*Spits coffee all over the screen* £134 for the 1st service
 Holly crap. It should be Free. Suzuki pay for it. All you pay for is Oil and Filter, thats it. £35 max.You my friend have been ripped off. |

I thought it was slightly ridiculous but they take two hours doing whatever it is they do (in this case mess with my clutch and oil/filter). Hence they charge £50 per hour labour. I will not be getting any more servicing done by them. The service is free as all suzi's come with 2 years free servicing but you get these vouchers and without them you have to pay but get refunded later.

My dealer still knows me by name, and i havent been in there for 2 years!! |

Mott's Motorcycle's of Basingstoke. Very expensive labour. £50 an hour it would seem. Plus when I went back there and saw the salesmen that sold me the bike I said hello to him and he just about managed a response. Will be getting a Hyabusa next year so they'd better start being more friendly!

I can see that if you're local to Basigstoke, it makes sense to use them, but when I bought my bike (SV650s), I decided that I'd rather go for someone I trusted above convenience, as once I'd bought the bike, hopefully I wouldn't need to make too many trips back to see them.
For me, it was the right decision. If you're not happy with these guys, ask around and find someone with a good reputation. It does amaze me how few Suzuki dealers there are around. But there seem to be even fewer Triumph dealers, so I guess it could be worse! Rgds |
