REVIEW : After sales service at Tata Concorde, Bangalore is
pathetic. They don't even verify whether the defects mentioned by the
customer is completely rectified. For each defect mentioned I have to
run around the technicians to rectify them. Added to this, they create
additional problems after every service.

REVIEW : I had bought Tata Indigo LS in Mar 2008 from Joshi
Autozone, Chandigarh. Though I have driven the car just for 2400Km, my
feeling is that it is a value for money! Petrol prices are soaring like
anything....Indigo LS offers respite by providing luxury at minimum
expenditure. I am getting a mileage of 18KM with AC.....on highways even
more!!! I initially had a problem with rear shock absorber in my car
which was thankfully replaced instantly during first service under
warranty by Joshi Autozone. Joshi was not only good during sales but
also on the service front. Coming to the driving experience....seating
is comfortable and less bumpy with good shock absorbers....boot space is
gr8.....initial torque is a bit poor....interiors are OK....new
headlights/taillights look good.....good airconditioning....about
maintenance it would be too early to say. Look for a review again after
I have more driving experience with this car. My suggestion to people
who are looking for a spacious, comfortable and economical car within
4-6Lacs is to go for INDIGO LS.....for sure this car would not
dishearten you!

REVIEW : Hi friends. I am planning to buy this car (indigo Lx)
but after reading the reviews i am really confused and surprised that
though it is not a bad car at all however the after sale service is
shocking !!! i am amazed what tata is doing about their dealers . i
myself went with my cousin and thats true the dealers after selling the
car treat you like is if the existing customers hold no value to the
company. It is a request to the company, please do something before the
image of tata gets completely spoiled.

REVIEW : I bought TATA INDIGO from PAWA MOTORS,DELHI ON 25Jul'07
.On 29th Jan'08 when i was driving (at speed around 15Km/hr due to
Traffic) suddenly the power steering & Brakes of car got jammed.It
was my luck that at that time car was at a slow speed but if the speed
would be higher then it could cause a major accident. The reason for
this was breakage of Alternator belt as it has just crossed 15,000km and
the warranty of this belt (As told by Pawa Motors service manager) is
15,000kms and my car had run 15020Kms.Just 20km more was the reason of
this Breakage???Amazing

also own Toyota and Honda and it does not compare, Tata has a long way

REVIEW : I being a proud owner of tata vehicles since 1992 (tata
estate) trusted in tata product and bought several vehicles year after
year from Tata. But this time when i bought this tata xeta gls
bearing chasis number -600631bszp25564 with registration number
-dl3cay 2196 on july 28th 2007 from vivek automobiles from delhi. All my
patience and trust on tata motors is lost as since the day of purchase i
am facing problems with this car.despite repeated visits to various tata
workshops no relief is being given. Even my personal visit to Mr.
Tarun Grover in your gurgaon regional office was in vain. Despite his
promise to solve the problem nothing has been done yet. My vehicle
with current km's 9938 , is still lying with sanya motors for repairs
from the lastseven days with job card number jc-sanya-ok-0708-010849
dated 16-12-07. earlier a month back itwas with them for 15days. Since
purchase if you please check the job cards of this vehicle with various
workshops, you can very well find the same pickup problems every time
since i bought this vehicle. I beg to ask you did i purchased this
vehicle to drive for my personal use or just to visit your various
workshops around delhi. This is hell driving this vehicle now and i
humbly request you now to take back this vehicle of yours and refund me
my money back as i have no trustover tata motors any more.
Hope to get some relief this time.....

REVIEW : Tata cars are just a hoax for Mr. Ratan Tata to make
money. Period. It looks to me like the Tatas are selling motorised
bullock carts on Indian Roads!! More aptly the Indigo should have been
named as Tata 103 or something inline with their naming convention for
Trucks. You visit a service centre and you are always wondering how the
car will feel after this service atleast. God forbid Tatas are now
toying with hybrid technology. God save the customers. I have interactde
with many Tata dealerships in Bangalore and you knwo what NONE of their
own employees own Tata cars! They drive Marutis and Hyundais themselves.
So much for their own confidence on the product they sell.

REVIEW : I have still not bought this car but i was planning to
do so. But before going to purchase I decided to study the reviews of
owners and after reading , I came to decide that I will not buy this
car. No doubt this a nice product launched by TATA. But the main problem
is with dealers moreover I really dnt understand why tata comapny is not
taking the cunstomers complaint seriously (u can check the reviews
almost evry customer is complaining regarding dealerships, sericing
problems). This ignorance can spoil the image of tata group in market.
Because all the new readers (like me , who wants to know reviews of
buyers) will definately got a negative impression. I request to tata
please rectify the addressed dealers problmes. Because its not a big
deal and by ignoring this you are loosing trust of your owners which is
not at all good for a companys'development. Hope to see improvement in
coming times.

REVIEW : I Purchased this Tata Indigo Ls in Jan 2005. My car no.
is DL 3C AF 3986. I dont want to make a full detailed problem story here
as this space will be too less for that as i felt cheated within a few
days of puchasing this SHIT vehicle. I am sorry i have to use this word
but this car deserves that. From starting only i am spending atleast Rs
6000 per month on an average just for the maintainence. Almost each n
every major part of this car has been changed atleast once. Pick up is
bad, Ac is worse in summer, Suspension is changed twice in 2 years,
shockers also been changed twice, oil pumb has been broken thrice,
alternater is changed, engine rod has been repaired and changed
countless times, battery has been changed once & it is giving
problem again within 6 months of changing.etc etc etc. To add to that
the service station people only know how make big big bills & dont
bother to work on the vehicle. I have been cheated continuosly by all
your authourised service centres like Siyaram Motors, G.T. Road delhi &
Indicare , G.T. Road Delhi. These charge us heavily for the services and
all & what we found out through a local mechanic after the service
that the air filter is completely chocked as if it is not changed for
months & we are being charged for the same numerous times. After all
this please tell us who will be going to take this car again or a tata
car again. Its not only me but cousin too is facing the same problem
with his indigo. I will never suggest anybody to take this car. If
possible i want to just throw this car away as i am just fed up. You
please check is out and solve my problem for that u dont need to do much
just check once in your records that how much i spent on this car's
maintainence for the past 2.5 years you will come to know about my
problem. Waiting for a response.

REVIEW : I have an indigo lx bought 3 years back and still
running fine. I get 16km/l of diesel. The only bad point is lack of
pulling below 2000 rpm which interferes with driving at times. The gear
ratio could have been revised to fit with the pulling power of the
engine. Except for the above it is a fine vehicle to drive especially at
high speeds even above 100km and is stable and no body rolls. I have
driven three other vehicle one ambassodor, santro,honda city but i love
this vehicle for the stability and reliability. I wonder why the gear
ratio is not improved and the puling power also to be improved. I drive
80 km per day daily without much difficulty.

REVIEW : I liked Tata Indigo and was instrumental in buying
three cars. But the poor technical know how at Nawab Motors, it makes
lot of noise while driving (maybe from brakes or shockers or somewhere
else which engineers said it is normal). It fails every time at
pollution check. After spending 5 Lac, i think Maruti or Hyundai are
better options. At service centres you are treated like taxi drivers.

REVIEW : Hi,
We in the family rarely use the car (tata indigo LS), as justified by
the mileage logged: 9k in 3 years. But these are a few points I'd like
to put forward.
Cons:
(a). poor fit and finish, small force suffice to remove the rubber
cladding in the sides, the lock to the storage space came loose, and
rattling noise, fixed after service.
(b). dull interiors
(c). the fuel gauge indicator unreliable, digital would be better.
(d). high dashboard cause inconvenience to beginners, the left side
rammed into a road barrier and the transaxle broke loose, fixed under
insurance. This could be attributed to driver mistake.
(e). lacks punch at low speeds.
pros:
(a). good mileage, 16 to 20 kmpl.
(b). excellent paint work.
(c). huge spaces all throughout.
(d). good composure at high speeds, is a highway car.
Upon reading the previous reviews, I was surprised by the complaints of
other indigo owners. This is my first car, but personally i think its a
no frills economy car. But I do agree with the servicing dealerships
being not that good.

REVIEW : I've been test driving it with a view towards purchase.
I've found that when I drive it at different places and different
versions (LX, LS, Marina) I get totally different and inconsistent
performances for what is essentially the same engine. This led me to
believe that Tata's has no manufacturing consistency and you have to
consider yourself lucky to get a good piece.
General observation was that it is very very underpowered at the low
RPMs, i.e. when you start off. I think it would be pretty underpowered
on the highway too especially in an overtaking situation. The new
facelift makes the product look much uglier than the original Italian
designers intended and now they've raised the price. Tata's appears to
be shooting itself in the feet repeatedly. I'm pretty confused about my
purchase decision now.

REVIEW : Respected sir,
I have the ownership of TATA Indigo LX (starry gray colour).It was
delivered on 06-01-06 from kulathungal motors Thiruvananthapuram.
On first service time the fading of headlights and some burning in the
bonnet paint due to corrosion were informed at the service centre
(Kulathungal Motors).Then they said that they were responsible to change
the bonnet and fender at the next service time (warranty).
During the second service time they changed two headlights and painted
the bonnet as well as fender. Then my car was subjected for painting
from the date (21-08-06 to 01-09-06) that means nearly for two weeks at
Kulathungal Motors. In that period first they painted the bonnet with an
unmatched paint. With my complaint they changed the bonnet and painted
it again with that unmatched paint. Again I complained for the same.
Because of that they choose matched paint but there is no finishing (ie,
there is an appearance of alternate colour change due to the improper
painting) I also noticed the peeling of paint at the car's top mounting
and Beading colour faded .while traveling there is some abnormal sound
from the front seat. Clutch is not comfortable to use.

REVIEW : HI
I purchased one TATA Indigo SX (Diesel) from Classic Motor, Dhanbad
about 8 month back, since I paid the money to Classic Motor, their
behavior totally changed.
When I purchase the car the Gear Box, changing the gear was very loose
and they assured me that when first/2nd service is done it will be okay,
but 1st servicing is done and nothing has done, the clutch needs
adjustment, there is sound in Dashboard, and I think while turning the
car the wheel turns less, so while taking U turn I have to back the car
once in spite of my request nothing done at first servicing, now my car
has done about 10,000 km and I need to send this car for servicing and
they will again wash the car and will take the service coupon for
nothing.
The AC of the car is not working properly, when you run the AC at the
top capacity you can feel some cool on front seat, I have made many
complains and also sent my car but they did not even touch the AC system
and said it is okay now.
When I drive the car on Highway, after 110 Km speed, the steering wheel
shakes lightly, there is engine noise.
Before 1st servicing the pickup of the engine was good but after 1st
servicing the pick of the car is very less now.
I think the absorber of the car is also not working properly.
I can say TATA Indigo car is not a bad car, good mileage, but their
authorized dealer made the car really not bad but authorized service
centers of Tata Motors are horrible. I had purchased this car about 8
months back it has done only less then 10,000 km. When I have to go
other city I have to take my old Maruti Esteem instead of this new
Indigo.
I advise TATA motor to start some Workshop as to how the after sales
service is to be done. Or they can send their dealers to Maruti Udyod to
learn how to do after sale service. THEIR AUTHORISE DEALER WAITS TILL
THE WARRANTY EXPIRES AND WHEN THEY CAN CHARGE.
And I also request TATA Motor to read feedback of the customer and see
why a customer is making complain.
