originally posted hereDon't go here if you're after an honest workshop.
Took my CBR there, which had previously passed with no problems at another bike shop that I trust, only that one ran out, the other shop was booked out, so i thought i'd take a chance on these guys.
Mistake.
Fuckers ring and tell me that my discs are undersize. They're not. I checked them with a good gauge and they were .15mm over. I call their bluff, and then the guy stutters and says "i meant they were warped". No you didn't. Fucken say that if that's what you meant. I ask how pray tell he noticed they were warped when I had not noticed the same thing riding it and he says "they look a bit warped".
"They look warped?" I ask. "What kind of shit is that? How does one assess this?"
I go down there, as I just want my bike back and nothing to do with these idiots anymore. I get the usual roadworthy stuff - rear wheel bearings, blahblah... all consumables that they offered to sell me. What the fuck! To get a roadworthy, i've got to renew all this stuff I don't need? Extortion. "We can replace those for you". I'm sure you'd love to. Just to make sure, when I got home, I checked the bearings for play. Nothing.
Must be hard to make an honest $ in the bike game...
I paid them their $70 for the inspection, but it's the last they'll see from me. I hope that anyone considering doing business with them just finds a shop elsewhere. I will from now on.
Fuck you Brighton Kawasaki.
gotta say im pretty shocked, anybody had any similar experiences?
i know the bloke having the whinge here and can say hes hardly the customer from hell. top bloke infact, cleaned my carbs and did my forks on my old 250 cause he had nothing better to do on his holidays, back when i was a newb
