Bike Shop in JB is it been honest?

[brolouis]

Hi people, i recently having my bike broke down in JB due to pumping diesel instead of petrol. Then went to the nearby 24hrs bike shop for servicing. Was told that my bike could not be repair within that day but able to in the next day. Reason was because he said there are some parts which they have to get it in the morning for my bike.

 

Knowing that i wasn't able to do anything but no choice to put my bike there over night. When asked abt the price it gonna cost me, the cashier said they would inform me and require a deposit of 100 ringgit for the servicing/inspection fee. Then the next day came, i dont even recieve any call from them and decided to call them myself and was told that my bike was ready. To my supprise , i quickly ask them the price and was quoted 450 ringgit. Well without my consent and agreement to proceed with that cost plus i wasn't able to argue with them on the phone. Keep speaking malay which i dont even understand. I was kind of worried at the moment.

 

I call up local bike shop and ask them was i been quote right for that kind of servicing. Was told that the amount they quoted was too much. And i could be able to get it fix ard 40 - 80 SGD in singapore.

 

Back in JB that night and start aruging with the boss. He insisted that i paid that amount or he will retain my bike until the payment is been made full. I was ofcouse very unhappy abt it and report my case to the nearby police station. And guess what, the police ask me to drop off the case and insisted that it was my fault for leaving my bike in their hand in the first place. Seem like blaming you for falling in their trap instead for not been able to make sure if it safe or trust worthy. And threaten that the case could drag on and wonder when will it be resolved and me getting my bike back from him.

 

Eventually, needless to say. I pay and Fxxk off. Well, for the reason why he quoted me 450 was becasue he said he took out the engine and clean it off. And also blame me for not comfirming the price with him in the begaining instead of with the cashier. Lucky he never quote for thousands. And also he mention that he have bike shop in singapore too and know the market price and claiming i would be quote even as high as $800 SGD for such servicing.

 

If after reading all this, and you guys still think alike the police officer, then i got nothing to say. After all it my first time owning a bike.And last sorry for my poor english.

The shop is Hyper Bike... manage by one malay boss. Near city square JB.

[kucari]

dun worry u r not alone...i have my fair share of carrotment oso once upon a time...

jb ah boy...overhaul and change some things..cost me rm 1k plus..

in the end the engine no difference whatsoever,even feeling and sound the same,and the speedometer changed is faulty...nobody else to blame but myself for being gullible and leaving my bike for a few days...

[jacky80]

Pardon for saying these, i know jb is cheap for service but dont save just the sake of half of it. Go sg reputable shops n service it.

[Blahhh]

Hmm.. hyper bike.. the shop sounds v. familiar.. the boss' name is Ah Zul? Shop's beside jalan wong ah fook's shell station?

[sutharsan]

i think we all need to be more careful next time.

i tot cheated once by jb ah boy.

[brolouis]

Yes that right. The boss is Zul, the one who is servicing my bike. Friendly at first but once your bike is in his hand, attitude change ... it a gangster shop i would said. But the worker are real nice and friendly and even try to help me out bargaining the price down.

that shop was the first shop i serviced at on my virgin ride to jb.. had an accident and my engine was all messed up. I sae dey did a pretty good job restoring my kr engine back up to standard. But dey messed up my handling pretty bad. It will sway left and right. Took my bike for "testing" but dey didn't tell me the handlings' all messed up at all. I guess it was oready 4am + and dey juz couldn't b bothered.

 

Needless to say, dat was the first and last time i will go there.
