Fixing My Bicycle II – A honest repairman

Yesterday, I fixed few problems of my bicycle.

But some parts are “wear and tear” problems.

I just have to replace with new parts.

Handle bar, seat and break.

But picking a repair shop can be difficult.

Because most shops are dishonest!

They overcharge the fees and push you to change new parts which are not necessary.

But today is my lucky day.

I randomly pick one shop with a boss got a bad mouth. (or honest mouth)

He told me my bicycle looks ugly.

But all the parts don’t need to change because still works.

He even fixed my break to better condition without charges.

And advise me no need to come again in a month time.

Corrections

Yesterday, I fixed few problemdid a few repairs ofn my bicycle.

But some parts are not fixable. They suffer from “wear and tear” problems.

I just have to replace them with new parts: Handle bar, seat and brake.

The 'sentence' below is not a sentence, so it makes more sense to include it as part of the sentence above.

But picking a repair shop can be difficult, because most repair shops are dishonest.

They overcharge the fees and push, and they encourage you to changebuy new parts which are notbefore they are necessary.

Overcharge implies prices (fees) so you don't have to say that part.

I randomly pick one shop with a boss got a bad mouthed a shop, and ended up with a shopkeeper who was brutally honest .

I think 'brutally honest' conveys your 'bad mouth' and 'honest'.

He told me my bicycle lookis ugly, but it still works. None of the parts need replacement.

'But' is usually not a good beginning of a sentence. You are using 'but' to connect 2 thoughts, so it's better to actually put them in the same sentence.

He even fixed my break to better conditione without charging mes.

You don't say 'fixed... to better condition', and you don't need to. If it's fixed, obviously it is in better condition.

And advise meHe told me there was no need to come again in a month's time.

Whether 'a' or 'an' is used depends on the initial sound of a word, not on the initial letter of the word that they precede. If they have an initial vowel sound, we use 'an'. If they have an initial consonant sound, we use 'a'. 'Honest' has a silent 'h' so is considered to begin with a vowel sound.
