Big Bike Service in Hua Hin

Hi Buksida (and All)

Thanks for the feedback, will surely check them out

Just to repeat my question to All. I'm finally moving back to Thailand (adn back to Cha Am) after some years overseas.... will be back before end of year.

I've already moved by bike to Cha Am...... now am searching for the best place to service my bike (BMW S1000XR) especially since Motor Field has shut down in Samut Sakhorn. Buksida has recommended Siam Handlebar, adn I'm very happy to use an Independent Shop if they are skillful and attentive. Also happy to have other s recommendations too.

Thanks Buksi, Thanks All

What about Motor Ville in Cha Am opposite Big Kiang - I know they’re not a BMW agent but they deal with big bikes so may be worth a look? https://maps.app.goo.gl/gmXS1VqyecVpgG6 ... eview.copy
If you read the reviews section it’s very positive including one happy customer who had his BMW serviced there!!

Yes, forgot about those guys. There used to be Ducati and KTM in there, but it's only Royal Enfield left. I've taken a Kawasaki 650 in for a service, and they did a good job (the Kwaka dealership down the road wanted me to wait around for 5 hours and charged double.)

Yes, I popped into see these guys a few months back

Only Royal Enfield and Lambretta lookie likies

To me it seemed only have open, and the single staff seemed only half interested....... its a shame, this place was quite decent several years back.....

Would surely be interested to hear from others, maybe I went there on a bad day

You're quite right, most of the mechanics and equipment (and bikes) left when Ducati and KTM pulled out of the place. Now its just Enfield sales and a very basic service station. Shame as I also need my KTM serviced and those dash lights turned off ... will see what Siam HB can do.
