Honda Kad Luang

[james24]

My honda broke recently, the engine seized as there wasnt enough oil in it and it was overheated. I took it to the Honda specialist-sales shop at the top of kad luang market, just over the small bridge. They said it would take a week and the next morning called me to say it would cost around 5000 baht to be fixed.

I knew this wasnt true so went down there and asked why. When I got there they had completely stripped the bike so I couldnt take it home. I said Ill get parts myself you just fix them.

Constantly for the three days they had it the main guy kept calling up saying they found another problem. Id go check it out everytime, he;d tell me what, give me a price for the part needed, everytime Id get it myself for way more than half and he was quoting copies not originals.

Anyway I got the bike and all in all it cost just under 2000bt for everything. However the bike had never been serviced before so to my surprise when I took it to a family friend who checked it over to see what they'd done, showed me they had taken most of my original parts and replaced them copies. These are parts I was told had no problem

To top it off and Im sure this was on purpose he filled with gasohol 91 which Ive heard is not good for your engine and especially new parts. Oh I forgot to mention the bike now leaks oil too.

I would stay clear of this joker, I got completely done. He messed up my bike now, it runs like <deleted> and feel pretty stupid that all the parts I bought were probably for him and not the bike.
