Need a new service shop around Akron, OH

word. so does anybody know where i can find some info on where i can take my bike to get it worked on? I'm reluctant to take it back to my dealer b/c i didnt like thier service and didnt think they really took very much time on it. any good way to compare service at shops?

Man that really is a local thing. I don't know anything down there around Akron. Drewpy might be able to tell you somin... I'm going to move these posts to the midwest section for better help.

thanks man, i was really just hopin to hear about a site or something with reviews. I thought about askin drewp but he's from cinci and is goin to school up in tiffin. Both are at least 3 hours from me. is there anything specific i should be asking the shops when i talk to them? i've called a couple in my area but all i asked them was if they could service the bike and get the parts i needed.

Check you local phone book or better yet, ask some of the bikers in your area.

Yeah maybe a bike night...but of coarse you'll have to wait till spring time... :damn:

i think you guys are starting to see why this is a problem :wink:

Maybe just drive around and check them out in the cage. Get a feel for them and their service shop. You will find out that a stand alone service shop will treat you better. Dealerships don't have to because they usually have you LOCKED in.

i dont know off hand how far akron is from dayton, Honda/Yamaha/suzuki of Troy does good work, they get the nod from me, i take my bike from northern oh to dayton just to get anything big done-and in findley OH the dealership is pretty good, never had a lot of work done there but was impressed with the service guys when they put the sliders on my bike for free :idk:

Maximum performance and handling or MPH is very good in Akron.

I dunno about service, but I got a great deal on my bike there... It helps that one of the managers is a friend of the family. It's at least worth checking out...
