Default Decent Bike garage nr Bracknell?

Can anyone recommend me a decent bike garage near Bracknell?

Need to get mine checked out as it seems like it jumps out of gear sometimes

Define "near"?

I've never had any trouble with George White in Slough. Don't know any Kwak dealers nearer than Reading though, and the only time I've had cause to talk to them they weren't phenomenally helpful.

Within 10 miles or so... ??

I know George Whites but was think of a smaller independant (cheaper hourly rate!).. I've spoken to Pegasus Kwak in Reading before and the guy was rude and unhelpful.

Its never an easy thing to find a garage IMO. I travel to Aylesbury to DWR.

Do you know if you can book a time to bring it in so they can look at it while you wait?

What bike have you got?

I've always taken the SV to Geroge White's in Slough and not had any problems. Dan, my hubby takes his ZX6R to CBS Whitton, Twickenham and I'll probably take my CBR to Honda in Chiswick

ZX6R - It was actually serviced by CBS Whitton all it's life by the previous owner. It's a bit far out for me though.. May try GW in Slough then, have been in there several times and they are always helpful.

Got my bike booked in here.

Getting a full service and they are gonna check out the drivetrain problem.
They collect and deliver for free too which is handy

Will report back when the bike returns..

Also did you get an approximate quote?
