There are many reasons I don't bring my bike to dealer. One is you spend more time driving back and forth, getting someone to drive you, than it is worth.
Hard to develop trust unless you give them a shot. So far, so good.
I definitely looked the bike over before I took it. No scratches, no oil on the outside, etc. They actually look like they did a respectable job cleaning it up. I only had to touch up a few spots.

There are good dealerships out there... sadly there are too many around that are not....
Here's hoping you found a good one...!
I know of three dealerships I would trust with just about anything.... unfortunately the closest one is 500 miles away from where I live..... So I've become my own mechanic...
Red needs to give you a kick in the butt, to stop your crying. You left your bike at dealership, and this thread.

Just called to the dealer to see if the bike is done yet. I had expected them to call me this morning, but nothing. They tell me it has not been started on yet even though I brought it to them yesterday and made the appointment with them last week. The weather is supposed to get nasty this evening/tonight so they better get it done soon or I won't be able to take it home.
