Can anyone recommend an excellent independant in the Skipton area to service my 1250. I've done a search but can't find one around here.
Service
- Thread starter Billy Buell
- Start date
Don't know one in the Skipton area, I've used and highly recommend Paul at

Not local obviously but he's next to a park and ride for easy access into the city centre...and next to a garden centre with a decent cafe if you just wanted to wait while he did the service.

That looks interesting. Like you say not that local but 50 miles is ok for a good service and a good ride there and back. Thanks.
Yorkshireman - tight?
Billy Buell is about 100m outside Yorkshire.
No it's still yorkshire
Have rung Jefferies twice , told they were busy and they would get back to me but they obviously can't be arsed.
One of my pet hates is folk that can't return calls even when you want to give them your money.
Where did you buy the bike from ?

OK, so the border got moved in 1975.
I bought it from Jefferies.

I won’t be going back there for similar reasons, didn’t return a call because they weren’t selling me something. Spent £48k on brand new bikes there since 2011 but after that bought my last one from oxford bmw so fuck em.
There is a good independent guy Preston area, someone may know his details.

Rainbow workshop near Sheffield is excellent and very reasonably priced. Steve is a lovely guy, ex BMW tech but left rainbow when it was taken over by Jefferies.

Thanks. I'll have a ring around. Not desperate yet but will need doing soon. I think the warranty is ok as long as they use the approved parts ?

Completely get your point, that’s poor
But I would personally stick to main dealer whilst it’s in warranty, you know it will be BMWs get out of warranty free card. “Ohh! Wasn’t serviced by a main dealer”

This is my only concern. I have always done my own servicing for the last 40 years even on new bikes but thought i would give it a try. Not a good start.

Thanks Beaver. I think if i go idy i'll try the york one just because I go that way quite i bit

As I understand it (and I stand to be corrected) the notion that you do not have to use authorised dealers for servicing is based on a law called EU Block Exemption. Unfortunately this did not apply to motorcycles although this

Even if the EU Block Exemption does apply, will it if/when we leave the EU
