Chillin’ at for some winter tune-ups.A few weeks ago, and it made me realize how important it is to have a good motorcycle mechanic. Ludwig’s insight is money: “Often people see their mechanic as someone standing across from them with their bike in the middle But it’s not something between us. We are standing side by side, and the bike is a problem that we have to approach together.”That also enhances mutual respect which should underpin all of commerce life in general. There isn’t a very long list of things worse than feeling like I’m begging people to take my money; and I can imagine mechs feel the same way about demanding/unreasonable customers why I could never be a waiter. ?Along that note, I also love that you’re going to take us into the mind of the mechanic in the next edition. Understanding also fosters respect.Write On & Ride On, because You’re Right On!
One thing I learned is you can’t always trust website comments or reviews. A bike mechanic in my area has endless gushing comments about how knowledgeable and courteous he is. After talking to him it was obvious the knowledge and experience was there, Courtesy? Lol I saw the opposite. In a 15 minute conversation I didn’t get ONE complete sentence or question in without him talking over me and interrupting.
His only concern seemed to be impressing me with his knowledge instead of listening. He is a mobile mechanic and allows and encourages you to watch him work which I would agree IS a really good sign but not willing to listen was enough for me to decline his services.
As for local,I will let a bike sit and or sell it before I let a mechanic I don’t know or trust touch it. I know very few bike or auto mechanics I trust. I do most work myself because of this. While it’s definitely true that you can’t always trust reviews, having reviews is better than nothing! But yeah, if a mechanic can’t listen to you After doing this post, I decided that listening is actually one of my top signals for a good mechanic: if they can’t listen to me prattle on about my bike’s history for at least five minutes, will they really care enough to do the work right?Thanks for your comment! Hope you’ll be able to find someone trustworthy the next time you have a big project that needs handling ?.
