What's with crap motorcycle workshop service?

Viagra was originally invented for angina sufferers, to direct a rush of blood to the heart. Turns out they must have been aiming a bit low.

I wouldn't ever go back to a place that mistreated my ride like that.

I remember when I sold my 32GTR, it was being picked up by a car delivery outfit.... the delivery cunt was trying to push it around from the fucking spoiler rather than the rear 1/4 or bootlid.

Told him not to push it off the spoiler and he spat the dummy saying he does this shit all the time.

I was -this- close to telling him to fuck off and organising the freight myself, but I was too pussy.

They really shouldn't be in the business of handling vehicles if they clearly have no respect for anyone else's property.

Ha I've seen brand new cars being thrashed and doing burn outs by the delivery people.

Update, so I spoke with the owner and found that the mechanic had taken offence to my asking about a discount, but agreed that he didn't handle it well and will be speaking with him, I'm fine with that, that's all that needs to be done so that's all good

Yawn fest. Must have gotten your cuddle then?

The brilliant bit about viagra tho is that it can be used two completely opposite ways. If you take too much by putting it in your mouth you can put some in your shoes and it will make you limp.

Personally ... I'm thinking your "Don't do business with" list will get bigger ... even the fact that you state here you HAVE a list might suggest you have had difficult problems in the past .. OR are just BEING difficult. You made no mention of not paying the bill ... so MY guess is you're a whinging wimp.
.

Or maybe the OP (like myself) expects the service to go as promised for the price promised and in the time frame promised or to be kept reasonably informed if there are issues. Getting a bit shitty if this doesn't happen or if some cocksucker mechanic gives you attitude is IMO reasonable and the OP says he didn't get even a bit shitty.

He comes across as someone I'd probably tell to fuck off too.

Now that is a great example of NZ customer service which, when compared to the level of service you see here, is sadly lacking.

If "Cocksucker Mechanic's" give you attitude ... you take it to their (the) boss ... and see what his/her attitude is.

Then ... if that doesn't sort it ... you take your business elsewhere. Not doing that and whinging on KB is not the way to sort it. But it does give us a laugh ...

Fail.

He was promised a service level that was not given. And he had to pay full price for it when he did complain.

Mechanic should be looking for a new job.

It's a sad fact that a significant proportion of motorcyclists have an attitude that just oozes arrogance.

Poor business attitude or poor customer attitude? I think you'll find it's one of those chicken and egg stories.

At the end of the day though, it is the customer who chooses which business to give their money to as opposed to business choosing which customers they give their services to

And any customer who treats me like something they've just stood in gets encouraged to spend their money elsewhere.

Its pretty sad that there are a lot of shops out there that give abysmal service. But its also sad that there are a number of people that post that hold their own ignorance in high esteem. Like tarring all shops with the same brush.
