I should be getting my RT-S by next weekend. I live in San Antonio but am buying from a dealer out of Round Rock. I was wondering from the San Antonio area folks, who do you recommend for service? Trying to find a reputable shop nearby for routine maintenance, warranty work etc. Thanks in advance.
Kent Powersports in Selma.

Thanks sir!
I purchased my2012 RT Limited from Kents. Great dealer, matched prices from advertised. Had my 600 mile service there as well. Did a great job, but I think I will do the routine maintenace myself. $300 for first checkup seems a little pricey to me..
I think Kent is probably the largest dealer in the area. When I was looking to buy my Spyder, I visited them to talk with a salesman and then called to talk to a service tech. The salesman was nice, but he tried the usual "Limited" is in short supply tactics and wouldn't budge on price. The service tech said he was too busy to talk to me on the phone and would call me back. I gave him my number, but he never called me back. Needless to say, I bought my RT Limited from Woods Cycle Country in New Braunfels for about $1200 less than what Kent was wanting. It is a little north of San Antonio, but they are a great bunch of people and it is a family owned business.
Good to know, thanks!

Have you had Woods do any maintenance on your Spyder...what have you heard about them. I am thinking of taking BR1 to Kent, but can go to Woods just as easy....your thoughts please...

Kent is the place to go:agree:. That's where I purchase my RT-S
Okay, a friend of mine has had good luck there....I will probably try both a time or two.....thanks.

Woods has replaced my throttle body, they have replaced my turn signal cluster, they have performed my 600 mile service, and they took me in with no appointment to fix my HID headlight that worked intermittently. All of the maintenance was same day unless I dropped it off on the weekend to pickup early the following week or when I had to wait for the throttle body to ship from BRP which took 2 or 3 days.Quote:

I can't complain about their service. I asked the parts dept about Elka shocks. They didn't sell them, but because I wanted to buy them, they became dealers. I now have a new pair of Elka Stage 1+ shocks installed. The service dept also washed my spyder every time that I took it in for service.

Washed your Spyder? Ya can't beat that. I bought my 2002 Wing from Woods when they were Honda in Austin. A San Antonio dealer did my 600 miles check and it has never been in the shop since....it runs like a hose with 62,000 miles on it....11 years old now. I may well try Woods, I guess they are the same family that moved from Austin to N.B. Looks like we have two good dealers here. Thanks
