I purchased a Shoei helmet at Spokane Powersports, from Chris. I proceeded to go on a ride for a few days and was absolutely miserable because after wearing the helmet for about 30 to 40 minutes, I was in excruciating pain. The helmet was pushing on nerves on the right side of my head. The most miserable ride I've ever been on because of that and had lasting effects from wearing this helmet. When I returned home, I got it cleaned up, in pristine condition, brought it back and explained what happened. Chris had zero empathy for what I had been through on that trip because of this helmet. Chris said he replaced the padding. Not sure if he really did or not because it feels exactly the same and is a terrible pressure on the right side of my head after 30 minutes. It's unbearable. Chris said there's absolutely nothing they can or will do and he provided me with a phone number for Shoei, that was not even a working number. I contacted my Visa card company to see if they could help, they tried. Chris and the owner proceeded to tell my credit card company lies about the condition of my helmet and lies about what actually happened and previous conversations. My credit card company was told that it was in poor condition and was covered in bugs. This helmet looked brand new when I brought it back to him. I even put the stickers back on it. I contacted the manager, Micheal, who is no help I have asked to speak with the owner and every time I call she seems to be "out of town" and they didn't know when she would ever be back. But then was told by the gal that answered the phone that she was back for only one day but then she left again and they don't know when she'll be back.
So, I am out almost $900 for something I can never use. They do not stand behind their products, they do not treat their customers well and they are not in your corner. I'm not sure how a place this even stays in business. I contacted the helmet manufacturer a few weeks ago. They contacted me and said they were going to send me a different size padding and I never received that and they will not get back to me.
I have purchased other things from Spokane Powersports in the past, including my very first street bike. I regret giving them any business, ever!
