Hi,

Just booked my 749s in for it's 2 year service which includes all usual service items plus belts, brake fluid swap and general check over. Italia in Lincoln Quoted £350 to £360 max including VAT. I have used these guys many times before and am happy with their work.

Would be nice to know if the price is typical, high or low compared to other dealers

How far into warranty?...how old is it?...Don't skimp on a service coz it's expensive. They are in need of TLC.

I (and lots off the board from around east Midlands and N/S yorkshire) go to cornerspeed. servicing is second to none and although independent servicing undercuts the main dealers.

I nullified my warranty to take it to cornerspeed... well worth it tho' IMHO

And some of us from London and evern further south!

It's 156 miles from my front door to Nelly's front door. And I go past a lot of dealers to get there.

Have been to Cornerspeed for a coffee and chat, very impressed with what I saw.

But, at the moment my bike is still under warranty and Italia at Lincoln are a dealer. I'm not trying to skimp on the cost at all, just want to know if £350 all in for a major belt service is good value or not ?????

I called 2 dealers yesterday for servicing quotes,and this is what I got :
Dealer A
748R annual belt change service £565 +vat
749R 600 mile first service £184 + vat

Dealer B
748R annual belt change service £570 including vat
748R as above but '+' service £775 including vat
749R 600 mile first service £229 including vat


GAZ748.....Did the £350 that you were quoted include the belts being changed,as I believe on the 'R' they need doing every 12 months

I do not think that £350 ia an all in price for a 12K service, will be intrested to know what you have to pay in the end.

My quote for a 749s is £350 to £360 and includes VAT, Belts, brake fluid change, normal service items and general check over. This is with Italia in Lincoln who are a Ducati dealer, but, more importantly bike enthusiasts who also deal in Laverda and Beneli. The guy that owns the dealership also works in the workshop.

Wow Carbon 749,that price sounds really good!I Just hope that they don't find some 'hidden' costs to add on your final bill !!
Sounds like a good place to take your Ducati to....You can't beat a real bike enthusiast working on your pride and joy!

£350 = minor service inc. belts ( £64.00 )
£575 = major service ie 6,000 and 12,000 inc. belts
