Toyota Recall

Toyota's recall of several of its models is in my opinion good for the company. I am sure they'll come out well after this major issue and will never land in this mess again.

I have owned a Toyota, Honda and Nissan and I have to say that my vote for quality goes for Toyota.

That said.....

Have any cars/vehicles/anything ever been recalled in India? I never liked the Ambassadors, Fiats and the Standard cars and vans when I was growing up.

The awkward seats, the shape, those windows that were hard to roll, the noise inside, the stupid trunk, wiper blades like toys .etc..I can name a lot of things.

I would say that the Fiat was slightly better when compared to the other two junk cars ( Ambassador / Standard ).

Have you seen the finish in a brand new Ambassador/Fiat/Standard car or van? It sucked big time didn't it? I remember being able to see the road under my feet from new cars/vans !! Those bumpers were the biggest joke !

So much for quality.

I was very happy when the Maruti-800 was rolled out in the 80's !

I am glad the junk Ambassadors, Fiats and Standards have gone for good.

PIERCEY TOYOTA MILPITAS - ROCKS !!


How often do you enjoy you car service experience? I did last week...probably for the first time in several years.

Thanks to my cousin Vichu who recommended Piercey Toyota's service, I decided to try them out on Saturday at their new showroom in Milpitas.

I called them and they asked me to come-in. I reached there around noon and I was simply flattered by their service.

As I drove my car into the service ramp, service advisors came like vultures, greeted me, took my keys, took me inside the showroom, gathered details of the service and requested me to wait..all in less than 15 minutes.

The waiting hall was like a hug Mall, wonderfully designed. There were play areas, Big screen TV's, all kinds of ( New ) magazines and newspapers and wonderful sofas to sit and relax.

Coffee, Tea, Expresso etc were free in the coffee machines. Free bottled spring water was a nice to have.

The best was the Internet service. There were 3 workstations with High-speed Internet. It was superb.

When they called me and gave the car back, I felt bad that I had to leave. I felt like getting out of a SPA...not a car dealership.

PS - The service was done well. I liked the car wash which is a perk these days ( atleast in places I've been too ).

PIERCEY TOYOTA leads the way. Hope others follow.
