I&#8217;ve been travelling to Mumbai every summer since I was born. But in the last 3 years we&#8217;ve been traveling more frequently, we just love Mumbai! BUT, we can&#8217;t stand the heat of Mumbai and hate using the local transport. Which led us to purchase a car, the Toyota Corolla! <\/p>\n<p>Since we&#8217;re used to Automatic cars in Hong Kong, we decided that an Automatic would be a smart choice for the Mumbai traffic as well. <\/p>\n<p>So far the car has done about 50,000 kms. And it has been great and smooth. Though lately, the car has been giving trouble. The engine makes weird noises when I floor the car, the steering is VERY tough (it used to be much smoother earlier) and at high speeds the steering wheel shakes. I&#8217;m not sure if this makes a major difference, but around a year ago my dad met with an accident with the car. He went head-on with another car, the damage wasn&#8217;t too bad from what he said. He said only the front bumper had gone or something. Is it due to that, that these problems are occuring? What should be done?<\/p>\n<p>Since my mom is in India I have told her to give the car for servicing before I arrive (which is next Saturday). Any suggestions as to which Toyota service centre I should leave the car at? I want excellent servicing at the value-for-money, I don&#8217;t want to get ripped off as I did last time. The last time I gave the car for a simple service, I had to pay RS.40,000. I&#8217;m not sure if thats normal for these cars or something.<\/p>\n<p>As I am not in India right now I am unable to attach any photos, but I will do so next week when I&#8217;m back.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading and I hope to receive some useful advice! \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Guys, So it&#8217;s about time I did a review on my 2006 Toyota Corolla.
