Overdue update – My car is finally back from Carmed, and almost everything is sorted for now. Also added a few pics here since I was able to get some nice shots this weekend.
The ride has become extremely quiet because of the new tyres, and new rear brake pads and rotors which were scuffing and making noise before the change. I need to run the new rotors for ~150 km before I can hard brake, so no speed tests before that to check how the new tyres perform.
Got new engine and transmission mounts which Kalyan from Carmed recommended to reduce vibrations.
Got some new parts like the wiper cowl cover which had worn out, new roof lining, new boot shockers, new headlight wash nozzles (from A-Z parts), and some internal switches like the mode and steering speed limiter/cruise control which had worn so got them replaced.
Also got the Viofo 3 channel A229 plus dashcam fixed.
I also added some dog seat covers since the rear seat is almost exclusively for my pupper.
I am still waiting for one switch and a fog lamp to be delivered, which should be a 20-minute job to replace.
Has anyone got their dashcam fixed with a hardware kit to sense any impact when parked? If so, do you know if it catches anyone touching/scratching the car as well, or only accident impact? I’m facing some miscreants who have scratched the car already and I’m at my wits’ end with this vandalism.
Lastly, I got some interior leather upholstery done by this studio in Bagalur called Refurb Studio. From my experience, I would highly recommend avoiding this place if you can. Not only did the owner not tell me that they will mess up the stitching when doing their work, and getting the stitching fixed is not part of the job. When I asked about it later, he first said that is not part of their job, then changed his tone to say that is how the car was delivered to him, then changed the tone again to say that he couldn’t do a proper job because I pushed him to deliver the car back quickly. Even after all this, I paid him before taking my car, and all I asked for was a bill. He sent me a bill with my name not mentioned correctly, and refuses to correct it because I told him I would leave a bad review. Without a bill, I can’t file this expense, and so I have had to file a consumer forum complaint to get the correct bill for the money I’ve paid (~12k). Even if I ignore the shoddy job, this pathetic customer service doesn’t deserve any business. Happy to share pics of the job he’s done if anyone wants to see them.
