Spare parts seller fights against fake parts using social media

Venkatesh is a businessman with a spare parts shop called Gee Bee Auto Spares in Shivaji Nagar Bangalore, that deals specifically with two-stroke two-wheeler spares. 

 

Over the years, Bee Gee has come across several complaints of customers being sold fake parts, while also being overcharged for spares brought from other 2-stroke bike dealers and collectors. Taking matters into his own hands, the good Samaritan started a Facebook page in June 2013 to help two-stroke owners 

 

 

 

Buyers can now interact and check availability of spares directly, since then this service has helped over 250 two-stroke bike and scooter owners, mainly from the Kerala, Coimbatore and Bengaluru regions.
