4K service for £200?
 
Anyone suggest a good place for a 4k service bromley/croydon area? My local place quoted me around £200!!!!! Also what should I check for afterwards to make sure they have done all required? They also quoted me £100 for a scottoiler fitted.....which seemed reasonable.....anyone know different?

Premier Motorcycles in west wickham....seem nice enough but a bit rich me thinks......

Certainly is a bit rich since they charged me £120.

£100 for a scottoiler fitted would mean £30 for the fitting. I suppose thats not unreasonable, although I dont think you really need to pay someone to do it, it isnt that hard.

For your information a 4k service is only an oil change even the filter is left on. Time to do this? 10 mins max. Cost of oil? £10 max. Do this one yourself :wink: .

As for fitting a Scotoiler, any competent mechanic should be able to do this in half an hour (probably less) so at a typical rate of £40-50 per hour £30 max is the price.

The manual says the oil is the only thing that must be changed, all the others are inspected and changed if necessary.
This translates to change everything they can find to change, hence the price.
