Hey I've seen posts about mechanics but this is a bit different.
Our car broke down and it had to be towed from Busan (ouch!) Anyhow, we now need a mechanic to either...

If you got the helped you needed, I am sorry to repeat this. Go to Ulsan Online website and look on services. Type mechanic. KAR is the name of the shop . Call his cell phone 010-8884-3326. He is a good, honest and very helpful. He speaks English very well as he lived in LA United States for many years. His shop number is 052-256-9556, but the person that answers may not speak English. Best to call his cell phone. Hope that helps. Sorry repeat if you have already gotten the help you needed. Danielle Malson

Anyone know of a good bike mechanic in Mugeo-dong? I have a Honda 750cc bike.
Deirdre M. replied:
Hazel, that shops closed up/moved elsewhere. Scott Rotzoll knows a good guy in guyeongli, but I wouldn't take anything bigger than a scooter to anyone in Mugeo.
Scott R. replied:
If this map is recent, then my Guyeong guy is gone http://dmaps.kr/hymq If you speak a little Korean, you can try this number. His English ability is pretty limited 010-7252-3706
I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find a good motorcycle mechanic that speaks English. I live in OK-Dong.
Deirdre M. replied:
There is a guy in Daldong, but I'm afraid I don't have more info than that. My mechanic is Mr Goh at Daegyeong Motors in Bangeogin (contact info in the "partners" section on Ulsan online), or Ulsan Autobike by Byeong-yeong-sagori in Junggu (also on Ulsan online).
Scott R. replied:
The Daldong guy seemed quite fair and he speaks English well. It's 백모터스 (Baek Motors) at 616-11 beonji. His number is 019-302-9698.

Castiel Jay I have a 2001 250cc Hyosung Mirage. My headlight is pulling about 100watts, but the bulb is a 50watt, and the battery will not charge, so it will die within 10 hours, or so. I basically have to pop the clutch when I ride. here's the rundown: I have my headlight and searchlights (hardly ever run, maybe once, or twice for 10 minutes 2010: everything was working fine, except I replaced the battery(stock) once Moved to ASAN in 2011 2011, everything worked fine had an HID installed, and the regulator replaced, and spark plugs changed in Cheonan Still.. everything worked fine, actually, better than before, the mechanic was REALLY GOOD Spring 2012, had an accident when moving to Yesan, too far from Cheonan, so I had to find a new mechanic: The insurance company took my bike to THEIR mechanic, who "repaired" the bike. Things were going fine for about 2 weeks, then one day, my headlight started acting funky, and eventually just stopped working. The new mechanic said the switch for the searchlights went bad, and the HID malfunctioned, so he replaced the bulb with a standard one, and the searchlight switch. He put the switch between the gas tank, and the handlebars, but put it too close to the handlebars, because the next day, my battery was dead, why? Because when I turned the bars to park the bike at night, it unbeknownst to me, it turned on the lights, drained, and killed the battery overnight. My salary sucked in Yesan, and couldn't afford to get it fixed, so I popped the clutch to ride for nearly 2 years, until I finally had enough to get the guy to put in the bigger battery back in October of 2013. He put the bigger battery in, and replaced the regulator so things were running fine until December. I couldn't ride for almost a month because it was so cold. (BTW, my lights work at this point, but he rewired everything crazy like, so my engine stop controls my lights, my lights switch does nothing, I have no high beams anymore, so that switch does nothing) The big battery died, he charged it back up, and I moved back to Ulsan in Feb 2014. I teach night classes, so I have to use my headlights naturally, after 2 weeks, the headlight would be nice and bright if the bike was idle, but then would dim to almost nothing when I was riding. Eventually, the bike wouldn't even allow me to pop the clutch to start anymore. The headlight is pulling way too much power, and the battery is not charging at all. It's just draining, and dying. I found Bike World near the Ulsan Community center. He wired things back normally, except the big battery, fully charged the battery, replaced the regulator. Things were good for the evening. The next day, battery is dead again. I went to bike world yesterday, but he was closed, so I went to the suzuki place near gongueptop, they told me to cut the search lights, replace the regulator, charger, and put the stock battery back in. I'm no electrician, or bike whiz, but I know there's something wrong with the wiring. There's got to be someone in this city that is smart enough to figure out what's wrong, and just fix it.
Sonny Choi010-8884-3326. He is near EMart in Samsan and is a legend in my book. He has been really good to me; a very honest, decent guy, who speaks good English, and helps out plenty of foreigners in Ulsan. I'd not go anywhere else.
Anyone know of a good motorbike mechanic in Ulsan? preferably someone who can fix bigger engines - not scooters (Im thinking of buying but want to make sure theres a...
Jason T. replied:
yes there are. Ulsan autobike is located near the Jung-gu home plus is good. Mr. Goh's shop in Bangeojin also is highly recommended. Careful when you separate bigger engines and scooters as many of the blinky ajeoshi scooters have quite large engines and many of the motorcycles you see zipping around actually have quite small engines.
Deirdre M. replied:
Mr. Goh at Daegyung Motors in Bangeojin works with a lot of bigger import bikes. That's who I've used for the past 10 years for my Hondas. He also speaks English, which is a nice bonus. Ulsan Autobike in Byeongyeong Sagori area is also very good.
Jason T. replied:
Paul Turnbull most of the larger scooters will be a 4 stroke engine but they will have a transmission similar to that of a snowmobile. So no clutch but decent power through the city. The engine design will be completely different but all the mechanics mentioned are competent in both.
Hey! Two questions here:
1. Does anyone know of a solid motorcycle mechanic they would refer me to in the Namgu area? I have seen the referrals on Ulsan Online and they...
Deirdre M. replied:
Ulsan Autobike in Junggu isn't too far out (it's pinned on the map, and is near the Junggu Homeplus) - or there's a guy in Daldong that I know people have gone to, but I have no info on (sorry). Oil change will depend on your bike and the quality of oil - anywhere from 5,000 won to 70,000 won. Tires will also depend a lot on your bike. But they don't charge for service here, just for parts. Bike restrictions tend to be for "Motorways", and I think all three of those roads should be fine.

Thanks! Mo Akhtar. Thanks Deirdre Madden!

I recommend Ulsan Auto Bike as well. They have always provided great service to foreigners, they are trustworthy and extremely helpful.
