just booked my bike in for its 12 month service at Phil Youles, £210ish, which i suspect is mostly labour. I think this will be last time i use a main dealer for a service it seems alot of cash for a load of checks and adjusts!! I think the only reason why im using them is that im probably not 100% sure what Robinsons did to it when i got it last october, bearing in mind they went bust shortly after. Bikes only done 4k in 2 years so fingers crossed there wont be any surprises. Think ill be trying Dave Helm in preston next year ive heard some good reports about him
£210 ? that too much £££ , i paid about £150 & i think that is a rip off , trouble is if you want the stamp in the book ..... :?
pretty sure it will be my last one tbh. ill be moving to an indie. im considering taking mine own oil that could save me a few quid i know car stealers charge around £65 for oil and you could get it from Halfords for half that but im not sure about the bike its my first paid for service
Mine was £175 and I complained. I wanted the Honda Centre here in Shrewsbury to do it cos I know them well but they said they didn't have the diagnostic equipment. So it went to a franchised dealer. Next time I will find out in good time who's got the kit.
As mine is outside the warranty period, its unlikely I will be using the Triumph dealer anymore as he’s over an hour ride away.
At 4000 miles it's just that, Andy -a bunch of checks, and an oil change...all stuff that you can & should do yourself - your money is much better off in YOUR pocket IMO, not a dealer's.
I agree with Dareen. I can do it all myself except for a tune so better to take it to GT at £12.50 for the tune and do the rest myself. I keep all the receipts for the good oil and Triumph filter etc and sign the book myself.
going to pull my service date and get it done by a local guy, cant justify £210 for oil and check \adjustments! plus ive just forked out £210 for 2 run flats on the current Mrs Andykb Cooper S
Hi guys, I purchased my bike through a ex triumph dealer who bought the bike from bill smith! I am due the first service and was getting it done by the ex dealer! And they are also sorting some warrenty bits and bats! Can any one see any issues?
