Hi Lads,

Just bought myself a low mileage G650GS Sertao, doing some research about where I'll get it serviced.

Anybody recommend an independent BMW specialist South of London, preferably close to the Gatwick area.

I've seen recommendations for Phil Banks, anyone know if he is still with Allbikes in Purley?

Cheers,

Cheers for the suggestion, will keep it in mind but hoping for someone closer.

New to the area and the country for that matter so don't have anyone to give me a lift etc and if I factor in taxis or 2-3 hours of public transport it just wouldn't be worth it.


Depending where you are, i'd also say Steptoe,

2-3 hrs of public transport??? spoon fed are we ;), or a captain of industry, too busy for us little people ;)

I did more than that when i went to collect the Baby V (twice) & the GS, its part of it :D:D

If i was a captain of industry id be able to afford the taxi! ;)

My problem with the 2-3 hours of public transport is that i work 12 hour days and a lot of my days off are spent travelling back and forth to Ireland so free time is minimal.

In my defence i spent 3 hours on a bus to southampton yesterday to collect my new toy :D

Will check out Steptoe thanks!
 
If you had the bike booked in with Neil (Steptoe) you could go get a bite to eat and return to find the bike serviced and ready to go. The man knows his way round these bikes and doesn't feck about.

Steptoe will give you a free loan bike.

There is BMW Motorad in Guildford...circa 40 minutes round the M23/M25/A3. Service while you wait and the chance to take another bike out for a test ride. IMHO, excellent service from them.:clap Alternatively you could always do the service yourself.. changing oil, plugs and filters etc is very easy. :augie
