I just wanted to give recognition to a great dealer for EXEMPLARY customer service. Big thanks to Terry and Laurene from Highlands Yamaha in Countryside, IL.
I bought a bunch of gear and clothing from Highlands Yamaha this weekend (greeeeeat deals) at the Big East Powersports show in Syracuse, NY. I get home to find out I had mistakely bought the wrong size jacket (SM and I am an XL. Not even sure how that happened!). And also I went to try on my new Yamaha bib and the zipper came off. So I was not having a good day at all. Problem was I lived quite a distance away. I called them in the morning and they gladly put the right jacket aside for me (without charging me any additional $ for a deposit or whatever). They could have easily said tough s*&t, you bought it, you're stuck with it, whether it fits or not.
So I got up to the show and they had the right size jacket ready and waiting for me when I got there which they gladly exchanged. Unfortunately the bib with the broken zipper, they did not have any more in my size in which Terry was ready to give me a full refund. I told them I really wanted the bib, not the money. So Laurene went out of her way to sit and fiddle with the broken zipper for about 10-15 minutes (in what was a very busy dealer booth) and fixed my zipper for me. Easily, they could have told me there was nothing they could do for me and to bring it to a tailor at my own expense.
I just wanted to give a great dealer showing great customer service proper recognition to the Yamaha community.
Thanks Highlands Yamaha. Great job!!
