Ahead of Holy Week, the Mobility Ministry predicts that 800,014 vehicles and 343,035 motorcycles will be mobilized in Bogota alone. In view of these dates, many motorcycle users often ask themselves the question: where should I have my motorcycle serviced?

Taking your motorcycle to a service center that is not an authorized manufacturer may result in it not being properly serviced due to the mechanic’s ignorance, lack of specialized equipment, or use of generic replacement parts. These factors can reduce the performance of a vehicle significantly, in addition to increasing the risk of accidents due to malfunction.

In the case of Bajaj motorcycles, it is recommended to use original spare parts, they are marked with a pink label, which indicates that they are made specifically for models sold in Colombia.

During Holy Week, the Mobility Ministry predicts that 800,014 cars and 343,035 motorcycles will be mobilized in Bogotá, which means a total of 1,143,049 vehicles in the capital alone.

Due to these dates, many motorcycle users often wonder, “Where should I have my motorcycle serviced?” This is necessary in order to travel with more peace of mind and safety.

Faced with this, it is always recommended to visit authorized and specialized service centers of the brand, because, according to Grupo UMA, if the vehicle does not receive proper maintenance, its performance can deteriorate significantly, in addition to increasing the risk of accidents due to malfunction.

Similarly, the use of non-standard spare parts on a motorcycle can shorten its life, as these parts can accelerate the wear of other components; The training and knowledge of the person responsible for the maintenance of the vehicle is also extremely important factors, which is why various brands of motorcycles suggest that, especially in this travel and high traffic season, various users turn to certified technical services in order to avoid accidents due to motorcycle malfunctions.

Why is it important to have a motorcycle inspected and serviced by a qualified mechanic?

Each brand has technicians trained to analyze and maintain the manufacturer’s recommendations, as well as offering spare parts and specialized equipment. In the case of Grupo UMA, the company’s goal is to offer BAJAJ motorcycle users a high quality service, it constantly works to train its team of specialists and offers the latest technology with every revision and intervention. .

Grupo UMA Bajaj qualified mechanics are distinguished by:

• Be certified as a motorcycle mechanic from one of the national institutes.

• Have previous motorcycle service experience.

• They have an introductory process at the UMA Corporate University, whereby they are constantly informed about the brand, products, new processes and technologies.

• In addition, they have four training centers throughout the country where they receive full-time training in motorcycle and automotive maintenance.

What equipment is available in the Grupo UMA specialized service center?

Knowing and handling special tools exclusively for brand use also plays a vital role in good motorcycle maintenance, in the case of Grupo UMA the brand has tools such as:

Diagnostic tools:

• Battery tester

• Scanner for software updates by models.

• Engine leak and compression sensor.

• Stethoscope for easier detection of abnormal sounds.

• Banks of nozzles.

Tools for repair:

• Clutch and flywheel holders and extractors

• Kit for removal and installation of bearings.

• Holders for regular and inverted hangers.

The use of this equipment is what prevents after-interference motorcycles from abnormal vibrations and sounds and other effects, situations that usually occur when there is no knowledge, experience, the right tools and original Bajaj parts for those who have a pink Label, since these are the ones that are specially designed for specific Colombian links.

Here they will find experienced mechanics for each of the BAJAJ motorcycles, in addition to having the specialized tools needed to make an accurate diagnosis. Our service policy puts service quality and transparency at the forefront, aiming to ensure that motorcycle owners of a given brand can visualize and understand what type of intervention their car received and why it was necessary,” said Esteban Zuluaga, UMA Group Marketing Manager.
