Dealership Vacuum

Initially Posted by rinkydink

Very pissed off with the shortage of dealerships within the normal Arkansas space. I understand I’m in a rural state however my most popular seller is true at 300 miles distant. I do a good quantity of upkeep myself however recollects and guarantee work is usually a actual ache. I’m positioned a mere 4 miles from I-40, one of many busiest interstates within the nation. I used to be conscious of this once I purchased my newest RT (my fourth) and I’ll nonetheless all the time personal a boxer. It might be very nice if the corporate would step up in direction of getting extra sellers or possibly add bike gross sales/service to present BMW automotive dealerships in some areas. Not an ideal resolution however one thing must occur. I understand the automotive & bike firms are fully separate entities however extra sellers could be an excellent factor. I might get a good quantity of my pals on BMWs however they received’t purchase with out nearer seller assist.

Assist your native seller when you’ll be able to or else miss them without end once they’re gone. DAMHIK

I am not going to assist my native bmw sellers. They rent newly graduated bike mechanics who’re going to then “study” on my motor? No approach in hell with 3 sellers lower than 50 miles from the home. Nevertheless, I do have a grasp mechanic work on mine via a non bmw seller. Why? As a result of that mechanic was introduced in particularly to extend their enterprise. Since they introduced him on, he is gotten 4 contracts with depts that run RT’s.

I give my motor to this man at that dealership with the categorical information ONLY he works on my motor. It has been like this since 2018. I get the bike again with all work carried out by a grasp mechanic, not some new man simply out of college eager to study on my motor. If the bmw sellers had a superb rep right here [ which they do not ] for performing the work appropriately, not forgetting to tighten this or that or doing one thing incorrectly I would belief them.

I, nor most out right here on this space will purchase from these sellers however few will depart their motors with them after guarantee. Oh, btw, my mechanic honors guarantee work similar to a bmw seller does, so there isn’t any draw back to utilizing the grasp mechanic. He is simply 18 miles from the home.

I might use Ironhorse in Tucson, however they’re 90 miles away.
