May/June 2009:

$250 service ER6-F and fit aftermarket bars.
$780 service GSXR750, with 2 new tyres, WOF and general inspection.
$160 on Bike to Bike comms.
$199 on mountable camera (via KB member)

While im on the subject...all of the above (except the camera) was with MT Eden Motorcycles...

On their website they currently have vouchers for $25 off a Wof, the same off new tyres and the same off a service...So I subsequently had all three done thinking I'd get a reasonable (around 10% as it worked out) discount thanks to these vouchers...but NO!...you can only use one at a time...

Doesn't say that on the vouchers...

But besides that...wouldn't it be good customer service to allow all three given this was the second service I'd had in two weeks and over a $1000 spent?...Am I being unreasonable?

Sounds very reasonable to me. I assume you mentioned it to them at the time? They should at least have honoured them for you then gone quick-smart and changed the wording on the vouchers if they didn't want to do it for everyone.

Send them an email or a letter. That will reinforce what (presumably) you told them in person. If I were them I would send you a wee thankyou for taking the time to write and express your concerns.

In All fairness to them...I sent an email through and within fifteen minutes they called me and I had the $50 in my bank account the next day...

Im not the type to jump up and down instore...they just would never have gotten another cent off me...but they set it straight so good on them.
