Wm Snells

Discussion in 'Dealer & Workshop reviews' started by Nelson, Dec 12, 2017.

  1. What a fabulous group of chaps!
    I recently had to contact them as I needed the service book bring up to date, as well as a couple of copies of receipts.
    These days one is more often meet with an unwillingness to help or data protection bollox or dealers wanting £100 for just about anything.
    WM snell displayed a level of care, and helpfulness that has probably not been seen since the 1950's.

    Great bunch and a pleasure to deal with!

  4. As they were the supplying dealer on one of my bikes, I contacted them for the original sales receipts and anything else they had.

    They were spot on, supplying a load of paperwork and even some pics of the bike in their workshop. :upyeah:

    Top people from my experience.
     
  5. I've been using Snells recently for spares for my M900 and 900SS.

    The original reason was because it's a nicer ride from my home near Petersfield than going across the A272 to Moto Rapido in Winchester.
    I can do a nice circular route and come home a different way for a bit of variety.
    The A272 is full of twats showing off on their way to Loomies, so has been reduced to 50mph for most of the stretch between Petersfield and Loomies, and has a copper with a speed gun behind every other bush on a nice day.

    Everybody, quite rightly says what a good service Moto Rapido supply, but I have to say that for spares, Snells appear to have a bit more actually in stock for the older models and are really helpful.

  6. This is really scary, I posted the above, went off to a meeting as I am supposed to be working, and came back to the email below.
    The first marketing email I've received from Snells in the 2 years I've been using them:eek:
    Scary timing or what?

  9. Agree about how helpful Snells are.

    At first I though they were talking about a ride down to WDW Misano, and was thinking of joining them. Then I found I had misunderstood, and their scheme is for flying down and shipping the bikes separately by truck. So I lost interest then, since the ride down and bike (the pretty way) is much of what I was looking forward to.
