Wild West Honda

[Nagash]

Alright now.. Wild West Honda in New Lynn is my local bikey store and i've bought a few things off these guys, but I gotta say. These guys are absolutely useless..

The third time in a row now i've ordered something and when I call back in a couple of weeks later, they've completely lost all evidence that i ordered it at all!

This is getting real old real fast so i'm now on a quest to find a different bike store..

[gtr boy]

not good for the customer i guess,havent used them yet ,red baron gets my vote,mike does a nice job in there

I was talking to then the other day about the lack of bikes in their store, and they are just not getting the bikes through from the suppliers. Might be the same with the other stuff as they are new and still getting established?

The workshop is good though - I'll be taking the ole' lady for her third service there this month and very happy with previous work.

Before they moved I liked dealing with Haldanes, but haven't tried them since. Would not give coleman's suzuki my custom due to their attitude, unless I had to.

[-df-]

I've had work done there and have to say good price and good service...never had a problem ordering parts.

That said a mate of mine ordered something (can't remember what now) and they hadn't ordered it, but sorted it out and it turned up the next working day.

I know what you mean, service is slow. I try to still give them as much of my business as possible (bought my Hornet from them recently and some other gear), but when it comes to pricing and accessories you best not be in a hurry!

Problem is that most other bike stores are not much better unfortunately...

I unfortunately have to agree with this thread. Got them to do some work on my bike. Kept getting delayed etc. Got my bike back(bonus) but the problems not fixed and no record of what they had done.
They generously emptied my wallet and I was on my may(on the trailer)

Took my bike to AMPS. It was done in one day and for an excellent price.
Hasn't skipped a beat since then

Not to mention they wont work on bikes older than 10 years.

Interesting... I was just there today. Needed to adjust my chain before MotoTT trackday in Taupo tomorrow but I don't have the right size socket at home.

Popped in.. "You guys got 5mins to adjust my chain?"

No worries at all.

Between that, being closer to home than Cyclespot and having a loaner bike they'll get my 6000km service.

No idea about parts but I'll find out if I order the pillion seat cowl through them.

Will try to remember to report back on how the service goes.

My only experience is 6mo back when i popped in to get new front bearings for the gixxer. They were unable to fit me in for a couple days so I ended up finding Adam at henderson motorcycles (completely stoked with Adam - straight up, fair price, accomodating). I got the feeling that WW were a great outfit and I really want to support my local - just need to give them more time i spose. THey do seem like really good guys.

[Nagash]

Oh they're definately a great bunch of people down there, that's why I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt and kept on returning.

But I just haven't received much good when it comes to ordering parts..

Also, if your bike is more than 10yrs old, it is a case of "fuck off, we don't want to know you".

Must have been exceptional.

At the end of the day amps made a promise and delivered well. Thats all I ask.

Dont like getting mucked around for five days!

I got the same from Coleman's Suzuki ... and the bike was originally bought from there and had a long service history there (OK - not by me, but still ... )

True story from 6 months ago.

Me: "I'd like to book in a service for my ZXR"
Colemans: "We've got a 2-3 week wait at the moment"
Me: "mm ok"
Colemans: "Oh, did you buy it from us?"
Me: "Ahh no.."
Colemans: "Ahhhhh actually we probably wouldn't look at it then.. You should try Red Baron. They're just down Gt North Road"

I actually wanted the cam chain tensioner looked as well so it was a decent bit of cash they missed out on. Red Baron were great on the other hand. Booked in that day, sorted the cam chain tensioner with minimal parts.
