Where to get a service...?

It is fast approachig that time of year (June) when I need my next service.

I bought the bike in June last year from Ducati Leeds and they told me that the R model needs the belts changing annually and that it was imperative that I didn't miss this.

What sort of money is a full service (approx 5k miles) on a 748R?

The bike will be three years old in I think November.

Anyone recommend a good dealer near Cambridge?

I know of St Neots but don't know whether they are good, bad or indifferent.

I am sure that there will be stories both good and bad, but anything to consider and/or avoid?

Thanks in advance...

Always been happy with Baines Racing at Silverstone, might not be the cheapest but really know their stuff and always make time to deal with my questions.
