I chose a local shop that services mostly Chinese scoots, but whose owner is confident enough in his skills to take on a Vespa (with the bench manual supplied, of course).
First, the parts I bought from ScooterWest:
1.Variator overhaul kit (belt, rollers, sliders, nut)
2. Brake pads
3. Titanium spark plug (sounds high-end, no?)
4. Assorted extra bits in case
5. Canister filter
Second, the service highlights:
All service instructions per the manual
Replace variator parts
Brake job
Remove/check clutch bell (it was fine)
Remove/exorcise a dirt dauber nest that was built into an outside oil line (like, what is that even?!)
Remove engine to replace spark plug
The total cost for everything was like, $280.
That's pretty good, right?
