Servicing a Brompton Bike (in Cork)

    I don't see a lot of Brompton chatter here, but can anyone recommend a competent bike shop that has experience servicing brompton bikes?

    For reference, my brompton bike was second hand when I got it, and is probably ~10-12 yo.
    I have done a lot of mileage on it, maybe 15-20,000 km total, and was not a light fella when I started doing this. Was a bit cavalier about servicing it. But got it serviced last year in waterford.

    However the rear hinge is now gone on it, and its a process that is very brompton specific to service or replace (needs its own tool apparently that is quite expensive). Would like to get it done by professionals.

    I am in Cork, and apparently Halfords are a service agent for bromptons. Would anyone recommend them, or another local bike shop ?

    Might be a bit of a trek, but www.highnelly.ie in Co.Limerick would be highly recommended. Nobody with more Brompton experience in Ireland than them.
