Why I like my local motorcycle shop

[cheshirecat]

Because I can stroll in anytime and not feel obliged to buy something.
They give me good deals and I give them strange English beers at Xmas.
I trust them with my bike, even if they don't do absolutely everything I ask them to.
They know their stuff
They are a bit old school and tatty but I like that
They will do an emergency job for me (like get a new tyre on when they know I need the bike asap.)
They helped my friend who is new to bikes and helped her get the thing on the road when everything conspired against her.
They reafirmed my faith in returning to bikes because of the community spirit
They respect newbies and scooters and don't talk down to them
They would let me pay when my paycheck comes if the situation required.

Who are they?
What is your dealer like?

Steve, steve steve....I know they are the Hyo dealer but I have recieved some horrible service from these guys, and not just me. A mate got charged $70 to fit a front tyre! They rebuilt a shock on an FJ120 of mine, charged me $800 then about 2 years later failed me on a warrent because the shock was fucked and then denied ever having touched it!
Barge pole material.
Get arse over bridge or down valley road

Tony Rees would be great to deal with, saltydog?

[saltydog]

Yeah he is mate. Knows his stuff. People from all around get their bikes serviced by him, some riding from Auckland and beyond.
Just dont let him convince you to "just take it for a ride"....you'll end up with it in your garage!

This pretty much sums up Street and Sport in Christchurch, great bunch of guys and always happy to help

I like mine because in addition to the normal reasons, they greet me and Mrs Oakie by our first names when we walk in the door and are quite happy to have a chat while we stroll around the showroom even though they know we have no intention of buying a bike just yet.
