Hello all,
Longtime reader, just joined the forum. After driving a Camry for about 4 years in the US I have moved to India and inherited a millenial Zen which has dutifully ferried me around during the lockdown.

Unlike most of the folks on this forum I wouldn't consider myself a "spirited driver" - I'm content to potter along at a safe speed (certainly not doing 40kmh in the right lane on the highway!). I'm on this forum because I would like to do (or at least know) all of the upkeep of the Zen, plus I desperately need to get a new vehicle since I will be often travelling on inter-city work trips.

I'm currently based in north Karnataka (Hubli-Dharwad-Belgaum area) and work in a very high-tech field. Also, I used to work on EV electricals and chargers for a cutting-edge organization in the US before I moved back.

Here are a couple of threads to get you started.

I have fond memories of spending umpteen leisurely summer vacations in Dharwad at my relatives' homes in the Line Bazaar and Malmaddi areas.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks - I'd glanced through some of these - I guess I'll have more questions as I get my hands dirty!

Also, I'd appreciate any leads on reliable mechanics / garages (for the Zen) in the Hubli-Dharwad area.
TIA!
