Bad Service or par for the course?

[Vellaterra]

Mate as far as I am concerned the Dealers give themselfs a Bad name. When I bought my Busa brand new Dec 2008, I did 1,000ks then in the new year called the same dealer and spoke to the rep that sold me the bike. He told me that i could not bring it in for its first service the first week they were back from holidays. I thought O.K. They sugested I wait another 2 weeks before they could look at it. I was pissed as they knew I would be back considering the time I bought the bike. They didnt even sugest to just drop it off and as a gesture they could fit it in. I know everyone can be busy at times, but if I ran my Plumbing buisness that way with warrenty, service or call back enquiries with my clients I would not exist. I ran a professional outfit regardless if a client had a leaking tap or a burst hot water tank.
These unprofessional outfits dont deserve our hard earned money. They think its their god given right. Well I vote with my wallet, I do my own servicing and if a dyno tune is required I call up and ride her in minus fairings so I get charged minimum on labour $. I hate being cheated by the cheats. Not everyone is like that BUT 1ST IMPRESSIONS COUNT in my book.
