:thdn: I called to get a quote on a couple tires,. they quoted me $190 for the back and $150 for the front. Was able to find the same tires from a reputable site for $120 and $85 respectively. Now I understand that they would be a little more expensive because of higher overhead and all that shit but come one, isn't that at least a little bit of a rip off?

 

IMO it's not even fair to give a shop a bad review because their prices are higher than some online retailer. An actual shop can't compete.

 

I bought my bike from them in 2002 and got an awesome deal on it. I bought exhaust for it from them also and their price was pretty close to online retailers that I found. Tire prices are very hard to beat from online places though.

 

sometimes i dont mind to pay a little extra expecially if a shop has somthing in stock and no need to wait days for it to come in the mail. i agree they dont deserve a because of a comparison to online shops.

Is that the new place on Little Creek?

 

Yeah.

 

Casey has a kick ass service and parts department. Im talking from experience just in the past couple of months. Got my oil change stuff, chain lube and cleaner, ordered an exhaust, and bought a tire/had it put on. A friend ordered a fering and it came in a couple of days also. Great guys there to deal with.

Sales is another story.......I went there alreay approved for my suzuki card and the wouldnt come off of retail price+tax, title, tags, processing fee, freight setup ect. I went to sunrise later that day and picked up my bike. for over $1000 less that casey told me.

 

I ordered my tires online... from an actual shop...


in texas.

 

That has nothing to do with this thread. It is a Vendor Review, not a thread asking for recommendations.
