Driving down 121 in Euless and saw temporary sign on the building where DFW Honda used to be, "Biker's Bay" Opening Soon.

Looked up their website.  It looks like they are a service/sales facility, opening this month;

I'm suppose to head down there for an interview this Tuesday. With any luck I'll finally have a job and a decent place to work. From what I understand it's kind of like a Jiffy Lube for motorcycles with after market parts, mainly a ride in ride out service center.

Good luck on your interview.

[Morgan Buchanan]

Yeah, interesting and cool concept!  Good luck, man.

How did the interview go LoneWolf? 

[Paddyo]

  
Well had Biker Bay replace my fork seals yesterday, the left one was leaking.
Their labour charge was 60% of Honda's and their parts 33% of what Honda wanted and they got the bike back to me in 4 hours.
Overall very happy with their service and no obvious problems so far.
I'll give them two

Since the manager has been avoiding my calls, I think it's safe to say that I didn't get the job. Good thing I have other irons in the fire though.

[Morgan Buchanan]

That actually discourages me...  I really don't like to hear about lack of professionalism.  If you used the F word every 4th word during the interview, they STILL owe you a "thanks but no" in SOME manner... a letter, a phone call.

[LoneWolf]

Some people are just intimidated by their own stupidity. I like the idea of what it does and wont discourage people from going their unless they have bad service.

[Morgan Buchanan]

I wasn't implying that I wouldn't try them out... it's more the kind of info that makes me pay SPECIAL attention to their professionalism in other venues, and forgive less quickly if they display customer service issues.  Basically, it starts them with a strike in my eyes.

I e-mailed them using the contact info on their web site but never got a response.
I called them up and asked them about their e-mail and was told that the guy who the e-mail goes to doesn't always come in ??

He gave me another one to try. So I sent them a message asking the prices for a 2005 Honda VTX1300 services.

I couldn't believe their reply - they told me to bring it in and ask for a certain employee because he has many years working with HDs    WTF

I only talked to the General Manager for a little bit of time and I could tell that he needed the help bad. I haven't stopped by since they opened or called since I didn't have much of a reason to. For the most part they seemed like decent people, I know the General Manager might be out with medical issues from time to time and cancer does have that effect. I haven't had any experience with them since they opened up and don't have a clue as to how their techs/mechs would be rated. Might have to take a brave soul to stop on in and find out if the place is any good. I would hate for it to be a place that sounds great only to have poor customer relations and only negative feed back.

[Morgan Buchanan]

Yeah, more and more nervous as I go along.
