Transit Motorcycles York - Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

[lihp]

Garage 2, since were using a breaker bar and 4 people, don't have an air impact gun to undo it?

Have damaged the shaft trying to remove it with the incorrect tools, and are now blaming garage 1 for it, so they don't have to cover the repair cost.

Simple

Tbh from reading this thread OP's original garage doesn't deserve a high google ranking with a page about how bad they are. A year later I would've done the same - not really worthy of "Avoid avoid avoid at all costs".

Map, something similar happened to me last week. The 500 was boiling over when riding the bike hard, so I took it to a place (I was 150 miles from home) and he basically left it idle for 20 minutes to find no problem. Despite the fact that I had told him it needs riding hard....I didn't plan on idling the bike back home. On the way back I noticed it was idling high, I pulled into a service station...shorted the rad fan turn down the idle and mtfu. Either do it yourself, or check the work after its done.
Bikes in my garage, and I'll sort it out myself.

i have to say the guys at transit are good,

i have dealt with them for around 14 years after buying my first ever machine from them.

i have to agree with some critical points here

you leave it a year with no maintainance

you said people swing on a breaker bar

personally i think if you took better care of your machine you wouldnt need to slate people for your own mistakes

I realise this is a bit of a bounce for this thread but just spotted it and as a long time user of Transit I can only give them the highest praise.

I've bought several bikes from them over the years and tend to get all my bits and pieces off them. I tend nowadays to do most of my own spannering but wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

As for this case, if you'd brought the bike back to them I'm sure they would have sorted it but just ringing up out of the blue and stating a nut was done too tight and that you want compensating as your new mechanic may have shagged something up getting it off is a bit rich.

Your mechanic should have been either able to get it off with a bit of heat without doing any damage or should have told you to take it back to the dealer in question. Personally I'd be more worried about using a mechanic who couldn't get off a seized axle nut without damaging the shaft it was on.

I was looking for Transits number & came across this old thread.

I have used Transit for many, many years.
I have NEVER had anything but good service from them.
They keep the same staff whom are really competent.

I have no experience of shoddy work with them- I am a motorcycle instructor

I would have no hesitation in recommending them in the future.

Regards
Rod

Since we've dug it up I'll add my ten penneth;

I work literally across the road from Transit York and have known/used them for years. No complaints, I don't expect them to know every little thing about every bike ever made just like any mechanic. I use them for tyres a lot, only ever had one beef with Andy after he tried to bluff his way out of fitting a T30 when I asked for a T30 EVO. We kissed and made up and LoLs were had all round, meh.

Good MOT chap to have too, doesn't have a beef with my Remus GP cans or HID retrofits (yes, I'm one of those cunts)

Plus, OP never provided pictures of his daughter, so is clearly not to be trusted.

I haven't got Transit in my phone either even though my bikes have gone into them for years.
