paint job done on my ten yr old car.
Results are very nice. Work flow was organized.
I will soon write a detailed review of how the whole job was carried out and daily progress with photos.
The price is not negotiable. They have a set price for everything, not a road side mechanic but a proper service center.

Faded front bonnet


Battered body

^ Nope. They don't have a price chart. The person says the quote only after seeing the car and the customer.

Sai colorium displays the price list openly so that customers can see it and take a call.

And yes sir, we know it is not a roadside shop and so are all other shops in comparison.

I have once enquired for fixing up small dents and scratches in my Figo. A scratch cum dent of 2 inch length at rear door + a dent on rear quater panel + few scratches at bumper. The guy quoted me a whooping 12k, saying he needs to paint the whole door + the rear quarter panel.

So just dropped the plan of Bosch for this work. The same day i went for exterior foam wash, they charged me 500/-. I thought its way too high for this garage.

Now im sticking on 3M. I personally find its working out well for me in terms of pricing / professionalism / ambience.

Any recent feedback experiences with Bosch car-care vadapalani for painting/tinkering job?

Looking for a garage either close to T.nagar or Kandanchavady, OMR. I feel CARS india Kottivakkam quote is very high and looking for independent garages for the job. Thanks!
