As stated by you, i understand that your friend is collecting money on behalf of company and booking scooters for delivery to customers. the company prepares bill in name of ultimate consumer. Thus it is clear that your friend is acting as an agent between company and consumer. Thus in this case it can be stated that he is providing agency service. and thus service tax will be applicable when he prepares his agency bill on company. the bill prepared by company towards final consumer will include vat.

Dear CA Ankit Kumar Jain: One thing is not clear- what consideration Automobile agency is getting, i.e. whether Kinetic is paying any commision or the Agency is keeping any profit while booking the bikes for end customer!
if your role is only providing money from client to company and company is giving commission on your bike sales and also i think even company may be deducting tds on that commission
if above condition is exact then you don't need to charge vat or service tax on any amount
you just have to book you commission as your income, if there any additional income while transfer money from client to company then also you need to add in your income
