Dragon Motorcycles County Durham

Ha,way man....you have to say why????

 

As Dilligaf says if your going to advise members away from a specific dealer or repair shop its common practise to say exactly WHY and for WHAT REASON.

 

Why ? Surely you understand that the members on here will want to know why.

 

Give as much details of the problem/s as you can and lets see if some of the clever people( myself not included) on here can get you going.

 

Oh dear Gab.
I don't want to sound like a clever twat, and hindsight being a marvellous thing and all that but:
The first thing you should have done after breaking down 100 yards away after the service was take it straight back to them. Why didn't you ?
The second mistake by the sound of it was not getting a quote and then being hit with the £950 shock.
Me and others have said so many times on the forum about learning to work on our own bikes.
All the above work could have been carried out by a reasonably competent DIY biker.
You don't say which service, so that would be a factor but not impossible.
Learn to do your own maintenance mate, makes you understand the workings of your bike and if you do ever break down, you stand a much better chance of fixing it or certainly not getting ripped off.

 

I can understand you being pissed off because it has 'happened to you' but that is a poor basis for objective judgement.
I would be interested to know the parts/labour breakdown (Ducatis are a privilege to own, apparently) and what the actual fault is. The price you paid for the work needs stripping out of the total bill and then that the work is the cause of the problem.
If they have cannily earthed everything out intermittently while fitting new indicators you have a legitimate beef but if it is Italian electrics taking a coincidental siesta then they are maybe being unfairly caned.

 

I doubt anyone thinks you effed up. You just need to have a good aim when you throw rocks! You wouldn't want a rebound.....

 

Bloody hell mate I would be looking to the small claims court or something
That's not good at all
Are you gonna give them a chance to sort it out or do you not trust them at all
Either way it's not a nice situation to be in

 

This post started with you telling forum members to boycott Dragon Motorcycles without any reason why.
Your reply was very honest, and in turn I replied with a few pointers which may help you or any other forum member in the future.
We've all been there mate and been ripped off, this forum shares information to allow people to make a more informed judgement.
