stay clear of them, they will fiddle the paperwork and rip you off. done it to me,told me I as getting 5.5k for my blade then done the paperwork and thought no more off it, then found I had an extra couple of grand to pay and they said they forgot to put the paperwork in in time and missed the reduced interest deal so I was paying full wack. then after that they quoted me £300 for a service and when it was done billed me for near £600 and on top of that they messed up the timing, demanded £100 to see what they had done wrong claiming it was my aftermarket cans causing the problem.took it to another duke guy and he fixed it....for £30 conforming they messed the timing up.a fella I know has an 848 for sale http://www.usedcarsni.com/2008-Ducati-848-Ballymena-118868692 bike is like new and he has a ton of extras on it.
Saw that bike funnily enough but out of my price range atm Have a baby on the way in december. I agree about millsport rite enough, priced finance on a new 848 3500 deposit, 5000 final payment and they wanted 87 quid a month!! By my reckoning thats about 2k interest on a 1000 loan!!
yeah they are chancers, I had a full argument with the owner after his (non qualified trainee) mechanics messed my bike up and had the cheek to blame me for the error.started all this rubbish about how skilled they are and how it was my exhaust as it wasnt a termi. I told them a friend at Riders Ducati even backed up my theory that the valve timing was off, he said they didnt know what they were talking about.after when I got it looked at by another duke place he didnt even say sorry or offer any sort of refund.They also like to quote services without vat and labour oh and charged tool fee's and £20 for oil disposal
No wonder alot of dealerships u go into these days the staff r sat around on their backsides worrying about their jobs, if the gaffers actually gave a shit about the customers n showed the respect that their hard earned cash deserve am sure alot of dealers wud b reaping the benefits!!
too right.I am the type of person that if I like a service I will stick with you. the boss used to be a salesman and sold me my gixer so I thought he was still going to be good to deal with but damn I was wrong.have another guy who will be getting all my hard earned cash for the jobs I cant do as he is fully licensed and half the price, which reminds me I need to get him to do a dyno run for me.
On the flipside though I went in to motoplus kawasaki in my home town and got a new lid for about half the rrp, threw in a free visor and gave my daughter a pound cause he didn't have any sweets left. ?..its the little touches I like, and discount
thats a bit like me an module road and race. they do the old line, take it with you and square me up when you have the cash.
