Customers say the staff are a great bunch and that a warrant of fitness check was done quickly. One customer had a worn front tyre found at the same check and was told about it. Another had a faulty throttle position sensor on their MT-09 fixed, but said a rubber grommet under the tail was missed on the first visit, which they were not happy about. A third found a used YZ250 two-stroke at a good price with paperwork, and was helped through the finance the same day. Yamaha MT-09 work, tyre replacement and sprocket and chain sets come up most often. The shop is a good place for anyone buying a used Yamaha who wants paperwork and finance sorted in one visit.
