 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the sort of motorcycle workshop and shop once you have found you won't need to go anywhere else. At stevelin motorcycles you can buy a motorcycle and have it looked after no matter what you need from mot to new tyres or a complete rebuild. There friendly  team really do try there best to help you from advice to trying there best to squeeze you in to the busy workshop. I would just like to say a big thank you to Steve and all the staff for all the help and support they give me. Happy motorcycling. And keep it shiny side up.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Looked for and found that Stvelin had *in stock* a AJS Tempest scrambler 125cc. Customer service was fantastic from Simon who I dealt with on the phone and also Griff who delivered my Tempest. A small shop offering big service. Keep up the great work. You have a happy customer here. Thank you all. Rob Phillips.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish the service I received was outstanding. Steve and his colleagues were polite, friendly and I felt that nothing was too much trouble for them. I will consider all future motorbike purchases through them and it is reassuring to know that you can still find honest and decent traders. 100% satisfied customer

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Stevelin Motorcycles to everyone, best customer service I have ever had because Steve is open and honest very fair, kind and so helpful. I won’t be taking my bike anywhere else as I know my bike is safe to ride and I will be getting the right information and best products from Stevelin Motorcycles. Thank you ????
