If you need to get your motorbike serviced, you want to find the best man – or woman – for the job. Whether it’s a simple tune-up, a few performance enhancing tweaks, or you’ve been involved in an accident and your bike needs a comprehensive rebuild, you’ll need to get a few quotes before you commit. 

If your motorbike or scooter is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, it’s a no-brainer. The best place for service and repair is wherever the manufacturer recommends.

When the warranty expires however, you’ll want to get the best service for the best price.

A lot of people prefer to stick with their trusty and reliable mechanic, particularly if they’re an agent of their bike’s manufacturer.

And it’s no wonder. Finding a new mechanic can be frustrating – especially if you don’t really understand what’s wrong with your bike. Afterall, how can you ask for something if you don’t know what you need? So you need to find someone you can trust.

If you don’t know what’s wrong with your bike you’ll need to take it to a workshop for an examination and a quote.

However, workshops are not all the same. Some workshops will specialise in certain types of motorbike repair services while others offer a broad range of services from simple roadworthy inspections to accident repairs and engine rebuilds. So it pays to ask upfront about the services they offer. 

Do your research, call around, and make sure you feel comfortable before your commit.
