AP Service

s.mac · 13-11-2012, 07:00 PM

I finally got my APs back. To be fair one of the rear callipers was seized, by that I mean all the bolts had seized in the alloy. I had to buy a new one when attempted removal of a bolt resulted in the alloy snapping.

Godspeed carried out a service and re paint. If I had of known I needed a new rear calliper I would have stuck with black but the fronts had already been painted to the new colour.

End result= very happy with the serviced items.
Thanks Ben
£85 for fronts £75 for rears
I'm not sure I have a before shot but here's the after.
I am going to get the AP logo painted in, black.

Blimey that seems very reasonable! So what do they replace? And do they spray them as part of the price or is that something you had done before they serviced them?

All in Graham.
Work done
Callipers stripped and cleaned, I mean fully stripped, check all parts, piston/seals replaced where or what is needed.
Then all paint removed, looks like a powder base coat applied to the calliper that's fooked.
Then final paint of the colour you've chosen, just no decal paint applied.
Looks like new pad retainers and bolts fitted as well.

Very impressed with their work from the pics Steve.
Please clarify price is each and not for the pair? Seems you have had all new bolts and clips replaced too. Were these all additional or as you put it 'All in'?
