An update - got my tail lights fixed by my favourite neighbourhood mechanics - Gargatte Automobiles at Kalewadi Phata - and they did a superb job on it! Even though all the mounts were broken and unusable (at all), the lights are fitted absolutely spot on, using some screws, a little wire, and some surgical mastery. They also sourced and fitted one broken bulb holder, ensured all wiring was restored to normal, and as a bonus, also perfected the position of the rev cam.
The total bill: 650
Ford A.S.S estimate: 30000
Total savings: 29350
The relief: Priceless!
Note: For any and all car repairs once out of warranty, including body work, I highly recommend this garage. They work with a passion rarely seen, their expertise is of the highest quality, their customer service spotless and the prices crazy cheap!

Can you please provide more details on location of Gargatte Automobiles . Could not find it on Gmaps or justdial either!!
Directions:
Take the road from Aundh to Hinjewadi. Cross Rakshak Society signal. At the Y junction, take the right towards Jagtap Dairy. This is the Aundh Ravet road, which crosses Kalewadi Phata, Dange Chowk and meets the Expressway where it begins. (The left goes to the Hinjewadi-Wakad bridge).
On this road, go straight till you see the first flyover (this is Kalewadi Phata). You cannot miss Pride Purple Square on your left, just as you reach Kalewadi Phata.
At the junction take a U turn back towards Aundh, and immediately, within 10-15 meters, you will see Gargatte Auto on your left. If the road opens out beyond the flyover work, you have missed it.
Try 020 6030 8081 - it's an old number, haven't tried it recently, but it should still work.
