Servicing In JOHOR

[petsbiz]

Hi to everyone,

 

may i know if its worth it to service my bike in Johor? If yes, can anyone advice as to which is a good bike shop to go to and of course the best way to get there.

 

Thanks and hope to hear from anyone soon.

 

Cheers!!

It depends on what bike u riding......and what type of servicing u refering....

[shahrul_azmil3]

imho ... no ...

 

the 4t there (made in malaysia) has a rough feeling ...

[Romi_ku]

maybe worth it for small bikes like kups... 2a/2 bikes imo, like not safe lei.

I guess even if its small bike I wont go there. Bike shops there love to add hidden costs and love to exaggerate problems. On top of that, i doubt the quality of the parts they are using on your bike, I believe they retrofit some parts which are not meant for your bike. ie. installing rxz stuff into your wr200 and etc.

 

 

Sometimes its more like you're paying to let their apprentice experiment on your bike, so any failures on his experiments would come from your pocket too.

sometimes u have to be extra careful when u're servicin,

the best thing is u must be around when they service ur bike.....

[tbackt]

my advice, make friend with the mech or the boss, then stick to one shop, if the mech know u already, u in friend friend with the shop, then can change this and that. how to choose the right shop? compare their engine oil price, some shop expensive, some shop selling cheaper. from there u know which shop want to ketok u which shop reliable.

[ya0s89]

u interested i can bring u go my mechanic, try their servicing there, frm there u can decide whether to continue doing ur bike there anot.

[KeraKing]

malaysia boleh!

go to the right shops and u wont be cheated..

its totally worth it.

 

there a lot of skilled mechanics there.

 

first u must understand if ur bike is popular there or not..

do they have original parts or not..

i like to buy parts in sg n bring to jb to fix.

Haha. I go there to service. Its a pretty ok shop, has lots of racing footrest n spare parts right. I last time wanted to mod my kr tail light to x1r, sg shop quoted me 85sgd. There? 70RM LOL.

 

If your footrest break, sg will charge around 90 for a yoshimura(one of the shittiest footrests imo). There? 110RM for an equally shitty one.

 

Just whatever you do, dont get tyres there, they are re-threaded tyres.

QFT. One very good thing to do is, while the service your bike or whatnot, stand BESIDE it with say, your hand on the seat and look very intently at what the mech is doing. Even if you know NOTHING, he will feel very uncomfortable(which is a good thing for YOU) and think twice before pulling any stunts.

 

If you see him do something out of the ordinary, dont keep quiet. Ask. He may dodge the topic, ask again. Yes, to many this can seem awkward to do, but remember mechanics are NOT your friends. Joke all you like with them, bring them go kopi and seesha even, but when its work time STRESS THEM.

 

This applies to all shops, not just JB. Remember, awkwardness and shyness dont mean crap when you go home with full of REGRET.
