Motorcycle repair services
Mechanical repair & servicing
ITV appointment handling
Booking the ITV slot and taking the vehicle through the inspection for you, paperwork included.
6 shopsPre-ITV check
Checking the vehicle against the ITV test items — lights, brakes, emissions, tyres, play — and fixing what would fail.
17 shopsPost-ITV failure repair
Fixing the specific defects listed on a failed ITV report and returning the vehicle for the retest.
2 shopsBrake fluid change
Draining the old brake fluid, refilling with fresh DOT fluid of the correct grade and bleeding every wheel so the pedal or lever feels firm again. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, so manufacturers ask for a change every two years or so; pads and discs are listed separately.
1 shopChain and sprocket replacement
Replacing a worn drive chain together with its sprockets, which are changed as a set. The parts have to match the bike's chain size, length and quality grade, so they are bought for the job and a workshop may need to order them in before the work can start.
7 shopsDyno power test
Running the vehicle on a rolling-road dynamometer to measure the power and torque that actually reach the wheels — to check the result of tuning or modifications, or to track down a loss of pulling power.
1 shopHomologation of imports and modifications
Getting a vehicle brought in from abroad, or a modification made to one, legally approved in Spain: the work needed to pass inspection, the engineer's report where one is required, and the paperwork that puts the change on the ficha tecnica.
4 shopsMotorcycle battery test and replacement
Testing the battery and charging circuit and fitting a replacement. On a bike the battery usually sits under the seat or behind bodywork, so panels come off to reach it, and the replacement has to match the terminal layout and the charging system.
11 shopsMotorcycle chassis and geometry set-up
Setting up a bike's handling for its rider and use: ride height and chassis geometry, suspension sag, preload and damping tuned to the rider's weight, steering-head and swing-arm checks, and, for track riders, data logging and telemetry-based tuning. Repairing worn or leaking suspension parts is a separate job.
0 shopsMotorcycle clutch replacement
Replacing a worn or slipping clutch on a geared motorcycle: friction and steel plates, springs, and the clutch cable or hydraulic slave cylinder where they are at fault. On bikes with a primary drive the primary chain or belt and its tensioner are checked while the case is open. Scooter drive belts and rollers are a separate job.
4 shopsMotorcycle cooling system repair
Finding and fixing why a liquid-cooled bike overheats or keeps losing coolant. The system is pressure-tested to locate the leak, then whatever is at fault is replaced: a hose, the radiator, the water pump, the thermostat or a gasket. Draining and refilling the coolant on schedule is a separate, routine job.
4 shopsCustom motorcycle build
Building or transforming a motorcycle to the owner's design — a chopper, bobber, café racer or custom Harley: changing the frame geometry, tank, seat, bars, exhaust and lighting, one-off paint and the paperwork to make the changes road-legal. A long, quoted project rather than a single repair.
0 shopsMotorcycle exhaust repair
Repairing or replacing a bike's exhaust: rusted-through or cracked headers and collectors, a damaged silencer, blown gaskets and broken mounts, including welding a split pipe. Fitting a new aftermarket silencer or full system is done here too, but tuning the fuelling to match it is a separate job.
1 shopMotorcycle fuel injection repair
Diagnosing and fixing the fuel injection on an injected motorcycle or scooter: reading fault codes, cleaning or replacing injectors, testing the fuel pump and pressure regulator, replacing throttle-body and lambda sensors, and resetting the idle and throttle position afterwards. Carburetted bikes are a separate job.
2 shopsMotorcycle pre-purchase inspection
Independent inspection of a used motorcycle before you buy it: general condition, signs of a crash, frame and forks, engine noise and leaks, fluid levels, brakes, tyres and chain, with a report of what was found. Some shops also receive the bike from the seller and hold it until payment.
0 shopsMotorcycle shaft drive service
Servicing or repairing a shaft-driven motorcycle's final drive: changing the final-drive and gearbox oil, replacing the drive-shaft splines, universal joint, bevel gears, bearings and seals, and curing leaks or play at the rear hub. Chain-driven bikes are covered by the chain services.
0 shopsMotorcycle suspension work
Servicing, repairing or upgrading a bike's forks and rear shock: new oil and seals, worn bushings and bearings, and setting the sag and damping to the rider's weight and riding style.
11 shopsNumber plate supply & fitting
Making a replacement or additional number plate to the legal format — metal, or acrylic for motorcycles — and fitting it with screws or rivets, including the plate holder or bracket if needed. Usually done while you wait on presenting the vehicle's registration document. Registering the vehicle itself is paperwork, not this job.
1 shopLathe and machining work on vehicle parts
Machining a single vehicle part on a lathe or milling machine: skimming a cylinder head, regrinding a crankshaft, boring a cylinder block, turning a shaft or bushing, or making a part to measure that is no longer sold. Customers or other garages can bring the loose part in; a complete engine overhaul is listed separately.
0 shopsMotorcycle performance tuning and ECU mapping
Reprogramming a motorcycle's engine management unit, or setting up a piggyback module such as a Power Commander, with a fuel and ignition map built for its modifications — an aftermarket exhaust, air filter or big-bore kit. Usually measured on a dyno so the result is set against real readings rather than a generic file. Performance tuning on cars is listed by level, from stage 1 to stage 3.
1 shopScooter variator and drive belt service
Servicing the automatic transmission of a twist-and-go scooter. The transmission case is opened to inspect and replace the drive belt, the variator rollers and the clutch shoes, which wear out gradually and leave the scooter slow to pull away or short of its old top speed. This is the scooter's equivalent of drive chain maintenance on a geared motorcycle.
3 shopsUltrasonic cleaning of parts
Removing parts such as fuel injectors, carburettors, throttle bodies or EGR valves and cleaning them in an ultrasonic bath, where sound waves shake loose carbon, varnish and grime from places a brush cannot reach. Injectors are usually tested for flow and spray pattern on a bench before and after. This is a parts-off job, unlike engine decarbonisation, which cleans a running engine through its intake.
1 shopEnd-of-life vehicle scrapping and deregistration
Taking in a car or motorcycle that is no longer worth keeping at an authorised treatment centre (CATV): the vehicle is decontaminated and recycled, the centre issues the free certificate of destruction and files the permanent deregistration (baja definitiva) with the DGT for you — the paper you then show to cancel the road tax and the insurance. Often includes collecting the vehicle by tow truck.
0 shopsMotorcycle accessory fitting
Fitting crash bars, engine/sump guards, panniers and top cases, and other bolt-on accessories to a specific motorcycle model.
16 shopsMotorcycle brake service
Replacing motorcycle brake pads and discs and bleeding the brake fluid.
23 shopsCarburettor cleaning and tuning
Removing, cleaning and re-tuning the carburettor on older bikes and scooters that run rough or will not idle.
8 shopsDrive chain service
Routine maintenance of the drive chain that runs from the engine to the rear wheel: inspecting it, cleaning off road grit and old grease, lubricating it, and adjusting the tension if needed. Replacing a worn chain and sprocket set is a separate job.
10 shopsMotorcycle coolant change
Draining and replacing the engine coolant/antifreeze, with a check of hoses and the radiator for leaks.
3 shopsMotorcycle diagnostics
Reading fault codes and testing sensors on fuel-injected motorcycles and scooters.
22 shopsMotorcycle electrical accessories
Installing GPS trackers or mounts, USB charging sockets and auxiliary lighting on a motorcycle, wired into the bike's electrical system.
6 shopsMotorcycle electrics repair
Basic wiring, connector, lighting and accessory-wiring repair on motorcycles and scooters. Does not include computer or ECU diagnostics.
18 shopsMotorcycle engine rebuild
Full engine rebuild or overhaul — piston, rings, bearings and gasket replacement on a stripped-down engine.
10 shopsFull motorcycle service
Scheduled motorcycle maintenance: oil and filters, valve clearances where due, brakes, chain and general safety check.
27 shopsMotorcycle oil change
Engine oil and oil filter replacement for motorcycles and scooters, including a drain plug and level check.
23 shops
Tyres & wheels
Motorcycle tyre fitting
Removing and fitting motorcycle tyres, including balancing and valve replacement.
28 shopsDiamond-cut wheel refinishing and polishing
Bringing back the bright metal face of two-tone alloy wheels: the wheel is turned on a lathe with a diamond-tipped tool that shaves a fraction of a millimetre off the face, leaving fine bright rings, and then lacquered so it does not corrode. Bare alloy wheels can instead be hand-polished to a mirror shine. Each lathe pass removes metal, so a wheel can only be re-cut a limited number of times; painted wheels go under alloy wheel painting, and a bent rim is straightened first.
0 shopsAlloy wheel painting
Refinishing alloy wheels whose paint is scuffed, peeling or corroded: stripping, priming and repainting all four rims in the original or a new colour and finish — gloss, matt or metallic — in a paint booth. Cosmetic only; a bent or cracked rim is straightened first under alloy wheel restoration.
0 shopsAlloy wheel restoration
Straightening bent alloy wheels and repairing kerb damage or cracks to restore the rim's structure.
2 shopsMotorcycle wheel balancing
Balancing motorcycle wheels after tyre fitting or repair to prevent vibration at speed.
4 shopsSpoked wheel lacing and truing
Rebuilding or straightening a motorcycle's spoked wheel: replacing broken or loose spokes, lacing a new rim or hub, and truing and tensioning the wheel so it runs straight and round, before the tyre is fitted back.
0 shopsInner tube replacement
Replacing the inner tube in a tubed motorcycle tyre after a puncture or as routine wear.
0 shopsNitrogen tyre inflation
Filling the tyres with nitrogen instead of ordinary air, after purging the air out. Nitrogen escapes more slowly, so the pressure stays correct for longer; it is usually offered when new tyres are fitted, and the tyres can still be topped up with air later.
0 shopsPuncture repair
Repairing a punctured tyre from the inside where the damage allows it.
11 shopsTyre sale
Helping you choose and buy new or part-worn tyres suited to your vehicle and budget, ready for fitting.
12 shopsSelf-service tyre air
An air point, usually at a service station or car wash, where drivers check and top up their own tyre pressure with a gauge on the hose. It is often free or costs a few cents; no staff do the work. Having the pressure checked by a mechanic, or filling with nitrogen, is a separate service.
0 shopsWheel straightening
Correcting a bent wheel's roundness and run-out on a straightening press or lathe, for steel and alloy wheels alike.
0 shopsWheel swap
Taking one wheel off and fitting another — the spare, or a stored second set — without changing the tyre itself.
0 shops
Car wash & cleaning
Motorcycle wash
Hand washing a motorcycle or scooter, including chain and wheels, using techniques safe for bike finishes and electrics.
10 shopsSelf-service motorcycle wash bay
Renting a wash bay to clean your own motorcycle or scooter with a pressure lance and foam — either a point set up for bikes, sometimes with a gentler lance and an air dryer, or an ordinary car bay the site lets bikes use. No staff do the washing; a bike washed for you by hand is a separate service.
0 shopsWax protection
Applying a coat of wax to clean paintwork by hand or machine, then buffing it off. It adds gloss, makes water bead and roll off, and keeps dirt from sticking for a few weeks to a few months — a lighter, cheaper protection than a ceramic coating. Usually added on after a wash.
2 shops
Bodywork, paint & glass
Ceramic coating
Applying a liquid silica-based (SiO2) protective layer to the paintwork after decontamination and polishing. It cures to a hard, glossy, water-repellent shell that keeps dirt from sticking and lasts years instead of the weeks a wax lasts. The polishing step itself is listed separately.
2 shopsChrome plating of trim and bumpers
Re-chroming or polishing back the bright metal parts of a car or motorcycle — bumpers, grilles, mirror housings, headlamp rims, door handles, mouldings and exhaust tips — when the chrome has pitted, peeled or rusted. Common on classic cars; the parts are removed and plated, then refitted. Painting chrome trim black or body colour is listed separately.
0 shopsClassic car and motorcycle restoration
Bringing a classic or vintage vehicle back to original or better condition: stripping and repairing rusted panels, repainting in the period colour, refurbishing interior trim and, where the shop offers it, rebuilding the mechanical side. Long, quoted projects rather than a single repair.
2 shopsCustom metal fabrication and TIG welding
Making metal parts to order that cannot be bought off the shelf — exhaust sections, brackets, mounts, intake pipes, guards — and welding stainless steel and aluminium with TIG (argon) welding, which these metals need for a clean, strong joint. Used for modified, rare and competition vehicles as well as one-off repairs. Patching rusted body panels on a car is car welding repair.
1 shopDent repair
Repairing dents and creases, including paintless dent removal where the paint is intact.
3 shopsHeadlight polishing & restoration
Machine polishing to clear yellowed or oxidised headlight lenses and restore brightness.
5 shopsInsurance claim repair
Repairing accident damage through the customer's insurer: the shop prepares the estimate, receives the insurer's assessor (perito), agrees the scope with them and repairs the vehicle once approved, so the customer deals with the paperwork as little as possible. Which insurers the shop is approved by, and whether the excess is charged, differ from shop to shop.
6 shopsMotorcycle crash repair
Putting a motorcycle back on the road after a fall or collision: assessing the damage, sourcing the fairings, levers, mirrors, footpegs and other broken parts, checking the frame and forks for misalignment and refitting everything. Quoted per bike; where an insurer pays, the shop also handles the claim.
0 shopsMotorcycle seat re-upholstery
Re-covering a motorcycle or scooter seat whose cover has cracked, faded or torn: stripping the old cover, replacing or reshaping the foam where needed and fitting a new cover in vinyl, leather or a custom design. The bike can usually keep running while the seat is off.
3 shopsPaint protection film
Cutting and fitting thick clear or printed protective film to bodywork panels, made to the vehicle's shape rather than a stock decorative wrap.
1 shopPanel painting
Preparing and spraying a panel with a colour-matched finish, including blending into adjacent panels.
6 shopsPlastic bumper and trim repair
Repairing a cracked, split or torn plastic bumper, spoiler, wheel-arch trim or motorcycle fairing instead of replacing it: the crack is plastic-welded or stapled from behind, broken mounting tabs are rebuilt, the surface is filled and sanded, and the part is repainted to match. Cleaning or dressing faded plastic is plastic trim restoration.
0 shopsPolishing and paint correction
Machine polishing to remove swirl marks and light scratches, with a protective finish.
6 shopsChassis number re-stamping
Stamping a vehicle's identification number back into the chassis when the original has rusted away, been cut out in a repair or become unreadable, with the certificate the ITV inspection asks for so the vehicle can pass and stay legally registered. Usually needed after chassis repairs or on old trailers and trucks.
0 shopsVinyl wrapping
Covering panels, the roof, trim or the whole vehicle in coloured, textured or printed self-adhesive vinyl to change its look without repainting — a colour change, carbon or wood-effect film, stripes or advertising graphics. Reversible and much cheaper than paint. Thick clear protective film is listed separately as paint protection film.
0 shops
Towing & roadside help
Roadside breakdown repair
A mechanic coming out to a vehicle that has broken down on the road or at the customer's premises and fixing it on the spot so it can drive on, when the fault allows it; if it does not, the vehicle is towed instead.
0 shopsJump start and battery call-out
Coming to you to jump start a flat battery, or fitting a replacement battery on the spot.
0 shopsLockout assistance
Opening a vehicle when the keys are locked inside or lost, without damaging the locks.
0 shopsTowing
Recovering a vehicle that cannot be driven and bringing it to the workshop.
