[Mark_Able]

Good luck. Let us know where your premises are, and a contact number. There's always folks looking for a resonably priced bike repairer... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[smellygerm]

I've been waiting for this day to come . After fixing bits and bobs on lots of peoples bikes from the forum, I think and you will have to agree this is the best thing to come to this site since I joined ;D
Big recommendation from me
Go for it col
How can we book ?
Maybe the management could make this a sticky [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[Mitch9128]

Hourly rate??

[Green Man]

Mitch I wont charge by the hour if it’s a simple job 5 or10 minutes it’s just £10 .00 .

I know of some workshops in my area that charge £20 for putting in oil and it’s thing like this that piss!!s me off

[Chappers]

Well done Col - hope all goes well with the new venture! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[HensonA]

Best wishes for a successful business Colin. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[Snowy]

Go for it Colin and let me know when you can repair shafties mate..... ;)

[NiteW4tcher]

congrats and good luck

will u charge per job instead of per hour? how much to do valve clearances...on a k6 gsxr-750?

[Dabz]

Excellent news! I can vouch for the work having been out on my newly fixed bike today :D

[Nooj]

Good luck with it dude. Who have you got to do your insurance? Would you recommend them? Too early to tell I guess.

[Green Man]

Way to early to ask that nooj
I have personal protection insurance and compressive business insurance

[Nelly]

Good luck Col. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[Mitch9128]

Sounds interesting, if you get the rep for good work at the right price, you certainly won't be quiet. PM me if you would be up for valve clearances on a 9r C2, and what your turn around would be?

[silly_simon]

Best of luck Colin :) Hope it all goes well for you mate [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

PS I have sent you a PM

[Toph]

Best of luck Col, It's bound to be a success mate!!
you've got my recommendation! :)

[Si]

Fair play dude! Nice and local too! Good luck! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[njl]

Well done, sounds like a good venture, hope the work comes in, good time of year to get started I guess

[Jon_W]

Good luck!!!

I'll keep your number and pass it on if that's ok?

[Bornagain]

I must get my own ID on this forum!
It's Tash here,
Liam is out of action at the mo, but we both think Colin is a top mechanic. He's lowered Liams off road bike (well, he was never gonna reach by himself was he?) I cant get too technical because I dont know that stuff but Liam is very impressed with Colins work from chain adjusting, through to engine re-build and cam shaft (I do pick up bits and pieces!).
Two of liam's bikes were totally stripped down in bits in the garage - gave me a heart attack - but he put them back together and they worked better than before - which is the whole point!
Anyway, no doubt Liam will give his own personal glowing reference when he's feeling brighter.

Good move Colin - about time too!!
WB's very own fix it man! ;) :)

[nobby]

need to know your work address & opening hours.

[silly_simon]

need to know your work address & opening hours.

Ditto :) :)

[virginie_morisot]

fantastic idea Colin :) hop u get lots of customs, we need to find of a way of advertising you ..

[CharleyX]

Good for you Colin sure your make a great success of it :)

[Jacde]

Hope it's a huge success for you Colin [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
If you'd like me to I can put an advert up at work.
Also if you haven't already done so, get flyers printed, we can give them away at events like Calne Bike show and racing at Castle Combe!

[Dabz]

oo good idea Jackie - we'll put flyers on all our stands this year!

[jonnydangerous]

good plan mate :-)
a friendly personal service (on the bikes!) is whats lacking from uber store rip off places nowadays......

if youre gonna work on offroad bikes as well, theres a trade account available from "OffRoadOnly"......they are dirty cheap for dirty bike bits :-) well worth checking out.

[Thorkill_The_Tall]

Best of luck with your new venture.
To be honest, I’m surprised anyone can be bothered to have a go these days.
After you’ve paid for business rates, the hazardous waste licence, tyre disposal contract, satisfied the fire regulations and spent hours with the V.A.T. paperwork (if you’re registered) it must feel like most of what you manage to earn just goes to pay the Man.

[smellygerm]

Col I need two cups for my gsf1200 paddock stand, can you get me some ? I'll try to pop over this weekend pm me if that's ok [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Running your own business is the hardest, most stressful but also most rewarding and satisfying job in the world :) in my opinion anyway...

[Gaz]

Well done Colin, hope your venture is a great success.

I completely agree, no-one tells me when to have tea break!
Being The Boss is the best job in the world. 8-)

[smellygerm]

I need to book the bike in for carb balance mate I also have a mate with the same bike who needs his doin swell ,
I have told him I would ask first just incase you didn't want to do it as he's not a member of WB
