The main story behind starting a RepairGali is full of frustrations. Actually in the year 2015, I was going with my family by a Car. It was a long journey. In the middle of the journey, we decided to refill our tank. Accidentally, the man filled the car with diesel. Our car was petrol version. when we came out of the city, after 20 km our engine got seized. We call the 24 hr support customer service of the car brand. First they told us to wait for half an hour. After half an hour we called again but they didn’t replied.After two hour they called and said hat they had no mechanics available at that time. They told us that we have got wrong fuel. The whole 7 hr process frustrated me so much. I decided that i will solve this problem.
