Very nice gentleman helped me with a belt. However, the…read morestore lost a star because there was another lady working in the store today who was hanging out in the back not dealing with customers. I waited until the kind gentleman was done with his 1st customer & then he helped me. As he was helping me another customer entered the store. As I was about to pay, the lady finally came to the front of the store, but only to tell the the male staff member to help the person who came in behind me & then she walked away again. I figured she must be the manager because she was telling her fellow employee what to do. So I asked her if she was the manager because I wanted to make a point of telling her how helpful her employee had been to me. She said she was not & then went back to her phonecall. This lady really soured an otherwise pleasant adventure to your establishment. I hope the actual manager will have a stern word with her about optics & customer perception.

Dodman's did not return my calls after he phoned me and told me that his employee phoned in sick. The owner tried to fit the cover himself And really botched this simple job. I ended up driving in to the business 4 times to talk with the owner and on the 4th time I took the seat back. I took my seat and cover to Gledstone Upholstery in Cloverdale and they installed the cover with no issues in under a week. It looks great! I have dealt with Dodman's for over 30 years and with them being beside Burnaby Kawasaki you would have thought that their work with motorcycle seats would be good. I think the motorcycle seat expertise is no longer there and I will never be back. Don't take your motorcycle seat to Dodman's.

Bonus if you're in those sizes! I was eyeing some nice leather riding boots so I'll be back again to check those out. I would recommend if you're shopping for good leathers, helmets or boots. You can also see a lot of their inventory on their Facebook page. Huge parking lot next door too for easy parking.
