Re: Random Main dealer estimate!

At dealership rates that equates to roughly an arm and the best part of both legs! Plus the vat if it took the full 5 hours.
When I questioned it I was told that most carb models take the full 5 hours and sometimes even longer.
Also got the feeling he wasn't at all interested in doing the job anyway as he said ... well.. let me know if you want me to 'have a go' !
Real confidence inspiring eh.. NOT. And this was from a main dealer!!
Anyway... as I'm still searching ... can anyone recommend a really good mechanic that can do the balancing job on my sv650s and take the kind of care over doing the job as I do when working on my bike in my local area (Dover) or within reasonable travelling distance.
Would be great to find someone based on good previous experiences.
Any help would be much appreciated.
