I have always sent stuff to TF in the past, but it's maybe not the same since being sold on ?
Some other places look a bit better on cost too. Loco posts on here and seems to offer a good service ?
based in Glasgow, so courier to whoever, so location not critical

Based in North wales. Did a good job on a set of forks for me. They have been recommended by others as well.
another vote for Stendec here; wouldn't go anywhere else.
Brilliant service and a great job on my Lefty by Evans!
Another one here for Stendec & Loco
+1 Loco,nice bloke,great coms and fast service
i let my lbs do them or send them to whoever
Do loco or Stendec do DT Swiss stuff??
I have used Loco for Fox & Rockshox, superb service, advice and prices.
tf are owned by other people but tim flooks is still in the workshop so it is still the same place. but i'd be tempted to try out loco myself next time.
yeh defo loco tuning good prices fast service , gets the job done and returns it like brand new 🙂
Was always happy with Tim Flooks' work, but will in future give mine to Box at BAB as he's very local to me (Somerset).
>Brilliant service and a great job on my Lefty by Evans!
interesting as a riding buddy took his lefty into evans to fix a leaky seal and service and they completely f---ed it up. Dunno if they put too much oil in or what but it was locked solid. He took it back to the branch he put it in and they admitted they'd sent it off to another branch/workshop to get it done, so they couldnt explain or solve the problem and it had to go off again.
Personally I'd cut out the risk of incompetence from a national chain with a poor reputation for customer service and go to an expert.
You don't need to look to far into Evans system to learn that they send the suspension servicing to a central small team of specialists (experts) who in my experience did a great job and I would personally recommend them and use them again.
thanks all - Loco or stendec it is then.
Wouldn't touch Stendec- lots of bad stories.
TFtuned or Loco for me..
STENDEC every time !
Definatly not Stendec, they have a terrible reputation.
Says a lot when they are the official UK service centre for Cane Creek with the Double Barrel, and Cane Creek suggested I send it back to the USA for a general service rather than 'risk the current UK service centre (under review).
I had a rear shock serviced by TFT around six months ago. The shock hadn't been serviced in a long time (at the hands of the previous owner) and was suffering. Got some great advice from TFT as to what best to do and they sourced the parts and had the shock back to me really quickly. I'd definitely recommend them.
hob nob - wise up.
dave [stendec] services team crc on the world cup along with all wc ccdb riders ffs ?????
Loco is very helpful, so I know where I'll be sending mine
well out of all of that there is nowt negative said about Loco - so reckon that's where I'll be sending the kit. thanks all
Keep away from Stendec, from personal experience they take useless to a whole new dimension
Stendec all day long, Dave does a great job, on forks and shox's and has set up several bikes for me, sag and spring setting etc and transformed them from great rides to stunning ones and always has loads of cool stories from the world cup. My vote every time
Simon/Loco, decent bloke to deal with.
TF or Mojo not had any experience with Loco but I would stay away from Stendec from experience

Firstly, did, for a year. Doesn't any more as they have been on Marzocchi for the last 12 months.
I'm well aware of the reputation of them, and have seen first hand, some of the truly appaling workmanship on more that one occasion.
There are plenty of better alternatives.
Loco is 10-15% less than TF, so think I will give them a go
