India, some recommended workshops

[martheijnens]

I ride a BMW F650. Where to go for maintenance or repair with your BMW or other foreign motorbike in India? Forget Deutsche Motoren in Faridabad and Navnit Motors in Mumbai and Bangalore. A complete waste of time: no spare parts, no tools, no competence, no service. In stead go to authorized Royal Enfield dealers: well equiped, competent mechanics and excellent service. Listed below the workshops I have visited and had good experience. *

Kay Tee Automobiles, authorized Royal Enfield dealer in Delhi near the airport. Coordinates: N 28 32 776 E 077 07 545. They mounted the tyres I had ordered myself, repaired the exhaust and cleaned the carburator. Good service. Thank you Kay Tee Automobiles. *

S.K.Y.S. Automobiles, authorized Royal Enfield dealer in Aurangabad. Tel.: 0240-2350652, 0240-2340352. SKYS replaced the steering bearings which were damaged on the rotten roads of India. As Kay Tee: competent, good service, friendly and helpful. Thank you too. *

Rajasthan Auto Centre, Sanjay Bazar, Jaipur. Coordinates: N 26 54 954 E 075 49 520. An okay workshop for simple maintenance and minor repair. Helpful and friendly. Thank you too. *

Krishnan ("Hari") Narayani of Yesgeor Motors, Chamaraja Double Road, Mysore. Tel.: 0821-2330070. Coordinates: N 12 18 142 E 076 38 696. Hari was recommended on the HUBB by Vincent Dana in 2004. Hari replaced chain and sprockets in the way it should be done: not by opening the chain but by taking off the wheelbridge. Good guy, competent, helpful and friendly. And for Hari: thank you, if I need a mechanic in the southern part of India I will come to you again.
