Yep, and sometimes I have them do a demonstration so I can judge their technique. Of course I always check with their references as well.

 

Uhh...did someone assume that instructions were taken down in writing and then diligently passed on to the wash guy so he would have one less bike to wash?

I think they wash to remove all the crap they got on the bike while it was in service. No washing probably leads to more blown head gaskets (in human heads) than if they wash it.

 

I thought your warranty would be VOID if ya didn't do that.

 

The water squeezes out through the threads, I called the service manager and he was very apologetic and offered a free t-shirt I told him I didn't want fee **** I just want what I asked for and he of course agreed.

The last time they washed it they left scratches in my new ultra flip from LRS, I told the service manager and he offered to buy me a new windsheild but being the nice guy I am I said its not that bad I just dont want them to wash it anymore so that is why I am so pissed now.

The worst part about them washing the bike is it makes a 5 minute job last an hour because they have to wash the bikes, the default should be not to wash unless requested by the customer.

 

No, I said do not wash, and, kids throw fits I chew *** and then take my money elsewhere.

 

Ah yes, summer is winding down and cooler weather is on the way, when guys start
REALLY complainin' about every little thing.

This must be the pre-season exhibitions already...

There's the wind up, and HERE comes the bitch...

 

As a customer you should get what you ask for. As for me: I never turn down a free bike wash from someone else. Lord knows I'm not ever likely to do it myself.

 

Always get my bike washed - it comes back sparkling clean; shined up; ready to ride!
It's a treat!
