Dear Yamaha India,
I Amarpreet Dhillon want to share one of the worst experiences I have faced in terms of Sales Services provided by one of your Dealer Sakshi Motors, Nerul Navi Mumbai which should be regarded as a CRIME.
I have booked a Yamaha R3 on 16th June 2016 with token amount of 10, 000/- as a booking amount. However, when in conversation I was communicated by Mr. Avatar Singh (Who claims to be an Owner of Sakshi Motors) told me to make the payment in full and only then they will be able to do the booking for the bike and delivery later on. As I was going to opt for Bike Loan from HDFC Bank Ltd for 1, 80, 000/- with an EMI option for 4 Years.
Addition Amount taken Bike Loan from HDFC Bank Ltd of 1, 80, 000/-
Total Amount received by Sakshi Motors is 3, 71, 000/-
I was told by Mr. Avatar Singh that I would get my Yamaha R3 on or before 30th July 2016. However, when in between this period when I used to call him to know the status of the bike, he used to speak very rudely and used to never answer my calls properly also would get personal by involving and speaking of my professional status and how I should not be asking him again and again about the bike status. Thereafter, he also for some days stopped taking my phone calls.
When I started enquiring again about my R3 in the last week of July, where I received this communication that it will come by 5th August 2016. Hence, I decided that I want to cancel the booking and do not intend to buy the bike anymore from Sakshi Motors. Then I was introduced to Mr. Naresh Sood (Who also claims to be the owner) and committed me that R3 will be delivered to me on 5th August 2016 and I left the showroom.
On 5th August 2016 I got the delivery of my Yamaha R3 and was very happy with the same. However, my happiness turned into unhappiness by next day when I checked the chassis number and engine number of the bike and realised that they have given me a 2015 manufactured bike. Now I need Yamaha India to make me understand why should I get a bike of 2015 manufactured when we are alive in 2016 August and 8 months have already passed by for 2015.
When I brought this in notice to Sakshi Motors they behaved as if they were unaware of the fact and making me feel that they are not selling bikes but are selling peanuts to me of 3, 71, 000/-. I called Mr. Naresh Sood and he assured me that even if it’s a 2015 manufactured bike I don’t have to worry as if any issues arrives to the bike he will take care. However I did not agree for the same as it is a clear act of FRAUD by Sakshi Motors. Later, Mr. Naresh Sood called back and assured me that this time he will give me a 2016 manufactured Yamaha R3 before 25th August 2016 and he told me to drop the bike at the showroom, which I did immediately and took a confirmation on mail from their official E mail Id for the same (Mail snapshot attached)
Later on, again when I used to call Mr. Naresh Sood and Mr. Avatar Singh they always spoke to me very rudely and would never answer questions as per my satisfaction and disconnected calls. Today, 22nd August 2016 when I again asked them for the status of my bike and they had very stupid answers that they still don’t know the status of my R3 and said that they will call me back and never turned up and finally I only have to call them back for the status. Now, Mr. Naresh Sood is not receiving my calls.
I just want to bring this to Yamaha India notice that this is a clear act of Fraud and Yamaha India should take necessary actions against such Fraudsters. It has been more than 2 months and Sakshi Motors have been sleeping and dreaming. My bank EMI has also been started but I do not have my Yamaha R3 to ride. I have also put a complaint via toll free number (Complaint Number: IC-25199-Z3X4) and I was told the action will be taken within 48 hours but nothing has happened and still I am left empty handed.
I have ridden bikes from Brands like Bajaj, KTM, Honda and Suzuki but I never thought that I would suffer so much WHEN BUYING A YAMAHA BIKE. I just want Yamaha India to help either to get my bike before 25th August 2016 or please cancel my booking for Yamaha R3. I do not intend to deal with such a Fraud Dealer named as Sakshi Motors who are spoiling stake of Yamaha Bikes in India. I would never ever recommend any of my friends to buy Yamaha bikes in future and definitely never from Sakshi Motors.
I would request you to kindly take necessary action against Sakshi Motors.
I AM VERY STRESSED AND FRUSTRATED AS I HAVE INVESTED MY ENTIRE SAVINGS TO BUY YAMAHA R3.
YAMAHA INDIA IF YOU ARE LISTENING TO ME, KINDLY HELP ME!!!
