Bike service
« on: November 04, 2011, 07:31:47 PM »
looking for a service to be done on the bandit,i have used the big named dealers,in the past but getting fed up with the high prices they charge,so does anyone know of a decent garage around cardiff,that will do a service and keep to manufacturers specs,and not rip you off at the same time,must also be able to stamp service book to keep the warranty valid

dealers,. what a bunch of rip off merchants,
southwales super bikes standard service £200.00  :censored
thunder road winter service special £99.00 but they wont stamp service book. you have to pay the full service price for a stamp that's why anyone takes a bike to the dealer for a stamp :handjob
JTs £130.00 plus that is nearly £40.00 more than i paid a few months ago :nono
GT-superbikes going to have change of £120.00 so its booked in with them  :thumbsup,
Cant wait for the warranty to end will do it my self for half the price

I was there 11am yesterday myself getting the C90 Mot'd, I rang Simon that morning and had no problems getting straight through....

What they don't know between them probably isn't worth knowing...

Its a genuine place for genuine bikers, you can keep your main dealers, GP's everytime for me, even if it is a 40 mile round trip... :scooter
