I would say check out Bay6 on this one than Sejal. Sejal is ok for a routine service stuff, like oil change, regular suspension check, change etc.

Sejal - the guys are a hit or miss. If at all you go, a guy by name Hisbul should not touch your car - NEVER. And please be around the entire duration of the repair.

Thanks. That works better for me as Bay6 is really close to my house. I have had good experiences with Sejal but that was some years back.

The only thing you should get replaced from HASS at max should be the hose. For the other components you can repair them at a FNG for 9-10k max. Avoid Hass for the PS related issue. Only get the hose from them if needed. Also is the PS fluid low in the reservoir?

Hello BHpeans,
My 2010 Civic*(1.2 lakh km) met with some unfortunate event two weeks back. Because of heavy rain, broken roads and potholes made driving difficult, something hit the bottom of the car, and the heat meter went high, so I pulled off the road and switched of the engine. It was late in the evening and raining, so called a local garage fellow, who upon checking told me the coolant got completely drained!

The car got toed to the garage, next morning radiator tank has been replaced that got broken at the bottom.

But the car didn't get back to normal, no pick up, rev stuck at 2k RPM, so finally took it the HAS.

Now after scanning the car they are saying the ECU needs to be replaced along with the Electronic Control Throttle! Sudden over-heating damaged the parts that needs replacement(with a cost estimate of 1+ lakh)

Now what should I do? Advise please.(I am based in Pune).

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mate,

Though I feel its highly unlikely of an vehicle's ECU going kaput by engine overheating and it indeed seems as one of HASS malpractices of extracting money from customers. I would suggest you to kindly take a second or may be third expert opinion. In case, if this is indeed a case of ECU failure, you can get a second hand civic ECU from Delhi for like 10-15 k (installation and programming included).

Do let me know, if you need the contact number of the person who can arrange these for you.

Hope this helps.

Disclaimer : I am not associated with the person who can arrange the second hand parts.

I am asking because mine had taken umpteen hits, mostly at various speed-breakers, though at slow speeds, and so far I haven't taken any damage worth any money (though there are lots of scrapes, etc visible underneath).

Thanks to an errant delivery guy who hit my car front right tyre, I have to replace the following on my 2009 Civic -

1. Windscreen - HASS is quoting Rs.17k for new windscreen, spares and labour. Does this sound reasonable? Also, are there different types of windscreens?

2. Right side rear-view mirror - actually only the bracket is broken - any suggestions on getting just a replacement bracket as against an entire mirron / assembly? Was planning on going to CST Road, Kurla - any suggestions to a particular shop etc would be welcome.

3. Front right mount - again HASS quoting about Rs.12k including labour and parts - this is not the engine mount but some other part, sounds pretty expensive for a rubber part.

Also, any recommendations for a good garage between Goregaon and Borivali? Been taking the car to Solitaire Borivali but their labour quotes are getting way to high now.

For the windshield replacement, do check out the Windshield Experts outlet in your city. They are very competitive in terms of rates and do a good job of replacing the windshield.

1. Windscreen - lot of aftermarket options are available at half the price. I got mine replaced 2 years ago with a Pilkington for about 7K all inclusive. It has seen torrential rains in Goa, Karwar and North Malabar. No leakages nothing.

2. I got the RHS mirror assembly in exchange for my old broken mirror (the base mount had broken) for rs.2,500

I got mine replaced at windshield experts for under 10K 3/4 years ago. But ever since that change the glare on the windshield was way higher than the OEM one which came with the car.

The current owner of the car did not like it and got it changed from HASS, he says no such issues again. I cannot comment since I have not seen it in person, but the glare from the windshield experts replacement I can confirm

The left Power window went kaput. The motor had gone bust. A new motor would set me back by 8k.
Took it to a mechanic recommended by Ghai. He opened the motor up. Changed the coil. Plus I got my boot lock repaired. Damages - Rs 1200.

I checked the reservoir and it was really low. Surprised that HASS didnt top it during service last weekend. I went to Bay6, he said the leagage seems very small, but asked to check after 7-10 days of filling the oil.Fingers crossed.

Since last few days I am facing issue with car stalling when coming down to slow speed. E.g. while cruising at 30-40kmph, if I try to slow down at signal or speed breaker, engine struggles with low rpm which drops close to or below 500rpm. And engine stalls.

Earlier this used to happen but not so frequently. Today happened 8-10 times in mere 10km driving stretch. Any pointers what can be issue?

P.s. there is no engine check light or ecu error code
