Suzuki Dealers are Looting out Customers
Friday, May 11th, 2012 11:52:10 by News Pakistan AdminMandi Bahauddin: Suzuki dealers in Punjab are looting customers under the cover of registration and freight charges of vehicles. A customer who booked Suzuki Mehran said that Suzuki Dealers Jhelum received Rs 21000 as registration charges and Rs 15000 as freight charges on delivery of vehicle. He said he requested the dealers to give him vehicle documents and he would get the vehicle registered with Mandi Bahauddin Excise Department but the dealer refused to oblige him telling that it was Suzuki Company policy that dealers would get the vehicle registered. He also refused to register vehicle with Mandi Bahauddin district and registered vehicle at Jhelum, a station of his own choice. Excise authorities when contacted told that registration for Suzuki Mehran was near about Rs 15000. Regarding freight charges no bill giving details was shown to him. The customer further told that attitude of dealers after booking a vehicle grows harsh and they dictate their own terms. About quality of Suzuki he said its several parts were not fitted properly. Rear and front bumpers were tilting downward. Leaf springs of rear suspension were not in proper alignment. vinyl and lining of doors were not properly fixed. Wheels balancing and vehicle alignment were not satisfactory. AC which costs Rs 52000 gives poor cooling and runs heavy. On first inspection, faults observed were pointed out to mechanics who said that these faults were caused by poor and bad workmanship at the factory while assembling the vehicle. It may be mentioned that Suzuki Mehran is a vehicle that people with low income purchase. Under Yellow Cab Scheme this vehicle is sold to selected persons at price one lakh cheaper as
compared to those who purchase through booking. This disparity in price is unjustified.

Indeed,companies are playing the might game.Having had their monoply and hold on the market,they exploit the customers mainly common people in this case of Mehran vehicle.They dictate their own terms according to their suited and desired outcomes which is certainly not acceptable.Govt Of Pakistan should take some necessary measures to address this manipulation by Suzuki dealers in Pakistan.
There isnt even radio or tape/speakers in new mehran VXR,japanese alto seems affordable in that regard,it has a much better interior and looks,better fuel consumption & is available in around 700K….so why buy mehran which actually has nothing in it?
Agents also take extra money from customers,for the registration and also at the time of buying…this issue also needs to be addressed!
