I don't know what you read in that post that said I felt the dealer owed me something. All I said was they COULD offer you the first service for free as customer appreciation.

 

Actually, you said Maybe you feel because you spent a lot of money, you are entitled to something. I don`t see it that way, and I said as much.

We don`t agree.

Have a nice day.

 

I guess it's important that you be right. Ok, you're right. They owe me something. For Christ sake get a life.
​​​​​​​You have a nice day.

 

I gave my opinion on your post, we don`t agree.

It`s not the end of the world, no reason to have a tantrum.

 

I haven't dealt with a dealer in a number of years on a new bike, but many dealers used to give the first service for free. Not for me.
Not that it was actually free, it was likely worked into the selling price without it being declared .
Remember whatever they tell you you are receiving for free isn't really free, unless you talk them into something after the contract is signed !

 

I was a new car dealer and we always made the first service free. Of course we built the cost into the original purchase but we wanted our customers to experience our service and feel comfortable coming back over the lifetime of their vehicle. They all came carrying the free service coupon and we made sure they got the Royal treatment. Our service department was always busy and we attracted some of the best technicians in our area. Nickel and dime a customer and it won’t be long and they will call you a “stealership”.

 

Basically that was my point.

 

The last three bikes first service was free but u paid for parts it was ok with me. That way they looked everything over ( hopefully) and away I went. After that I did me own.

 

my dealer tried to get me to buy that service plan. Said 5000 mile service was a thousand bucks. Liar! I will continue to service my own if I donot sell it. We used to call rice rockets jap junk. Now we by American assembled china junk. Oh I mean Harley. Even the clothes and gear are Chinese.
