arishi1 - Sorry to here about this incident.

Was it not possible for you to go to FIAT's Ranjangaon plant, meet people and check for your spares. I know its not your job, the dealers should have done that. But we the user are sufferers at the end after paying huge money.
The last I heard was the FIAT Spare shop was being shifted to another place, forgot the name of the new place, though.
But phone should be easily available in your local telephone directory.

Arish1,
Could you please PM me Mangesh's email id.
thanks in advance

P.S - not able to send you a PM.

Ouch!.

There goes the bumper & the quarter-panel.

I would have snatched the bus-driver's Driver License & would drop the service bills' estimate to his place with a copy of the FIR.

I've been hearing the Fiat' spares part warehouse moving story in several posts - how true is this story ? Or just that the parts aren't available.

arishi1 · 26th October 2009, 18:26

Updates from Fortune Cars. They finally received the parts, now they are saying it will take them another 15 days to get the car ready. This is really really pathetic. This is the most pathetic part, best cars, world class technology and third class After Sales. So in all after spending 7 lakh in the last two months I have the car with me for just one week. Car in the shop from 25th september till date + 15 days.

Arishi, just mail Mangesh & tell him Fortune will take 15 days for the repairs inspite receiving all the spares, tell him this is not acceptable!

arishi1 · 6th November 2009, 22:58

Finally after a long time (25th Sept. to 6th Nov.) she is back. Got her back from Fortune Cars today. Total Bill 27853, Insurance Paid 25070. Vitamin M lost 2783. Body work done is brilliant. Looks perfectly normal. But while driving back from the workshop noticed the Speedometer is dead

will take to A.S.S. tomorrow to get that fixed. Feedback about the complete service experience for the accident.
9/10 to Fortune Cars People especially Neerav & Rajesh. They kept on following with FIAT for that parts and the work done is great. Neerav gave great advice on the complete incidence and kept on following with the Insrance and FIAT for parts and survey.

2/10 to FIAT, it took them almost a month to provide parts for repair and that too when I sent a mail to Mangesh and wrote about this in the CEO corner. FIAT needs to work on there A.S.S. and they can not blame on TATA saying its managed by them so we can not help much.

Hoping the experience to improve in future.

Congrats arishi that your car is finally back. If these kinks can't be ironed out, then such MoU better be thrown in a trash bin. Drive safe and enjoy the drive.

arishi1 · 8th November 2009, 18:43

In the weekend drove her around Mumbai-Navi Mumbai-Thane region in all about 205 KM, as per the MID getting an average of about 13.5 with 100% AC. The first fuel tank is finally over now. The net average is about 10.5, but I am not considering this since the Speedo and Odo was out for some time and the car was in Body shop for about 1.5 months. Hopefully this new tank will give me more accurate mileage, if what MID is showing is with in 10% deviation then I am happy with the cars performance. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyways, now things are on track so enjoy your drive
