Wrong decision buying from India Garage(Bangalore)

Buying experience from India Garage bangalore was a big mistake there are scratches on rear door right side. Seat cover of driving side was dirty when I complained about it they just removed the seat covers. I think I bought second hand car paying new car amount.(Displayed car) I am totally disappointed by the service of India Garage.
