Mechanics Prices

[NC]

Hiya :D

Does anyone know who is the cheapest machanic in the Wellington area. sigh I need some work done.

[James Deuce]

There's no such beast.

You mean best value for money don't ya? I have a good relationship with the Sawyers/Motorad crowd and I find their servicing prices competitive and their attitude very good. I would suggest ringing around and getting a verbal non-conditional idea of what you could expect to pay if you know precisely what it is you need done.

Maidstone in Upper Hutt are regarded as good value by some on KB too.

Don't forget some plumbers tape for those foot pegs. :)

Spose I should just fork out the seventyfivemotherfucken dollars an hour! :no:
I just can't justify it, I paid $50 an hour in Auckland :(

[Firefight]

I actually know how you feel, but every time I try to come over all "efficient" and do my own servicing I end up spending about $600/hr to pay someone else to fix the $1800 worth of damage I caused undoing the oil filter. Hence the cheerfully fatalistic approach to paying someone $75/hour.

[cliffy]

do you know what the machine in question requires as i may know a very skilled person who may be able to help at a reasonable rate.

[WINJA]

Hiya :D

ARE YOU GETTING LIPPOSUCTION ?

Depends on the type of 'service' you're looking for doesn't it. I'm sure many are prepared to put out for free. Oh, you mean mechanical repairs, well that's going to cost $$$.
I seem to be on a permanent drip feed from my bank a/c to bike shop. No wonder I can't feed or clothe the kids. Shoes!! I can't afford to get you shoes can't you see these cool bike accessories I got instead.

Randal Savage up at Twin Cam (Kapiti Coast) charges around $50 per hour.

He sorted a few bits out for me on the XJ550 before I came up and got it and was quite reasonably priced for the amount of work he did on it

Yeah, I'll let you know so you can have it implanted into you're pathetic excuse for a penis.

You can't undo a oil filter? Cute!

:rofl:

[Patch]

Hey NC, ring Richard @ Richard's Motorcycles in Johnsonville. I've never had a problem there and he is always happy to help

or

the town library has workshop manuals :D tis what I usually do, cause I'm too damn tight to pay someone else unless I really really have too, which isn't very often.

Good luck

Poor bugger i'm at the opposite end of the scale.....huge cock but a paltry 75kg [ and thats with the coke bottle glasses and the steel cap boots].
However i use a complex series of pulley's, ropes and a 200kg pendulum to ram home the good news

From memory TSS in Alicetown are very reasonable.

[pete376403]

"Beware of bargains in parachutes, brain surgery and mechanics" - you usually get what you pay for.

[Hailwood]

TSS Motorcycles in Alicetown are absolutely fantastic. $45 an hour and damn good guy to deal with. Don't muck about with anyone else......

[madboy]

[sels1]

Randal Savage up at Twin Cam (Kapiti Coast) charges around $50 per hour.

And sometimes does little things for free (for his regulars....)

[TSS Red Baron]

We are know $55 + gst per hour as we have recently imployed a new workshop manager with 27 years experiance,he also knows how to talk to people as his last job was the head tutor for WELTEC M/C mechanics & engineering courses,if anyone wants to talk to him ask for Barry ,Remember we also have afree motorcycle pick up service any where in Wgtn, Porirua & the hutt valley . :yes:

[gav]

Hope your workshop skills are better than your spelling......... :nono:

[Velox]

Ok so what are the other hourly rates around Wgtn? I lose track of them.
TSS - $55 What are the others?
I reckon it's fair game to post them (esp for us students).

[250learna]

$60 at moto mart, they have yet to fail me :clap:
top guys, very helpful

[TSS Red Baron]

cant spell very well but the service is 2nd to none and you can take that to the bank,if its any comfort NO I DONT WORK ON THE BIKES,we have 3 great mechanics to do that.

[TonyB]

[bkrwench]

Motormart in the Hutt opp parrot & jigger 50 or 55 an hour for mechanics

[Racey Rider]

woodworking skills?..........never mind :whistle:

Yes. Well done! I missed it the first time round, but now I got it. :clap:

(PS. When I say 'I Got it', I don't actually mean, I Got It. But more that I understand it. Because if I had of 'Got it', I certainly woodn't be telling You lot about it!!)

[White trash]

Nor would you want to.

[Sparky Bills]

I suggest Motomart too!
Good guys (especailly on the Parts counter).

$60 hr labour in W/shop.

[TSS Red Baron]

Thanks for that, I thort it may be something serious.

My advice(for what it is worth as I don't use mechanics if I can help it) Go with who other people say are good value. Don't go with cheapest hourly rate, you can often pay more because they take twice as long.

If you have a choice between two places go with the easiest for you eg. walk to, free pickup etc.

I need to change my oil real soon too (as usual) so if you want to save some $ we could have an oil changing arvo. Dunno how long they'd spend on doing it at the shop though.

[raster]

Bring it up to AK and I'll do it for you, sorry, can't do free pickup and delivery :drinkup: hic!!! sssiorrry
