1st Gear Motorcycle Training excellent service past my mod 1&2 first attempt without any previous experience.However, avoid Dave Mills motorcycle repairs Dave Mills was recommended to me by 1st Gear motorcycle training, after i decided to let him work on my motorcycle, the service wasn't anything near good I'm pretty sure with my knowledge working on cars I could have done a better job.Work he carried out as follows;(1) A new carb I supplied was fitted he just fit it and didn't even take the bike out to make sure it is working properly, when I got the bike back I took it out it is now bugging down on high revs contacted Dave to let him know he wanted me to adjust the jets myself when i already paid him for a service.(2) A new rear brake master cylinder I supplied the brake light switch he supplied, he fitted a different switch and not the same one that came on the bike without consulting me first. I found one online for £5 he charged me £15 for his one which is intermittent, looks usual and awful because it is in the wrong place.( 3) Full service. I was charged for a full service of £90 when I asked he said he only changed the oil and oil filter, the air filter and spark plug he didn't change because they were new, I also checked to confirm never replaced as he said. The oil appears to be the same colour before it went for service.Bolts missing, 1x m6 12mm flair bolt was missing which I pointed out and he replaced with m5 bolt didn't even hold anything just rest in. 1x air box bolt and a screw completely missing.My motorcycle went rust free and came back with signs of rust everywhere. when I asked he said when it went for MOT they left it outside over night I spoke to the MOT centre they said all bikes are kept indoors over night. I contacted him several times asking for £100 refund from the total he received to take my motorcycle elsewhere for a proper service but to no avail. I paid to get my bike back in working condition now it is sat in my garage and I can't even use it what a service. I should have just worked on my bike myself like I do with my cars. Lesson learned not because someone is recommended as good meaning they are, there good might not be yours everyone accepts different standard of work.
