Dealer question

My local dealer was like a revolving door. Everytime you came in there was some new from sales, parts or service. Everytime you get to know some of them they were gone. The dealer got bought out so we had new management and you new things would change then, but it still doing the samething. Just wondering if the other dealerships were the same way.

The closest dealer had a revolving door. The one 35 miles away has had the same staff for years. The closest dealer has a poor reputation and has traditionally done shabby work. The 35 mile away dealership is one of the best in the country. Treating employees right is the first step to having a good business. IMHO

I see a lot of the same people at the Dealership. My salesman that I bought my bike from has been there since 1994.

I go to the dealer that is number three on distance from my house because I see the same faces there year after year. This includes all departments. And they have always treated me fairly.
