Had the same problem and got it sorted from a dude in Kohuwala.. go through the small lane adjoining Laugfs Supermarket (Not the filling station), take a couple of turns & U'll see this run down, small garage...

Service is not impressive (Common prob in SL!), but if you can tolerate, can get the problem sorted.. the mechanic was quite ok and knew his job..

Apparantly, some of the better known garages in the area get the help from this place to work on this sort of repairs.. and that's how I got to know...

Great news. Got some problem with the N/S mirror. I guess someone has folded it by hand :(

had the same problem with my old car this guy at Pitakotte junction or something fixed it for a small amount the problem was with the wheels inside they had got jammed...a new mirror was quoted 15,000/- by the agents it cost me like less than 1000/-

I thought auto folding mirrors could also be folded by hand (if required).

Guess not AFAIK. If you fold them by hand a few times they're gone. No auto folding anymore :(

you can manually folf them. just that they have to be manually unfolded if you want them to get back on the power folding track/mode whatever u wanna call it.

Mafia? i sense an interesting piece of gossip.. :)

well i got right royally ripped off in Darley road getting my power shutters and mirrors done...

best part was that they didn't even fix it right...

the countless hours i wasted trying get the bloody thing done... I made "friends" with the druggie who was "kept" with me to keep me from going to other "repair" folks in the area... So this fella really educated me how things are done there, how folks are ripped off etc etc...

Apparently the cops in the area try to shut these guys down but as usual the "mafia" some how keep the thing going...

It was pretty interesting to get a peek into what really goes on in there but mine came with high price tag...12.5k it was i think...

And this same druggie who spilled the beans on the "repair mafia" was also recommending me this same guy MiniAce is talking about.
