Black Industry Motorcycle Shop

A solid pick for OBU swaps and routine scooter or commuter work in the east, especially if you want a mechanic who will talk you out of unnecessary spend. Keep all post-installation electrical concerns in-house rather than shopping around, and verify each line on the quote before approving. If you want a one-line decision: book Jovi for the OBU, ask Ah Meng or Ah Hock for the wrench work.

The lowdown. Motorcycle workshop tucked into a Kaki Bukit Rd 4 ground-floor unit in Bedok. Day to day, the bench handles OBU installations under LTA authorisation, tyre changes, fork servicing, magnetic coil and rectifier work, mirror swaps, and general scooter and big-bike repair. Jovi runs the front, with Ah Meng and Ah Hock on the tools. WhatsApp is the standard way in.

What riders say. OBU installs are the bread and butter, usually done in around 90 minutes with photo documentation as part of the LTA SOP. The mechanics talk you through the new unit before you ride off. Beyond OBU work, riders bring in tyres, forks, mirrors, and electrical jobs. Itemised quotes go out before work starts, and customers are called for approval if something extra turns up mid-job.

He looked into it and explained why I should not go with the specifications I requested.

Jovi gets singled out for the same thing repeatedly: chasing parts personally, suggesting cheaper options instead of upselling, and fronting up when something goes sideways. Ah Meng and Ah Hock are described as quieter but precise. The friction shows up around money. A handful of one-star complaints centre on perceived overcharging or wiring blamed for later electrical faults, and the owner replies in long, detailed paragraphs defending the work order.
