Howard-
I doubt it.
By the sound of it this is a commodity £500 mountain bike that is about 5 years old, and has spent the last 2 years locked in a garden with only occasional use.
I suspect a lot of rusted bolts, and the drive train requiring a load of attention, wheels checked, and not much else... basic service stuff.
He's just in shock at the idea that a service may be £90 (a fifth of the brand new cost in his mind). He now accepts the price of a decent service, I just want to help him with a recommendation that at least says it will be a decent service.

I'm looking for an LBS for a workmate, he needs to service a mountain bike and lives on the Greenwich Peninsula.
Can anyone recommend a good place around there?
