Barney's, I believe you have a man here that has been wronged. Barney's needs to make good on this little grease my pocket venture and save some grace for your dealership, for there are quite a few members from the tampa bay area that frequent this site and in a pastense, both of your "DEALERSHIPS". I for one have purchased 4 atv's in the past 5 years from Barney's of Brandon, but will look elswhere if this "GREASE MY POCKET" venture isn't made right. Have a good day and hope this takes a turn for the better for the both of you.

Two weeks and no reply to the email this just shows how bad barneys service department is and how it maybe due to the fact that the service manager does not follow thru on his job.like I said before BARNEYS SAINT PETE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Evil

I wonder if the owner of barneys has seen this thread? If he actually knows whats going on at his dealership or if he even cares?

over a month still no reply from jack (the service manager that does all he possibly can to satisfy customers) I guess all his investigation turned up would reflect negativly on barneys .This just proves how bad barneys sucks.Based on my experiance and what I've read of others experiances ,I would suggest going no where near barneys to purchase a bike or part nor would I even suggest them to check the air in your tires.

I have the whole thread and I think the service manager is a little crazy for saying a customer is "obligated" to send him an email. What scares me is if they didn't know who you were then they must have had more cases just like this. I will never thinka bout going into the dealer again. This comes from someone who would like to buy 2 new quads in the near future.

I agree , a lot of "Service based Companies" are putting more of a load on the Consumer and less on themselves. I am meticulous with my bikes for one reason....SO I do not have to get warranty work done...I do not want to deal with these people...They have the mindset that they are doing US a favor....

Thank you , I am glad this thread may have helped you avoid a dealer that does not care for their customers.I just hope all members have read this so no one gets treated like I was .Some buisnesses dont relize that service after the sale is just as important as the sale itself.

if you are looking to buy a Yamaha, i'd check out Suncoast Motorcycle and Marine.  They gave us a GREAT price on a YFZ and stood behind that price when my cousin wanted to get one too.  Great service too, kept the entire shop open an extra half hour so we could get there to pick up and pay for the bikes.  Thumbs Up to them

Never trust a Rubble, ya shoulda gone to a Flintstone! I believe alot of the old time dealers could give a sh-t about god service cause they think they got ya over a barrel. Alot of new dealeships opening up all over so these guys better wake up and see who's behind them!

Just FYI - I got a great price at Westcoast in Clwtr, however they forget who you are as soon as the sale is over! Not a good thing when a salesman tells you to bring your bike back free of charge to do a few minor things that should have been done before the bike was sold...then they want to charge you cause the salesman has no idea who you are 3 days later when ya get there. He only called me about 100 times in 3 weeks but once I bought the bike he had no clue who I was.

VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!! They do not communicate well with each other there. One person says one thing ya get there and no one has a clue what you are talking about...why cause they were all talking out of their a$$es

My encounter with them anyway

i have done all my work an purchasing at Cycle Springs in palm harbor they are hands down Bow  one of the best and knowledgable places i have ever been. yes powersports will forget who you are had a very similar experience there. or for riding gear that you cant find anywhere alse i go to Cycle Gear in St. Pete. those two place stand behind everything to include price matching.  Clapper

You know the funniest thing about this whole situation is that when we would go in there it seamed they knew we were all friends. And well there whole customer tracking software to see just how much you spend, would show them that we do just that, spend money, Lots of it. What would you say 450rcrazy maybe something like 20k+ in the last 2 years between all of us. Heck I spent close to $200 up there before the trip to croom when your bike broke.  that doesnt include the $100's of dollars I've spent up there ordering parts from them that should be in stock but wernt. There is one this i can say about Barneys, If you wana buy a bike they will treat you the best. They might hose you on the price and tell you some fibs but they will do it with the prettiest smile you have ever seen. Now when it come to service lets face it, prices are prices and doing it your self will always be cheaper but you should be able to expect them to stand behind there work and there product and FIX the problem not blame it on poor maintainance. I personally know 450rCrazy and i can tell you that he took good car of that bike to the point that you could call it an obsession(that wash job where the plastics were taken off to be cleaned  Grin). We all take good care of our bikes and know how to fix them, some more than other as not all of us are MMI grads but to say its bad maintainance is a joke. Just my 2 cents.

yeah one of my buddies was like i dont even deal with those clowns all they do is rip you off when you can go right down the street in either direction and get a better price not only on bike but equiptment. when i went it ther i had visited three other dealers and when i heard their price (mind you i was paying cash) i about sh*t my self. when i told them the other quotes i got they were like i  cant meet them those are just rediculous. id be cutting my arm off for this sale. so i left. and im soon to buy a wolverine 450 and cycle springs will get my business then too.
