West London service and MOT kwak

Could anyone recommend anywhere non crap to change my oil and give me an
MOT without stealing all my money?

Ta.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, cat

Take a trundle up to Bedford and see Lozzo.

 

cat wibbled:

There used to be a guy on the Goldhawk Rd more or less opposite
Straight 8 - don't know if he's there anymore but was very
sensible/reasonable/competent.

 

Motorcycle Service Centre on Harrow Road in Kensal Town/West Kilburn:

I forgot their name, but the burd who runs the place is called Claudia.

 

Yeah, I can do it easily enough if Cat doesn't mind a ride up here.

 

Don't think he's there any more, I never saw any sign of him being
there three years ago when I was regularly in that area.

 

Lozzo wibbled:

Shame - he was very good.

 

I used to go there with my scooter [1] for the MOT, never had a problem.
Now I go chez Bob Thomas, N3, closer to home [2]. I went 2 days ago to the
Suzuki dealer in FInchley Central (I forgot the name), they quoted 698GBP
for a new tank on the GS500, I said "no thanks" and they'll never see me
again... I like Bob Thomas because they seem to listen when you speak.

[1] I'm Italian and in Italy scooters are as common as proper motorcycles,
there is no sexual connotation in owning a scooter. In fact, a maxi scooter
may even be seen (by someone) as a macho thing, a tmax or something like
that.

[2] Now I have a GS500 and in spite of Lozzo's opinions ;-), again no sexual
connotation in this. I just need the cheapest thing available to travel
from NW11 to WC1 every day. And a GS500 is cheaper than a scooter nowadays.

 

Dont worry, the poor lad was probably scared by a GS500 when he was
a baby.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Having said that, I'd be happy to do the oil/filtr change if you
brought the bike up to Bedford. I also have an MOT man who does them
as and when required, with no silly 3 week waiting times like some
places round here have.
