Isn't that funny. One of the service writers was giving me grief that the guy that quoted me the price to swap out my outter primary didn't quote enough. Brought it in for the 10K service ('14 Ultra Limited) and so we talked about it and I said "charge me what it costs, it's fine". Funny how now that the bike is there they call me first thing to tell me they found a nail in my tire . . . but "your insurance will cover it less a $50 deductible". Funny, that's the price difference we were discussing earlier.


I know it's a common tactic to use when your insurance is about to run out to get new tires, but now I'm wondering if it's not also a tactic to grab a few extra bucks. Yes, I know tires get nails, and I know they can not leak, but it just seems weird by bike sat for about a month, and in the 6 mile ride to the dealer I got a nail. After 3 new bikes from another dealer/same salesman I bought this one from a new dealer after the old guy insulted me on price and trade-in. Do I have to worry about these guys now? Jeezus . . . .


It's aggravating . . . and who knows, maybe there WAS a nail in the tire.

 

Sooooo,,, you are accusing your dealer of insurance fraud and consumer fraud?

 

Can't you have them show you the tire area where the nail was? I'd think, if they found a nail, it would be obvious...??

 

Some people will complain about anything. Sheesh

 

If any of the service writers at the dealer where I've had my bikes serviced for the last 23 years called and told me that they found a nail in one of my tires, I would thank them for finding it. I cannot imagine being scammed by the dealer I use, Dudley Perkins Harley Davidson of South San Francisco.

 

don't relay on the stealership ....learn to work on your own **** and only go there for parts you are unable to get anywhere else !!!

 

Not everyone is a mechanic, nor do they want to be. Nothing wrong with that.

 

Plug the tire and save money.

 

 

If you don't trust them to tell you the truth, why would you trust them to work on your bike?
