Recommendations for servicing in Exeter?

[Petstep]

Hi folks

Can anyone recommend a reliable outfit for servicing bikes in or near Exeter? I've used Bridge up to now, but they are quoting silly prices now, so looking for alternatives. I ride a 2012 Suzuki Vstrom 650

Cheers!

There are a few places round town but I tend to do my own servicing.

What is it that needs doing?

[Petstep]

Just the routine servicing. I'm fine doing the basics myself, but this time valve clearances need seeking/adjusting - beyond my confidence level!

I can give it a crack if you want ? ;)

Rather than giving it to Bullet and your Bike never working again, you could try Jamie at Bikeworx.

Sorry, now it's called the worx.

I used him a while ago for a service on my zx6.

You might want to consider giving Colin Groom a try.

He recently did some work on my bike following a track day and also came to Llandow and got to know several of us. He is based just outside Newton Abbot but is mobile so could come to you.

Hope it helps

Thanks for the tips guys.

I'm booked into the Worx in Exeter, partly cos it's really near my work. I called in and it seems a professional and knowledgable outfit. I'll let you know how I get on.

Thumbs up for Bike Worx. £354 for major service on my Strom (they'd quoted £360-420, to Bridge's £490 after haggling them down from £550)

Proper job done, calipers all nice and cleaned up, everything well lubed. I'm confident the hidden bits like valve clearances have been done properly. I'll be going back.
