Default mot garage - might be wrong place to post this

Hi All,

Was looking for recommendations for a decent reliable garage which could do a bike MOT around the se wales area.

Not sure if this is the right section to post in so apologies if not.

Cheers

Er, if you're in Newport anyway why not try South Wales Superbikes?

Because i hate dealers. Try Cwmbran Motorcycles. Or there's an MOT place on caerleon road by the cenotaff (sp?).

So what are Cwmbran Motorcycles if not dealers? Wizurd only wants an MOT. Not a new bloody bike.


BTW, I only asked!!!

i ordered a screw, and the threads are too short on it. How can you order the wrong screw for a brake res when i gave them the year, make, model and exact description. Sorry for the anger.

Is this the latest in a long line of c ock ups by said dealer? Or was it a random event? If its the latter, I would say to chill out a bit dude its only a screw. Mistakes happen. If, however, its a regular occurence, I would ask to see the manager and ask him / her if they are aware of the sort of knuckle-dragging dipstick they have working on the parts department?

Just my 2p.
