Servicing near Oxford?

Does anyone have any reccomendations for servicing around Oxford? Would be happy to use an independent if they come with reccomendation. Bought the bike from Moto Forza at Silverstone. Very easy to deal with when buying but not that close for servicing? Whats it likely to cost to get the belts done?

Could try Dave Woods in Aylesbury very close to Tesco he is independent (Dave Woods Racing)
Ducati Aylesbury between Bicester and Aylesbury.

I've used Brancato Engineering in Chalgrove, though not for a while. Bit old fashioned and can talk the hind legs off a donkey but he has a good reputation.

If you choose Aylesbury go for DWR. Avoid Ducati Aylesbury like the plague.

Duc Aylesbury are great for selling bikes, clothing, parts etc but when it comes to servicing my experience has always been bad. So bad I decided to go to the independents (Rossocorse) when the bike was still under warranty. Okay this was a few years back but doubt they've changed.

Definitely get more for you $ (don't have a pound key!)

In fact if my bike was still back home, i'd even ride the 50-70 miles every time to rossocorse to have it done.

A bit further south, but I recommend Moto Rapido in Winchester very highly.

They are just off the south end of the A34.

Brancato are highly regarded but also highly priced. Give Craig Polden at Kings 2 Wheels Centre in Kidlington a call (01865 841422). He used to be service manager at Ducati Aylesbury and is a fully trained Ducati mechanic. He's doing the belts on my 996 as we speak.
