Default First service dealer recommendation in Orange County, CA?

Hello all,

There are several riders in the Orange County in California here. Anyone would suggest a dealer for doing the first service of my cbr250?

Go to. Mac motorcycle repair or something along those lines.. in Costa mesa. Google him. I paid half the price dealerships costs. It takes him at least a day or two since he does it all himself. Only problems are, cash only, and he has an attitude. Expect clint eastwood kinda

I've taken my old bikes to Long at Mach 1 in Costa Mesa. He is typically cheaper than dealers and does good work.

I also heard good things about Champion Motorcycles in Costa Mesa where I bought my bike. I'll probably take it there for my 1st service.

@anguy079: ow, 2 days... that's a long time without my bike
@Needa916: Champion Motorcycles Costa Mesa are the guys I bought the bike from. I liked them so I wouldn't mind giving them a bit more money.

Yeah it is a long time. But I figure I had work from 8am-6pm anyways and I have another vehicle. So it was fine.. all up to you though! With him he saved me money, as well as gave me a full checkup and told me exactly what he thought on my bike. More of a personal level kind of thing

They're 3 minutes from my place, i bought my boots there. They weren't very friendly. I love my boots but didn't have a great shopping experience which made me doubt how they'd treat me if I brought my bike for service, whereas the guys at Champion Motorcycles Costa Mesa were really nice, giving me useful advice.
Meh, maybe they had a bad day at hbhonda when I came in, or I wasn't very pleasant myself. Doesn't hurt to go there and try again. I'll drop by soon.

I actually bought my bike at hbhonda when I walked in, no one offered to help me. Not to mention they got me to fill out all the paperwork before telling me that the cbr I wanted was out of stock and they kept delaying me. The guys at champion are a lot more friendly. I only bought it at hbhonda because it was closer to my house. I havnt been there since.

So yeah, we pretty much agree. When I bought my shoes I asked the sales guy at his desk how much was the CBR250, he said "4100" and returned to his screen. No "hello", nothing. Too bad for him, would he have been a bit more friendly I might have bought one from him. Instead I did all the trip to Costa Mesa to buy it on sale from Champion Costa Mesa at 3800.
