Why I like my local motorcycle shop

[AD345]

Silver Fern Imports - Gt South rd Takanini.
Brett & Lisa, awesome couple - nothing is too much trouble for them.

I can drop in for a coffee, put anything on my account and get the standard Victory owners discount.

When the bike is being serviced I have my pick of loaners (no scruffy shop runabout that leaves my knees up under my chin)

They'll open up on a Sunday for any urgent work and have travelled hours to pick up a bike with a puncture.

The best service I've ever had.

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

And again (x2) for me too!

Triple X Motorcycles in East Tamaki...

I've had some hard asks in the last 7 months, but the boys have always delivered, and when the kilometres get racked up in quick fashion, you have to have a reliable bike under you.

One difference to your first post... just about every time I walk in, I am buying something, or setting plans in motion to buy something, or asking if something has arrived so I can buy something... No wonder they like me so much

Hmmmmm, interesting. My experience has been a little different.

Ditto here too, not really first hand though. They did a horrible job of fixing my mate's gpx250. In fact, I'm not even sure they fixed anything at all. It still doesn't work $1000 and 6 months later!

I've had pretty mixed experiences with Boyle Kawasaki too, but they're good blokes and do a decient job more often than not I reckon.

Boyle's Kawasaki just off the Basin Resverve

cheers,

+1, top guys. Never had any problems with them.

Advance motorcycles here in Dunedin for me. I'm a mechanical nublet but they always look after me and never talk down to me.
Have great advise and will get as much business as I can afford to put their way.

When my bike stopped running in town the other day the boss came out in the rain in his van and picked it up, all for some cold brews.

Street & Sport in CHCH are good chaps - they don't care if I ride a Honda they are happy to chat bikes. Mind you they also freely offer rides on their demos.......... and would happily trade...............

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?

My experience with Wellywood MCC has been great !!

My experience with Wellywood MCC has been great !!

Yeah I like going there despite I'd never buy a Harley in a month of Sundays. Even though they know that they always chat and help my pro Harley friends out.

Avon City Suzuki here in ChCh would have to be the best shop I have ever dealt with.
Friendly staff
Good prices
Non Pushy

Just a bloody good bunch of guys !!!!!

Watson motorcycles, Kumeu, AK. Very friendly and patient. Look like a motox shop but look after both road and off road.
