CHCH Honda shop needed pls

[Gremlin]

I'm looking for a honda shop (with a good reputation) near Cranmer Square, and hopefully they are free on wednesday (yes, I know, a good shop, and I want them free almost immediately, next I will ask for the impossible).

Anyway, bike needs an oil change, and I have a client to see, so hopefully I can tie them together. Will need the address of the shop (learning through wises is good ;))

All help appreciated :2thumbsup

Do the oil change yourself - its gotta be better than dealing with the local honda agent.

Either that or take a spin out to Rangiora

Oh dear...

The Honda shop round here is Casbolts on Manchester St. They're not famed for their service

EDIT: I'm not sure what number Manchester St but not far from Moorhouse Ave.

Are you going to be around Wednesday night? You should pop down to the Burger King carpark on Moorhouse Ave for the cruisy Wed night ride

They have a rep for not being the best. I personally have had fantastic service and help from them, i suppose its like all bike shops, some like, some dont

Casbolts is the only one I know of as before, on Manchester St In Central. Goto Pit Lane (Cycle tread) which is just a few shops down and on the same side as Casbolts, they sell cheap oil, reg, s/s or fully synthetic :)
Them and Suzuki (Sportzone) are good to deal with.
I had a few hondas over the last few years and I would always go to Casbolts last... and only if I had to.

Yeah don't go near casbolts honda with a 10 foot barge pole. Try street and sport, they are a good bunch of guys in there. They are 100m up the road from casbolts. They're the triumph dealer but will service any bikes etc.

Don at Pitlane (Moorhouse Ave end of Manchester - it's where a lot of the bike shops are) or the guys next door at Street and Sport. If you don't need to buy anything and you need to have the bike serviced at Honda Casbolts are your only choice in town, once again Moorhouse ave end of Manchester.

cheers guys, I've just arrived in christchurch now, and I will head over to Street and Sport now, and see if they can slot me in.

I will be, and hell yeah, why not. What streets is the carpark in between? Moorhouse is a long street. :niceone:

[onearmedbandit]

Between Manchester and Madras, opposite Hoyts Moorhouse.

ta oab, as long as my business allows, I'll be there (less the panniers for once) :rolleyes:

went to street and sport, workshop had just closed, they open tomorrow at 8, so I'll go there on my way to a client, and see what they can do.

I have to say, your streets are driving me nuts... not used to so many one ways, I miss something, and do a small tour to get back (assuming I don't miss that turn as well) :lol: Someone once said to me, chch has like, one main street.... urrrr don't know when they last visited :weird:

Driving you nuts- Drives us locals nuts too, especially as they keep adding no right turns everywhere as well:mad:
Beware! we get so many people moving here because they can't find their friggin way out again!

Hmm, I've heard mixed comments on Street and Sport...

Duane's bike shop is the go!

[Gremlin]

well, I can't fault the guys at Street and Sport.

Got there this morning around 0830, they said, leave the bike, we'll see if we can squeeze her in. Got the call at 11 to say she was all done, and even been washed :clap:

Don't worry SDU, its not as bad as Welly. I ended up on the motorway heading north twice accidentally (and you can get on easily, but it ain't so easy getting off), and went up and down streets 5+ times (I did know those sections quite well tho)

Sweet! Glen, Phil & crew are always helpful when we are in there. (hav'n't needed to use their workshop though)

Yeah it is a strange place to get around but at least you don't have to stop every few meters for lights.

Duane's bike shop is the go!

Don't forget that Glen & Phil are the owners now and have been making some changes since late last year.
Yes Duane is very good too - Ducati boys in the know only go to him.

All the guys at my work take it to Duane

And when I was having issues with my mighty v4, after taking it to a bike shop they said I'd be better off taking it to Duane as he'd be able to fix it and do a better job! lol

No, im not kidding. A bike shop actually told me to go another shop as I'd get better work done!

[onearmedbandit]

That's some rare honesty!
