There were a couple guys there that I didn’t care for, but overall I always had good experiences with them. Just sucks that it’s one less place for bike guys to get shit done. :tdown: ---

I couldn’t stand it there. They talked down to you like they were so much better than you. I’ve always gone to Hebelers when I had a bike. Bill and Joe are great guys and they take care of ya. ---

Steves Custom Cycle and Hebelers are the only dealerships I’d recommend. ---

Yeah, they had a horrible reputation from service to the bikes themselves. One time I was in for a tire and couldn’t remember what size tire I needed. Guy behind the counter asked “Do you even have a bike?”. I do have one but if I didnt, does that mean I might not be buying one as a gift for someone else? I’ve had less than satisfactory service every time except for once. And I told NYSpeed about it.

Definitely good riddance to them. The service department sucked after their main service manager left. The new wiener they got in to replace him knew jack shit about 4wheelers and had to keep walking back to the techs to get answers for all my questions. Not to mention I got a quote for some work, went back and all of a sudden the quote was up another $100. I guess they lost alot of business when the previous service manager left and opened up his own shop like almost across the way or something. So you guys can still look into him. The parts guy at freewheeling was a cool dude. Stopped in there last week, they were selling everything left for 40% off so picked up some stuff. Auctions aren’t worth it. Went to the Ray Laks auction and shit was selling for like ebay pricing. ---
