I am so lucky that my local shop kicks ass. They have never fucked anything up on my bike, and if they do they fix it, no questions asked. I've been a loyal customer since '05 because they've earned my loyalty. Sorry you have sucka a bad shop Tigger, I don't know how you stayed calm.

As far as doing your own work Kell, I took a engine rebuilding course years ago and the first thing he told us was that everything goes on the way it came off. One thing that can help is to take pictures as you take things off so you can see how it goes on. Having a repair manual helps a lot. If you do have someone that does work on their own bike it would be a great idea to give them a hand. Its a great way to learn (if they know what they are doing)O

Not unheard of unfortunately, sorry they screwed ya over, but it is best this way, at least you wont be tempted to go back!
For those who think theres "gotta be more to the story", here's one for ya... Paid a contractor to make some repairs on one of my commercial properties. They came out, did a job they swore was up to par. A week later a truck drives over it, and its supposed to be rated to withstand regular traffic. THEN I get a call from the local inspector. Not only did they do a shitty job, they didnt pull permits. When contacted they were certain they were up to par and would take care of everything. Several weeks later, after many calls because they hadnt resolved it, I got a letter in the mail telling me they were refunding my cost and I needed to look elsewhere to remove the shit job they had done and get it done to code. No fault on my part other than using a shitty contractor that was highly recommended, so its not always a "more to it". Karma is a bitch however, and the county and local govt will make sure they dont get any business, and after a quick call to the BBB...Im sure they regret not doing the job right in the first place! Tig I would highly recommend calling them in to corporate and the BBB, if only for the satisfaction of knowing you did it. |
