I'm working for Queenstown Motorcycles

Just until its warmer... then I'm on the road again! So if you wait until its warm you may be too late! Won't be back in the NI until at least November... And it's not that cold... it's not even snowing!

All nice and smooth although $150 for a change of oil seemed a bit steep since $90 was just the labor (1.5 hours to drain the oil and put new one. whatever).
I could do it myself but I didn't have the proper tools.

Anyway, the next day I took my wife's bike for an identical operation. She has a '99 Honda Rebel.
Same price. Looked at the invoice: "oil filter - $10".
Since the Rebel doesn't have an oil filter I asked the guy why am I being charged for one. He mumbled something and he called somebody else.
He said and I quote: "Eh, I thought the bike has an oil filter, this is why it's on the invoice but not to worry, I'll make another invoice without the oil filter".

So, if I wasn't aware of this they would have ripped me off. I don't care about the $10, I care about the fact that who knows what else they "think" the bike might have. The gesture, not the money.

I wonder if they really changed the oil or they just thought they did it.

So I'd advise avoiding Mt. Eden Motorcycles if you can.

Anybody can recommend an honest guy that can do simple maintenance on bikes (like oil change) at reasonable prices and maybe also Warrants of Fitness?

Thanks.[/QUOTE]

If they have been in business since 1937? they must be doing something right!

Obviously not anymore.

Obviously not anymore.

Not in business anymore?

Or "doing something right"? - Well sure, too easy - if that means living up to their slogan..
