Service Shops - Seattle area?

studioo · Post by **studioo** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 6:09 pm

I got my scoot last week (Buddy Italia 150) and am ±10 miles under 300Km and ready for the first service. The problem is my local dealer (Scooter Barn in Lynnwood, WA) can't squeeze me in until next Saturday. Since I use the Buddy as a daily commuter, next Saturday will put me at around 100 miles over the recommended service point.

So, anyone know of another service shop in the immediate area that could work me in before that? I'm a bit of a noob at this and don't really want to DIY.

If this has already been asked/answered, just point me to where

First Service can happen anywhere between the PGO-sticker's 300km, up towards as many as 500 mi, which you'll hear around here quite frequently. I wouldn't worry too much about hitting 300km exactly. You've got fresh oil and a good filter - it can suck up the garbage for another week.

Ducati Seattle was able to get my Monster taken care of next day last week. With the weather getting nicer and nicer every day, it might have started to pick up some more, but they are a Genuine dealer.

But I'll second PeteH, and say, IMO, you shouldn't sweat having it it at ~300 miles instead of km.

If you need to get your Buddy serviced, and you don't insist on going to an actual authorized Genuine dealer, I suggest you go to Scoot About. They are very good, and they run a fleet of Buddies for rental, so they know their shit.

They are nearby the Ducati of Seattle, the Genuine dealer in Seattle, so it's pretty conveniently located, if you don't want to go out of town to drop off your bike for service.

Or, you could just go to Ducati of Seattle, since it's a block away from there.
