Recommendations for a good mechanic

[TrickyDicky]

Hi all, I've got an '04 CRF250X. I've had it from new and always done the basic maintenance on it with no problems.
On the last ride it blew a fork seal so thought it might be a good idea to get the bike serviced, valve clearances etc. checked whilst getting the forks serviced as well.

What I'm after is any recommendations people have re mechanics for servicing? Not so interested in going to a main dealer, more interested in finding a good private/independent guy that people have had good service from before (in the Auckland area).

Yep Spectrum are good bastards i'll agree with that. But JTR Motocross parts & service (look up on Google) is a good workshop also.

Goudenz if you are out south.

Cheers, I've just found Dangers details on the forum so I'll touch base with him. I'm in Kohimarama, but no prob. transporting the bike to get it to dudes who know their stuff.
