Found a great mechanic. for all those that want a top mechanic with a great attitude and some sound advice! It's taken a while but the grapevine does speak. Try Paul at TSS in Alicetown

Have bought gear there and they are bloody honest telling me not to buy a specific product when a cheaper one did the same thing, and four months on they were right. Must go and find out what they charge for a 24K service..

Their good but their labour rate is pretty high. I suppose you pay for what you get.

I believe there labour rate is the same or cheaper than the other main shops in the wellington area

Funny thing we were talking about this thread this afternoon when I picked up my bike from TSS - in all honesty there rates are cheap - compared to other shopsa in the area.
I was wrapped with my $700 bill this arvo - had been expecting a $1k bill - and how do you put an amount on reliability? sound advice? andf friendly service.
If you haven't tried them - give them a go - doubt you will be dissapointed.

It must have been a BIG invoice if it was big enough to wrap a whole 'uman bean.

Or,perhaps you meant:
Rapt
Adjective

rapt (comparative more rapt, superlative most rapt)

700 dollars , I still find that a pretty big sum of money

and before anyone starts I do know the ins and outs of running a bike shop ,

Just stumbled upon this thread, realized I used to live just up the road from TSS, went browsing in there a few times, always loads of nice bikes in store! Would be keen to drop in again next time I'm in Wellywood, for sure...
