The following are
estimated costs for usual services.

Tip: Usually a clean scooter is easier to work on and takes less time to fix.

Oil Change- $25 including oil
This should be done at least once a year.  I recommend having this done at the end of the
riding season before you store it for the winter.  While the oil is draining I'll give your scooter a
quick look over.

Carburetor Rebuilds: This is the place to start when trying to get your scooter running in top
condition.  A dirty gummed up carburetor will affect fuel flow and the scooter will never run right.

I completely disassemble and inspect your carburetor, clean the carburetor and passage ways
then re-assemble. I replace the float, float needle, and all gaskets. I inspect all the jets to insure
clean and clear of debris.  Any part that is found to faulty will be replaced.  The price of a rebuild
varies on the carburetor.


Basic tune-up: $179
This is where to start with a scooter that hasn't been running in a while.  The gas tank and fuel
tap are checked to make sure they are in shape and providing fuel to your carburetor.  The
carburetor is cleaned and rebuilt.  All cables are adjusted. The gear oil and spark plug are
replaced.  The tire pressure and tire wear is checked.  Suspension, brakes and lighting is
checked.  The scooter is given a test ride to make sure everything is in good working order.  
The customer will be called and given an cost estimate if any additional work is recommended or
required.
