Agreed.

Why can't all bike shops have a good attitude and charge reasonably, then we will bring friends and customers to them...

Some shops are really black... sigh.....

Btw, where to get cheap accessories like bike cover and shampoo....

Used to serivce my ex Hexagon there, always went to look for the old mech. near the vending machine. Saw he sericving all kinds of bikes b4. To me, he is skillfull enough lor. But he mostly deal bikes with heavy maintaince or overhual lei so very difficult to wait for him. Saturday is not a very good day to go as there is alot bikes there waiting too. Best is to go during office hours. But beware that his comunication is not those friendly kind due to each person character but he is still the best to appoach. Just talk to him nicely that's it. There is once that he warn me of my tire but i thought he was toking about something that is not right until i reach home and check that my rear tire ,see got a blister kind of thing on it and i regreted not to check or ask him there. My advise is to go have a try once and if is not up to your expectation, change others shop.

 

Could oso check with skoot cos i think he brought his bike there.

[leaa]

yap...need to speak in "ah beng" style and try not to argue with him.

can check with the assistant, if you don't like him.

 

so far did not find any price lower than him.

 

he also open at chinese new year bussiness never stop

[paulder]

maybe can put this up as sticky?

 

by the way maybe the experienced bros can put up some shops which operate on sundays? cos my experience tells me sometimes we do need emergency help on sundays where most of the shops dun open..

[leaa]

Yap....hope it will be stick up...how do we do that

Together we can fight the evil chopper...

[paulder]

not only evil choppers but those shops who like to hide details until when you are pressing the nets machine den wondering why you are paying so much.. and the bike got problem some more..

Just changed my engine oil and rear brake pad at HKL in jln bukit merah lane.

All include labor charge. Should be lower than market rate. Will report more after more servicing there.

What about Planet Motor at Ubi. I have been servicing my bike there for years. But I'm not too sure if they are overcharging? But I know it's always very crowded..
