Still in Las Heras
Was worried that most of the posts on this thread were quit old and that the information wouldn't be good anymore.
Not to fear the information provided is still correct and I will re-post here just to confirm:
Ariel Rodriguez
Bahia Blanca 625
Las Heras
Mendoza
+54 (0) 261 437 8591
Ariel is a great guy and an even better mechanic. I had two leaks in my gas tank (KLR650), one on the seam that bolts the tank to the bike. We came to Ariel and he was able to weld both, and they lasted me all the way to Ushuaia, and that includes the rather rough patches of Ruta-40 (couple hundred miles of gravel and rock).
He wanted to make sure the weld would hold and invited us back the next day for lunch and to check his work. Met the family and had epic Asado, not saying that this is a service that will come with all repair jobs.
A note to those that don't speak Spanish. Ariel does not speak English, outside of a couple of catch phrases, so make sure to look up the words for what is wrong with your bike and he will be able to get the picture, or take a dictionary with you.
Hope this helps people. If you need a mechanic and are in the area of this shop, it's the best place around.
