Hi all,

 

Went WONDERFUL!!!! to service my amalfi on sat....really wonderful!!!!

This is my 1st servicing for my 2nd hand bike, so dun know wat maintenance did previous owner did. Told Botak about it and he dismantle to examine the belt, sub component..etc. He even wash and clean the "gear box" and every dividual parts.

Meanwhile i also gain more knowledge on my x9 with his explanation. Beside this,

he solved other problems....

 

Total i spent $287 for belt, roller,u shoe, front brake pad, engine oil,oil filter,u shoe,spark plug, brake switch, worksmanship....

 

Now, I'm very happy with my bike.....smoother....quieter.......

 

All thumbs up for BOTAK!!!!!!

I would like to recommend 'Soon Motor', which is at Blk 1069, Eunos Ave 5 #01-185. The people there are friendly and things i done to my bike was quite cheap.

I changed my front tyre, rubber mounting and have my oil meter done for $140.

rubber mounting???? you riding what bike???

[leaa]

is it a china made product

[Elton]

Botak is a good and friendly person. He has good knowledge too as compared with some big newly shifted or opened motortiams. The place is shabby but who cares about how the place looks like? you are not there to have your romantic dinner right? Cheaper doesn't means good.

Just remember this, Price, Renown, Knowledge.

nothing is the same in all shops. for some shops i would add in ethic (don't know got spell wrong anot)

 

its your choice.

i have edited what i have commented before. So if any one wanna comments, pls go ahead, atleast others will not come to me again

[xavi1999]

Went to tai hin before, the boss is quite frenly with no attitude problem and airs.

 

But the price i think is a bit higher than his competitors. Change my x9's belt, roller, u-shoe, air & oil filer, engine oil, spark plug, head light on/off switch, left headlight bulb and coolen water for $320.

 

Looks like wonderful motors is worth a try. But there always got a lot of pros, pple might misunderstood you go there for different reason, Lol.

[cure75]
