garage bounkhaila, rue essalame, n28*26'19" w011*05'24"
primitiv but eficient and enough spare parts for LR

Layoune,
Lucas spares, spare parts shop for LR and Toyota, the owner knows all the garages in town

Was looking for a good garage in Laayoune, and after a lot of circling around this "quartier mécanique" found this garage. It isn't actually called Lucas spares (unless you meant another garage altogether) but a poster with this name hangs on a wall here.

The garage is called Extratec, and is run by Mohamed the chef. N27 09.226 W013 12.336. Mohamed dispatched an assistant to help me chase the parts around town. Once the parts were sourced the job was done quickly and professionally. Repair of the clutch slave cylinder on a Toyota HJ61 - took 30 minutes, cost 250 dirham plus repair kit (30 dh) and a bottle of brake fluid another 30 dh. Photo of the garage attached.

I then changed oil and filters at a no-name garage around the corner. My filters, oil 160 dh per 5l, job 40 dh (including blowing the air filter). There are dozens of small garages around the area, and after looking for parts with a local mechanic I think I know every spare parts shop in Laayoune.

Why did i not change oil at Extratec? They only do Motul, and it's 68 dh per litre.

Yassine Auto Diak (23°41'41.4"N 15°56'22.3"W) is a great resource. Guy knows everyone you need in town, got me coolant, matching spark plugs, a guy to look at my radiator, copies of our bike keys, a relay for my friend etc. He is an electrical guy by trade but he has a lot of mechanical knowledge as well. He also has a friend who owns a moto shop who did the majority of replacing my cylinder, piston and head. Just go to him and he will sort you out

Here you have an updated list of places where to get a vehicle repaired in Morocco and Western Sahara.

Suzu Baarik in Missour is very helpful, and easy enough to recognise running around in his ancient green Renault (see photo). My CB500 reg/rec fried itself last year (the only spare I'd given the much consideration to taking, and didn't!), but I was back on the road with a brand new replacement within 45 mins thanks to him. I don't have a phone number or address for him, but he can be found on Facebook.

If someone needs moto mechanics in this city here are two addresses I used in the past

Meknès Cycles

23, bd Idriss II
MEKNES
Phone: 05 35 52 28 01

This is the oldest moto shop in town. Generally known as Tomazino. Name of original owner who was from a foreign country, cant remember which. The gentleman who took over has been there forever....and is very knowledgeable. They mostly do chinese bikes now but they can help and they can fix stuff and make things work. I remember years ago, this is the spot where I go to check out XTs, Suzuki PE, RM, Quads, the cool stuff!

I have a friend who used to service his bmw there (chain, tires, fork oil, oil change, carbs, etc.) if you need help finding the address, locals know the place as Tomazino. I used him to service my 650 that refused to start, he got it running and checked/adjusted valves. He asked 350 DH. A bit steep for local market but I was happy work was done and his employee cleaned the bike thoroughly. It was really dirty from Ait Bougemez mud and dirt. I ended up paying 300 DH.

The other one is:

Cycles Marhraoui Tayeb
39, bd Hassan II
MEKNES
05 35 52 29 35

Picture of original owner (ex boxing champion) his son is the one in charge now. Went here once to buy a battery for my Kawasaki. Even though parts for Kawasaki were not readily available (brand is not officially imported there) he managed to get me a battery that worked. He mostly does scooters and small bikes but was willing to help. Also bought a moto chain/lock, I was worried about the bike, decent quality for fair price.


these two shops are not far from each other in downtown Meknes. If you are there try to check out Cinema Camera, about two blocks from Cycles Marhraoui. A beautiful Art Deco monument. One of the oldest movie theaters in the country. Go inside they are happy to let people see the architecture and ceiling inside.
