Go somewhere else! The first red flag is that he works out of his garage at home. The second is that he charges in advance of doing any work.
I told him my ZX14R skips at around 6,000 rpm since the lowering kit broke when I hit a pothole. The controller wires inside the tailpiece got abrasions when the tire wore through the plastic rear fender.
He said he's experienced that before, and it's always trash in the fuel pump. After a day, he calls to say the fuel pump needs to be replaced. Then he calls again the next day to say that the gas tank has a lot of debris and should have a thorough rust removal and cleaning. That takes days to dry out.
OMG, the price keeps going up but in for a penny in for a pound. After a few days, he calls to say it's ready. I ask if the test drove it, and he says he can't ride it that fast. I will have to come and pick it up and test it myself. Long drive to Conyers.
At only 55 mph, it still skips as before, and I've been too trusting and paid for nothing. When I call and tell him he says it's an electrical problem and he's not that good with electrical issues and I should take it somewhere else. DUAH!!! I told you that it was an electrical problem when I brought it to you. I still have the same problem after you made over $300. For all I know, you just kept my bike in your garage for a week and did nothing to it. I want a refund.
He doesn't want to give me a refund because of all the work he did. BULL SHIRT !!! You did busy work because of an overconfident yet mistaken diagnosis that I told you about in the first place. It ended without going to court or jail when I accepted a partial refund minus the price of an unneeded fuel pump. In summary, recognize the red flags and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more
