Blown head gasket on a GT200 repair quote from Vespa Cape Town R9067,00
And I thought KTM & BMW smoked their socks.

Took a visit, numerous phone calls and eventually threats and escalating to management and 5 days later I got the quote. Reasons like they were busy doing insurance quotes and finally the group service manager explaining they are training a new person and everything she does has to be checked because a premium service provider like Vespa can't risk sending out an incomplete quote.

Any other recommendations of who can pair my Vespa in Cape Town? Servicing I do with Stan at African Buzz in Obs but he is reluctant to go where He isn't confident.

A plug for African Buzz scooter repair. Stan runs a small but professional scooter repair workshop in James Street Obs, specializing in Kymco and other eastern scoots. Personal service, attention to detail and great communication with clients as well as reasonable pricing makes him a pleasure to deal with. Add to that he rides a BM800GS.
