Also suggest you can try VTNZ on Thorndon Quay - I went there after finding out VTNZ Porirua no longer had a bike guy. The guys at Thorndon were very efficient and friendly. One of the Testers is a bit of a wag and put a Firemans' hat on then got his mate to take a photo of himself on my bike! I don't think they see too many Ducatis in there.

I have always taken mine to Boyles on adalaide road. They ain't in business to rip you off. and they are sensible about what they pass & fail :-)

dito , i havnt had a wof there but had good service and great prices.
changed a tyre for free when i took the wheel in, other shops will charge 20bucks min for that and they are not too busy like the rest of them.
big thumbs up to the guy at boyles

They got a bike guy there?? That's virtually next door to work I'll have to pop in and check it out. The young guy in there has done both my other vehicles WoF's and he's prtty good.

That's where I got the CBX sorted out. He came out, had a listen, suggested a couple of things, but the one thing he was prepared to do was to give me options. That's all I wanted. He told me best and worse case scenario's and the possible cost of both. That left me with an informed decision to make.

Richard at Johnsonville wasn't even interested at looking at the bike.

Me: "Can you have a quick look at the bike, it's got quite a bad top end knock"'
Richard: I've heard you go past and you just need to put a bullet in it."
Me: "do you think so?"
Richard: "I know so, that's my job".

He may be a top guy, but my experience..... He lost my business that day....
