Where to find good gear in Wellington?

Good work eh, sometimes it's like they don't want your money.

Well if they couldn't be bothered selling me the gloves and pants, why would I show any interest in a bike, Duh silly me I didn't see the sign that said "purchase a bike to recieve Great service" Never mind us mentally challenged have plenty of shops that make us welcome.

I went into TSS in Lower Hutt, and they treated me like DOG CRAP!!!, wanted gloves, and pants...what they didn't know was I also wanted a bike..
They lost over $5000.00 in sales... good on ya TSS glad you lived up to the reputation I had heard about you.

Good lesson there, treat every customer well, because you don't know if and when they will be back.

Many years ago (more than 10) my then 18 year old daughter bought a 50cc scooter from Wellington Motorcycles. I was guarantor so went with her. We were new to Wellington, didn't know one bike shop from another.

Luckily Pete McDonald was the sales guy.

I was so impressed by him, and the way he treated her with patience and respect, as is she were buying the most expensive bike in the shop, that I decided there and then that this is who I would buy any bike off, if I had the choice.

Well I have bought 4 bikes off Pete since then, my partner 2. And it has always been a good experience.

Pete is a dude pity he doesn't sell the gear too...though I do find the range a bit lacking at WMCC...specially for chicks - unless you want to dress up like a Harley riders mole that is...

I found Boyles good ...they have limited gear in store but will get almost anything in for you to try and buy!

Agreed. I haven't had any bad experiences in Wellington shops, I have bought gear from most. But the choice is pretty limited.

My current jacket was actually bought from Peter Stevens in Adelaide. The accessories department was bigger than any I have ever seen in New Zealand and I must have tried on about 20 jackets.

Awww shucks! Just so you know...even though I'm bike sales rather than acc sales, you only need to come see me when you want gear and together we'll go and beat up the acc sales team for a hot deal! Customers of mine will NEVER pay retail for gear!
