Let's face it we love our bullets more than most of our relatives. In fact everyday when I kneel in front of it (to check the oil, tyre pressure, chain or brake slack people confuse the ritual with praying. And praying it is, for another day of joyous ride.
So everytime I had to take my bull for maintenance it made my heart ache tranferring my love to someone else's care.
With time I have developed the art of maintaining my Bullet. With time I have also developed a circle of mechanics who I can rely on. Why a circle? you might ask. Is one good mechanic not enough. Plain answer is no. Like in the case of every doctor, lawyer or banker you need a second opinion.
So I am listing down my tried and tested mechanics around NCR. In case you have any more to add do inform and I'll add them in my poll list. if they recieve enough positive polls I'll review them too.
A word of advise, always treat your bullet mechanic with the respect they deserve, be friendly with them and they'll really take care of your ride. Otherwise you are just another job to be gotten over with.

Sanjay mechanic review

Sanjay mechanic

Karol bagh has sporadic growth of Bullet mechanics all over the place. Due to this it gets quite difficult to select mechanics for review. My main focus has always been mechanics who can provide complete solutions at one place. Sanjay is one of them. In fact the 200 metre space around him can be considered as the essence of the complete Karol Bagh motorcycle market.

Natraj Royal Enfield Review

Natraj Royal Enfield

On the left side of NH8 in Gurgaon is your trusted Motoradd Werkstatt . On right side of NH8 in the old Gurgaon you still have Royal Motorcycles. However what do you do in case your cruiser gives up on the NH8. In that case the only option that you are left with is Natraj Royal Enfield. The place looks like a typical roadside rig with four brick walls, bamboos supporting a flex banner and an assortment of unmade Enfields. The proximity of crematorium and the dead Bullets in the shed might seem like an inauspicious omen to some. Though pushing your Bullet to any other nearby mechanic might lead to more inauspicious results. Better stay and you might still have your ride ready for the road.

Gurdial Auto Engineers review

Gurdial Auto Engineers

Whenever people talk of Bullet mechanics in Karol Bagh two names come to mind. Lalli Singh and Gurdial. Both names are synonymous for good quality work, honest people and reasonable prices. They are also synonymous for cramped quarters, overcrowded shops and foreign tourists but we'll touch those points later. It was their age old heritage and longer than Qutb Minar list of illustrious clientele that drew me to them.
I first tried finding out about Lalli Singh. It was not very hard to find their shop but then it was a shop that rented out motorcycles and not repaired them. Their workshop was on the other end of the market, in Gali no. 4. When I did wade my way through the myriad of motorcycle shops and reached Lalli Singh workshop, I was promptly informed by their very efficient staff that they carried out repairs only for their motorcycles. While this tit bit, about a shop having enough number of motorcycles in Karol bagh to warrant its own workshop was very interesting, nevertheless it did nothing to uplift my mood. What it did to my Bullet's mood was another story because as I emerged from Gali no. 4 it gave three quick jerks as if to throw me over and came to a halt. It was a winter morning and I was a novice in matters related to Enfield engineering. So cold sweat LITERALLY ran down my head as I goaded my ride to move on. It was in this condition that I found my way to Gurdial Auto engineers.
