Leong Seng

[chipmunk]

Hey guys. Did a search on this particular motortiam and didn't find anything much. I went bike-hunting not too long ago and paid Leong Seng a visit. Boss seemed friendly albeit a little weird and clumsy(he almost tripped and fell when he walked hurriedly to attend to me). Has anyone had any experiences with this particular motortiam?

A friend of mine got a bike from this shop last year ... they quoted him details like OTR price, downpayment and interest rate .... but in the monthly instalments, they factored in an "agreement fee" without informing him ... when confronted, they claimed that since the purchase was not in cash, they needed to charge an admin fee ...

 

Of course my friend was partially at fault as he should have done some calculations on the monthly instalments to verify that there were no hidden costs. But still, I dislike the way they levied the charges without informing.

 

If you are getting a bike from there, just verify all the computations before signing on the dotted line

My experience wif them is quite ok. Got my bike there recently. Did a complete breakdown of the price of wat is being costed. Quite ok i would say. Cheers!!!

Thanks for the comments guys. There's a strong likelihood of me getting a bike from them. Keep the comments coming.

 

Btw, are they in any way related to De Xing?

I got my SP from them also the boss are ok, and as what misterbean mention take note of those hidden charges. I have to say certain parts service they charge are quite high. They are one of the few who use a chart where all the charges are being written on it when U request and made payment.

 

Another time is the apprentices which they have be there to watch them how they do your bikes. Not much confident with their workmanship when I was there the other time.

Where is this place by the way?

 

Do they specialise in anything?

[kawi71]

They located at alexandra village. Dun have the address. But i think they at the old southern motors previously. They dun really specialize in anything in particular just tat the boss quite nice. His sales person bryan very helpful. Will breakdown all the cost if you need.

He quoted me an FT plate SP for 2.4k machine price. He calculated everything on the computer right in front of me and after adding everything in, the OTR price was 3k. He didn't factor in any agreement fees. Luckily my friend asked him about the agreement fees and he said it was $250 and said that it can be added into the OTR price. After adding that in, the price of the FT plate SP was $3250. Still reasonable compared to other shops. I guess it's their practice not to include agreement fees into the OTR price.

i have this way of dealing with bike shops.

 

go in, tell them how much dp i intend to put. tell them which bike u want, get the total bike price with everything added in, and ask for how much u gotta pay per mth. so from the amount u gotta pay per mth, u actually get the total amount. and calculating the interest etc will be easy.

I bought all my bikes from tis shop . Service is good . But servicing wise , if riding big bike , best dun go there cos they dun have proper tools to service some big bikes .

 

The boss is very nice in fact . He was the onli person who impressed me wif his attitude when i 1st bought my TZM from them . No airs abt him , even tried his best to find the new millenium model for me when it was very rare liao .

 

Mechs there very friendly too . There used to be a guy named Ah Kang there oso not bad , n oso a babe at the payment counter above .

 

The guy wif golden fringe oso very good , but long time nvr c him liao .
