I was hundreds of miles from home when I got a puncture on the A1 near Peterborough. I plugged the tyre with a temporary repair & travelled to The Motorcycle Works just as they were opening up in the morning. Pete and his staff were first class, and managed to squeeze me in immediately and fitted two new tyres to my bike. The mechanic (sorry I didn’t get his name) was very thorough and careful with the repair and filled me with confidence in his knowledge and ability. Without their help I would have been stranded a long way from home, waiting for a recovery truck. Thanks very much for first class service. Highly recommended.

I approached Pete with some questions about servicing my VF1000. Honda wouldn't touch it, believe it or not. He was nothing but polite and pleasant throughout our initial interaction. Some background. My bike was restored by a so called expert in Australia. The cosmetics are superb, but that's where the praise ends. I imported the bike, jumping through all of the legal hoops. One of those hoops was an MOT. How it passed is beyond me, with all of the things I found wrong with it. I'm no expert, so this is where Pete comes in... I booked it in with him for a service, with the brief to go over it with a fine toothed comb having told him the story and my concerns therefrom. He found several faults with it, not least of them being incorrectly assembled brake calipers, with pads covered in paint overspray. That explains why they were so cr*p. This was rectified after a phone call from Pete to tell me what it would cost to fix it. It wasn't cheap, but most of the cost was parts. He then serviced the bike. The usual things, oil, filters, plugs, tappet clearances etc. He also adjusted the carbs. If you know the way Honda shoe horned the engine into that thing, you'll appreciate what a task that is. In total, he had my bike for about two weeks; most of that time was awaiting parts, and a staff shortage courtesy of covid. That's nobody's fault, not even the Romans. It was MOTd at that point. All good. I could concede that Pete's outfit may not be the fastest in town, but he's prepared to use his knowledge and expertise on a 35 year old bike that even the main dealers wouldn't touch due to its obsolescence. He was even happy to offer me some F.O.C guidance on setting up the Amal carb on a 1963 AJS 350. He didn't have to do that. He'll be getting my Honda again when its service is due. Frankly I wouldn't trust anybody else with it. In summary, if you want it done as soon as you arrive and done to a time schedule, go somewhere else and take a chance on quality. If you're not time critical and want it done properly, take it to Pete.

Brought my honda Valkyrie in because it wasn't sounding right the guys there fix the problem with those six carburettors. Knowledgeable and very helpful would definitely bring my bike back there again. I'm very grateful thank you

Pete knows his stuff... everything i throw at him he takes on and hes done what I wanted in little time, his methods exceed professional. From repairing my seized calipers, removing broken jets to MOTs and servicing. Great team of people and plenty of knowledge from the oldest classics to your brand new broken lexmoto, pete is your man

Just had MOT done and it's a great place so highly recommended - 5 stars.

A. D.

I've had several bikes serviced here and MOT'd, couple of Hondas and a Triumph, and the service has always been excellent, and very accommodating in terms of timing. I've noticed a few bad reviews popping up here but can't understand why as I've never had a bad experience here. First rate.

Needed an MOT for my bike, phoned first thing and they managed to get me in straight away. The "works" is well located and easy to find with plenty of parking, the staff are very friendly people, will definitely be using them again.

R. M.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value Needed an MOT for my bike, came to talk and they managed to get me in straight away will definitely be using them again.Thanks

J. M.

Awesome company. I was given a price for some work I had asked for. When I picked my bike up and went to pay I was told a different price, a lower price. The reason for this is because I didn't need the all the work. Sadly there are not many people out there that are this honest. Pete and the guys work is fantastic as well as their service, top guys and top company.

P. l.

Got another bike GSF650SAK5 needed new brake lines put on. Its ABS so won't do it myself. Had a new pair of boots as well. Was charged a fair price for the work and bike feels great. I have used other bike shops in Peterborough and now will not go anywhere else now.

Outstanding knowledge. There is a lot of motorcycling knowledge at the Motorcycle Works shop. Just been there on my BMW and once again I left a delighted customer. Fair priced, honest strightforward converstaions and with the wealth of knowledge of the two chaps I met working there I felt secure. I have been around bikes for 42 years so know jokers although this place is top notch, fair, honest and friendly a first class service.

Amazing friendly and honest, after buying my son his first bike and getting stitched up big time! This place picked up his bike and sorted it, replacing what was only needed and getting him back on the road.. Where do you hear "I'll do what I can and only what's needed as I don't want you to spend a fortune" I can't rate this place highly enough from someone that knows nothing I could easily have been taken for a ride, genuine bloke very impressed.

Yamaha MT-09 Tracer `16 Reg. Owner : Retired Maintenance Engineer. A pleasure to deal with people who know what they are talking about !. Also they charge a fair price unlike the main dealer who was not only incredibly expensive but appeared not to know the Maintenance Schedule or to be able to carry out the most basic service. Still they have a New Showroom to pay for !.

P. R.

Brilliant. Thankyou .

Pete, MOT’d my bike today. Absolutely perfect service, from the initial booking in phone call to riding away off of the forecourt. Would and will highly recommend this garage. Thanks.

Can not say enough good things about these guys. I have a chinese bike that is not exactly well built and these chaps have sorted evert issue it has had with little difficulty. You know its a good shop when the first thing you see is classic bikes being restored.

Pete has always been good to me and my bikes. I've never felt that the price was steep and sometimes felt undercharged.
