Hello dear Deepam ,
Sharing my camber readings . Please have a look and suggest ur findings .

+++++++++++++++++
Thank you for sharing your Wheel Alignment report.
Please have a closer look at the Front Camber readings:
- Left -0 deg 41 minutes
- Right 0 deg 01 minutes
I do not think your car has met with Accident or is there any wear and tear of components; as it has done only 10k km. So like my case the Wheel Alignment machine is out of calibration and needs to be calibrated.
If you chose to continue with this calibration, inner side of tyre will see more wear and will wear out
I recommend you to go to MRF Tyre center and get the Wheel alignment done again.
Compare the Front Camber readings, according to me it should come close to -0 deg 20 minutes for both left and right [should be even].
MRF T&S centers can be located at:
MRF Tyres & Service
Then with that report you can go to the Original Wheel alignment center, to show the error of this machine.
Also look at the KM odometer readings keyed in - how casual Technicians are doing their job!

True deepam , the best part is before they get the readings the technician pulls out the wheel so that none can identify the exact mistake and correction he has done . This guy who dose the alignment has been doing with all my cars since 2005 . I hope the error in the reading is basically a false impression created by the tech so that none can identify the correction . As of now none of my old cars had any issues with un-even tyer wear . But as u said will take the car to mrf tyre centre and check for the alignment readings again .

Nikhil,
What was the life [km-mileage] you got on your car tyres previously?
At MRF T&S just get the alignment done. Before handing over the car, please ask to provide the calibration report of Wheel Alignment done previously.
Front Camber both left and right should same or close values [not exceeding 10 minutes].
I also trusted blindly my service provider! Lost the trust now and need to look for new Vendor.

I have got more than 35k km on my Tyers after which I exchange my Tyers for new ones where I get more than 2000rs per tyre for the old ones . That too done by my alignement technician . I haven’t felt any uneven tyre wear on my previous cars , alto 2005 model run 90k km sold in 2015 , celerio Zxi o 2015 model run 40k km sold in 2017 , civic 2006 model first tyre change in 45 k km , next one in 75k upsized to 215/55/16 and sold at 1.20lakh km in 2017 . Presently owning Ignis zeta AGS 2017 model run more than 14 k km till date with 195/55/15 upsized width of Tyers and went for after market alloys exchanging OE alloys and Tyers on day 1 , and Honda city Zx 2017 cvt petrol upsized to 215/55/17 with more than 12 k km on its odo exchanging OE alloys and Tyers from day 1

Hello friends ,
It’s been about 14k km in the odo , sustaining heavy rains for the past few weeks horn of my Phoenix ( city Zx cvt ) went boom with only one single horn had to survive for few km. Went to the ASC Peninsular Honda, TVM , last day where you they assured me the best if at all will change the horn under warranty . Only thing skeptic for me was the removal of the bumper to look for the horn . I was not at all interested in removing my bumper as refixing would introduce to some gaps at the bumper body interface . But the technician was really curtious enough not to remove the bumper rather he did it by removing the horn through available space . When it came out their was a wire cut which made the horn not to work . Fixed the issue in 5 min . Did a customary wash and off I go in half an hour time .

Hello mates ,
It’s been a year since I have got my Phoenix (Honda city Zx cvt 2017) . What to say an amazing car loved it in and out though haven’t ridden it to the red line yet even though the odometer shows more than 16700 odd km . May be cause my hairs are greying out or my mind has started aging along with my body . Any way the drastic change in my driving habits, from a sprint and enthusiastic driving to a sedate calm driving may have acclaimed not to do the red lining on the tachometer . The overall comfort with the car is awesome when compared to my pocket rocket Ignis Zeta AGS 2017 . The average varies from 12.5- 14.7 a liter for the past 16700 kms burning my pocket by a hefty ₹ 97939 for 1272.25 Lts of petrol with increasing petrol prices . Did a customary wash today . No much niggles or issues so far . Miles to go ...

Hello fellas ,
It’s been quite long since I have posted something about my Phoenix (Honda city Zx cvt 2017) . Was busy with work so couldn’t keep updated . My car recently went for its 20k service . The ASC Peninsular Honda Thiruvananthapuram done a fantastic work that too in an hours time . Luckily they were open on Sunday so took my car for the service by 11 and gave back the car at 12.30 -1 pm . Costed me 5265₹ . The average for the past 20k on its Odo is 14kmpl with combined city and highway rides . Calculated to total amount of petrol filled for 20000km . Total of 1410 liters of petrol worth 1,08,888₹ . So the total average for a range 20k km was 14.18kmpl .
