MR_W Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Anyone used these guys? They show up as the nearest Suzuki dealer to me and I am in need of a service on the bike. Would like to know how good they are first though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grommet Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Bought 2 bikes from fowlers, in my opinion they sold volume sales and stung you on services- hence they had a couple of services out of me.Ask for a service quotation and make sure they ask for customer confirmation of any additional works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RantMachine Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 They're pretty darn good for drooling over shiny new toys, great for trying on gear, and the cafe isn't too shabby... but the coffee is the only thing I've ever actually bought there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticketyboo Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Gear is pricey. Staff are very helpful but stretched thin. I had a handful of services done and never had a problem with the outcome but anecdotal results vary. My understanding is that, like Halfords, they staff a lot of young trainee mechanics to keep the wage bill down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 They were an established dealer when I started on bikes......so they're not one of these "here today gone tomorrow" outfits.In fact, I've still got a Fowlers T shirt from the 90's........it's held up well!

Lumor_uk Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 reviews aren't great for them but I ordered some parts from their department and it was delivered on time and so so priced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
