Excellent, experienced mechanic, helpful and speaks a bit of English. Good diagnostics skills, systematic and refers to manufacturer manuals for the fine details, which is very reassuring. If you're in Sucre pop by there for a quick once-over even if you have no specific worries.

I got a load if basic stuff done their including valves and the usual stuff like oil change, filters, etc. Niky also repaired the damages to my bike after a crash in Chile. So far the work he did has held up and I was very pleased with service and price. Niky seems like a really decent guy and he obviously loves bikes and takes his work seriously. Definitely a +1 from me.

Mechanic in Sucre, Bolivia
I echo everything said above. Niki carried out a routine service on our 2 x Honda CB500X in February 2017. He was incredibly professional and thorough with his work. We received a far better service than anything we have seen from Honda in Chile or Argentina. I would unreservedly recommend him to any overlanders passing through Southern Bolivia.
Niki speaks good English, and is straightforward and a pleasure to deal with. He is still to be found at the address above - walkable from the centre of town.
