What is wrong with these people?

Is there anywhere in Essex, ( near Basildon ) that can stamp my book and change my oil for less than the cost of a new bike?

Cheers

Myke.
Is it just an oil change though. Don't they clean and lube things too?

Blimey, even my independent charges more than that. Surprised they can make a living.

Does anyone know where spannerman is based?
Also can i do the oil change myself using genuine parts as my bike is still under warranty until 2011?
Spannerman is Surrey/Middx. Staines or Egham I think.

Downside to buying a new bike is often being tied into their service network. Theoretically, you should be able to do the work yourself or use a qualified mechanic if all OEM parts and specified lubricants are used and the schedule adhered to, but it may be very difficult in the event of a warranty claim to get Suzuki to pay up.
