Now that's what I call SERVICE!!!

[Pex Adams]

Yes, I do whatever the hell I like - I enjoy making my own choices and I'm loving the result!

Same thing happened to me, but I just thought it was my responsibility to take care of my bike and book it's services, I guess I been like that since I stopped needing somebody to hold my hand....... What sort of relationship were you hoping for Pex? Where's the Love? and wheres those two pies and two cokes you owe me?

Pull ya head out of your ass for a change, and actually read what is written, or didn't they teach you to do that at schools in Tawa

This tread was about sales and services guys going the extra mile to help out a guy, a guy who hadn't spend a dime in the shop before hand.

If you want to thank Pete and the guys at WMC for the way they've treated you then go ahead, its a free country. As I said before "do whatever the hell you like - you always do!!!"

I'm sure they'll bend over backwards now to make you happy - cause thats what you want isn't, someone to make you happy - oh wait their the love!!!

[Lord Derosso]

Well I am going to put 10 cents in as well. When I rang WMCC a year ago I knew I wanted a 600cc something. They had just paid cash for what I am now riding and insisted I had to get on the bus and have a look. I didn't even test ride her once I had seen her. Pete was the salesman and he went out of his way to help, gave me the cheapest insurance possible, extended the warranty two months and I did get reminder notices re WOF etc. Since then I have gone in about tyres and little things and staff have come outside and looked the bike over recommending tyres etc etc. Never a problem. In fact I have to wave them away each time when I just want to browse the bikes in the shop. I have had great service from TSS as well but I want to point out that good service is where you find it in any sort of situation.

Needed WOF last week - didnt want to leave bike in town all daywith hassles of getting back to the bike shop after work etc etc - HA ! Testing station on Basin Reserve.- Rang them, yes come up to 4.30pm for bikes - Left work early, got home checked bike over and attached current reg etc - got there at 3.25pm - Sorry, bike tester leaves at 3.30pm !! WHAT ! Hang on, will check with him. No problems mate, I will do yours before taking off. Now thats bloody good service. Good chat too about the SH** that he gets to see.

Now just saving up for a C service on my bikes since shes at 3000 miles....
Spot you guys soon Pete.

If you want to thank Pete and the guys at WMC for the way they've treated you then go ahead, its a free country. As I said before "do whatever the hell you like - you always do!!!"

Thats coz I'm not a sheep!

And yes it is a free country as you pointed out.

As I said before, Therefore yes I do whatever I like. You should too.

Hamish went out of his way to get us that big sale. He tried pretty hard out to do everything he could for us. Now you shit on him, you've already forgotten what he did for us. Well I haven't.

[Pex Adams]

That's cause you don't know which paddock has the best grass yet, you'll just keep jumping from paddock to paddock, playing one off against the other. You forget those who have looked after you right from the start, all the time, everytime! Not those, that when it suits them, they'll help.

Anyways, I think its great, that people are giving credit to all the various shops, it shows that people are getting their machines looked after, by great people.

If you want to thank Hamish for the great service he's given you then great. Its a free country, do whatever the hell you like - you always do!!!

As a total bike enthusiast I'm happy talking shit all day about bikes. To buyers or fellow enthusiasts, simply because that's what I do.
Sometimes, we get so busy we can't get to everyone. Some of those people walk out disgruntled and that's a shame. But despite the fact that some of those disgruntled people think we were simply chatting with 'mates' and couldn't be fucked chatting to them, they'd also be fucked off if we were chatting with them and we 'ditched' them to chat with the 'potentially disgruntled' ones. Hope that makes sense.

Ever since Crasherfromwayback did a great job selling a cheap scooter to my 17 year old daughter, I have total loyalty to him and WMCC. Our family have bought 6 bikes from there, none of them Harleys.

I have found the service to be great even when busy.
Courtesy works both ways, I try to treat sales people decently, and I find that they do that in return.

[flame]

Hey guys, it's not always easy to please people, I too work as a slave to the public for a lot of my day, and while I do my very best to go the extra mile for my clients, it's not always posible with today's demands.
Im sure all the Welly biker shops want to give you a pleasureable experience, and personally Ive had quite a few bike dealings (as some of you know!) hehe. All of which have given great service. But it's really nice when someone gives you back the service and care which exceeds your personel expectation. Buying a new bike is something special, but my last purchase was made even more pleasureable because of the professional and genuine caring attitude of the team involved. Thanks so much you guys at TSS! I now have my dream bike and you continue to go out of your way to help and make motorcycling all of the fun it meant to be. (though.....come on now!!! could ya do something about the dam weather so I can get out and ride it!!!!!!!!)

[skelstar]

flame is here! Things must be getting bad...Pex, Dafe, kiss and make up huh?

[Fatjim]

It's different for chicks, thats a fact.

Although rumour has it that Stu from TSS finds me attractive.


And yes Flame, those wheels ........

[Fatjim]

Pete/Dave

Since you guys are having a public stoush I'm gonna say something publicly.

I count you both as mates, so take this in a "nice" way; both of you pull your heads in. Don't let your years of friendship go down the toilet because of kiwibiker.

Pete, buy Dave those pies, I'll even come along if there's cheese in them.

[Sparky Bills]

If only bike shops could talk!

Oh there would be some stories to be told!
We take the good with the bad.
Ive had good times and bad times.
But the good ALWAYS over rides the bad!

I love what i do, and dont expect to be changing jobs anytime soon!

Oh and if your buying pies, then go to Rays Pies and Fries on Kapiti Rd in Paraparaumu! They are the best!!!

[dickytoo]

That's a luvverly offer....and strangley attractive considering I have been offshore for a week....there are quite a few of us out here who could avail ourselves of your "services" if your day job is going a bit slow........

you do know what he looks like, don't you?

just kidding, Pete. If you ever go back to selling Kwakas, let me know and I'll come and sample your service!

[Crasherfromwayback]

you do know what he looks like, don't you?

just kidding, Pete. If you ever go back to selling Kwakas, let me know and I'll come and sample your service!

The man with green blood! Hey mate....I'll have that info for you tomorrow.
Took the day off yesterday to play golf (badly, sprayed the ball round like mad womans shit!) and played catch up today. I'll PM ya tomorrow.

[Blackflag]

just kidding, Pete. If you ever go back to selling Kwakas, let me know and I'll come and sample your service!

He does sell them. I'm getting one off him this week.
Eh Pete?!




Pete?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Pete?

You own it Bruva!

That's cause you don't know which paddock has the best grass yet, you'll just keep jumping from paddock to paddock, playing one off against the other.

You purchase all your riding gear from Sawyers, as do I - In particular - Kerry, the guy I introduced you to.
You followed me there and since that day you're convinced he's the man!
Is that grass not the best for you?

You service your bike at Dave Andersons Suzuki, as did I.
You followed me there! Are you not convinced they're the shit!
Is that grass not good enough for you?

I purchase my bike from whoever makes me happy and whoever gets me what I'm looking for and whoever has the deal that suits me.

But your expert opinion suggests I don't know where the best grass is?
Yet you rave about the two places I introduced you to, the two places you religiously go!
Isn't this plainly obvious to you that you talk a load of shit?

Next time you speak up, give facts - Not bullshit!

Now you claim I play one of against the other? Again you are full of shit!
Pipe up now and tell me when I have ever played one store off against another.......You virtually know every bike deal I've ever made, so if anyone knows, you would.......

This as far as I'm concerned is your credibility on the line here. If you can't back it up, you can basically fuck off!!! I ain't putting up with plain lies in a public forum.

BACKUP YOUR BULLSHIT NOW AND TELL ME WHAT ONE TIME I PLAYED A STORE OFF AGAINST ANOTHER!!!
