Motorcycle repair bill
Hi guys,
Some may already know (see my hello thread here) There's a little bit of insurance/council/legal action going on with it and I took my bike to a close-by motorcycle repair workshop (close to the place it was towed) and he quoted the $3'800. This was because it was an insurance quote and he did all kawi price stuff. Anyway, he said it costs $100 for the quote if I don't get him to repair the bike...? I don't want him to repair it (obviously, cause that price is outrageous) and I'm going to buy stuff of Tyga performance and do it myself, but should I be paying this $100 quote fee? Seem's a bit high... I thought most places were free (at least, that's what people have been telling me when I ask for advice)... Any thoughts? |

At my shop a diagnosis (figure out what's broken and such) is a 1 hour job and runs $80; but that's disclosed up front. If you brought it in and said "how much would it be to replace X Y and Z" I'd say you don't owe anything; if you asked him to figure it out then you did probably use a mechanics time (though if they didn't tell you what it would run before hand I'd say that's on them and as a matter of customer service they should give it to you).

Ah thanks man. That clarifies it a bit. He told me upfront (cause i asked) so I knew... but I thought later that it was a bit strange and thought I could weasel out of it haha.

Yeah, it's not so much "writing the quote" as it is "figuring out what to put in the quote" :P

She lives!!! Juicy has been restored to her (almost) former glory
 Much kudos to Tyga for their excellent/speedy service!! only took 3 days from order to arrival at my door. Just need to touch up the left side of the front fairing. Theres some really deep road rash (2 black strips long the edge where it meets the side fairing). Anyone know a good/cheap touchup guy in brisbane area? |
