Annual Service For My Panigale -blade Reading Or Snell's.

  1. Hi all

    I need to get my panigale its first annual service. I am near blade ducati in Reading, where I bought the bike, or Snell's.

    Would anybody recommend one over the other.

    Secondly would you get either of the above to fit some new tyres whilst they have the bike or go to a specific tyre place.

    Cheers
    James

  3. Blade Ducati is a relatively new dealership and the service guys will be more familiar with the 1199/899 than the earlier bikes. Snells are an established independant family run dealership who have an enviable reputation across the Ducati range. As with any retailer they both have their advocates and their detractors. On balance I'd use Snells simply because they have been established for a good number of years and only work with Ducatis. Tyre fitting should be routine for them. Andy
     
  4. Same reason I recommend Snells, more experience, it's that simple.
