Great friendly service

This was my second new bike from Lings Watton. As always James was brilliant and very patient. He found a great deal for me looking forward to collecting my new bike in January. Great dealership and very friendly and helpful staff. If I could give them 6 stars I would.

Very friendly and helpful

Very friendly and helpful. No pressure and very patient holding the bike for me while I waited for money to come through to pay for it. Delivery driver Cliff was extremely friendly and took time to chat on the day. Joe called me a couple of days after delivery to make sure I was happy with everything. Overall a completely pleasant and hassle free experience.

the worst experience I've ever had

If kier starmer owned a motorbike shop it would be this one, with staff that don't do their jobs right, promises that amount to nothing, extra charges added and then completely try to take away your rights.

I was sold a bike by Sam harper sales person who on email said the bike tax and registration is free but then added it to the financial agreement with out saying anything, he was the one that checked the bike out before it was sent, Stevie wonder could of done a better job, the KTM was delivered with cosmetic faults not of satisfactory quality, it really shows how much these guys care, it's amazing how Sam can emails when he
wants to sell, and ignores you when there's a problem. but what can you expect when his manager Ian baker is the same, bends the truth of terms and conditions to try and baffle you, he also said he will sort it out and nothing cames of it, tried to make me return the bike to be awkward and when he found out the finance company decided to return it, he ignored all my emails very unprofessional.
This has to be the worst experience I've had buying off a main dealer.

Ipswich Lings wow.

Having recently bought our fourth motorcycle from Lings the service has been very good every time , However having just used their Ipswich dealership the service we received there has been exceptional , the bike was even delivered a week early.
Nothing was too much trouble and everything was spot on.

Small bike but big service

All dealings with Lings have been fantastic. I have purchase accessories online previously and this time a bike for my grandson.

Without going into detail during the time I reviewed purchasing the vehicle and actual purchase, I suffered quite a severe medical condition which placed me in hospital.

Kevin T. from Lings has been brilliant and very understanding and kept me in the loop during each element of purchase and delivery stages. I would not hesitate to purchase again from them.

It is very refreshing to come across good customer services as it is not always a given these days.

Looking forward to my delivery and the many happy hours it will bring my grand children in the future.
