Dense, long-settled Kothrud households — one of Pune's largest two-wheeler populations.
Convenient, transparent, and certified bike care right at your doorstep
A complete, manufacturer-guided check-up for your two-wheeler — oil, filters, chain, brakes, and electricals inspected and adjusted in one visit.
Drain the old engine oil, replace it with the right grade for your bike, and check the oil filter — the single most important habit for engine longevity.
Replace worn front or rear brake pads with new ones matched to your bike, restoring full stopping power and preventing disc damage.
Clean off accumulated grime and re-lubricate your bike's drive chain to reduce wear, cut noise, and keep power transfer smooth.
Clean out dust and debris trapped in your bike's air filter so the engine breathes freely and runs efficiently.
A no-repair, ground-up check of your bike's engine, brakes, tyres, suspension, and electricals — ideal before a long ride or a used-bike purchase.
Inspect front forks and rear shock absorbers for leaks, wear, or reduced damping so your ride stays comfortable and controlled.
Replace a weak or dead battery with a fresh one so your bike starts reliably every time, without kick-starting or jump-starts.
Fine-tune clutch cable free-play so gear shifts engage smoothly, without slipping or dragging.

Regular bike service in Kothrud is essential to maintain performance, fuel economy, and safety in local conditions.
Kothrud is one of Pune's oldest and densest residential districts, and by sheer population it has more two-wheelers than almost anywhere else in the west of the city. Karve Road and Paud Road carry constant slow traffic, the kind that wears clutch plates and brake pads far faster than the odometer implies, and parking pressure around Mahatma Society and Dahanukar Colony makes a workshop trip genuinely costly in time. It is the single largest area still outside our coverage, and the strongest case for the next service centre.
Everything you need to know about doorstep bike servicing
Yes. Kothrud is covered from our central Pune service hub, and a mechanic comes directly to your address — no need to find or travel to a workshop.
Doorstep servicing starts at ₹799, priced by your bike model rather than a flat rate — the same figure for Karve Road and Paud Road's dense households as for anyone else in Kothrud. You see the exact price before booking, and pay only once the work is done.
About 2–3 hours at your address — in Kothrud, that matters more than usual, given the area's near-constant congestion. A mechanic comes to you instead of the other way round; if something needs more time, you get an estimate before it starts.
All the major ones — Honda, TVS, Bajaj, Hero, Royal Enfield, Yamaha and Suzuki. Kothrud's own bike population leans towards mostly older, long-kept commuter bikes, and parts for those are carried on the visit.
Yes, weekend slots are available in Kothrud. Booking a day or two ahead gets you the widest choice of times.
Yes — that's the point of doorstep service. Instead of searching “bike service near me” and driving to whichever workshop shows up, a Mechiee mechanic comes to your exact address in Kothrud.
