We quote the repair before the replacement

Most of what comes through the roller door does not need a new part. A carb that will not idle usually wants the pilot jet out and cleaned rather than a whole rack off a catalogue, and a charging fault is a corroded earth strap nine times in ten. So we take it apart, phone you with what we found, and give you both numbers before anything gets ordered: what it costs to fix what is there, and what it costs to replace it. If the repair is the wrong call we will say so. There is no sense putting four hours into a fork leg that is pitted right through. But you should hear that from us with the leg on the bench, not read it off an invoice at the end.

Book the bench

Tell us the bike, the year and what it is doing. We come back with a slot and a rough number, usually the same day.
