Repairs & Servicing
Simple but true
Our motorcycle workshop staff have many years of experience between them. They have accumulated a wealth of skill, knowledge and equipment, that would be hard to match anywhere. We have both the facilities and the skills to carry out virtually any repair on any Japanese motorcycle.
If you are considering using us for your repairs and servicing, please help us to help you by having certain information available when you call us. For instance, if you want us to quote you for a service on a 4-stroke bike it would be helpful if you could try and establish when (if ever!) the valve clerances were last checked as this often constitutes half of the work on a 4-stroke service and on most models, is not required at every service. If you don't know when they were last done we will assume never as this is a very important part of the service that is often skipped by less reputable workshops.
Service or Repair
People often seem to think that a service is a magic "cure-all. If your bike has a specific fault maybe it needs the fault repairing, as well as, a service. If you are not sure - ask. We will be able to tell you whether the fault is likely to be rectified by the service or whether it will need to be dealt with as an extra item.
Our standard labour rates are �36.00 (plus VAT) per hour, rising to �40.00 (plus VAT) per hour on Saturdays, when we try to avoid undertaking servicing.
