Independant Servicing - Invalidates Warranty?

nambduke · 16-06-2005, 11:21 AM

Does anyone know the stance Ducati takes if my bike is serviced by an independant? Is it the same for bikes as it is for cars, i.e. servicing can be done by an independant but you'd have to have full documentary evidence of the work being carried out was done to the same standard?

Interested in anyones ideas or views on the subject....because my bike is due it's 6k service!!!!

Thanks to all who've replied so far. I'm not clear whether the motor manufacturers block exemption extends to bikes either. I'll check with trading standards and see if they know what the rules are. Provisionally checked with Ducati John to get my bike serviced with him, because like everyone else, I see no point in lining dealers pockets with money when the servicing is at best average
Keep the replies coming!
