Ames Automotive & Propane Ltd

Brought a 1200 goldwing interstate in for a provincial inspection. Left my cell number for a contact. They phoned me to tell me nothing was needed to pass the inspection. The bike has 81000 km. I'm not a mc mechanic but I am a automotive mechanic with interprovicial standards. I have seen and heard of ripoffs in BC and Alberta. Its very easy to do. Kudos to these guys for honest inspections. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Les Scharf. Edmonton

A kawasaki kx250f engine rebuilt for $3200 I got all gaskets siliconed which lead to engine contamination blocking off oil passages, wrong air filter installed and not oiled as foam filters need to be. Leaking oil from drain plug due to tire tube cut out gasket which I was charged $4. Replaced cylinder head but put my old worn out valves in. Didn't crosshatch cylinder with new rings. This is the worst engine rebuild I have ever seen. I have worked for kawasaki and been a motorcycle mechanic for 20 years. I have never seen such a horrible engine rebuild in my career engine didn't even run properly after bike was brought home. Return bike to dealer immediately and owner bob Ames who ownes buisness and built engine himself blew me off and was of no help.
