Chester Motorrad

[craigholt]

I have to support the amazing independents doing a better, more thorough job than most main dealers ... BUT ... most billies ( customers ) have been programmed to only accept main dealer stamps, regardless of age of vehicle .. it all a load of bollocks but that the f..ked up world we live in !

I run my own garage, can and do carry out services and warranty work always using original parts, but I'm not blinkered enough to believe it beats a fully stamped book from the dealer. For a 15 year old car, folk still moan if there's one indie stamp in the middle from six years ago

I also buy cars and with that hat on, prefer the OEM stamps. That said, I will still service any car, even if it was recently done, as it is me carrying the warranty and not the 12 year old 'technician' at most dealer workshops.

 

[Ex-Call Centre Chimp]

Yet as a customer I've always found car dealers quote full dealer service history as a reason to charge a premium whilst simultaneously telling me that the full dealer service history on my trade in means nothing.
Funny old world eh?

 

[Quattroformaggio]

All a dealer stamped service book means is that it's a service book full of service stamps.

As the person that started this thread I feel inclined to say that I bought the said bike, Chester Motorrad were great and the bike has been too - coming up to 60K miles.
I hope everything goes well for them.

news is they are setting up new concept garage on the Saltney straight next year

 

[tripleblack]

popped into Chester the other day there were 3 new KTM bikes in the show room

 

[Davel]

Called in today and saw them

Think they fully switch to KTM in the summer but if BNW are going to Two Mills doubt they'll up and running by then.

I'll stick with team at Cheshire Oakes as I find them great to deal with

 

[Fluffmeister]

70% off all clothing parts and accessories tomorrow (16th April) at Chester folks. Clearing the decks ready for the switch.

One good thing is the resurrection of Chester Superbikes so good late used bikes of all marques for sale in the dealership.

Dont think think the 70% is due to clearing the decks as Williams Mottorad are also doing a 70% off tomorrow. I think its more principal led. Having said that about three years ago we bought a £400 jkt for £90 in the 75% off sale so can’t complain

 

[tripleblack]

poped in today to get a few bargains spoke to one of the guys looks like july BMW moving to a garage by chester city football ground and in a few years moving to 2 mills welsh road

I'll ask Gary if you can have his

 

[Bobbin-Man]

I'll ask Gary if you can have his

Ouch!

 

[Fluffmeister]

Gary’s always had a bit of a “Bay city rollers” look about him coming to think about it, and you rarely see him from the waist down (thank heavens for small mercies). This just confirms the suspicions

I was looking at a Moto Guzzi V85TT tourer they had listed for £9,990 on Ebay....a good price. Was discussing with my better half and went back to look at the advert..17 other watchers ..... then looked again, guess what, price has jumped up another £500 ( because of the watchers? ). Bye bye Motorrad .
Be nice to see what KTM have to offer.
