Servicing Costs

30-01-2004, 08:50 AM

As most of these threads have been lost, I thought we could all repost our experiences of good/bad cheap expensive servicing.

Ducati London South - I just phoned them to sort out some warranty issues. They said to bring the bike in, so I thought I'd book its first annual service at the same time. Â£380! Help, I really don't want to pay that much for them to change the oil, and twiddle a few nuts (so to speak).

Where else in the south is good, and cheaper than that?

Sazza

Moto Rapido do the same service for around Â£250 I think although not a franchised dealer, they do good work tho

Cheers Ped,

The bike's still under warranty, so I presume it need to take it to a dealer. I bear it mind for later though!

oi Lee.... ahem...

o.k. CK, downstairs parts dept, said to me when I asked for Sarah, it be about 300-350... by way, I don't know if you read a reply to the t shirt thread, i put a note on there for you, asking if there were any monster business cards I could have, as in my line of work, I get to see many monster owners or potentials, and would be nice to give them something official rather than just telling them about how lovely we all are and what fun we have...

Visit Snells in Alton (by the rail station). Franchised dealer who offer a good service at competitive prices.

I've been quoted Â£275-Â£300 for Ruths M600 service inc belt change. And about Â£250 for my 1 year first service on my 620 from Italia Lincoln.

I think thats about right????Yeah?

Sorry to switch the thread a bit, but has anyone got any opinion of Alf's Motorcycles in Worthing. No longer a Franchised dealer, but were once upon a time. Convienient for me as I pass it on the way to work, and bought the bike secondhand from them, etc.

Alf's a great guy.

No longer 'official' but you and your bike will be looked after very well.

Cheers.

Lee.

P.S. Sorry Melenie... :-)))
