Is there room for a new bike shop in WGTN

**snuffles** · 11th July 2006, 15:17

Guys and gals what are your thoughts?

**James Deuce** · 11th July 2006, 15:20

No.

You'd have to open a Moto Guzzi shop. That's all about that's left for exposure.

Mind you, if you open one, gizz us a job?

I live for your positive comments and can continually feel the love (running down the back of my legs)

What's available now...
TSS
Motomart
Sawyer/Motorad
Boyles
Wgtn Motorcycles
Boys Toys (2 road bikes - hardly counts)
A place in Kapiti (can't remember it's name)

In Wellington Central yeah I'd like to see a decent shop in competition with the marketed for the masses WGtn M/cycles. From what I've been told and talking to them TSS and Motomart seem to have the Hutt Valley sorted. Colemans should open a franchise....

well about 1/2 of them are slack fuckers who dont give a shit and one dosent care unless you want to buy a HD off them.
Comes down to service and price and only 2 stores take both those awards.
Why are none of them open sunday?

I'd say because most of them already work 6 days a week and need at least one day of a week. I reckon that we're lucky that they open for as long as they do on Sat....

You don't have enough asians in Wellington - they'll work 7 days a week for nothing and give service with a smile.Just what is wrong with Kiwi's? They want their life,and to live it too!

**bobsmith** · 11th July 2006, 15:37

Service with smile??/!!!!

Man you're in the wrong country for that, even with asian workers here. I tell ya, relative to service in asian countries (well when I say this, I only speak for south korea) I say all the asian workers I've seen in NZ are too bitter for no apparent reason... It must be a part of being allowed to work in this country.

Not fair, I have always had good service from that shop, buying Suzukis and after sales support. I reckon treat people decently and they usually are decent back.

do you think you would sell more bikes on a monday or a weekend day??

**crazybigal** · 11th July 2006, 15:44

Im just going by the service i get when i go in there and other friends of mine who say the same. I love my suzuki but parts!!! man are they overpriced!

That's great. The salesman can take his kids out of school on Monday so he can spend some time with them and if his wife works Mondays her employer won't mind giving her every Monday off.

I'm sure you are and yep, I've heard others comment about the service.
I have been a customer for years and find that if I walk in and they recognise me its "would you like a cup of tea" and "how can we help"
But if it is new staff - they see a woman and think I'm there with my boyfriend and ignore me.
I have bought parts overseas and taken them in to be fitted..they probably don't like it but who cares, at least they are getting the work.
