Hi I'm in need of getting my valve clearences checked but with never using a garage for my bike I'm unsure where to take it, I thought of Honda but there hourly rate and the fact I don't trust main dealers out me off, any one got a good mechanic they use?
Careful alot of places charge you for it and don't bother checking, last year I paid a fortune for a full service and valve check etc, when Arthur took my bike apart recently it was quite obvious the nuts and bolts needed to be removed had never had a spanner on them before! Arthur takes pics to prove to his customers, I don't think it would be unreasonable to ask for a pic of your head off with a bit of paper with your name and the date.
Yeas that's what I'm worried about, I know a couple of people who work at Audi and vw and the stories they tell me are scary
If they refuse a pic with you name and date then the way I see it is they prob have no intent in doing it as its no extra time or effort for them
if i was up your way i would go to Griff at aprilia perforemance,genuine guy,took a ride up there last year on way to i.o.m he serviced my mates aprilia,set up my suspension on rc8.have rang him for help on occasion and he is never to busy to oblige,top man.
I can also recommend Griff at Aprilia Performance. Very friendly guy, real enthusiast and as Numpty said, never too busy to help somebody out. My mate called on him with a troublesome Aprilia days before we went to Europe and he was a great help at very short notice.
