Hi,
Ernie, usually recommended by Glen from Flying Squirrel who is highly reliable.
So this is how it happened, I was taking an exit from 401 express to DVP when my tire got a flat, on closer examination i found out that the tire burst from the air valve area, i had someone stop and help me fill up some air while my friend came to my rescue, i drove the bike off the highway and left it at Ernie's house which is at < REMOVED >. He wasn't at home, so i left him a message on the phone to replace by tire, do valve adjustments and Carb Sync. Long story short, he calls me after a week and tells me my bike isn't carb syncing, i go up and check it out and it is as he stated. I said him it was working fine when i left it at your place. He told me he will have a look at it. After 1 week calls me and tells me the bike seems to be working now, come and pick it up. I came by with my step father, got the bike, paid him 340$. It seemed normal when i started it except that the Rpms were high...i literally live 1.5 Km from his place so i drove back and found the RPMs wont go down easily and the bike stopped as soon as i reached home. I called him and he didnt pick up.
Next morning the bike wont start, i tried everything and it wont budge, finally i put the bike fuel tank lever on prime and it started. I sorta figured the vacuum isn't working, so i gave him a call and explained the situation, he told me to drop it off which i did the same day. After that i called him 9-12 times including texts for 2 weeks and the guy wont respond, finally ****** off i went to his place and asked him whats the matter, he says i cant figure out the issue, your carbs are giving problem, so there is no point of taking your call plus i am working on others bikes. I said they were fine when i dropped em off, what can be the issue, he says i don't know, you might need new carbs. Astonished i tell him can you put the bike back, ill take it to another mech for a second look, he says that's fine and gives me the bike 2 days later. I took it to Ted from Rosey Toes and told one of his guys the problem and he immediately knew the Mech has screwed up the carb houses and he fixed it in 20 minutes by putting them all back and then he carb synced it for me. Cost me 200$, i came back to him and told him how it was and told him to refund at least 50$-80$ so i get some of the cost covered. He tells me to my face, i worked more hours on your bike then i got paid for, i told him well you screwed it up to begin with so it aint my fault to which he replied i cant refund you anything. All in all a waste of a month of riding, money and bad service. Unless its a tire change, dont go there.
