I got a snooty attiitude from the sales group there so even though they are closer (I live in Bedford) I take the bike to Stadium.

I'd stay away if it was me. I've had some bad experiences there.

bt don't have as warm a fuzzy as the folks using stadium seem to have. close for easy stuff. had them do the first valve clearance check but if you are asking the hard questions (cam chain tensioner, tick, etc.) they get sceptical quickly instead of seeming to be open minded and willing to at least check the basics (oil at the headers, etc.).

as for "snooty" these are the people i went to when trying to get a counter to D&H's price. i was up front and offered them an additional $200 over D&H (my travel costs). salesman pushed his book back and said, "knock yourself out. we'll sell everyone we get at MSRP."

so i did (went to D&H).

later was at the parts counter (getting some replacement plastic rivets) and the salesman walked up, placed himself between me and the parts guy, and started gushing about my bike being "one of theirs". with the parts guy laughing behind his back, i reminded him how he lost the sale and that D&H had sold dozens that year instead of the original allotment of 4. "While you were chasing your $6000 ($1500 * 4 bikes) D&H made $35,000.00 with their smaller mark up."

him: why didn't you tell us?

me: what did you ever do to help me?

parts guy: laughing

the service dept, always bumped me to the top as "one of theirs" but their desire to go to bat for owners appears to end when the tasks go beyond routine maintenance (lip service).

they didn't want to do the tb synch during one service even after i insisted (it was on the check list but they said the bikes never needed it). that's when i got the mercury sticks and started doing my own service (and YES they did need it).

you don't need to do tb syncs, dude....ever.......

It's a real pisser you can't use the dealer closest to you, I live a stones throw from NTY and bought the bike there but the service department just rubs me the wrong way.....constantly. Probably will never go back to see if things have changed either.

It is a shame as they are closer to me too. They (and the BMW shop next door) are owned by a giant powersports conglomerate that just doesn't give a flying you-know-what about customers.

I'll check out stadium, it's in Irving on 183 as I recall. Thanks for the heads up.

A good dealer is worth it.

According to my source, the service manager at Stadium Yamaha (I’m told his name is Jason), is taking a job teaching in Duncanville. It could be a coincidence that both the owner and the service manager share the same name. I don’t know him personally so I could be wrong.

 

[fjrchik]

you are correct, the owner is a Jason and the service manager is a Jason too.

 

[TexasDoc]

I know Jason Hartman, the owner, very well. Good guy.

Never had a problem with Stadium. I'd recommend them highly.

Was treated like pond-scum at Yamaha of Texas (south of NE Mall).

Tell Jason Dr. Tom sent ya in.

That's a shame. Jason (service) is a good guy. I remain optimistic however since Jason (owner) is also a good guy. I'm sure they'll continue to offer outstanding service.
