No he's not - just got heaps of experience fixing bikes - and he's honest.

http://www.colemans-suzuki.co.nz/ is the local suzuki dealer - SARGE on this site works for them.

I've never had a bad job done at Colemans.
Never had a bad job done at Kerry's either.

Colemans are a good lot. I've had a bad experience with a Suzuki dealer on the shore (yeh, we all know who I'm talking about, just wish not to name...) I asked for a quote for a 2005 GSXR1000 first service. Was told approx $135 give or take. When I picked up the bike they charged $230, I complained about the wide difference with the quote and they dropped it to $195. I paid up and grumped off. To make things even more annoying I had to chase up the warranty book, the hadn't even bothered to fill it in. They had actually LOST the book..... It's funny to think that we had only bought the bike from them two weeks prior............. People hear alot about good reps but when it comes to a bad rep, it sticks and it doesn't budge for a long time.

Ok I've had me winge... :done:

Hey mate, I highly recommend Colemans Suzuki (i would say that though wouldnt I???) on the corner of Grundy street and K'Rd... They are very busy, but do a good job :niceone:

Personally i dont like Cyclespot or Holeshot...

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR WARRANTY YOU NEED TO TAKE IT TO A SUZUKI DEALERSHIP, COLEMANS AND HALDANES ARE BOTH ACCEPTABLE

Stick to these two then - they both have decent reps. Have only dealt with Colemans and they seem fine, dealt with them several times.

They missed out shagged wheel bearings while swapping tyres.......but it was a rush job - and they dropped everything to finish the job when I just turned up at random. - I appreciate that.

Corner of K'Rd and Gundry. Drop in and tell Sarge I called him a fat bastard:devil2:

Mate most shops are like that - just had my bike serviced at Botany honda - over filled the oil - no wonder the bike seems soooo sluggish......

Taking it back tomorrow to get a new chain and sprockets fitted- Will also ask them why 1 hour old oil is already murky brown.......:mellow:

I think I'm gonna stick to Kerry from now on - even if I have to take a taxi to work for a couple of days.....a trustworthy mechanic is worth his weight in the proverbial precious stuff.
