I was once told this place was a bit pricey, but having used a variety of garages around south…read morelondon, I have to say that: a) they are no more expensive than any other garage, and b) they do seem to be the best. I have to add that I drive a Vespa, and they do seem to specialise in Piaggio bikes, so I can't speak for other bike users. In my experience they're quick, fix the problem (which sounds obvious but doesn't always happen some places) and don't take the mickey with the bill (again not a given). For my money, they do seem to be the premier scooter repair place around.

I was welcomed at the garage and they carried out quality work for me and charged me less than half the price that I was quoted locally. I would trust M&F Motors with my car anytime as they offer a quick turn around with quality workmanship and at affordable prices. When I collected my car it was in super condition.

If you have a BMW or Mercedes, Mini or Smart car, or any other car for that matter, you can do a lot worse than bringing it here for your servicing. I know this sounds like I've pulled it straight off an advert, but they are very good and I wouldn't take my car anywhere else (except of course an authorised dealer but that comes with authorised dealer prices)!

When I changed to a BMW X6 I had a year left on warranty, so trusted the franchised dealer network. One visit was enough and I immediately changed back to Bmerc. Chalk and cheese. You are welcomed, you are valued and the prices are good. The real difference is attitude and customer care. This morning I opened my tailgate for the first time since my service earlier this week, I spotted a bottle of windscreen water. It was branded Bmerc and such a small thing but small enough to give you a flavour of what these guys are about, customers! I even called Paul to tell him how pleased I was at the gesture. A small bottle of branded product from a specialist! Unheard of. Both my sons have nearly new Mercs and you have probably gathered, this is where they will be looked after. I am so happy to be back with a company that value me as a customer and not a punter! Mike Powell

When I called, Paul said he ordered parts as the bike "needs a new gear link and sprocket/chain kit". The cost would be £300. I never had any problem with gear change and the chain was replaced 2 years ago and nothing was wrong with it. It was amazing that Paul Reeks decided to by-pass me and impose on me some unnecessary repair and cost of £300 without even informing me about until it would be too late! When I told him over the phone he cannot make decision on my behalf, he nicely cut off the line. When I came to collect my bike, gear change and few other bits had been dismantled, but Paul Reeks did not bother to put it back. It was obvious that the bike wasn't even checked properly, but the intention was to replace some parts and put £300 dosh into his pocket.

And several years ago I discovered Honda Riders of Peckham. Honda Riders are one of the few family-run year-dot shops left in the game. They've got bits for bikes that even the manufacturers have probably forgotten! It's run by Natalie and her head-honcho Paul, and between them they have amassed a detailed knowledge of most common bikes & their particular idiosyncrasies. Especially beneficial to the economy end of the market; there's no limit to the age of a bike they'll attempt to repair. And therein lies a problem, because old bikes often have seized bolts, cracked & corroded parts etc, all of which may not only raise the bill unexpectedly, but also lead to delays and a backlog in their work schedule. But new or old, they always try to please, whereas most other shops will simply turn a machine away after a certain age. They are only two, and work ebbs & flows. Sometimes the phone never stops ringing, and customers are in and out all the time. It can get very, very hectic, and then patience is needed. At other times, when it's quiet, they may look at your bike - and fix it - while you wait. It's a hands-on firm; both Natalie & Paul wield spanners and the telephone often gets lost amongst the jobs! They also stock parts and accessories, including crash-helmets & clothes and a wide range of serviceable secondhand components which they will offer to fit at a big discount to new. This can both save time if the part would otherwise need to be ordered, as well as keeping the bill to a minimum. They're also a licenced MOT station. There's only a handful of other firms like theirs in south London, and I know from experience that Honda Riders are the cheapest and most friendly. Frankly; I can't imagine dispatching life without them. I just hope I can retire before they do.

They've frequently sorted me out at very short notice, very accomodating - staying open late just so I can pick my bike up after work. They do lose a star for their cash only policy - it's 2014 guys!

Told him take the car back and clean it thoroughly and put the sign back, car came back next day, seemed fine but now another problem, several marks on the driver door panel, looked to be smashed against something, driver again completely useless, so I said give my car back I don't want it wasting mileage and my fuel going all the way to slough and back. don't use this crap garage, absolute shit customer service in terms of giving the customers car back filthy and disgusting and no professionalism and care from staff

They…read moreused to be located in West Hampstead but moved to their current, larger premises in Staples Corner a few years ago. They are an MOT testing centre for motorcycles and scooters and are usually able to MOT your bike on the spot without an appointment (but booking in advance is recommended). They will even collect your bike free of charge if you want. As for repairs and servicing, they don't try to charge you for work that's not needed. They will also try to fix problems where possible rather than just replace parts. When working on my bike, they always work fast and don't mess about. They are probably one of the cheapest moped and scooter garages in London. They have a selection of genuine and aftermarket spare parts in stock for Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Piaggio, Vespa, Gilera, Aprilia plus others, but if they don't have what you need they can usually order it for next day delivery. They even have some used (second hand) parts available. They also stock a wide range of tyres and accessories such as helmets, gloves etc. Even thought they are called Dilman Scooters, they do still work on motorbikes and not just scooters and mopeds. They do a lot of work for couriers, knowledge students and fast food delivery companies (Dominos Pizza, Papa Johns etc.) all over London. If you're looking for reliable mechanics to service and maintain your scooter or motorcycle at a low price, give Dillman Scooters a try.
