I've always tot he's not a good bike seller.

Looking at his selection and price-range, confirm not a savvy bike-seller.

To me, he's better off as a service workshop.

i agreed...

His technical ability is well commended.He knoes as and when which part of ur bike should changed.

[WildCard]

Although I must say I let him do mostly minor servicings and non-critical stuffs. Major engine works I have to go to someone more capable. In my case, its back to Kallang Cycle.

Been goin to his shop for over 4 years now. All i can say is that his service is good. Pricewise he is ok with me. (He just dun like people using his stuff to fix parts they bought sumwhere else or arrogant guys.) His advise and experience wise is . He rode my srad abit and he came back with all the faults in mind.

true.

Another thing is, they don't do reloan. only full cash for their bike.. To me, i feel planet is more of a service work shop..

ah chong - best at troubleshootin. good at Carbrator class 2 bikes, all class 2A bikes and all 2b bikes.

 

ah beng - best at repairing, wiring n etc. troubleshootin not as good as boss. good at EFI class 2 bikes n all other class 2a or 2b bikes. only lack of the good ability to do troubleshooting.. if not he surpass ah chong liao.

 

da mao or dua mao - same as ah beng. works faster but seepae chor lor.. sometimes nv pay attention to small things.. He is weak at class 2 bikes.

 

ah huat (the new guy) - he started wif zero knowledge.. can see he is pickin it up well.. so giv him afew years ? haha

 

wat they charged is ex compared to other shops.. but workmanship can sae is worth the cost. for example big bikes carburators.. to service cost 80 bucks.. but after servicing.. cfm feel the diff. n all the settins do swee swee. somethings cannot charge too cheap.. cos, too many ppl come.. n price needs to b raised at times.. the demand for them is there n some dun mind payin more.. juz like branded stuffs.. hw to compare to giodano or hangten all this brands ? quality workmanship.

the bike's nv was ah beng's.. it was all along mine.. haha he got his xr4 alwaes parked infront of my gsx4.. mayb u misunderstood ? hee

[sloth]

Sent my cbr400 there for last 2 years, and recently cbr900 as well. Both done by him. Cannot fight his "happy" service. Have not kena carrot even once yet. Best of all, you don't have to put up with any attitude. Going there brings a smile to my face, which isn't something I can say about some other shops.

 

Btw, I don't see the point someone raised about his "prices" sometimes high sometimes low, based on a bike he was selling. READ THE SIGN, it says "PLANET MOTORCYCLE SERVICE CENTRE". You don't go there to buy bike, you go there do your SERVICING.

 

Ah Chongism

You: My bike got sound, come from there (pointing).

Ah Chong: Sure not? (checks) Aiyah, got mouse lah! 500 I fix for you!

[WildCard]

Remembered why I stuck with him.

1 week after I bought my bike with him, my rectifier died, taking the battery with it. Desperate, I had it towed to a bike shop well known in this forum (I will not name the shop) becoz it has a very cheap towing charge. Checked and verified my rectifier was burnt out. A replacement cost me $250 (original Suzuki one for my bike).

1 month later after I overhauled my gearbox, at the advice of a fellow forumer, I went down to Planet to get my first oil change there. I came very early and was the first 2 customer with a Malay rider on his SRAD750 K2. While waiting for my EO to drain out, I looked over at the bike and overheard the mech testing and confirming his rectifier is a goner. New one? $180.

Curious, I asked Ah Chong how much for a replacement TLR rect. He told me, "Same. Ard $180 also."

Even with towing charges, its still a bigger bargain.

Well, the rest is history...
