They have dedicated space to load the scooter and fasten it firmly using ratchet straps.In most cases, the company will try to deliver the repaired scooter on the same day. However, it could take longer if some major repairs are required. Also, it is not necessary that the service van will be available on the same day. For repairs that are not urgent in nature, customers may have to wait a few days for the service van.Large service areaTo be cost-efficient, Ola Electric service vans cover a large area. They are willing to travel long distances whenever needed. Evidence to this was shared by another user a few weeks back.
