24K service

[Len-V]

Thanks for the suggestions for service; I have just had my GS serviced at RGM. I have never used an independent before but I will be doing from now on. 24 th + annual service including changing rear brake pads and all brake fluid as the BMW maintenance schedule and genuine parts came to just under £190.00 all in. Its nice to see a true BMW pro at work, yes “See” as you can stay and watch if you want, (most un-usual) 10 out of 10 thanks.
The second suggestion !! Well it took 4 phone calls and they couldn’t make up there mind how much the service cost, or what service I wanted. Finally they came up with a price that could pay off third world debt. So much for the dealer in Southport.

25k Service

Now that's a good price. If I'd being paying as little as that I'd never have bothered doing my own servicing.

Good find.

Ye I think so, The place was full of BM's, a good number from over 80-100 miles away.

did that imclude changing the fuel flter ?, a 24k service item, if it did thats a very good price.

 

[Len-V]

no, cos I asked for it not to be changed as I had a fuel leak 1800 ish miles ago and it was changed then. Other prices I have been quoted where from £298 not including brake fluid change to aprox £380 but they would not be held at that price.( no points for gussing where that was)

Goodness... you really do seem to have it in for Southport Superbikes... not a disgruntled ex-employee are you?

I have been going to Superbikes for years and have never had a problem with the servicing ... and thats what counts in the end.

Does RGM have a Motronic unit? can't see how he could cope without one ... and what about a GT1? ... never gonna work on any of the new stuff is he?

Cheap service that though ... £190 you say ... ... ... nope ... think I'll stick to the professionals...

 

[Len-V]

I don’t have it in for Southport at all, I just don’t like the way some dealers do business. If you read the past posting you will see I am not alone or are Roger Walton & Terry Ryan disgruntled ex-employee’s also ????

The only service item that can not be done at RGM is bleed testing on the servo ABS and this was made crystal clear when I booked my bike in.

Think you ought to add motronic fault readout as well Len. Having known Roy a few years i'd be very surprised if he'd got a moditech unit let alone a gt1 tester. You cannot get either of these unless you are a franchised dealer!!!

i haven't got one , can't say its had any effect my standards of servicing - they also give false readouts, then it's back to the tried and trusted professional methods .
