Good evening all. Firstly I would like to say thanks to El Toro for accepting me as a member. I have a plan and would like to get everyone’s opinion (If possible). I have been around Ducati’s for a few years now and absolutely loving them. I am at the point now where I am thinking of opening a small/medium sized bike garage (for repairs only not sales. I have 2 full Ducati trained technicians on toe who have around 14 years experience on Ducati’s between them. They also have other brand training too. I know that we will have limits to what we can do as Ducati hold a lot of power with software but I am thinking that there is still a window there for Ducati riders to get repairs, rebuilds, etc done without the average £70 per hour price tag but am with the same standards. I am thinking that’s the location would be around the central Scotland area. I am open to views, opinions and ideas. We are at the early stages just now but want to be prepared before we go full steam ahead. What you guys think
If you can provide a first class service with undercutting the dealers hourly rates you'll have a licence to print money anywhere in the UK. Follow your dreams and adventures good luck.
Sounds like a good idea newbie repairer. A bit of healthy competition and choice welcome into our mad house
Greetings! If you provide the same or better for less -and enough people are aware of it- you should do very well. I hope you do.
Thanks for the comment. I am sure we have enough in our armoury to be just as good if not better. There is a lot of things we will be doing differently. Watch this space
