Pacific works - I've not used them personally, but have been to the workshop and Luke certainly seems to know his stuff.

You also have 3S service centre - Based in Fleet (I think)

Both are affiliates on here :thumleft:

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

To try and minimise a bit of confusion, JDModified, Toyota GT and 3S Service Centre are all different names for the same place :thumleft:

They've moved mate, now just outside of Basingrad RG26 5DX.

3S/ TGT are really good IMHO, I can only speak from personal experience, James has always looked after me really well. Nothing is ever to much trubble, even when I just turned up and said can you have a look at "this"

There was a guy there not long ago who had travelled from liverpool (ish)...

Nor did I lol.

I've never used 3S so can't comment but I have used Pacific works (Luke) on a number of occasions and have nothing but good things to say about him, his level of workmanship and his attention to detail :thumleft:

I did want to but had a look at some of the prices I would get for mine and how much I could get a rev 3 for,
Its not ideal at the moment, (I have very limited funds)

so until I get a good price for mine, £1900 at least (I very much doubt it) then I will keep it and improve the parts I can afford for the time being

I'd recommend Luke and Co at Pacific Works mate.

Top bunch of lads, and very helpful, prices are also relatively low.

It's a bit of a trek 1hr 30mins from me, but deffo worth the drive. :thumleft:
