What indexes do you have on your table?

I'll bet none.

What does an explain select count(*) from dealer_vehicle_details where 
modified_on
     between '2012-10-01' and '2012-10-08' and dealer_id=270001;

show?

I have a 380Million row table, with LOTS of indexing, and we perform 
very well.

Without indexes, the query had to sequential scan all 10 million rows.  
That's going to be bad on ANY database.
