dealerships:which to avoid, which to visit

we've almost all been screwed over by lazy mechanics, terrible customer service reps, uneducated parts departments, etc. i think its within our power, and our responsibility to fellow riders, to warn people so they do not waste time and money at these places that are not willing to become a better shop. also, i think we should take note of which shops and dealerships ARE willing to take that extra step, to get the right part, finish the job completely and not try to rip you off at the same time. lets let this go from west to east coast, even up to Canada cuz i know we have a lot of riding neighbors to the north!

post in the thread and ill reassemble them into a list into the original thread here in some sort of order.

MI-Steven's Cycle has idiots at their counter but their service/mechanics will help you out with anything in store or over the phone and actually have a great understanding of our bikes!

I've heard bad things about Lakeside Powersports though so watch out with them
