I had a break down of accelerator cable last fri night at 830@pm in the middle of a highway on way to tirupati with family in my adventure.

Called roadside assistance. In 1 hour there was a mechanic and with constant oncall support from tata motors..mechanic actually managed to go back to nearest town middle of night, used his ingenuity, replaced cable with a bajaj scooter cable, repair completed by 1130 pm and I was in tirupati at 1215 midnight.

Replacement original fiat cable receive by concorde and got a call from them today.

I am a delighted customer ! So not a one off...

Hi Everybody,

Writing to share my experience with Fiat Roadside Assistance. My battery had gone too weak to start the car so I called 1800-209-3428.

The phone was answered by a smart sounding guy with an "eager to help" tone. He asked me what model I had and when I said Petra 1.6 he asked me if that was a Fiat vehicle. I told him that it was a sedan version of the Palio 1.6 and he said "oh a Palio conversion" - I thought it was no use trying to explain further - so I said yes.

In any case he assured me that he would organise help and within 20 minutes a Tata Motors van was at my office carpark and a well mannered and helpful mechanic was out jump starting my car. Even before we had finished, the Fiat guy was calling the mechanic and following up to see if the job had been done.

Now - that was a wow experience - completely unexpected from Fiat or Tata.

This roadside assistance is meant for all fiat vehicles within 50 months of sale and mine is in its 48th month.

That was my experience - I hope it was not a one off.

Another lesson I learnt today was that my car is so exclusive that even Fiat customer service is not aware of the existence of the model.

Best wishes to all of you over there - hope everybody starts seeing a welcome but unexpected change in customer service experience.

Thats really good to see!! What I feel is we need to have some patience with this brand. If they are being honest, they deserve a really really good and patient second chance to make a big comeback in India.

Cheers,

They are working on their A.S.S now. Kudos Fiat! You got golden miles to cover.

OT: Vroom, should try breaking your new car down just to check? [lol!] [stupid]
