Hey guys, just moved back down to the nicer part of California and I find myself in need of a good Ducati service shop. I need my belts and just about all of my fluids changed. Anyone have any experience they'd like to share or know any small time, local places? Thanks
Red - your best bet is to head up to Newcomb's on Angeles Crest on any weekend and you'll find plenty of older Ducs whose owners will provide contacts for servicing alternatives to dealers. I collected a wallet full but sadly tossed them all away when I chopped in my used Duc for a new warranteed bike.
I'd still say authorized dealer servicing (for major work at least) is the safest route - even off warranty, but those sky-high hourly rates can be killers unless the work is straightforward. Privateers (good ones) can be cost-effective if time and attention are needed to solve a problem.
If you're in the northern part of LA check out Motorcycle Service Centers in Camarillo. Will Kenefick does a great job on Ducatis and is a great guy too.
