Motorcycle Servicing, Repairs and MOTs in West Sussex

At White’s Bodyworks, we work on motorcycles the same way we work on cars: properly, methodically, and with respect for the machine. Bikes are different beasts. Access is tighter, tolerances matter more, and a rushed job shows up fast. We’ve seen the results of poor workmanship far too often.

We’re based in Hassocks, serving riders across West Sussex, including Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Hurstpierpoint and surrounding areas.

Whether your bike needs routine servicing, MOT prep, mechanical repair or attention after a knock, we’ll give you straight answers and sensible options.

Motorcycle Servicing That Reflects Real Riding Conditions

Most people don’t ride their bikes the way the service book imagines. Short runs, winter storage, long dry spells, or weekend blasts all take their toll in different ways. In practice, we often see bikes with low mileage but tired fluids, sticking brakes or perished rubber.

A proper motorcycle service with us usually includes:

  • Engine oil and filter change
  • Brake inspection and adjustment
  • Chain, sprockets and alignment checks
  • Tyres, pressures and wear assessment
  • Suspension and steering checks
  • Battery, charging and electrics
  • Coolant and brake fluid condition
  • General fastener and safety inspection

We’ll also flag anything that isn’t urgent but is starting to move in that direction. That sort of advice saves money long-term, even if it’s not what some garages like to say.

Motorcycle MOTs Without the Guesswork

An MOT on a bike can feel hit-and-miss if you don’t know what testers actually look for. We do. Lighting, brakes, suspension play, steering bearings, exhaust condition and emissions all come under scrutiny, and minor faults can tip a pass into a fail.

We often see:

  • Loose or corroded exhaust mounts
  • Binding brakes from lack of use
  • Headlamp alignment issues
  • Tyres are legal but right on the limit

If your bike is borderline, we’ll tell you before it fails. If it does fail, we’ll explain exactly why and what it will take to put it right.

Motorcycle Repairs, Big and Small

From worn clutches and brake rebuilds to electrical faults and accident damage, we handle motorcycle repairs with the care they demand. Bikes don’t forgive bodged work, and neither do riders.

Typical repair work includes:

  • Brake repairs and upgrades
  • Suspension work and bearing replacement
  • Clutch and gearbox issues
  • Electrical diagnostics
  • Cooling system repairs
  • Minor accident and cosmetic damage

We won’t throw parts at a problem. Diagnosis comes first, then a clear explanation of what needs to be done and why.

Realistic Pricing Guidance

Motorcycle work varies widely depending on make, age and access, but these are realistic ranges based on what we actually see in the workshop:

  • Basic motorcycle service – approx. £120–£180
  • Full motorcycle service – approx. £220–£350
  • Motorcycle MOT – usually £30–£35
  • Brake pad replacement – £70–£180 depending on setup
  • Chain and sprocket replacement – £180–£350+
  • Diagnostic work – £60–£120 depending on time required

We always discuss costs before starting work. No one likes surprises, especially when it comes to bikes.

How We look After Your Bike

  1. Initial conversation – you tell us what’s going on, or what the bike needs
  2. Inspection – we check the bike properly, not just the obvious bits
  3. Clear explanation – what’s needed now, what can wait, and why
  4. Agreed work – no assumptions, no hidden extras
  5. Careful repair or service – done properly, torqued correctly, tested
  6. Handover – we talk you through what we’ve done and what to keep an eye on

In practice, most issues are identified early when someone takes the time to look.

  • No talking down, no hard sell
