Re: Story of White Beauty | My Nissan Magnite Turbo XL | Ownership Review A Day to Remember- 18.02.2022
Took White Beauty for a deep clean at Autorelli Nissan service center in Topsia.
Was attended immediately by Ms. Tumpa Mahato, CRM and the car was duly sent for the work. Like always, the vehicle was washed thoroughly and wiped with a dresser and the car started shining like the Sun.

However, it seems Almighty had a different plan. While returning home in Narendrapur, we were waiting at a traffic signal to turn green when suddenly I noticed a Royal Enfield bike which was waiting behind my car, being hit by a sand laden truck and in turn it hit my car. Luckily the truck didn't move further and became tilted after its right side wheels went outside the road and stopped, 1 inch difference would have made the truck turn turtle and land in the roadside canal. Today got a feel of the build quality of Magnite. The car just rocked very little despite the bike hitting the car hard from the back due to the truck which never applied any brakes. However, me and my father was lucky that we didn't have had any injuries and the car had some dents in the boot. Bumper, tail lamps were all fine. Since the incident happened in front of a police checkpost, cops immediately took action. They caught the truck driver and asked for his license, which he couldn't produce. The truck was leaning precariously on the edge and any more tilting would have made it fall inside the canal. The truck was towed back on the road while the owner was asked to cough up for the damages. After some negotiations, he agreed to pay part amount. I was getting late hence didnt negotiate further. Agreed and left. ![Name: AC1.jpg

White Beauty after being hit, the damaged boot.
Here, I would like to thank Lord of the Roads- Nissan Group which took up the matter on their own and spoke with Nissan India as well as Autorelli Nissan dealership owner. The Executive Assistant to the MD called me and said that she is personally looking into the matter. The car has been sent for repairs yesterday at Autorelli Nissan Topsia service center. I met the main body mechanic of the workshop who said that the boot and bumper would be replaced. I will hopefully get my car back on upcoming Wednesday or Thursday. Stay tuned. |
