Mechanic in South Florida.

I was looking for a good triumph mechanic in South Florida, dealers always seem to charge you an arm and a leg so if anyone has had good experiences with somebody other than a dealer please give a referral.
Thanks.

I have a shop in Melbourne, Frank's Cycle Shop I highly recommend.
I don't know how far south you are but Warren is great. I just bought the wife a Honda 1988 VTC Shadow and he changed out the
hydraulic clutch fluid, front brake fluid, replaced the front brake pad
the rear brake drum pads, replaced the radiator fluid, changed the driveshaft oil put in new plugs in and replaced the battery all for $214.00. The next thing is the front forks and it's gonna br $200.00.
He did my 12K service on my T-100 and replaced my front tire (me880) for $347.00 cost of the tire included

Thanks Durbud but that's a little too far for me, I'm in Miami area.

Come on up to Boynton Beach. Triumph of the Palm Beaches. Charlie is a superb wrench. Expect to pay dealer rates for both parts and labor, but the place is a good spot to hang out while your bike is getting worked on.

Probably take a bit to get an appointment as the recent closure of the Ft Lauderdale store has left them the only dealer for quite a ways around.
