When I bought my Z1000SX I hit the internet and got best quotes nation wide. I took the copies of emails to my local dealer and asked him to price match. He said as a small dealer he could not match the big players but what he could not knock off on the price of the bike he would match with a service package and any accessories supplied and fitted at cost. I got the first service free, even the oils &filter, second service I think was also free as it was just a kick the tyres and brakes check. Annual service was £85.00. The whole time I had the bike they never charged me over £120. Also they always gave me a courtesy bike and not a junker, Demo models big versy, little versy etc!
Only time I had a moan at them was when they did an MOT and serviced the FZ1, I had a bolt drop out on a brake callipher. Martin the service guy said they changed the pads but did not remove the calliphers as there was no need as the bike only had 10k miles on it. To be fair to them I was pushing him to crack on as I was rushing down to Dover for a ferry.
If possible I always try and support my local dealer, I use a local dealers here in Spain, they are really good very helpful.
