Please becareful of this shop.

[Silent Hunter]

Wah! But now all his electronics "Chow Ta" because they took out the fuse...

His should be getting compensation instead.

 

It's like you go and do a Braces for the teeth, but the dentist cut off your tongue. And still ask you to pay for the braces.

 

Yes no doubt you got to pay for the Braces, even though the teeth still crooked, but shouldn't the dentist compensate for cutting off the tongue?

[Seraph]

must be some screwed up dentist. hahahaha

[siewsphone]

Hey, I think you did not get the picture clear enough, the biggest problem now is, THEY USED COPPER WIRE to TIE THE FUSE and end up everything burnt included the new CDI from them! They even told me they saw smoke came out when they start running my bike for few minutes then they quickly switch off the bike and concluded that is my bike wiring got problem, I think that time the new CDI is burnt already.

 

Hi threadstarter,

 

i spoke to the boss of Hup Hin, and according to him, the $300 charged was for labour, and the cost of a new CDI, which was programmed according to your ignition key.

 

I think it is fair by all accounts.

 

Even if you get admitted in a hospital, and the doctor gave you a diagnostic that you do not believe, and you subsequently choose to have a second opinion, you still have to pay for the initial hospital stay and doctor's fees right?

 

Is there any free lunch in the world? Please tell me where to sign up.

 

 

 

That being said, thanks for enlightening us with a noobie account of what a owner should and should not do when a bike has broken down.

[SkY]

bro go to CASE, you have a valid case to fight... ask for compensation for spendings/time/ etc

if im admitted to a hospital, and the doctor gave me a WRONG diagnostic, gave me a WRONG medication, and i have to be transferred to another hospital to check if that previous doctor had any mistake in his diagnosis, and turn out that there's a mistake, i'm definately not going to pay any cent, for the ward, incorrect medication, and of course an incorrect diagnostic, and instead ask him for compensation for wasting of my time, and delay for my illness to be treated.

 

same theory goes to the bike. sorry i used your theory on you. you working there?

 

p.s - maybe i'll pay for the meals if i'm warded, if i'm in good mood.

[Sâundless]

while the doctor is diagnostic the problem. Will the doctor bill you to spoilt his Brand new equipment? or bill you when he solve the problem?

So right now the mech/doctor fail to find the problem and mean while spoilt your organ by bypass the safety fuse. The Ts is @ fault or the Mech?

 

I would say both side is @ fault. The Shop fail to solve the problem and create more problem for the owner.

The owner went to the wrong shop, and fail to persual the problem.

 

If the shop fail to find the problem, they won`t get a single cent from me. maybe just some workmanship only.

i totally agree with this comment. u make the problem bigger by acting as though u are fixing the problem and still expect to be paid for it??free lunch?u call this free lunch? well i wld like to see u pay for a lunch and get food poisoning after that. would u be satisfied after that? AND YES THERE ARE FREE LUNCHES. U JUZ HAVE TO GO TO A TEMPLE OR SOMETHING. i heard soemtimes ppl go there to pray and also eat. i dunno coz i dun go to temples but thats wad i heard and seems plausible enough to me.

[innards]

wow... i am fully convinced now, some SBF forummers are just like those in Stomp. I'm glad that i provided entertainment for the above posters for the last 3 hours.

 

The reason i speak out, is because i frequent that shop, among many other shops. I go where i know i will not get cheated or conned, and i open my eyes when my bike is being serviced. Because i am pro-active, i have not had much of an incident worth raising hell over. I'm not an old bird regarding bike servicing and repairs, but i have own bikes for 15 years.

 

Look, my point is not to chastise the threadstarter. My intention is just to bring up the fact that there are 2 sides of the story to be heard. Say what you want, the rest of the posters, and remember to post something in Stomp to entertain me back.

Each and others have shop that they prefer. A man meat is another man poison.(dunno is it correct. ) We frequent the shop we have good impression and avoid those that don`t. So for us outsider, we can only advised and not accused. Hope this will not offend anyone.

ur point of views was extremely thinkable. i too was convinced. lesson learned.

for one thing, i will never pay $300 for a week's parking. period.

if the bike wasn't fixed, and he expect me to pay for his 'worksmanship', i will call a tow and tow it away.

dont think there's a need for both sides of the story for this particular case. i dont even care if he changed this and that and my bike is still unable to be in riding condition, then i will just ignore his claim. i dont pay for things a mechanic changed when i totally dont see a difference, let alone from bad to worse.

[Echo]

Apply to those who think TS is making a fuss here.

 

I think we should understand why the TS is going to a bike shop in the first place. Why? To repair the bike lah.

 

Instead of repairing, the shop is making the bike even worse, and suffer further damage. So why should we have to pay the further damages? Remember the consumers' rights.

 

Another suspicious point, the new part is made faulty because of TS bike? So what words should we made to believe that it is really the cause? Or is it the part is already faulty, and he is just 'claiming' from TS?

 

Please bear in mind, once the bike is towed to a bike shop for repair, any damage or fire, it is under the shop's responsibility.

 

I recall one incident, for scooterists, most of us will know wonderful motors. In one incident, someone vandalised by splashing paint on one of his customers'bike. you know what? in the end, he is paying for the re-spraying of the vandalised scooter.

 

Got the point? As long as the bike leaves your hands to a bike shop for repairs, the shop shall have every rights to make sure the bike doesn't substain further damages or repairs due to their own carelessness, mistakes or misjudgement.

if the doctor gave u a wrong diagnostic, you choose to believe him and he operates on you. after which, you realise the diagnostic was a negligent diagnostic, will you sue the doctor for making a negligent diagnostic or will u LL and suck thumb?

 

the issue is if TS can prove that the bikeshop is negligent and did not exercise the duty of care and skill of a reasonable mechanic, he can go to the court and fight.

 

remedies available will usually be in monetary compensation. you can also get the bikeshop to pay ur legal fees if you win

stomp is stomp

 

singaporebikes is singaporebikes

 

stomper does not give constructive comments and advices

 

singaporebikes forumer does, although some are rubbish advices.

 

like a stomper myself, i give useless comments especially to those drivers who park at bike lots and such.

 

in singaporebikes, i still give rubbish advices, but not all.

[Cpt.ZR]

well.. i don't think TS is making a biiiiggg fuss out here. But i think if the mechanic go and accidentally chao ta your a CDI that is bought for you, they shld at least bear the cost ma or at least chop the money from the mech what.

 

If the CDI fix liao then owner got and fry it, then owner pay, it is logical ma..

 

its just like u got KFC, order buddy meal, then the aunty drop the buddy meal on the floor then she say

 

"boy ah. $9 for the dropped buddy meal and another $9 for a new buddy meal from the oven"

 

If you hold the buddy meal walk back then accidentally drop it when YOU are holding it, then u pay for it nvm la..

 

so i think TS is not making a big fuss ma.. If the workshop charge him for workmanship, towing and storage fee still ok. But frying up all his parts.. I think the moto diam must at least replace some parts lor. at least replaced 2nd hand or refurbished one lo.

 

damn man.. at least talk to the owner nicely nego nego abit la. we bikers are nice people ma..

 

Wah! But now all his electronics "Chow Ta" because they took out the fuse...

His should be getting compensation instead.

Yes no doubt you got to pay for the Braces, even though the teeth still crooked, but shouldn't the dentist compensate for cutting off the tongue?

 

ya lo ya lo.

 

go dentist fix braces $X.. cut off tongue compensation + medical bill = $Y

 

so it shld off set some money what... Why some shops so damn no moral one huh.

 

Why cant they just be nice? do things openly, transparant, then you'll get loyal customers what...

KFC,Stomp,Dentist.....interesting thread...

[Constructicon]

I tot it is rather straight forward.

 

Well, if a bike's problem originate from the rider or from wear and tear. It's clear cut. Repair and replace, move on.

If the damage came from handling by someone else, then he pay.

 

How come I have to pay for someone's screwup?

[Constructicon]

The problem is whether the TS got the necessary black and white to support his case...

I think we have seen alot of apologies thread. It came when the rider and shop got a dispute, and the rider came to this forum to tell others of his unpleasant experience.

Turn out he/she do not have any solid proof and in the end was warned by the shop.

 

I think if TS got solid proof, he can go to the Small Claims Tribunal.
