[Wylie1]

I had a minor service + belt change at approx 3500 miles at an official Ducati dealer in the South. I opted not to have the valve clearances checked as service interval is 6000 miles. Cost me £290 all in.

2 yr belt service, minus forks, but with cam timing and valve clearance you know who...£630

No, but what you have there is a quote for the 2 year service that the bike is ready for including everything that Ducati stipulate for the service done by one of the best mechanics ( Official service centre too ) who will actually do everything it says on the schedule & will treat your bike as if it were his own.
If you want a proper job doing, you pay the rate...
If you want half a job, pay half the price.
I've seen first hand the state of some bikes after recent work at some so called service centres... they look like a 5 year old had been let loose on them.
Simple.
Search back over the forum and see how many positive comments that Cornerspeed's service throws up as against negatives.
Just my thoughts.....

I know cornerspeed have a good repuation but £830 is ridiculous, even officail ducati Ducati dealers like Ducati Glasgow and Ducati Leeds who also have good a reputation only charge about £500 and that is for the full 2 year service as Ducati stipulate so where does the other £300 go ??

The price I quoted was off the Ducati price schedule, that all service outlets use, or are supposed to. As mentioned before, it is a maximum. I don't make these up, it's what i get from Ducati.
I was asked for a quote and that's what i gave based on the info I have and was given.
There was a question around the air filters and a cost reduction indicated as these wouldn't need changing.
Had the DSC been mentioned then this would have also had a bearing on the quote.
I've followed up with further e-mails, which are between myself and the Daz. Hopefully they will clarify the matter further, rather than having to sort it out on here?

That's my tuppeneth worth.
