Bike mechanic - caliper repair

    I have been going to the same bike mechanic for years now but in the last year he hired a new guy who on the two occasions I went to him has messed up the repair, not putting enough oil in my forks or damaging my rear caliper. I've no more time for that as its causing me problems when I don't need them.
    So now its time for a change, can anyone recommend a decent mechanic in Dublin, preferably city centre for the ride home and convenience of public transport.

    I've used Ken Whelan before when I was in Dublin, great service I'd use him over my regular guy if I lived closer. He's just off mount St.

    Place is called Autocycles.

    Megabikes would be my suggestion. They are pricey but great customer service, work always done brilliant and great bunch of lads.
