After months without a sale I went in to the shop interested in buying a used cruiser myself, they never mentioned my father’s bike saying they had nothing in the cruiser line.
I informed my father and he went in to find out why it was not selling and was told it wouldn’t sell that he should try Trade Me.
As he was getting ready to take it away he noticed the clutch cover had a deep gouge in it the left indicator and mirror were smashed off and clutch leaver was bent. He went back into the shop for an explanation and was told whilst moving his bike outside they failed to extend the side stand and dropped the bike. He asked if they would repair the damage and they said they would. A couple of months latter he received a call from the shop saying he needed to pick-up his bike as it was taking up room. The bike had not been repaired they said they wouldn’t fix it.
He now has a bike he can only sell as a wreck as it isn’t warrantable. :angry: ]]> Turnkey133 https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/2587-Maidstone-Yamaha-A-very-dodgy-bike-shop
