Alex Motorcycle Mechanic

here is the deal, do not ever waste your time or money with alex. we took a 1987honda elite 150 that ran,! he said we needed a new engine but afterward, we would have ‘no problems’ $ 750 later we drove away and made it less than a mile before it broke down. took it back, waited two days, got the scooter back and it ran for a day. he burned up the battery and we had to buy a new one which is useless now cause we have no scooter. alex is a pure piece of shit. his trashy woman is crap herself. i will never stop trying to put these scammers out of business. never even think of going to alex repair shop. peace

Okay. I have a 74 Honda CB350. Pretty simple to work on. but I don’t have the tool or the know how. I take it to him because he is local and very close by to where I live (i.e. free tow). When I bought the old bike in for a tune up he found ALL kinds of things «wrong» with it. He charged a TON of money. but thing is. he took FOREVER. Plus. from the first time I brought it home. there were still problems. I had to bring it back there SIX times. SIX! over a 3 month period. It would seem to work for a week then no. Tow. Another week.not.tow. Plus. he sort of J-​rigs things. I bought a new part that he asked me to get. It was an original rectifier. His wiring I guess made it not work. AND he destroyed it in the process and used one from his scrap yard. The last time I went (and I swore I wouldn’t) I just needed a spark plug cable replaced. He didn’t use a new cable but spliced an old one AND for some reason found that I needed a new ignition coil (though bike was working fine before some jerk cut my cable). He fixed it in two days… I drove off​.nope​.no horsepower. He kept it another 9 days! Drove off. no horsepower. Said it was ready when he didn’t even test it. I turn right around. He’s all «I don’t know, I don’t know» and sorta making me feel like it somehow is my fault. I asked. is there gas in it (I came there with ¾ of a tank). OH OH no gas! Yeah, because you drained the gas to do whatever you were doing. His helper starts filling it up and I’m like. it need s bit more. He says «Not with gas prices these days». Um. I brought it here almost full. Anyway… I like to give locals business but now there’s some mysterious rattle, I dropped way more money than expected again, and it took forever as it’s my main transport. Never.ever.again.
