Very helpful and friendly service. I only had a few hours to get my R1100RT back on the road in order to catch the evening ferry from Devonport. Problem was sorted without a fuss, and despite the fact they were clearly already busy. Price was good too. Should be more businesses offering great customer service like this team.

Bought a Triumph Speedmaster at auction and it was running a bit rough. The crew at Fastlane did a superb job, they gave the old girl a service and tune and it is like a brand new bike! And the big PLUS it was great value for money.
