BMW Porto Alegre - Brazil - The workshop of horrors!
I won´t put any address as you should give them a wide berth!
I will pass on their outrageous pricing and riping us off. I wouldn´t mind paying big bucks for outstanding work. No. I do mind when their work is so incompetent that they let me leave their workshop on a motorbike which was actually dangerous to ride! That, I cannot forgive!
After the theft of my bike I got it shipped to their workshop and asked them to check it. When I picked it up few days later, the forks where mis-aligned and the handlebar was bent in 2 places. As a result, the throttle would be "sticky" and I would have to close it up or it would stay stuck, if you see what I mean! I was horrified and rode the bike out. I didn´t want anything to do with them anymore! Richard, our host, took a look at the bike and told me the bike was too dangerous for us to continue until Buenos Aires. He took us immediately to a local workshop. For less than 25USD the lad there fixed my bike in few hours!
On monday I will be in BAs and the bike will be in the trusted hands of Javier!
I will never let a BMW dealer touch my bike again !Ever!
For details check my blog the Post "The day BMW tried to kill me" (I will post it in the next few hours.)
