I\'m new, please help
 

Hi Guys,
Im new to this forum and will probably join the club.
Pleasure to meet anyone who introduces them selves.

I'm from Warrington, near Manchester. I'm looking for a good mechanic / workshop to provide service / repairs. Can anyone point me in the direction of quality service at reasonable prices? I need someone to help me fix my sick 996.
I've heard Tec Moto are excellent but are a bit far being in Essex! I'can't believe they are my only option (other than main dealer).

Any advice is well appreciated.
Cheers,

Ste

P.S. Also looking for fellow rideoutees.

Cornerspeed in Nottingham and JHP in Coventry are probably your best bets, I'm sure someone will be along in a minute with details of someone closer :)

Nelly at Cornerspped is your man. He's the only one who gets to touch my bike anyhow.

Hello newbie......sorry i'm down south...... but welcome to the club :roll::bouncy::roll:

Welcome, if it helps I rode to Nelly @ Cornerspeed on Sat for him to play with my 996 - it was a 320 mile round trip but definitely worth it.

If you can't ride it to get it down to him he *may* be able to pick it up from you (costs extra obviously) so just give him a ring.

Weeksy ...

You not heard of Cornerspeed then .... :lol:

Stonovan ... Nelly at Cornerspeed is indeed your man, shipped mine from Se London to him a while back for a major service ... money very very well spent ... just mind the powderd milk .. alegedly ....

Cornerspeed are easy to reach, being located 5 miles from J28 of the M1, just off the A38 near Kirkby-in-Ashfield about 18 miles north of Nottingham.

He has real milk these days!

Aw, thanks guys.

Sent Cornerspeed email saying you all love them. Hope they will be nice to me too.

Thanks for your help.
I also could do with some standard pipe work (not cans) for said 996.
Any offers?

Got me name when I was a (little) kid, it''s a long story, summat to do with my surname and being a Jock, but most people call me Ston.

Should just about be able to afford a round of soda water after payin for bike repairs:roll:

I called Cornerspeed, Nelly was very chatty.
Wondering if he does any work?!
:lol:

Is £515 a reasonable price for a full 12k service?
That's without DSC discount - what should I expect?

Its not reasonable but thats what it costs! My 6K service cost £595 but that included three rockers.

What i mean is that £500-£600 is a silly amount of money to be spending on serviceing every year but i dont regret spending a single penny of it with Nelly.

£515 is a good discounted price already - I doubt you'll get it much lower than that. I've paid £511 at TecMoto who are just down the road from me (in Essex) and of similar recommendation to Cornerspeed.

Dealer price for a 12K is around 600 quid. Again, I've paid £595 for a 12K service at a dealer, so it sounds like the quotes you're getting are spot on.

With servicing it's not the cost of the items but the time it takes to do it properly. If it's being done any cheaper you have to ask yourself how they can do it as they're obviously doing cheaper labour.

Try have to cough up for two services a year :(

Out of interest how much would JHP charge for a full service?

Hi Ston,i'm from Stoke-on-Trent,not too far away from you!

I always use JHP,Ducati Coventry for all my service & repair work,can't ever fault the work,but he's not cheap!!

If you're after meeting a few people for a ride,then why not pop down to Congleton for the DSC meet? It's the first Wednesday of the month,that's tonight if you fancy it! There is more info on the meeting/rideout section!

Might see you there?

Thanks m8, good idea but can't make that till bike is fixed. I'll come down next month tho.
