Had a rear tyre fitted yesterday at TT tyres in Hillborough Sheffield.
Very good price, (£114 for the new BT021) and service.
Could not find these tyres discounted anywhere else in this area.
This place is adjacent to Hawley's tyres at the rear of 51-69 Holme Lane (follow the tram tracks towards Rivelin Valley.
Also does servicing.
The guy there knows Aprilia inside out, he used to work for Hillsborough M/Cs, until they were bought out.

Yep that's Don's place!

I look forward to more people recommending their local dealership and service centre...

The quality of Aprilia servicing has improved, right? I remember the doom and gloom posts of 3-4 years ago scattered around the Net..

I can imagine that was because or Aprilias being delicate the 3 or 4 years of the previous decade.

Forget Corse Performance they have gone.
Sean is now service manager at John Carr in Alfreton, not far from A38 just south of the M1 Jct 28.

Anyone used a main dealer in Kent / S East - I've heard of one in Chatham / Maidstone but can't remember which one now.

just been to John Carr at Alfreton to chase up a part that has been on order since Sept 1st, and he told me that he is no longer an Aprilia dealer.
He will still do servicing, but he's struggled to get spares or money out of Aprilia for warranty claims.

The part i'd ordered came in late November, but it was wrong, so had to be re-ordered.
This is one of the problems he's been having with the Aprilia system, that the part numbers did not match up with the correct part.
Some panels he'd ordered for a lad who's had a mille in there since July have been delivered in the wrong colour.

Don't know if this will be a problem with other dealers, but John says that Premier bikes at Askern have about had their lot with Aprilia as well.
