    Hello,
    I need to get my Honda Activa serviced. Please suggest a good mechanic around Maratahalli Area. I hate to get it done from Authorized service stations, as they do a water wash and spark plug cleaning and call it service
    With petrol rates increasing, the way my vehicle is drinking up the petrol I do not think I will be able to use it unless it is treated by a good doctor.
    Thanks

    ^ The best way to avoid any such incident and shaking your pocket later its better to get your bike serviced in front of you. I stop mechanic then and there if they do anything on their own.

    These are the initial list of mechanics based on xBhp members recommendation.xBhp is not personally associated with any of them.
    Hey guys plz beware of the mechanic Robert mentioned here. I've known him for sometime now. I got to know him through a friend when I bought my Karizma 2 yrs back and I've had couple of very bad experiences with him. Initially he was very good to me. Didn't even charge me for minor work initially. Later on started showing his true colours. I left my bike with him for servicing once (this was the first time I actually left the bike with him. I used to always wait at his garage before this, sometimes even for 4-5 hrs). When I came to collect my bike in the evening he told me there was a problem with the carburettor and so he had replaced it with a new one. He charged me Rs 1500 for that, apart from servicing charges. B*****d didn't even bother to inform me when I had specifically told him to call me and inform before changing any parts. He removed my brand new carb, my bike had done less than 2000 kms at that time.. Later on I met one other person who had a similar experience with him. Robert had changed his engine block in a similar way and didn't even inform him he had done that. My friend found out much later. Basically, he takes out ur original bike parts and replaces them with duplicate/old ones. And unless you are really experienced with bikes, u won't be able to make out the difference that easily, and when you do find out, it will be too late. His servicing and knowledge is pretty good so u'll be happy with his work initially but it wont take him too long to rip u off... So plz beware of him guys. Take care and ride safe everyone. Cheers!
    Btw, his garage has shifted from Malad to Kandivali now.

    Desperatesly wants a Good Mech in Hyd !

    Dear Friends,

    Plz advice someone who can fix & tune p220 in Hyd, last week I'd got servicing done @ PBK but seems those guys are only good for washing & wiping purpose. I even filled MOTUL 300V & asked Srikanth to tune my bike properly as mileage was coming for 22kmpl and tappets & chain was making noise while on slow move.

    Guys, plz help.

    Lazy to read through the entire thread to find out a gud mech for R15 in Chennai, can the mods look at creating a xl file where this info can be captured and it can contain
    1. Sr. No
    2. Location
    3. Specialist in (2 Stroke / 4 Stroke / RE / Superbike)
    4. Name
    5. Address
    6. Contact Number
    7. Referred by
    8. Other Info

    If these details can be provided it would be really useful, it looks tedious to find out the mech in a particular location for a particular bike.
    @ Mods- Any feedback on this

    Guys - Would appreciate your feedback, am sure most of you would be having lot of info

    TecTrack - Vivek

    Guys

    Tec Track Vivek (9841080084) doesnt do any servicing for any bikes, he only does performance silencers, he gives you life time guarantee and he also returns the full money if you are not happy with the performance, only issue is he takes 30 days to get the silencers done, not sure with the source of the silencers yet.
