I have been riding quads for years and can do most basic maintenance my self ...HOWEVER, If it is something I cant handle , I am faced with the very common delima (In Las Vegas/Henderson area) I did'nt think there was single competent mechanic in the valley. Most are over priced and UNDER SKILLED. The dealers shove it up your a$$ at any instant they are given the oppertunity and change their personel as often as I change my shorts. (hard to develope a good business relationship) with someone intrusted with one of your biggest and valued investments. One dealership in particular on So. Bldr. Hwy would'nt even recognise a loyal customer...Even if they spent $90,000 + on toys.maint. plans and misc. parts in their store in as short a time as 4 years (10 toys to be exact) If you hit them in the face with something.. I hope Im not sounding too bitter..Any way to the point..I just want to share something, I was very fortunate enough last month to be turned on to a metric bike guru who is honest, trustworthy,and more than competent. A super nice guy that will take the time to talk to you about your concerns, give you an honest opinion, Quality work and not shove the bill up your A$$ .... This is by no means a paid for or solicited advertisement. I have finally discovered diamond in a sea of shi**y mechanics and felt I had to share my good fortune Im not sure If I can actually state on this forum an actual business name but his shop is located in Henderson/ GREEN VALLEY area and he works on MOTORCYCLE & ATV units his name is Mike he has 30 years experience Truly a superior find...(Clue to his location: read BETWEEN THE LINES) Thanks for listening Big Dave
