Bought a bike, took one 30 days to ship

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I purchased a 2009 Harley Davidson heritage Softail. The sales lady was very kind and helpful. After that it all went downhill. I was told I'd be notified when the bike was to be shipped, never heard a word. After 30 days and no bike I asked for a refund. 4 days later I get told by the shipper that the bike will be at my door the next day. I'm being forced to receive a bike that I no longer wanted and asked a refund for. By federal law after 30 days I'm allowed to ask for a refund. This company clearly refuses to follow Federal law business practices. Buyers beware!!!

Bad experience

Dishonest Financial practices. Outright lying to people about warranty coverage. Perpetrators of every low-down, *** stunt you can think of.

If you had a brain yourself, you would know how to type better. BTW. You only have one brain, not more than one so use the word brain, not brains.

Don't buy a motorcycle from these people. You will be sorry.

You type as if you have no brains.

Which one of Wildfire employees wrote this? It must be one of Ozzy's Patsy's.

This place is really shady. If you want Mickey Mouse mechanics working on your bike this is the place.

Called service department today and spoke with John.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
With John. Told hm him my 2014 streetglide was cranking a lot and won’t start. Battery then dies out. I agreed that it was time for a new battery and asked what kind of turn around time to install a new battery. Told John l bought the bike new there and said bring it in. By the time I checked in, new battery installed in 45 minutes or less. Great job! Have always received great service there. THKS JOHN

Very Disappointed!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
What a joke!!! I bought a 16 Road glide special last year I'm interested in trading in on a new 18. Now I know this is totally irrelevant as it wasn't me. But my brothers bought 3 brand new bikes there in The last few years. And we've sent many friends there that have all bought new bikes from them. And have always respected and talked highly about this dealer. But after my recent oredeal I will make sure to tell everyone to go elsewhere every opurtunity I get. So this is what has me so heated. So they told me pre paid maimtamce is non transferable. Now I haven't touched this as I tore my rotator cuff shortly after I bought it. So it only has 260 miles on it. Now the slap in the face is they told me amd my fiancé straight up in the finance office it was transferable. If I traded the bike in. And they transferred my brothers no questions asked when he traded his deluxe for a road glide. So wtf!!! That's so bogus. Then the even bigger kick in the balls is. He wants to give me auction price for my trade. Amd they do not have a used special for under 21 with way more miles. I know amd understand they are there to make money. But *** the money off your *** prep delivery and bike aren't enough. You have to pinch pennies on my trade to. Amd make 2 to 3 grand off that to. What a joke!!! Stay away at all costs. I'll be looking to buy a 18 elsewhere.

Wildfire Harley Davidson Customer Care Review from Lombard, Illinois

Had my bike in due to issues with front break (after having them take apart the entire front end this winter). I called to get status and was told they would call me back next day. Never heard from them. After a week I get bike back with them saying no issues. Took it to another HD dealer and found calipers were only working on 3 out 8. Took them all of 30 minutes. This Wildfire dealership needs to understand customer service is customer centric and they are sadly lacking in this regard.

Wildfire Harley Davidson - Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Review from Elmwood Park, Illinois

Had a nephew go into Wildfire Harley in Villa park, IL and purchase a brand spanking new Harley with his grandmother as a cosigner. Problem is, his grandmother never even stepped foot into that dealership, nor did she ever agree to cosign. Another problem is, my nephew never made one payment to the bank for that Harley and after riding it for the summer had it repossessed. Guess who's on the hook for that bank note? That's right, my 80 year old mother! So, how did Wildfire sell that bike with a photo copy of a driver's licence, a cosigner never having step foot in that door, and a forged signature? That's what we'd all like to know!

Rip offs

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Bought a HD last year my bike had 7K miles on it. One year later and several run arounds later I was told my bikes motor had blown. First I was told it had no oil in it even though they had just changed it for me. Then they said afterward it was my oil pump and it had oil in it. Then wanted 8K for w new motor . It came out of storage early 2015 and after they had it for months within 3 months I had to have my exhaust fixed , a tune up and now supposedly the motor was blown at 19 thousand miles. Do not go there!! People warned me and I didn't listen now Im screwed.

Choose WOODSTOCK HD

Integrity does not exist in this alleged Harley-Davidson Stealership. The comment Vultures does come to mind on the sales staff as well as a sales floor so morose you wonder if they are closing (Probably should) and one wonders why Harley-Davidson allows dealerships like this to sell their great machines. The associates and Sales manager or Credit manager whoever the guy playing on his phone seem to Hate each other. There is a girl on sales floor that associates talked to about helping them make a deal and I overheard them saying she's bitter because she gets half the commission the male sales manager gets???? Really? I will get back to credit in a moment. The sales people are not friendly and not enthused to be there it appears. Total different experience at WOODSTOCK Harley-Davidson.. Fun, Integrity, Helpful.. Great place to hang out. So now credit.. The DEAL Wild Fire made me had my credit rating at 6.99% when I have great credit I find out at WOODSTOCK my loan would be 3.99%??? So Wild Fire was ripping me off for 3% on a $25,000 motorcycle? I overheard WOODSTOCK manager says "Yep happens a lot" they can make more profit by hitting you for 3 points"????? What? So.. Buy where you want to.. I will take my hard earned money to WOODSTOCK Harley-Davidson and avoid Wild Fire Stealership as much as possible. Make your own choice.

Paid $2300.00 for ESP then won't honor it

I bought a hd motorcycle from Wildfire in Villa Park, Illinois. My salesman Tony told me if I bought the ESP and tire coverage my bike would be covered fender to fender and top to bottom. I purchased both for around $2300.00 My motor went out 12 months later, and the ESP was denied due to having upgrades done on the bike. The bike was just as I had bought it from Tony. The dealership and ESP are giving me the run around. Do not go to Villa Park Harley Davidson in Illinois they will not help their customers and seem to enjoy ignoring their customers. Another thing, I called to get an oil change, they needed 3 weeks. Not quality.

Heritage Harley-Davidson in Lisle is the place I go! Best one around!!!

Guest

I also bought a bike from wild fire, 2011 Dyna fat bob, not the bike i had drivin 3 hours there to get.I was uninformed until i showed up that the bike i was scheuled to look at had been sold the day before. But stayin optimistic i shopped around and found a bike i liked.

the 2011 dyna fat bob had 860 miles on it. Well within a year of having it 7 months of riding it both of my seals in my forks went out and its currently been in the shop due to engine problems, I also have not done a thing to the bike since i bought it.

im starting to think the best thing i got when i left there was a free t shirt and a coaster, although it took 7 hr of being there to get. Yesterday i called the finance dept to see if i could change my loan a little i was put on hold the woman couldnt get ahold of anyone took a msg and said well get right back to you well today i had to take it upon myself to call back i got thru and alls i got was short,rude uninformitive service needless to say i would never consider doing any business with wild fire Harley Davidson

Not happy with Wildfire either. Went there a few years back to buy a Road King.

When I told them I was trading a 2 year old 1200 Sportster, they told me they "don't take junk in trade".

I've ALWAYS been treated fairly at Conrad's, Heritage, and Woodstock. After my experience at Wildfire, I wouldn't buy a tricycle from them.
