What a fabulous friendly family firm

What a fabulous friendly family firm
I'm so nervous visiting always worried about being pressured into finance deals that suited the dealer so It was with some trepidation. I booked a test ride with Blackburn. I didn't need to worry Hannah and Paul were lovely knowledgeable and friendly people I could have stayed chatting all day
Thanks Guys I appreciate it it. It was totally by that approach I decided to purchase from them and will do so from now on

Excellent customer service and…

Excellent customer service and workmanship. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I love this dealership. Had a problem with the engine Management light coming on, on my 2024 T100. Fixed it but then they noticed the clocks had a problem (something I hadn't noticed). They sorted by ordering and fitting new clocks, all on warranty. Kept me updated throughout. I can't praise the folks enough, from the Young lady and gent on the service desk, to the mechanics who worked on the bike. Thanks Youles. Frank

The Blackburn shop has great value bike storage

I use the Blackburn shop, which has great value bike storage - insured - over winter. Have my bikes serviced here, would buy a motorcycle anytime, staff are friendly and keen on biking. Nice chill zone upstairs, loads of kit & accessories on sale too.

Outstanding Service

I can’t recommend Youles Motorcycles highly enough. From the moment I walked in, it was clear these guys take real pride in what they do. The level of service is second to none, friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about bikes.

What really stood out to me was their attention to detail. Nothing was rushed or overlooked. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure every aspect of the work was done to the highest standard. Although it was just a routine service, I always felt like my bike was in safe hands.

It’s rare to find a garage where you feel this level of trust and confidence. Youles Motorcycles go above and beyond, and it really shows. If you’re after top tier service with a personal touch, look no further.

One star rating is to much

One star rating is to much. Took my Triumph Speed Triple 1200rs there for a 40000 mile service. Hasn't done anywhere near that milage but I wanted the big service. Had that done, Front fork seals replaced and brake fluid topped up. Asked if they could put my heat shield back on as I didn't have the bolt. They had it for four days and I paid just over £1300 for the pleasure. Picked my bike up and though I didn't expect it to be spotless I was surprised to see it (especially the tank) covered in oily fingerprints. Plus they hadn't put the heat shield on. When I asked the "technician" about this he said that I'm better leaving it of. Five minutes into riding it home my low battery warning came on. They'd drained my brand new battery and not recharged it. Then I noticed loads of smoke coming from my engine. It stopped pretty quickly. Got it home and locked it up. Came out the next morning and there was a nice patch of oil under my bike. They are meant to check for leaks after putting the engine back together. The smoke that came of my bike after leaving there was leaked oil that had acumilated from the cam gasket that hadn't been put together properly. They told me that it was a pinch in the gasket. Took it back they had it another week. Had to take another day of work to take it there. Got it back its running a bit flat in track mode. Almost like it's in the same mode as road. Just took it for a spin and the heat shield came of of one end span round in the other direction and nearly had me of. Burnt my hand on the exhaust pipe trying to get it back round. Which I had no choice to do as I was stuck on the side of a busy road. Now going to have to take the bike somewhere else to get it on a diagnostic to see why it's running like it is. No confidence in the bike as I'm worried what else they've done to it. Honestly wouldn't take a push bike there to get the tyres pumped up after this. Fuming and seeking legal advise. Only issue I had with my bike before they got there hands on it was that the heat shield came of.

Hi Robin,

I'm very sorry to hear about your experience, and I completely understand your frustration. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to deliver, and I’d like to sincerely apologise for the issues you’ve encountered, not only with the condition of the bike when returned, but also the inconvenience and worry it’s caused since.

We acknowledge there were mistakes made with the cam cover gasket and heat shield, and these should have been picked up before the bike left our workshop. While the cam cover leak has since been resolved under rectification, and we also addressed the battery and heat shield fitting, it's clear this hasn’t restored your confidence and for that, again, I’m sorry.

The situation with the heat shield coming loose again, especially given the safety concern it caused, is unacceptable. If there was any reason it couldn’t be reinstalled safely, that should have been communicated clearly before the bike was handed back to you.

We want to make this right, and I would like to personally speak with you to discuss any further steps we can take, whether that’s helping organise a full diagnostic or offering additional support to address the running issue and restore your trust. You're welcome to contact me directly, or if you'd prefer, I can reach out to you.

Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback, even though it’s difficult to read, it’s important we take it seriously.


Kind regards,
Haydn Beverley
Aftersales Manager

Won’t do long distance trade in again

I am surprised by the amount of good feedback that has been written.I will never do a long distance trade exchange again!!!started off okay but then 4 weeks later and 14 phone calls to chase each step of the way later I finally got my bike.bike is very nice but has a throttle fault (well known for the bike)so I phoned after sales to see what could be done,but I got the impression they thought I couldn’t ride a bike and was doing it myself,as usual I got “will speak to someone and CALL YOU BACK “DTF call you back.out of sight out of mind.getting my own local mechanic to sort it.terrible service.

Bought transalp 750 from youles manchester and had amazing service. Harrison spoke to me about the bike, explained the process, and arranged for the bike to be delivered within 2 days. Having not seen the bike in person before buying, i was worried, but it all went really well and im out and about, enjoying my new toy. Thanks, Paul

Horrible experience.

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Rude and unhelpful. The owner is especially obnoxious. Avoid!

Five stars isn’t enough

Second bike I’ve bought from Youles and I couldn not speak highly enough about the whole experience. The staff at both the Blackburn and Manchester dealerships deserve more than the five stars I’ve left. A special mention to Jordan at Manchester and Adam at Blackburn who I could happily chat with all day, and last but definitely not least Jason at Blackburn who went above and beyond. Thank you.

Worst service ever had buying a bike

Worst service ever had buying a bike, got a Africa twin delivered from Youles Honda Manchester, once delivered I noticed white overspray all over the bike, wheels had been painted, worried that the bike could possibly be damage/repaired, spoke with Joe ( one of the directors ) who wasn’t interested in trying to sort out the situation. Would seriously be careful if buying a used bike from Youles, I am currently looking at legal action against them.

First class service throughout

Youles Blackburn identified the fault on my Vespa and stored the scooter on site until the part was shipped from Italy. They then messaged me when the scooter was repaired, test ridden and ready for collection. The mechanic allocated to the job fully explained the fault and the procedure used to rectify it.
First class customer service.

Youles Blackburn and Manchester - excellent customer service!

Went for a test ride on a Triumph 400 at the Blackburn branch - all the staff I encountered were helpful and pleasant to deal with.The branch was a welcoming place too.
Later went to the Manchester branch and test rode a Honda that I ended up purchasing! I was welcomed as warmly as I had been at the Blackburn branch, treated well ( there’s only so much coffee you can consume!) Particlar thanks goes to Dave, who was a pleasure to deal with and saved me money on the tracker I had fitted. I would heartily recommend a visit if you are looking to change your bike, or if you’re in the market for a first bike. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent service on bike storage over winter

Used Youles Blackburn to store my bike over winter. They looked after the bike, condition was perfect. I had an MoT and a link lowering kit swapped too before getting the bike back on the road and everything was done properly. Excellent communication with the shop as well throughout winter. The workshop guys even fixed a loose indicator for free. Great service, proper bikers.
