Good bikeshop for servicing in Hamilton or Pukekohe?

**gibbo52** · 31st January 2011, 12:14

My bike is about due a full service and I've just moved up here to the Waikato. I've been stung a few times by shoddy work thats been done in a bikeshop, and didnt want to have to go through that again. So, any recommendations on a good bike shop in Hamilton or Pukukohe?

I would say Neil at Hamilton Honda or Motorcycles in Pukekohe.

I have had a small amount of work done by Mr Motorcycles and there rate seems to be fair.

I would recommend NV Motorcycles over in Morrinsville. Top blokes and there isn't anything Nick doesn't know. Reasonably priced and one of the best and tidiest workshops I have ever been into.....

I had my Blackbird fully serviced by Boyds.. And that same week it caught on fire and did $100k worth of damage.

When I told Greg what had happen he told me to come down to the shop and he would punch my face in.

So I guess I couldn't suggest anyone going to Boyds EVER !

I can only report my own experience, CS. As can you.

I have not had the kind of experience you report. And I am sorry you should have had your experience.

I have only ever dealt with them in a spare parts capacity, I have found them professional, fast and that little bit of special service to txt you when your parts have arrived. I like that. Mind you NV Motorcycles does that too, except with a phone call. The down side to NV is they do not take credit cards but are very understanding when there are delays in paying off the account......

Scott and Craig at Mr Motorcycles. In Pukekohe. Excellent service.

I'm in Puke and Mr Motorcycles has a good name in the area. I use Full Throttle Yamaha when i did use anyone. The seemed pretty good, mind you, that was when Paul Dobbs was the mechanic. Apparently he has been replaced by someone equally efficient now though.
