Bike repair chile or peru
Hello,
I've posted a question a while ago about doing some major mechanical repair in South America, but I never gotten any replies. I will try to be a bit more specific this time, hopefully that helps...
I will have to pick up my Honda Transalp XL650V at Valparaiso, Chile soon and it needs quite some work(cylinder overhaul, new clutch, bearings,...).
I can either do it in Chile or Peru. My questions:
1. Is labour much more expensive in Chile than in Peru? Any idea about the hourly rate?
2. Are mechanics in Chile more capable than their Peruvian colleagues?
3. I've heard Chile has high import taxes on parts, is this the same in Peru? Or are they easier over there?
4. Would you advise for Chile or Peru?
Thanks in advance
Kevin and Kitty
