Recommendations for a SV service in the Bristol area
 
Hi

My SV pointy (04) is due an interim service and I need a recommendation for a good place in the Bristol area to service it.

Thanks. Where are they based? You have used them before I take it, or do you secretly own the company lol?

I've used James and Gary for ages, James started the Mini Twins race series and (as far as I know) if the only SV expert in the UK.

James had a big off a few weeks ago but his wife will book you in and the service will get done.

Make sure you take Hob Nobs and tell them Tim sent you.

Ooo! That's me that is!

I've certainly always been happy with the service I get there. I don't know how they compare price wise really but I trust them to do a good job so I'm not too fussed.

I know that this will lead to a torrent of abuse but I will still
say this: I have always used Fowlers and never had any problems.
(Hides for cover.)

On one occasion Fowlers even picked up my bike and delivered it back for free.

For my very last service I used Taylors in Chippenham simply because
I was too busy to ride into Bristol.

I know Pete Taylor VERY well, I troo would use him again.

And his daughter used to go out with JT.

With regards to Taylor racing (got my SV from them in 2005) have they gone bust? My old man went down there and said it was boarded up and they had gone into administration? Surely not another old dealership gone under?

This guys is definitely the best for a service:

Me too! John and the lads at All About Bikes do fine work and are very reasonable. My CBR will be going there soon for an interim.


I've never used JHS in Keynsham because someone told me they'd had issues -oh actually, I did phone them once for a quote on a can - bit steep as I recall but helpful.
