It's all in the title really. I'm new to the area and I need a decent LBS to get my servicing done. My previous choice was BAB in Burrington, which was expensive, but the service was fantastic.
I've had a couple of disappointing services at one LBS recently. That might just been down to bad luck, but I've only swapped in the last couple of years to shop servicing from DIY and I wouldn't have suffered two on the trail stoppages if I'd done it myself. Both failures were show stoppers and could have been avoided with a simple bolt check.
Any and all advice is appreciated.

Try bicycle chain. I use the Bridgwater branch all the time for any work. There always helpful and get things done quickly and properly

Bicycle chain or Ralph Colmans. Both are excellent but BC will probably get it turned round quicker if you're in a rush.

I've never used the workshop but the sales and service at Ralph Colman has never disappointed me.

Kings are sh@te. A Specilized dealer that wouldn't help a Specialized owner.
