Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• Do you have experience with my scooter make and model and can you show examples?

• Will you carry common spare parts like inner tubes, brake pads and bulbs?

• How will you handle battery replacement and disposal, and what warranties apply?

• Do you offer a written estimate before fitting parts and a clear cost breakdown?

• What safety precautions do you take for high‑voltage electrics and petrol systems?

• How long will the repair warranty last and what does it cover?


How to Avoid Surprises

 

• make scooter accessible and remove locks or chains

• leave key and any pairing or app info for electronic throttles

• ensure battery is charged where possible or note if flat

• check parking access for mechanic van and give clear directions

• tell tradie about past faults, recent repairs and any damage history
