Buckeye4Life Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I took my GS500F into a shop today (after trying to get my carbs rejetted for 2 weeks now) with the understanding that it would be done "by the end of the day." I can't rip on the quality of work because i haven't seen it yet. Every time I've called the shop, their employees/owner seem downright rude and unpleasant. Has anyone had experience with them?

undr_psi Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I had a buddy work for him a few years back and heard nothing but bad things. Super sketchy guy from what I've heard. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 When I stored my ninja 500 with them one writer I got it back and they said the steering was a little sluggish an I needed to replace the forks and do some work on the bearings. I rode it the .25 miles home anyways and checked the tire pressure. Needless to say I won't ever go to them for anything. Go to shop dog cycles to get your work done. Ryan has some of the best customer service around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye4Life Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Well, the bike is already there. We'll see if he can do the work that I told him to do. I'll let you guys know how he does with the quality of his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gen3flygirl Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 ^this. They gave you a verbal agreement. If they haven't even touched it yet I would say that they have broken said agreement and you should find another place to take your bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye4Life Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I just called. they did start it, but the jet kit i gave him had two sets of pilot jets, and he's getting it back together now. so we'll see how it goes.

Buckeye4Life Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 He's actually started to be nicer and more concerned now that I've acted more serious about the bike. Maybe he just takes a little time to warm up to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkason Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 He's actually started to be nicer and more concerned now that I've acted more serious about the bike. Maybe he just takes a little time to warm up to youIMO he should be warm that you set foot in his shop to do business with him. I would not go back even if the work is quality. Honoring a time frame is part of the service. There are glowing reviews about Hoblick on here and if I needed a wrench I would give him a call first. Either way I hope your back on 2 wheels soon with a quality repair. It's guys like this who drove me to pick up my tools and DIY.
