  1. Hi guys.
    I'm looking to change my current garage as I'm fed up with the travelling and the fact they won't use @Exige's belts :rolleyes:
    So would preferably like somewhere a bit closer to Derby, but still willing to travel a bit for less shitty attitudes.
    Obviously I want the usual, great work , knowledgeable blah blah. The cost isn't really a problem just a cracking standard of workmanship.
    Can anyone help ? Cheers :upyeah:

  6. Already recommended Nelly at Cornerspeed but as an official Ducati service centre he can’t use our belts :upyeah:

  7. See this is what fucks me off ! The garage I'm taking mine to next week aren't even an official Ducati dealer, plus my bike is nearly ten years old now.

  8. Do they use OEM oil or a higher specification oil :thinkingface: or cheap stuff :bucktooth:

  9. Indeed ! Apparently everything is genuine Ducati. Never had a problem with them before, as they have fitted your belts in the past, so now I'll have to pay £100 for them money's still fucking tight, but it'll be the last time with them

  13. And a free thank you bbq for his customers once a year too. Possibly not this year for some obscure reason.

  14. Do you reckon he would be ok with fitting updated belts if I supplied them ? I'm ok for this year, but I'm thinking of the future.
    @Exige's belts are legendary :)

  17. If the bike is out of warranty, and you want to supply the belts, then I’m ok fitting them. Yes, I only supply genuine belts, but as a service centre I can warrant them. I’ve fitted several sets of exige’s belts for customers.
    I’ll fit/use anything you wish to supply tbh. Some customers choose to use/supply their own oil for instance. Again, that’s fine and I’ll stand by by my work but not their parts.
