I wanted to redo a single seat alone of the Stanley. A patch-work would also do. Any idea how much that would cost?

They closed the old one.

It's now shifted to the NH just opposite Ernakulam Medical Center.

As Naveen and many fellow bhpians posted, riyaz was the only one with good behavior I too agree with you guys. I had my indica iced from there when riyaz was there. He helped a lot, he was patient enough to answer your queries and clear your doubts. The guy and the two ladies there in the shop shows the typical 'we don't care about you' emperor attitude. Am having a second thought about for the coming ice installation.

Can any one please suggest some other good shop?

I think Riyaz has come back to his hometown.He has own shop at Pala.

Went to Emperor to check on ICE and alloy upgrade options. There was this arrogant 'grandpa' there. I asked about infinity components and bull audio. I mentioned to him about the bulls in my car installed by them 6 years back. He said Rainbows, hertz are the components of the day. He did not offer an audition of any of these and was not interested in showing even the boxes. He ridiculed me by saying that I am stuck in the past by asking for Blaupunkt, JBL GTO and RF amps. He quoted the bull amp for 14k. He suggested the sony and pioneer amps(at 6k and 9k respectively) for a 'budget-wala' like me.

Loved the MOMOs there. But the buy back he offered was 2.5k for the alloys and 2.5 k for the JKs. The tyres on display were some 'Han-ken' which according to him is a chineese superbrand designed in the US for racing. He quoted 5-6k for 16 inch 225 and 7-8k for 17 inch 225. LOL. 17 inch momos were quoted for 42k and 16 inchers for 34-36k.

No wonder that shop is the exact same size as it was 6 years back. May be we should have some NRI / rich arrogant brat like demeanour (common in Kerala these days) when dealing with that grand-pa. Too bad. Decided to shop elsewhere for the alloys and tyre. However I might go there for a component install.
