West London bike service

[creampuff]

Can anybody give me a recommendation for bike servicing in West London? Anywhere between about Heathrow and where the M4 turns into the A4.

I've read up reviews of Bill Bunn. About 90% of the reviews say they are great. 10% say the cost exploded and the bike didn't work properly afterwards.

Hampton Hill too far? Razec Tech is great, he's done a lot of work for me and ever time I have recommended to some one else they have had a very positive experience. Cezary is extremely thorough and his prices reasonable.

Thanks, Hampton Hill is doable, although if I could get a bit more confidence with Bill Bunn then that is closer to the M4 so that would work out easier for me.

BTW anybody know how much a motorcycle battery should cost? 1300cc bike. I've looked online and they are anything from £20 to about £100 which seems like a pretty big range.

Depending what bike you're riding I'd suggest Stewart @ http://www.stewarts-motorcycles.co.uk/

He's on his own there now and is in a position to chose what work he takes on, but is a ridiculously knowledgeable and decent chap. He does like a good natter, but all round top guy who will tell you it as it is and is straight up about what sort of costs you're expecting etc.
As mentioned though, he's in a position to chose his work, so if he thinks you're a or you ride a chinese bike he'll tell you to sling your hook. Wouldn't have anyone else touch my bike though as he properly knows his stuff.

A little past Heathrow towards Reading but worth a look https://pdq1.com/

There are a few places in Ealing. This place is good apparently

There is also another motorcycle shop nearby, old school, and I've forgotten the name! These are near the A4 .


ETA Actually, London Motorcycles have moved and Bill Bunn is the place that I couldn't remember, they have been around for years so must be doing something right. You don't mention which bike you have , if you happen to have an old Triumph or Norton then there is another old school workshop whose shop actually looks like a museum.

I used to use a place called Traxden in Park Royal. Dodgy looking area and the workshop's a complete mess, but they really know their stuff and always had great service from them.

If you want to nip out of London, Steve Jordan Motorcycles are in Leatherhead.. it is more SW than W though

I used Bill Bunn for a couple of years as I lived around the corner, they were fine for me and they were always busy which I took as a good sign. Only caveat is that was 5 years ago now.
