it seems that help is slow in replying with referrals from experience.
Lacking that also I would suggest checking /Google for repair shops in Cancun of which there are a few.
Your choice may depend on what exactly you need repaired. What parts are you bringing ?
If it is a simple generic kind of job of replacing some part most any bike repair worth the title should be able to handle it. A full on engine rebuild might be best handled by a bigger bike garage or dealer for your specific brand .
Be clear in your explanation to the mechanics of what you want or need to have done .

Thanks

I have a guy that I met after I returned from Cuba, but I am not getting a good vibe.
I always enjoy your threads and posts.

Question Seeking Storage in Playa del Carmen/Cancun Nov 2019

Howdy,

I am flying back to FL from Cancun and seeking secure storage for my 2012 Triumph Tiger 800XC and gear for the month of November 2019.
I haven't called a couple of Storage Facilities I found on Google in Cancun yet, but have just spied your comment '.....storage.....' above.
Any recommendations?
Cheers
ATXC

Playa

[QUOTE=AussieTigerXc;605179]Howdy,


Any recommendations?
Cheers
The shop that serviced?(Lousy job) my moto offers storage for 2000 pesos a month is in Playa. I ended up using a friends rental and parking it in their courtyard, If you can't find anyone, I would look at moto dealers in Cancun for storage. 1 month shouldn't be an issue, carefull not to expire TVIP permit.
