Ban Hong Geok Kee Co

Good fit if you want a no-frills neighbourhood shop for a Yamaha scooter purchase, an OBU swap, or a general fix on a commuter bike. Less ideal if you want a fixed quote handed to you upfront on parts work. Call ahead, ask for the price in writing before they start, and you get the upside of a long-running shop without the surprise at payment.

The lowdown. Motorcycle shop tucked inside Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2, off Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5. Two sides to the business: a dealership selling new bikes (Yamaha NMax and XMax show up most), and a walk-in workshop doing OBU installs, servicing and general repairs. Open six days a week, closed Sundays.

What riders say. Sales is the calmer half of the visit. Ask for Xavier. Quotations come back transparent, deposits are honoured, and collections have happened inside a week for stocked models. Repeat buyers are common.

Workshop side is fast. OBU installation is a walk-in, 20 to 40 minutes, neat bracket work, and a small top-up if your stock bracket is short. Mechanics Guna and Seenu are the named hands. One Honda owner had a fault solved here in an hour after a year of dead ends elsewhere.

They know their stuff. Just tap the new IU onto ignition like old one to prevent battery drain.

The friction is pricing on parts. A few riders have walked away feeling the bill was higher than expected because the figure was only confirmed after the work was done. Get the parts price written down before you green-light the job.

• Walk-in OBU installation, no LTA appointment needed.
• Ask for Xavier for new bike sales, Guna or Seenu in the workshop.
• Inside Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2, near the expressway.
• Confirm parts pricing before authorising any repair.
