| ![]() If I am a cab owner, I will not take my car to a dealership. That is not a economical way of maintenance unless the issue is too complicated to be fixed by a non-dealer. Having said that how many cab owners take their cars to dealerships? |

| ![]() I've seen plenty of cabs at the Tata dealer service station and thinking about it, I understand why a cabbie might choose the authorised place over a small local mechanic. The reasons, I think, are turn around time and better reliability - a cabbie who needs to repay the loan on his car and make a decent living needs to ensure that his cab's downtime is minimal. An authorised service centre will have the tools, training and parts to ensure the fastest possible turn around. A lot of cabbies are intelligent enough to understand the long-term benefits of running a cab in good condition: higher income from more time on the road, fewer breakdowns and higher resale value. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Tata Motors beat off the likes of Honda Cars India, Toyota Kirloskar Motor & a resurgent Renault India to finish at Number 4 in the list of top 10 passenger car sellers for 2016 (calendar year). However, Renault India scored the biggest Y-O-Y (Year on Year) growth at a whopping 146%, while Honda Cars India was the biggest Y-O-Y loser, with a drop in overall sales numbers by 23%. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() 2017 might prove to be a turnaround year for Tata Motors, as it prepares to drive in several new launches in it's quest to replace Mahindra & Mahindra from the number 3 spot in overall sales in India. Two of those are all set to be rolled out very soon - the Tiago AMT and the Kite5 sedan. The compact SUV challenger from the Tata stable, the Nexon, is expected to come before the festive season.
