Good mechanic in Kolkata near Salt Lake / VIP Road?

l need a list of good and reliable mechanics near Salt Lake for my Suzuki Gixxer SF. I prefer to visit the Authorised SVC and wait for the service intervals to resolve any pending issue, but there are only two Suzuki Dealers/ Service Centres in Kolkata and the one I prefer is quite far from my place.

Hi guys,

Need some help for my RE 350. A few days ago, the self start has stopped working. My local mechanic says the Self Start Pinion is gone and the whole set (costing Rs. 4700/-) needs to be replaced. Is there a quick fix? Or shall I keep kicking?😑

It usually takes 15 days for the CF and registration depending on the RTO.
No advised to take the bike out without registration and insurance.
The showroom does the registration on your behalf and you would just need to visit to have the number fitted.
The RC smartcard will take a month or more to reach you but you will have the tax token copy available once the number is allocated.
Their is no temporary registration for users, it is only for showrooms to move the vehicle from warehouse to showroom.
Be patient, don't haste.

Lately the registration is taking an unusually long time based on which RTO you belong to. I recently purchased a Honda Navi for my dad from Dugar Honda and got it registered from the Salt Lake RTO. The entire process (from obtaining a temporary number -> CF -> Receiving Tax Token/ HSRP Slip -> HSRP Fitting) took around 1.5 months. There is no such 'Kolkata Specific' law. The Motor Vehicles laws are uniform throughout the country. Ideally and 'legally' the customer should not take delivery of an unregistered vehicle. What we usually do these days is that we take delivery of an unregistered vehicle and wait for it to get registered, which on paper is not at all legal. If any cops catch your vehicle without the Permanent Registration Number (at least the Tax Token, insurance papers and your PUC ; if not the HSRP is attached) you could be fined heavily. But we can't keep the vehicle with the showroom either. Who knows what they may try to do with it? Make it a test-ride bike ? KTM Trivandrum like incident ? So here goes the entire process (which changed quite a bit ever since the process became online). You will be called soon for a temporary registration number tax token which is valid for 1 month (previously they used a TC number in place but this changed). This temporary tax token and the number (usually takes 20-30 days for the showroom to issue you this temporary number from the date of purchase) is only meant for the vehicle to be taken to obtain the CF and not giving you a green signal to take your vehicle on the streets. Also, you cannot cross 100 kms on the odo before your CF; the RTO inspector loves to see that . You will receive an sms from the Vahan portal within 5-6 days confirming you that the showroom has applied for the Permanent Registration number and paid the Lifetime Road Tax. At this point, the showroom / showroom assigned agent in your RTO would call you specifying the date and time for you to be present at the RTO for the CF. Take a printout of the temporary 'TE' number, attach it to your bike and go to your RTO for the CF. Once done, the showroom will call you within 7-10 working days to give you your permanent road tax token with your registration number and the Celex HSRP number plate slip. At this point you can simply take a printout of your registration number, obtain a PUC from your nearest petrol punk and ride your bike without any hassle. The number plate slip specifies the date and time (usually within 2-3 days from receiving the tax token) for you to be present at the RTO to fit your HSRP number plate. After getting your HSRP fitted, you will receive the Smart Card from the RTO within 30-45 days. So in brief, do you need to keep your vehicle stored idle until you get your permanent tax token no matter how long it takes? Yes. That is the law. Unless you want to get caught and slapped with a Rs.3000 challan. The most you can do is just ride in the inside roads where there are no cops; just don't do it before the CF, not to cross the 100 kms barrier. It may be normal for you to cross the 30 days barrier of your 1st service cause of this delayed registration but the showroom won't make a fuss.
