Description of service
I had a problem with my starting switch; hence I went to a local service center to repair the switch. They told that there had been a problem with the starting brush and the starting brush need to be changed since they did not have the same brush of my model they fitted the brush of lower version.
I have had the problem for a week and had to kick start the scooter to start it and the switch was not at all working hence I approached the workshop where they asked me to come after two days and after two days they got it repaired and said that the scooter is ready to use. They have serviced my scooter and changed oil in addition to changing the starting brush. The service was ok but I haven't got it repaired completely as I still had to press the starting button three or more times before it would actually start.
When I asked about it they said that they did not have its original starting brush and it would work properly if the original brush is fitted. Hence I gave my scooter for repair again to replace the starting brush with the original brush but still had the same problem. They charged for the starting brush $ 20, for the oil change $25 and all together they charged dollar 75 for their services and miscellaneous repairs.
Review of Service
I have got my scooter repaired two months back at a local service center. I thought that I could save money giving my scooter to local repair center as I found the repair in the actual service center very expensive. But I feel that I have made a mistake doing so as the local service center usually don't have the original spare parts.
I would say that the services where ok but not perfect they where able to repair the fault but couldn't solve it completely. After the repair I was able to start the scooter using the starting button but couldn't start it with one touch and have to try a number of times to start the scooter.
I would say that they have solved the problem and I could start the scooter after the repair which was not possible before the repair. They have also changed oil and serviced it and I found that the services was fine and the scooter was smooth while riding after the service but the problem had been with the starting switch which still have a slight problem for starting smoothly. The price charged for the service is reasonable and not very high as compared to the original dealer and service centers.
