Roadside assistance anywhere, anytime!

You have a flat tire on your motorbike in the middle of the street? No problem! Just push your bike down a busy street and you're likely to find motorbike repair street service within meters of where you are! The incredible part is how skilled these self-made mechanics are- after all, have you seen how busy traffic in Saigon is? Motorbike mechanics will never be at a shortage of customers with bike problems!

In these photos, our bike's tire was flat, and we walked the bike down about 50 meters to a little shop. The mechanic was finishing up work on another bike. When he got to ours, it was 5:56pm, and when our bike was ready to go, it was 6pm. That is, it took him a mere 4 minutes to fix the flat tire, from beginning to end! And fixing a motorbike tire is no simple feat, nor is it clean! Have a look at the photos below to see this handyman at work!

The whole service cost 20,000 VND (about a dollar), which is actually considered expensive; perhaps this was because the shop was on a big important street. In other places, the average price is 10,000 VND (about 50 cents) for a flat tire. Not a bad price for motorbike roadside assistance, right?
