Nelly is totally honest, knowledgeable, takes time to give advice when requested, charges a fair price for all work. Knows Ducati's inside out and treats your bike like his own. First class customer service every time, would not consider going anywhere else (although sometimes needs small encouragement to make you a brew when he's busy!). Highly recommended.
Pros - Attention to details, knowledgeable, logical thinking, always helpful, healthy OCD about quality
I was one of Nelly's first customers. He just started, wasn't too busy. I was looking for a decent mechanic, but also somebody that would teach me too. Nelly did all that and i was able to witness his approach to mechanics. All very logical, understands the why (instead of just reading what the diagnostic says), thinks before he spanners, methodical, attention to details, never butchers a job. You also recognise a good mechanic by his tools, Nelly "treats" himself to all the Ducati tooling a man can get! Ducati world has quite a few great specialists, but the one I keep on trusting is Nelly. More than mechanic, Nelly has become a friend. He works on your bike like it was his. Oh and you generally get a good brew when you visit! ;-)
Called in having just bought a 2012 MTS 1200 ABS. Neil spent a good 20 minutes explaining about his services and gave me a comprehensive intro to Multi ownership. I liked his straight-forward attitude and his willingness to answer questions he must have heard a hundred times before. Gave me confidence that he would look after my bike and me. 3 separate endorsement from mates who know and have used Cornerspeed.
Pros - A real expert when it comes to Ducatis. Really knows how to fettle & tune bikes. Always ready to advise on improvements. Not too far from where I live!
Gives brilliant service & I'm always happy to recommend Nelly to any Ducati owner. He's been looking after my bike for a few years now, and I'll be happy to keep going back.
Great down to earth bloke who loves Ducatis as much as you do. If it's not up to standard when it goes in, it sure as hell will be when it comes out. Neil (aka Nelly) is as anal about his work as Ducati owners are about cleaning, and that's a good thing. He's service through and through, he makes his living by treating your bike well and not selling you something, if only dealers workshops were like Cornerspeed
Pros - Personal touch, not hiding behind a service desk or sales people. You actually get to talk to the tech!
My bike hadn't been serviced for a while so wasn't rideable. I'd hired a van to go and purchase it. Corner speed allowed me to drop the bike there even though he was really busy and couldn't service it for a while. I really appreciate the personal touch and saving me the hassle of messing about getting another van or risk riding it in on old belts at a later date. See you next year
I do my own servicing, repairs etc. but during my recent Monster build I needed some specialist work doing and wanted to be sure it was done 'right first time' so to avoid any possibility of me getting it wrong I took it to Neil at Cornerspeed. Excellent job, good price and I would highly recommend for all Ducati work.
Pros - Superb knowledge, sensible approach to what needs doing when, gets the job done when he says he will.
Awesome independent but fully approved outfit headed up by Neil, I for many years transported bikes from SE London to Nelly in Notts and it was always worth it. His knowledge of models both older and newer means he is more than capable of looking after your toys.
I'd heard good things about Neil so as it is close to me I thought Id give them a try. Thankfully everything I'd heard is true after a service and a reflash it was all explained to me and all my questions answered. They were both friendly and happy to chat and at a very Good price. I will definatly use him again. 5 out of 5
