Seven dollars and twenty cents

Just took the PCX to the dealer for the 1000 kilometer service.

Drove in, waited an hour, drove out. Did not get the valves checked - would have had to leave the bike and arrange rides.

Total cost for the oil change and service - $7.20 USD

Only in Thailand

Excellent! What else did "they say" they "did?"

Did you watch them? Yeah, "they say" they do a lot of things.

I was told all my aftermarket parts were installed and they just need to tune the fuel mix. When I demanded my PCX back 11 days after leaving it at the shop, I didn't observe any evidence of installation. When I asked for the parts back, I was told to come back Monday. When I called the police, I had my parts back inside of 5 minutes. Nothing got installed.

Be nosy, and be suspicious if they won't allow you to observe their work. Yeah, maybe you might get in the way, but this is a pretty pricey investment, and you ought to be able to see what's being done with your property.

Bobs, $7.20...even in Thailand that sounds like the cost of the coffee they drank while they talked about what to claim they did to your bike.

Good grief Valiant - that shop must have no competition and friends in high places to have such big popos. I hope you have an alternative.

That's pretty much standard. When I had a Honda Wave 100, a new spark plug, new air filter, and an oil change ran me 600 baht. That's about $18 US. And yes, I watched them do all the work at the local shop. $7.20 is about 250 Thai baht - the going price for an oil change.

I think the poster was talking about a basic service and you wanted something different. From the workshops perspective some work is hard, some is easy. Same for the customers.

Probably not the only basic service you can get for $7.20 in Thailand.

Speaking from experience ?

Nope, a basic service is no use to a man of my tastes......

Now there's a challenge; What would the Scottish sheep fashionista ride?
Well, we know the color obviously; white with a Blackface, and no horn is needed as both genders have 'em. Two-up is mandatory 'cause he'll want to ride with ewe.
And no self respecting ram would be caught dead on a Wolf, or a Cub, and they already have Flys. And if Kymco already has People - do sheep need 'em?
Well, we know he wants to look baaa'd so Aries tops his list, with a trunk for his coat, of coarse.
But what does he do if he finds himself in a Danish Landrace? Get fleeced? Nah, he'd probably just take in a Movie Downtown.
A ba dee a ba dee that's all folks!

I don't think it would be the sheep doing the riding...

Question is, will the sheep be in ATGATT?:

"How much is service?"

"$7.20. Less if you let me ride with your sheep."
