BMW dealer in Cancun

I tried to have the 20 000 km service performed on my GS 650 at Mayan Motors in Cancun, supposedly an authorised BMW dealer.
After a whole day, and 5 000 pesos, they failed to change the fork oil, coolant or brake fluid (as requested); didn't replace the airfilter or plugs, as specified in the service schedule; didn't check or fill the battery. Finally they used some corrosive mix to clean the bike, and stained the wheel rims. Two weeks after complaining to Gabriel, the owner, I haven't had a reply.

The good news, Ricardo at Bikers Garage is an ex-BMW technician, is passionate about his work, and he remedied all the problems on a Saturday for just 2 000 pesos.

Rotten luck

Never much fun to read a post like this.
I am guessing that we have all had a similar experience somewhere, one which spurred me on to learn more about my 650 and carry out my own repairs even if I do take a bit longer- the satisfaction of a job properly done is hard to describe.
(yes it does mean a few more kilos in your pack but better that than the alternative)
