I had my Honda Goldwing brought into Southern Tier Honda tohave a wiring issue diagnosed. Ispoke with Gary and Jeff (tho owners) who were both very friendly andhelpful. Once the bike was in theshop, I decided to go ahead and have some other work done on the bike. I asked them if they can change my tireand give my bike a detail. Theysaid that they would be happy to service my bike. Before I gave the go ahead, I specifically asked if theyaccept credit card and both Gary and Jeff both told me that they accept allcredit cards.
After the work began, Jered called me and asked me if Iwould consider selling my motorcycle to them for $3200 and they wont charge mefor the work done on the bike. Itold him that the bike is worth $5500 and I definitely dont want to sell thebike to them, I just brought it in for service. When the work was complete, they called for payment of$800. I sent them my credit cardinfo and they responded that they need a postal money order! I asked why they changed the policy andthey acknowledged that they did tell me they take credit card but they changedtheir mind because they "have been burned in the past and dont feelcomfortable accepting credit card".
I dont know what their motive is, maybe they dont want topay the fee or maybe they want me to sell them the bike for the ridiculouslylow price of $3200 and they want to make it difficult for me because I rejectedtheir offer but whatever the reason is, I spoke to Jeff on the phone today, hewas very rude and told me he has my bike and "he can do whatever hewants to do".
Right now they are holding my bike hostage until I mail thema postal money order. The wholereason that I wanted to pay with Credit card in the first place, is that i amplanning on selling my bike and I wanted to use my credit card to carry thisexpense until I sell it and use that money to pay my credit card.
Stay away!!!
