I can't attest to the service department since I have not been there yet, but the one star reviews are a huge understatement to how wonderful this dealer is. It doesn't hurt to go up and ask questions instead of waiting for someone to find you and read your mind. Then again, I'm someone who prefers to walk into a business and let me search around and ask questions on my own if I need to instead of being tackled by a sales person.
My experience with this dealership started when my husband and I moved to the area and found out we needed to re-take a motorcycle riding certification course in order to be able to ride our motorcycles on military bases. We already have our motorcycle license/endorsements, and every single returning rider or basic riding 2 course was booked in the area, so we decided to just re-take the basic riding course again. I was emailing back and forth with their riding academy rep and found out we did not qualify for the special $99 military riding course rate, but she was able to still offer us a generous 50% military discount from their actual regular course rate. And just to note, their course rate not only includes instruction and coaching in the classroom and field, but it includes beverages, snacks, and lunch on ALL days (dinner if it is a night class), and plenty of small gifts such as a gift card, books, stickers, key chain, etc.
I also had the pleasure of meeting the female owner of the dealership when I came in to sign up for the riding course, and it shows that she takes so much pride and dedication in her employees and dealership. I had walked into a different Harley Davidson dealership just a few weeks prior, and it was NOTHING compared to how I was treated here. Every single person I came into contact with here was courteous, friendly, and very professional. They definitely set the bar high for the Harley Davidson image. Like a previous reviewer said, it definitely is a family-owner business and it shows in every single employee.
Terrie and Dominic were our instructors for the riding course. We've taken an MSF course in California before and the instructors are like drill sergeants barking orders at you down the field and waiving their hands at you to go away or get back in line when you screw up. Terrie and Dominic's approach allowed even the most inexperienced and frustrated new riders to walk away with confidence in their abilities and fundamental skills to remember in order to succeed out on the road. They do not yell, they don't have attitudes, and when you screw up, they calmly walk you through it, coach you on what you did wrong and what you can do to improve it, and give you a pat on the back, which (believe it or not) will help your confidence when you go back and try again knowing that it's OKAY that you messed up, hence the purpose and importance of practicing with them on the field. Even as experienced riders, my husband and I walked away learning new skills and techniques to improve our riding skills, and our experience and interaction with everyone here was such a great pleasure. I highly recommend the riding course academy at this dealership.
