I bought my Suzuki Marauder 250 (2001) in the middles of last summer and it was up to date with servicing and ran perfectly for the balance of the summer and I've had a couple of outings this spring. I think it's now due for a service (oil change, brake fluid and tune up) and I was going to take it to Suzuki Hillcrest, but after the negative comments in another thread about the new management there am wondering if I could just take it to Canadian Tire - the Richmond Hill location tell me they have a motorcycle mechanic. Anybody had experience with, or have any comments about, Canadian Tire motorcycle service?

Just go to the Dealers section and find the motorcycle store near you. I wouldn't drive my car to CT, forget about the bike.

Why? Because I haven't seen a single Canadian Tire having proper means to service a motorcycle. And regarding cars, I have way too many experiences (including personal) where the "mechanics" there couldn't do a simple job. The last one for me was the best - needed the tire plugged very quickly. Sure, I drive there, get charged $40+, get my 18" alloy rim deeply scratched on 6 out of 18 spokes and get the tire lugs overtightened because they used an air gun to tighten them. And I was told that the rim was like that when they got it.

Damn! WTF do they charge all that money for then? I always wondered how these employees who look like high school kids get all that technical stuff done. Thanks for the share, i never had enough dough to go up there and fix my car, My Desi Mechanic does a better job on my car and charges me less then half of what CT charges me, Not to say all Desi Mechanics know what they are doing.
Since you're in Thornhill, take your bike to Z1
+1....he knows his stuff.
Z1 is overpriced. needed a service last spring, called them and kahuna, kahuna was actually $50 cheaper, and same day turnaround. Z1 wanted a few days.
Tried out Rosey Toes in the fall. Great price, and serviced while i waited. Even took the time to show me how to do some of the stuff i needed myself.
