"I only went to the shop to look! But I fell in love the second I saw her! The sales team and I mean TEAM worked to give me what I wanted and needed to make a deal happen that day. They included my wife in every conversation and made sure we were both happy with the deal we made. They even stayed and worked with us even after they closed and were setting up for their Christmas party. Thanks again for making my first (but not last) harley purchase memorable!"

"I WAS UNSURE OF WRITING ABOUT OTHER H-D DEALERS IN SOUTH TEXAS BUT I AM MENTIONING IN GENERAL THOSE FROM SAN ANTONIO TO CORPUS CHRISTI ARE ABOUT AS ARROGANT AS THEY GET. THE S.A. DEALER I BOUGHT MY FIRST H-D IN 2007 FROM IS HISTORY TO ME; IT WOULD TAKE A BOOK TO MENTION THEIR INCOMPETANCE AND ARROGANCE.
SO I DECIDED TO RID MYSELF OF ALL THE ANGUISH AND BAD MEMORIES AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING IT!!! GOOD RIDDANCE!!! SO I EMAILED AROUND, AND I LUCKILY FOUND INDEPEDENCE HARLEY. WOW!!! WHAT A BUNCH OF NICE FOLKS WITH PROFESSIONALISM AND COMPETENCE TO MATCH. I BOUGHT A 2009 ROAD GLIDE (THEIR LAST ONE) AND I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. I ALSO DECKED IT OUT IN CHROME FORKS, FOOTBOARDS, CONTROLS AND HAND LEVERS! TO TOP IT ALL OFF THE OWNER MR. JIM BOOTH WAS THERE ON A SATURDAY TO GREET ME AND INTRODUCE HIMSELF! NONE OF THE OTHER STORES HAVE COME CLOSE TO THAT!!! I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT THAT SHOULD BE PLENTY OF AMMO FOR ANYONE OUT THERE WHO WANTS A GREAT AND FAIR BUYING EXPERIENCE! THEY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU, TRUST ME!!!

"It is my distinct and utmost pleasure to thank J.J. McCarty,Wes Wasicek and the finance team at your dealership.Our experience could only have been better
if we were buying several Harley's. My wife was treated with the utmost respect and we really feel to this day that we purchased a piece of American History.Your operation is of the highest caliber and should never be under estimated regarding efficiency and overall courteous and intrinsic sales professionalism.I am retired U.S. Navy and I felt like I did when I came back to the States after a long overseas tour, I was finally home amongst my people! If I hear of anyone shopping for a Harley I am not going to tell them about you guys because they wouldn't believe a word I'd say about you guys anyway unless they experienced it for themselves! Best Of all that God has for you all! Tony"

"These are a great bunch of guys who care about your needs. I would consider them an A-1 dealership. They met all my needs and then some. I was supprised when Eli gave me a quote on insurance that blew my insurance company out of the water. I have been with my insurance company for more than 20 years and they could not even touch the great quote he gave me. Hats off to a great bunch of people."

"I wish that I had never bought my motorcycle from Independence HD. If I had it to do over, I would give my money to another dealership. We were treated as if we were a burden to the staff. My motorcycle had fingerprints all over the chrome, fender & gas tank. I would have told them to rewash it, but we had already waited for over 3 hours. No one even had the courtesy to tell us when it was ready. Why did we make an 11:00 a.m. appointment? The kid that told me about the motorcycel didn't know about tire pressure and never mentioned the break in procedure. I was really happy to see the HD survey. There wasn't enough room to write about all of the mistakes made when someone purchases something as expensive and special as their first Harley Davidson. I made the most out of the room that I had. I will never walk into Independence HD again. My family owns 6 HD's and everyone was surprised at the unprofessionalism displayed by Independence.
ANSWER:(NO EXCUSES)
Ms. Boudiette,
I am so sorry for our mishandling of your purchase experience at our shop. I am embarrassed and ashamed about the way you were mistreated, and do not blame you whatsoever for not wanting to ever set foot back into our store. I do however, want to thank you for your e-mail because after a complete investigation of how this could have happened to you, we found several "holes" in our procedures.
We are now having the Service Dept. do all walk around deliveries for our bike customers, not the sales staff. If there are any technical questions, it should be answered consistently by the service personnel, not a salesman. They will be responsible for going down a checklist to include bike cleanliness to prevent another bike delivered dirty and fingerprinted. The wait period you had to endure is unacceptable and we are presently increasing our sales staff to shorten and streamline the purchase experience. We are hiring 2 more sales staff and an assistant to help the Finance Dept. and the Sales management.
Again I am very sorry that our shortcomings effected your experience. Thank you for listening.
Sincerely,
Jim Booth
Owner

"I don't send surveys's in often, but I have to say your dealership has the friendlist and most helpful staff I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I have lived in Dallas and Louisiana. I have been in quite a few dealerships, none have made me feel " at home " more than your group. Hunter, David, Wes and Bryce all great guys. (Haven't met the girls yet.) My brother and I own 3 Ashley Furniture Homestores, and always say you can buy a sofa anywhere, but the experience makes the difference. Anyway YOU GUYS ROCK. Thanks Mark Wilks "

"I refuse to take my bike to any other dealership for parts and labor...YES, it is a drive for me to get to your place but I have NEVER been treated as hospitable as I am when I walk through your doors...Friendly faces, nice smiles and a willingness to help, not to mention going the "EXTRA MILE" to make the customer happy...If I ever buy a NEW bike I will make sure that Independence is my FIRST CHOICE...Keep up the good work and believe me when I say that I will ENCOURAGE all of my riding friends to come and see you!!!"

"Jones: I think you guys have a wonderful facility and an awesome crew. But myself and others are wondering why you guys let Chad from the service department go. He was a great technician. Well keep up the good work. Houston,TX
Answer: Chad did the noblest act of love I know of; giving up his hobby and love to support his extended family. Chad took in family members when they were unemployed, resigned here to take on a higher paying job to support their efforts in contributing to the wellfare of his family. We love and miss Chad very much. His unselfish act has earned him the respect of us all at the shop. Jim Booth, Owner"

"06-08-06 was a day I had waited for since I was 15 years old and I'm almost fifty . I bought my first Harley, a Road King. I bought it from Independence HD because of two very good reasons. The first reason was the outstanding price, the second was the fact that they made me feel like I was buying from a friend or family member that I could trust. The really surprising thing was, it didn't stop after I bought the bike. I walked in today to buy something for the bike and the young lady called me by name, the samething happend in the service department when I dropped my bike off for the 1000 mile oil change. I'm not dealing with strangers I'm dealing with friends. Friends, who really do care about me and my bike. A big slice of rasin pie for all you guys and gals. Thanks, and may the good Lord watch over each and every one of you while your in the wind."

"I was first introduced to your dealership during a ride I was on. I was impressed with how helpful and attentive everyone was. Later I needed to get my bike serviced and my local shop was back logged a couple of weeks. I called and talked to DB, he said "come on down" and they would work me in. I did and they did. Everyone in the service department all the way to the mechanic who took me into the back to show me something on my bike were just fantastic. I may live a 100 miles away but you guys will have my service business from now on. Many thanks to all of you."

"I would just like to take the time and think IHD for all the help they gave me and my wife when I bought my bike.We had been looking all over central Texas for a Harley and the other shops staff just did not welcome use in as IHD did.Annette Smith was the sales person and she was great.We came in on a Saturday afternoon after looking at another bike at another Harley shop by that night I was driving home my bike.It is true that the staff at IHD is very helpful, keep up the extra effort thats what is going to set you above the others in my book."

"I bought my 2002 Harley Eletric Glide from a owner that had Purchsed it from Russ Welch. The bike has always been service at this site and in the last five month since I purchased the bike I have received nothing but oustanding service from both the service department and sales department. I hope all the employees I have dealt with stay at Independence Harley. They go out of there way to make you feel welcome"
