Default Servicing in Birmingham

Anyone know a good place to go to get the SV serviced in Birmingham? The last owner had it serviced about 18 months ago but only rode about 250 miles on it since then so I think it should really be done!

I just had mine back from service at Streetbike Halesowen. Nice people but seemed abit steep. I would recommend Sherwood Suzuki in Hall green just off Robin Hood Island. Really friendly small shop with lots of good reports from customers.

If you can get to Redcar in Leicester i believe, they are a small but reliable Suzuki dealer with one dedicated mechanic.

Most people like them. Not heard much good about Streetbike though.

Have used Motorcycle mart at Kidderminster & Arden motorcycles at Alcester before

Both are good but Arden a lot cheaper about 35 quid a hr labour

cheers Steveg

Fred hanks slade road erdington. Good value and offers lots of advice if asked how to do stuff. Real old style garage - they race side cars so call before hand as they close some weekends.

I'm also after this for the 30k (or is it 29k) service, anyone here done one in Brum and can recommend a place for this? I know the 30k is pretty huge and it would be nice to go somewhere I can trust that wont cost an arm and a leg..
