Carnation Auto, a brainchild of Jagadish Kattar, former CEO of Maruti Udyog limited and a retired bureaucrat, a multi-brand car servicing venture has opened nine outlets simultaneously in nine Indian cities and plans to come up with 20 more outlets.
Carnation Auto is the first of its sort auto venture where cars from multiple brands are sold under one roof. Each outlet will also prove to be an interface between branded spare parts, manufacturers and the consumers.
Car servicing in India will reach new levels of competence as car owners will no longer be required to go exclusive centres in their city.

Carnation Auto will be a one stop shop for buying new accessories including those manufactured by private labels and getting car serviced by trained technicians. People owning more than one brand of car can get their car serviced and repaired under one roof rather than shuttling to various car brand showrooms.
In fact, Carnation appears to be aimed at the urban centres where a lot of people own more than one brand of vehicle. On the other hand there have been many instances when buyers have bought news cars from certain showrooms because it was nearer to their residences.
Though India is ranked among the 10 fastest growing car markets of the world, auto solution have been far and few. The brightest idea in car industry after car manufacturers was opening certified used car outlets which helped manage the business of old car. Now a bulk of revenues for car manufacturers come from these certified outlets.
However, there was no focused approach to provide servicing to all car owners at the same time. Carnation has come in to answer that prayer.

Ford India has introduced a new philosophy of car service with the establishment of its first ‘Quick Service Station’. This is an innovative process designed for car servicing at Harpreet Ford in Gurgaon.
This unique service facility gives you an opportunity to get a car serviced in just one hour. Now, you won’t have to wait for another day to get the delivery of a car after you give it for servicing. This helps save a lot of time for both the customers and the company.
This is made possible with an ingenious idea that is implied to set up the service centre. The service centre is planned in such a way that all the technician’s requirements such as parts, oil, air, and water are available in the bay so as to save time to collect these items from other counters.
You can even clearly visualize your car being serviced in a clean and conducive environment while you are waiting at the reception. This means that the bay will be clearly visible from the customer lounge enabling the customers to actually see the process of servicing.
The 'Quick Service' is quite similar to the Ford's current Quality Care service which is a scheduled servicing facility. Presently, the Quick Service facility is available across over 23 dealerships in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore, and New Delhi.
