Warning of Touratech in Lima
Hi to all motorcycle travelers in South America!
This is my experience with Touratech in Lima: I got a set of new tires from them, and while there, I also asked for an oil change. The bill was a bit unpleasant: they charged 170 Euro for the oil change. The price of the oil was 45 Euro, and the filter costs 10 Euro in Europe. Say it costs 25 in Lima, that still leaves 100 Euro for the labour. This is an absolute ridiculous price for an oil change!
After complaining, I got 30 Euro back. This was by far most expensive oil change I had anywhere in North and South America, as well as in Europe and Asia.
I reported this to Touratech in Germany. First they ignored me. Later on they replied and said they have to check, but never came back to me and continued ignoring my emails.
This was the last time for me to deal with Touratech. I am happy with paying a fair price for a service. But I don't like to get cheated.
Go to any other place in South America for an oil change - it will save you 100 Euro.
