Competent Yamaha Dealer in Ohio
« on: May 29, 2017, 09:42:29 am »
I have had my FJR serviced at Mid-Ohio since I bought it. As many of you know the shop was sold this past winter. With the sale, some of the key employees left the shop. One of them was Josh Parker, a Gold rated tech. He always did an outstanding job on what ever I needed. He was quite anal about his work, which I liked.
I am now looking for a good shop to continue the good service I've enjoyed in the past. Can anyone recommend a competent shop in Ohio? My bike is due to have the valve clearances checked in a few thousand miles. I would appreciate any suggestions on work actually done.
Thanks, Steve
Steve

All-Seasons in Wooster.  I've been happy with their service on my BMW.  They also do Yamahas.

Triumph Yamaha of Warren on Route 45 in Champion, Ohio a community about 2 miles North of Warren, Ohio.. The oldest and  (IMO) most competent Yamaha dealer around. Jim Iacozili former racer and owner runs a professional shop. I personally have not only bought three bikes from them but had several vintage bikes worked on and they ran perfectly after. Their number is 330-847-76-44 .

I did try to quietly ask about where Josh was and if he was still working. Understandably, they didn't have much to say.
Thanks to all of you for the suggestions, I appreciate it. Always good to have options in life!
