Good shops for my '88 Honda Elite E in the Warren, MI area

Post by Iwannascoot »

Hi,
I posted some time ago wondering if I should purchase a pink 88 Honda Elite E. Well I bought it and have really been enjoying it!

Lately it is hard to start. The battery won't hold a charge, so I know that needs to be replaced. The difficult thing is it doesn't want to kick start either under these circumstances. We aren't really knowledgeable about working on scooters, so I'm looking for someone who can take a look at it for me. If it is something that will take a long time, I'll wait until fall.

Does anyone know of a good place? In the absence of suggestions, I'm planning to take it to the Honda shop at 13 and Ryan in Warren. Anyone know anything about this place?

Thanks in advance for any information you are able to share.

Yeah, good thing... but I don't like the shops here in FL much either.

Back in my MI days had a few experiences with the Warren shop that left me with a bad taste. The Honda dealership in Canton was better, IMHO. At least for parts... they have a cutter that can make any paper gasket you need on the spot.
