Haven't really shopped around but they perform so well I don't feel I have to. It was in for an oil change once and without asking checked the bike and fixed an electrical glitch I didn't know I had, for free! Good people.

I think dealers would be a bit more...and you'd probably have to wait a bit longer.

I'm not sure, but desmoto said they could do it in a day, just waiting for the tires to get in ;D Title: Re: Looking for a shop to get 6000 service done in SF Post by: Popeye the Sailor on September 28, 2008, 08:47:36 PM 600? ouch I thought that's what the dealers charged agh stupid economy's hurting me. oh well. According to the Nichols site: http://www.nicholsmfg.com/service.html Your service should be $300.

Title: Re: Looking for a shop to get 6000 service done in SF Post by: Bornick on September 28, 2008, 09:11:07 PM a.) no vehicle b.) literally have metal showing through my rubber and I don't want to risk it. c.) if I got it down there, I'd have no ride back to the city.
no bueno Title: Re: Looking for a shop to get 6000 service done in SF Post by: somegirl on September 28, 2008, 09:28:13 PM a.) no vehicle b.) literally have metal showing through my rubber and I don't want to risk it. c.) if I got it down there, I'd have no ride back to the city. b. Go to Super Tire Guy in SF to get a new tire, then ride down. c. Ask the board if someone can give you a ride back Title: Re: Looking for a shop to get 6000 service done in SF Post by: Popeye the Sailor on September 28, 2008, 09:31:30 PM a.) no vehicle b.) literally have metal showing through my rubber and I don't want to risk it. c.) if I got it down there, I'd have no ride back to the city. no bueno They ain't far from the light rail (or bus, iirc), and from there you can hop on the caltrain. Might take two hours to get home, but bring a book, a cold drink, and bask in the warm glow of saving some cash. Or beg one of the south bayers to give you a ride to caltrain or some such.

I like how cold beverages find their way into threads one way or another [beer] msincredible - good call on the call to community, I'll admit the thought crossed my mind.
