Honda service in London?

[Motorsport3]

Anyone that had a good experience or may be able to suggest a mechanic/shop to service Honda motorbikes?

Looking for London or Surrey area.

If you can come down the m23 p&h motorcycles in Crawley have a really nice workshop. They do while you wait on selected days / times and there is a decent cafe more of less next door.

They were a lot cheaper for a KTM service than the Croydon dealer.

I started using Normandy Motorcycles after Tippets shut down.

Was a real shame about Tippets.

I've previously used 1st Line Motorcycles near Arnos Grove and they were very helpful at the time.

Dobles the biggest Honda dealer in the South, Coulsdon on the A23 just before the m23

Chiswick honda would be the closest I guess

Give Dobles a call, the price of some of their servicing might pleasantly surprise you. For instance, they did the valve clearances on my old Fireblade for <£300... (admittedly this was a few years ago now).

Adjusted or checked? Even today it would be all the money for a check.

Check only. No adjustment required - all were within tolerance at 16k miles or whatever the bike was at by then.

To add, that was the valve clearance check and service for that mileage/age for that price. But yeah, that was probably in 2017? So plenty of scope for that to no longer be the case now, not sure. Always worth a phone call though - I seem to find that Honda MD's are expensive on small stuff (oil service), but then pretty reasonable/competitive on bigger service items (valve clearances, fork services, etc.) for whatever reason.

Cheers guys, I've booked Doble. I've used them previously and were Ok. As others said fairly pricey service for simple oil change and booked up for a few weeks ahead too so thought to ask for alternatives but happy to wait and go with the tried and tested route.
