Best garage?

#1 Unread post by Scouting »

Ladies,

Fed up with poor service? At the moment, I’m looking for the best independent motorcycle repair centres, and I'm particularly interested to find out if you think that women get treated fairly.

I'm running a campaign called the Swift Awards: It’s a fantastic program and we’re really passionate about it, as it’s an opportunity for smaller businesses who do a great job but go under the radar to get some recognition for their hard work. As one rider said, people are a lot quicker to shout about bad service than they are to tell people when a good mechanic’s done a brilliant job.

So if you can think of a repair or service centre that's done a particularly good job then please let us know... They'll get some well deserved recognition and riders will know where to go if they need their bike looked at and don't want to get messed around :D

Are there any garages that treat women particularly well? Maybe one that's owned by a woman, or that's lucky enough to have women working there?

I'd really appreciate any feedback you could give me...

Luke

Asselstine Country in Blackstock, Ontario (North of Oshawa).

A longtime family business, lots of respect for women customers, competitive prices on their bikes, and reliable, honest service. They have several female employees, and the guys are great to deal with too.

Sorry they're not in the UK. :)
