What Car India Magazine - January 2019

Buying a car is a big decision and no one realises it more than we do. In order for you to take the correct decision, we spend hours researching the needs of a typical buyer, drive hundreds of kilometers on every type of road and measure and calculate every kind of data before we come to a verdict. And finally, our mystery-shoppers are always on a lookout and bring to you the best deals. For the better part of five years now our motto has been to help you buy the right car and we strive to achieve it month-after-month.
