Service?

Hi. I have a 2015 Vespa 300 GTS SS that I leave in Palm Desert. It doesn't get a lot of use, and summers down there can be brutally hot. Last time I was down, (home is Oregon) the front brake failed, and brake fluid dripped out from underneath the glove box hatch. I assume the brake line has a crack in it. Anyway, I'd like to get it serviced and it looks like my options are either take it to Riverside and Malcom Smiths store or down to San Diego.

Thoughts?

Thx
Mike

Malcom Smith is a legend, but I don't know anything about the shop.

A friend of mine just bought a Montessa trials bike at Malcom Smith. Malcom just happened to be there (gent in the middle, his son is on the left). I am sure their service is quality...my friend is rather picky (made the trip from Arizona to buy).

I live in Rancho Mirage and take my Lx150 to Moto Joe's at 74104 Hwy 111 in Palm Desert. He works on all sorts of motorcycles.
Look him up. He might even be able to retrieve it.
I highly recommend his shop..check out hisFacebook…🌴😎🛵

Thx desert sun. I will check them out when I get down there. I didn't know about the shop there, but it's definitely closer than Riverside.
