if your under warranty bike breaks down, please don't call boon siew and tow.

 

I called recently and the indian fellow confirmed with me 2 times, the towing is under warranty.

 

after the servicing, then when I want to collect the bike, they say need to charge towing fees, I reasoned with the manager said that the indian guy told me twice that the towing was free but in the end they said still had to pay.

 

please, let my mistake be a warning to everyone else, don't call boon siew to tow. :( :angry:

But just for information for the rest of us, how much does Boon Siew charge for Towing, because from what I know, Choong Kok Agency charges $30, while Bikebulance charges $25.

200 Miles Per Hour, No Hands... Damn That Would Be Cool Right Before The Part Where You Die...

so far the cheapest towing i've heard of will be $10. towing by Bike Dynamic Centre as quoted on the namecard of the boss. not too sure if they are flexible with regards to the destination to be towed to or would it be only to their workshop though. =P

I like him cuz he is very pro in his job. One of the few trucks in SIngapore that has the mechanical lift. I think he charged me $30 the other time. I called bikebulance but they refered me to him.

 

Another thing I like about him is he keep to his promise. He say half an hour reach means half an hour.

Don't come here and give me crap.

 

Who says when your bike is on warranty therefore you can get your bike towed for free?

 

You come here to post nonsense by quoting some Indian guy tells you this.

 

You ask your self some logical questions. Towing is one form of service rendered and repairing your bike is another matter.

 

What makes you think every 'ding, dong' service that is to be rendered to you while your bike is on warranty is TO BE FREE!:D

thanks man! they say that the battery is faulty. because maybe the bike sitting at the shop for too long? anyway can refund the $36 or not? battery faulty is the bike fault right?

Not true, if some warranty service rendered by the bike shop results in you having to return the bike to the shop via means other then riding it down, the shop should be responsible for getting the bike back to their shop.

Slowrider:Don't come here and give me crap.

Your logic scares me, does that mean that first day after u take bike out. ride onto highway then bike dies and cant start, its also your responsibility to pay for the tow truck?

Things done so far:

Brand new rear suspension, new rubbers in carbs, serviced carbs, double bubble windscreen, voltmeter, Pilot Sport tyres, Did o ring + VAZ sprokets, front brake pump, gaskets + waterpump oil seal, Maxima CoolAid, 2nd hand rear hugger, 2nd hand front brake disc, Fizz Power brake pads front and back, 2nd hand front and back rims, Yusa battery, Reconditioned 2nd hand carbs by Planet, Front sticker number plate, front wheel bearings, new clutch plates, fortuna paintwork sponsored by spastic driver, Keitin tank pad.

 

Need sugar mommy for : Hel brake lines and top end overhaul.

Wah i got this problem from the indian guy in boon siew.

Call up and ask if the battery(the meter turning 2 rds) is covered under warranty, he think for a while and ask me if i can still ride the bike to there, then the next day i got there and ask him if it is covered or not.

He tell me that the mech will check and need to charge my battery for 3 hrs to comfrim anything goes wrong, then after 3 hrs, the counter girl call me to pay up $12 plus.

I was stunned and ask how come i need to pay, the indian guy told me its the labour fee. Outside ppl charging $2-3 for charging battary.

WTF!!! Juz put my battery there for 3 hrs and collect $12 plus???

 

This indian guy in boon siew know nuts!!!!

Paid up and left!

 

lesson learned, dun talk to this indian guy cause he dun know anything.
