IMO: A non-Dahon dealer, or mechanic, would have to have good mechanical skills and an interest in working on something they likely have not seen before. Like with our Fridays, I would prefer a dealer who has some familiarity with the product. However, I try to solve problems myself, first. I always want to understand the problem and then hopefully fix it myself.
When I can't do that, we are lucky to have a local dealer who sells & services both Dahon & Bike Friday.
