Good Triumph dealer required

[fizzwheel]

Can anybody help teriyakimonkey out with this...

I need a good Triumph dealer. I live in Ruislip, Middlesex.
My nearest five in order of closest first are:
Jack Lilley, Ashford
Metropolis, Vauxhall
Bulldog, Twyford
On Yer Triumph, Aston Clinton
Hughendon M40 is further away but a straight 30 minute ride.

Thanks Fizz.

Been quoted £140 for the first service at one place already (Bought in Doncaster and I'm bot riding up there for the service) but another told me 1 hours labour and parts. I'm sure that wouldn't cost £140?!

I reckon first service cost wise, with decent oil and oe filter should be roughly £100-120.

Lets face it, these days an hours labour is £60...sometimes more so its always going to be £100 if not more.

I wouldn't touch On Yer Triumph with a bargepole, nor will my ex after their **** ups with her old Daytona 600 - they really took the **** with her and lied on a number of occasions. I have Flitwick Motorcycles in Bedfordshire service my Daytona 955i. They really are excellent and not too far away from Ruislip. I've not heard many good things about Metropolis, Hughendon have a variable reputation as well, same with JLs - some love them, some hate them,

I'd go to Jack Lilley if I wanted a proper triumph dealer to work on my bike now.

I've never used them for service, but I’ve been down there and ordered a lot of parts off of them. Always had good service.

Carl Rosners in Croydon, they have worked on my bike, an i've bought parts off of them. They got the work done, but a few things like plastic bolt covers didn’t get put back on just an oversight i imagine. And there are a little bit strange too, you feel your interrupting them by entering the inner sanctum of the showroom.

I've always heard good things about Jack Lilleys though. :)

That quote I had was including labour at £67.50 per hour plus vat! That's a lot isn't it?

If you dont mind the ride, I always use North City Triumph in Chigwell, essex. Thay are pretty good round there!

Booked bike into Jack Lilleys. Quoted £110 or £115. Bit better than £140!

I've never heard a bad word said about North City. They are old customers of mine and were always extremely courteous to me, which makes a change when you're a rep. If they treat their customers like they treat the reps who call on them, then I'd use them.

Morning all.

I used to be a couple of miles from Jack Lilley, at one time they had an excellent reputation. I left the Southeast at the end of 2004, & in the 18 months or so before that there were a lot of varying opinions about them, from excellent to woeful. This, I think coincided with them moving the showroom from Shepperton, & getting it all under the same roof with the workshop in Ashford. Hopefully they have sorted themselves out now.

One will always find that opinions on workshops or anything else for that matter are divided. There are probably people out there who don't like me very much.........Tell me who they are & I'll have 'em shot!:D

Seriously though, a god rule of thumb is, if the only complaint you ever hear is; 'F@@K ME! they're expensive! They're probably pretty good.

Cheers.

Cheers Spannerman. I've never really had much to do with dealers so hopefully Jack Lilley's will be ok.
