good bmw shop in Merida, Mexico
I was recently in Mexico enroute to Cuba on the Stahlratte, starting from Nova Scotia. I carried down a couple 50/50 tires from Arizona not knowing what I would find in Mexico and knowing I wouldn't find anything in Cuba.
I got a 20,000 km service done in Merida for half the price it would have cost in Canada, at a bona fida BMW bike dealership. And I found out I could have got tires there too for my 700 GS as they sell them. Anyway I got my tires changed there for a great price.
I will follow-up with contact info but for now it is called Aleka Moto and it is on the road from Merida to Progresso, a little closer to Progresso and on the right side heading from Merida. Friendly, competent people. I also got a hell of a deal on a Nolan helmet that was too big for another customer.
cheers

BMW service in Merida.........
Hi Larry,
Thanks for the post. My wife and I are currently in Campeche, Mexico, and I was looking for a BMW service place in Merida and there was your post. We too are from Canada (Kelowna, B.C.) and hooking up with Ludwig on the Stahlratte for a Jan. 20th departure to Cuba.
I googled Aleka Motor Merida but, until I read your post, assumed they were in Merida not halfway to Progresso. I'll find them for sure and will have a few things done on my '07 R1200 GSA.
We're really looking forward to riding Cuba but I guess our lunch with Fidel has been dashed lol  ) 
Thanks again for your good positive information on Aleka Motor Merida.
Cheers,
Casey Boyle
