either place.....

talk to Ken at Bkwaka or Mick at PB about the service
and get them to go thru what gets done

in my opinion..... both will look after you
(Ken knows you are a KSRC member??)

cheers

(Ken knows you are a KSRC member??)

yeah went in to the shop last sat and spoke to him

, will call them both to check prices i think ,but then i reckon it's really hard to compare just pricewise, some might do more than the other

thats why i said..get them to go thru with you what the service actually entails, so at least you know what you are paying for

IMO
you get what you pay for with ken.
if he knows ur KSRC he'll look after you price wise, and service is second to none.

And avoid Gassit at Fairfield like the plague, no big fan of Cosways either... me thinks i'll just bite the bullet and go B Kwaka from now on.

I don't know where you are coming from... (suburb) but I have found the place to get the bike done... either servicing, tune up work or Hi Performance mods is Dynoverks in Boronia... its a long way from my place in Noth Melbourne but I make that trip every time I need work done.

The Head Mechanic (he is the one with scuffed knees) Dean, was Gobert's mechanic and is a bloody champion. I don't think there is a problem I haven't seen him work out.

They are at 62 Wadhurst Drive Boronia and they have Tex's Great Big Elephant stamp of approval.

(they also have a nice loan bike for those who need it...)

PS> They LOVE Kawi's

and have the KSRC sticker placed on the counter..... Tell them Tex sent ya!

I come from Coburg so that's why I preferred the city or Fairfield. Close to home but if the job is shite then it's worth going a bit further I guess... and will from now on, loaner bike is handy as the prob with some of these places is that I drop the bike off then have to walk a mile for a bus/train/tram.

Oh, I know all about public transport and how it sucks the big one...

Depending on the work done, I know that I have had the guys from Dynoverks pick up my bike either early morning or late in the evening.... They really go the extra mile to help.

I'm from coburg too, which is why my bike recently went to cosways (close and easy), and well yeah needless to say, i'm not going back there in a hurry... next time i'll try Don's Motorcycles in epping, a mate no a zx2r has had lots of work done, and the mechanics there did a great job. They're not kawasaki specific though...

just make sure u dont go to that cunt from bikes and bits in brighton

hidepenny · Post by **hidepenny** » Fri May 05, 2006 12:54 pm

thx alot guys for the helpful info, i'll try performance bike next friday and will do my next service with brighton and see how they go i guess, since everyone's experience things differetnly.

i'm not a big fan of customer service and all that, as long as they keep the bike in its best possbile condition, ya know all machainics are blood sucking mossies
