SHOCKING!! NHC crashes during routine service.

Had been to the Honda service camp held at a local garage today. While i was waiting for my turn, i heard this grating sound followed by a "Thud".

I jumped out of the car, ran in the direction from where the sound had come and i saw this............

The NHC which had been taken for service was being rasied up when suddenly the right arm of the lift collapsed. The sheer weight of the car made the arm fall all the way to the floor.

I couldn't believe my luck coz just a min ago i was insisting that the guy take my car for service but then, let the NHC go first as it had a minor oil chance job.

Had i not let go, i'd have pretty much ended up taking snaps of my car lying half dead on that machine.

For all those who say "never give up" think again. Giving up, saved my Vtec from this horrible disaster.

If it was a bigger car, it would have been a headache getting it down.

Ouch! thats bad..
P.S.- why is it so dirty from below¿

amit · 23rd December 2005, 21:13

I hope they don't "fix" up the car and sell it to some unsuspecting innocent buyer! And like vandan, even I am wondering, why does the underbody look so dirty and rusty?

general_neo · 23rd December 2005, 21:27

I would say its dirty underneath. A service will clear tat up...

But poor car... I dont know how much pain it wud have gone thru...

Rudra Sen · 23rd December 2005, 21:35

Shan, I know you mentioned local garage but is this a Honda service station? If so then how come they've two Marutis there...unless they belong to service team??

.anshuman · 23rd December 2005, 21:48

i would have killed everyone there if that would have been my car,lucky chaps anyway but OUCH for that NHC.lucky shantanu.

cnu · 23rd December 2005, 22:37

You were lucky Shantanu. Was it in B'lore ?

And if its a brand new car, then why could be an oil change necessary ? The bottom of the car gives a suspicion that it has run for a while.

revtech · 23rd December 2005, 22:40

man thats scary.shatanu your one lucky guy.why is the bottom so dirty, looks like its covered with rust.

Ouch... thts horrible and scary tooo... bwhat if there were folks underneath...

And yeah surely its your lucky day. btw, do you carry ur cam with u or are these cam-phone pics?

Hmm if this is really a rusty ( or is it the underbody-coating? ) car thats being given off to an unsuspecting customer, thts pretty sad.
