At last a mechanic that knows his stuff

[Wheelzgav]

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

[blackdog]

yup, he is a top man. my first port of call for when i need something taken care of beyond my own capabilities.

in fact, i'm heading in there tommorow for a few bits n' pieces.

coffee's crap tho............on the rare occasion i can talk ivan into making one.

Yep back this up 100% - the whole shop, staff and attitude is great.
Was so impressed with Paul & ben a while ago went and brought a dozen for them - and have bike booked in again for more work, wouldnt go anywhere else

[Crasherfromwayback]

How odd. We have a Paul and a Ben too!

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.

[nuts]

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.

Ask him if he knows what headlight bulb will fit my Honda CD90!

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

Or,perhaps you meant:

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 ,
The threads and post on TSS from memory have been nothing but good... keep going that man

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...
