| - Through the years I've bought a couple of dirt bikes, a street bike, and a quad from Walt Healy. You could say I was a longtime customer, dating back to when Walt himself could be found at the dealership.
However, I haven't been in to WH for a few years now. Essentially, I just stopped going.
In the end, it wasn't the products or sales that made me rethink returning...
It was a couple of bad installations by their service department that made me go, WTF?!?!
Yeah, stuff that just stopped working after the warranty was up. So I took them in to the closer, more convenient Yamaha dealership (Seitzco, which is sadly now gone) ... and discovered that a light bar that stopped working was due to someone forgetting a gasket around a headlight, so water shorted everything out.
Not to mention, all the wiring was not wrapped/shielded, and just wore through from vibration.
The second was a quad thumb warmer that burned up, again due to sloppy and incorrect installation.
I know WH has good people on staff, and can do a good dyno tune. But if the rookies or unqualified are allowed to completely mess up things I've paid good money for... I might as well not take the chance anymore
Losing headlights and turn signals while riding is kinda a big deal.
That being said, I would still consider purchases here (for good prices), and routine scheduled maintenance done by qualified techs.
I'd stay away from the aftermarket-type work.
