The actual profit after removing all costs is possibly less than the average geeks hourly rate in a normal job!.

My 50k p/a rent/rates/insurance/wages/paye/etc etc dont get given to me for free.

So when a dealer charges a price for a service such as £120-£150 dependant on area for a 4k service they are far from taking the **** thank you.

Would you work for free

Luckily i actually make more money from people that bring in bikes having totally mucked up their home servicing and or putting right bikes that after 20k or so havent ever been serviced properly!. Things range from cracked sumps / rusted in plugs as they have never been changed / snapped off caliper mount bolts / throttle bodies that have never been balanced etc etc.

If you know what your doing fine..save some money.
