Pratham motors on ORR, Bangalore is a cheat.
I bought car stereo system from them .I asked them to install Sony player and Kenwood speakers. He
installed some junk Maruti Nippon speakers .The front speakers were fitted inside the dash bord and the back speakers were inside the rear trunk and covered with Maruti logo cover. They were not visible, so I couldn’t realize what he has given to me and charged full amount.
After some time when the speakers stopped working, I got it opened by pratham motor technician for repair.
To my surprise, I found that it is not Kenwood but some junk Maruti Nippon speakers. There is no Nippon or Kenwood label on it , only a Maruti label and "NFC" series number indicating it is from Nippon. First he kept saying it is Maruti Genuine accessory, then to fool me, he said, Nippon is same as Kenwood.
I went to Nippon authorized service station in Koramangala . They told me that Nippon and Kenwood are clearly different companies. Both of them have a tie up with Maruti. The NFC series is Nippon and if it were Kenwood, it would have been KFC series.
Nippon Audiotronix Ltd is the distributer of car electronics. It manufactures its own car electronics
accessories. It also distributes Kenwood and other brands. Maruti has tie up with it to supply Nippon
speakers and other car electronics to its cars such as Esteem, swift etc. Pratham motors fooled me by saying that Kenwood and Nippon are same. Nippon is such a low end manufacturer in India . It has no comparison with Kenwood. Just because Nippon audiotronics supply Kenwood speakers, Pratham motors gave me Nippon speakers saying it is same as Kenwood.
What the crook Pratham motors gave me were the removed speakers of some such car not the Kenwood speakers.
I am left with broken junk Maruti Nippon speakers which I never wished for.
My advice to all the people is that don’t give your cars to Pratham motors for service and don’t take any
accessories from him at all. If he is fitting anything, open it and see what he is giving. He will
definitely cheat you where ever he can. He is a cheater.
