Poor Service Or Difficult Times

To be honest I'd rather wash my own bike. I've always understood that washing cars/bikes during service is complimentary and at their discretion, so I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest

 

Wot he said!

 

Yes always wash my own bike. And think the dealer was being honest and fair.

No big deal really. Its complimentary so I don’t really think they need to tell you? Exceptional times mean things are not always possible.

 

Frankly it was a blessing in disguise. You just save yourself from swirl marks in the clearcoat from the rag they leave in the never changed wash bucket that their porter loves to use.

 

Wash the bike yourself you lazy sod and stop twisting

Not a chance I'd let them wash mine, they're hardly going to have the same attention to detail as I do and I bet they don't throw the drying towel away if they dropped it on the floor covered in grit.

 

Don't think my bikes have ever been washed after a service. No big deal

 

My vehicles only occasionally get washed after a service and, while it's a nice touch and theoretically "free", I'd rather they left it dirty and charged me less

 

I think they did right and there's no reason to get upset about not getting something that you don't pay for in the first place
Having said that my disappointment would be that the bike wouldn't get its annual clean

 

Not something I would have worried about as it's complimentary. My dealer always washes my bike when it's serviced but I wouldn't care if it didn't happen.

 

I wouldn't worry about it mate.

 

what do i think. i think your moaning about something and nothing if your that bothered just wash it your self

 

I think that they are being totally reasonable and fair tbh.
If you had have asked and they had said no, would you have been happy then or have walked away unhappy?
The are apologising with a fair reason imo.
I've just been to webbs (in peterborough) to get the shift assist switched on (£40 as i found it for 210 online and fitted it myself) and they were short staffed and couldn't wash bikes. No worries.

 

I think that they deserve a bit of a break, they are clearly trying to do their best with lower than usual staff levels and the wash is complimentary like you said. I don't really understand what you achieved by sending them what was probably a bit of a shitty email?

 

you say the dealer was being honest and fair yet you agree with the op

I agree with everything and everyone usually then I don't have to explain my reasons.

You just beat me to that answer. You know me to well. Going to have to change my ways. Funny Tracy always tells me can't you ever disagree with your mates.

Joe.

 

And I didn't read the dipstick bit but you are probably right again. That used to be my password at work about two years ago. And you really do know me to well. Just glad you are my hero.

Joe.
