    Auckland bike servicing

    My Bandit needs a major service. Can you recommend a good mobile bike mechanic?

    Cheers,

    Yup, George did my last service but last time I asked him his prices had gone up. Just wondered if there's anyone else popped up.

    George is the best.

    Even with prices up, he's still cheaper than most.

    Ah - you want one of those cheap services then .........

    Major service? You mean check valve clearances?

    Oil and filter do it yourself, then have someone do the stuff you are not comfortable doing.

    Thanks for the replies, peeps. I do my own oil & filter changes (cheapest service a guy can get, AllanB) but the bike's now done more than 60K up and down the NorthWestern every week so yeah, valve clearances I reckon and possibly a carb overhaul. George's price was unbeatable last time and he did a great job. Just wanted to find out if anything had changed in 2yrs.

    I work on the following - if you are happy with a shop/mechanic and you feel you get good honest servicing and advice, don't be afraid of paying a few bucks more for their work.
