First off , I'm sure there are lots of really good service shops out there with mechanics that really pay attention to there work. I know of at least two here on this forum but i am a gazzilion miles from any of them.
Having said that I had my s150 in for service at what really is known as a "very good too excellent" vespa shop in Montreal. Some swear by this place .. "the best in the city" ya right !
I brought in my scooter for several jobs. Normal oil change , brake pad replacement and too look at the battery problem with my clock.
Because of this awesome forum i started researching service procedures cause you guys seem too be able too show even a guy like me without mechanical skills do the simple work.
This is what i've found so far checking out previous work done on my scoot.
1. A nice scratch ( which was not there before service) on the headlight cover. Looks like when they took off the large screen it fell against the cover.
2. Brakes: One of the two washers that fits on the bolt that holds the caliper in place missing. Part no. 003058
3. The middle tab that hld's the headlight cover too the back cover broken right off.
This really pissed me off.
So guys just check the work before and after you bring your scooters to the shop that has a great reputation. Or even better yet start doing your own work. At least you will get your scoot back in the condition you brought it in.
Rant off.
