Los Angeles Folks: Preferred Buddy dealer?

Post by meldot »

Hi!
Who do you prefer-Noho scooters or Route 66 Modern?

Any awesome experiences or horror stories?
And are there other dealers that I'm missing?

I'm going to be buying a Buddy 125 soon. Like, after Thanksgiving. I'd planned on getting it from Noho, b/c they're so close, but didn't know if anyone had any suggestions otherwise.

Thanks!

NoHo. Voted 2009 best scooter dealership in LA by Los Angeles Magazine...

Great prices, great service, great people, and if they are also the closest to you, well what more do you need?

I haven't had much experience with Route 66 so can't really speak much about them.

NoHo is my dealer. Sure, I live closer to them but I'm the kind of person who would go elsewhere, even further, if I was at all unhappy with them.

My experience there has been wonderful. They're really great people. I've seen Mike (the owner) go above and beyond to help out customers in need. He's taken care of towing and helping out with scoots that have broken down on group rides. He really supports scootering and the community.

Mike and Jimmy (the service tech) are two of the most all around knowledgeable scooter people in the area. Greasy, who occasionally does service there, is a total ace—he does all the work on my Vespa.

I bought mine at NoHo, and Mike was a huge help. In fact, he's the reason I have a buddy and not another scoot. Great shop, great owner. I recommend NoHo for sure!!

NoHo by far, I live about 80 miles or so from there but I still choose them over any other dealers. Nothing but straight forward, honest people that won't steer you wrong.

I should have said, I have gone to them for little things. Service, a wobbly mirror. They were ok with me. I know Purple had a problem with them, but I think they're an ok shop. But I think you get the more "personal" touch with Mike at NoHo.
