"Last May 07 I finally got to ride my 98 Fatboy again after being laid up with a bone infection. The first ride was the Santa Clara Valley Peace Officers ride from SJ to Hollister where I live. I had done the ride every year until I was down for the count for a year or so. Anyway, my wife and I are enjoying our ride back on 101 to Hollister with the other umpteen hundred bikes and right around San Martin Ave...my throttle cable busted and I was on the side of the road watching everybody ride by to the BBQ and beer! Well I was able to reach under my tank and "finger" the throttle with one hand and shift with the other. I was able to tickle her (my bike) to the back roads and then to House of Thunder. I told Steve in service about the problem and he went to work. The part was in stock...he took the bike right in, and buya! an hour and 15 minutes later the wife and I were back on 101 headed for Balado Park...I was determined to finish this 1st real ride in a couple years to the end. Well we made it just in time to miss the BBQ, most folks had taken off, but the beer was 2 for 1 so they could get rid of it!! What a deal! Break down, stop at House of Thunder for a pit stop to fix a throttle cable and then 2 for 1 beer! Props to Dan and Steve for the GREAT service along with all the other staff from Albert and the clothes gang on through the sales staff..we felt at home while hangin around waiting for the fix. This is a great shop that has never skipped a beat since the days they were here in Hollister. I have had work done there and at the new House of thunder and nothing has changed....The Best in the Bay!! Thanks all...and sorry it took so long to log our story,"

"Sean is an excellent sales person. I called 20 mins before the dealership closed. Sean told me to come in anyways. I purchased my new Fat Bob that night. He made sure I rode it home that night by also setting me up with very inexpensive motorcycle insurance (after my insurance company was closed for the night). He went above and beyond by staying till about 9pm when I rode home. With a follow up call a week later just to see how my new Fat bob was, and to find out if I had any questions. Ask for Sean. "

"What can I say.. but these guys are GREAT. I bought my 2008 Street Glide from Sean Manley who helped out in every way. I have owned other bikes but never a Harley. Sean explained everything in detail and made me feel good about making my purchase. I highly recommend House of Thunder for all Harley purchases."

"When I purchased my 2008 Night Rod Special I had some questions and concerns. The staff was more than accomodating and I never felt pressured to make a decision that I wouldn't be happy with. From financing and insurance to parts and service I have been "wowed" on House of Thunder HD's customer service and desire to exceed customers expectations. Hats off to YOU! Big thanks to my sales associate Denise. She was wonderful! Cheers!"

"I actually came in to just show my wife and daughter the style of bike that I wanted. I then met Denise and Albert. They were very friendly and outgoing beyond what I was used to at another Harley dealer that I went to earlier. I told Denise what I wanted and she actually listened to me. There was no pressure or anything. And then she found me a bike that I fell in love with. When my wife said go for it, I did. And now have a 2008 Heritage Classic. And then I met Andrew in the service department who helped me add some accessories. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and helped a great deal. And he even remembered my name the next weekend. The next weekend I went back to get a couple more things and met Steve in the service department. And here was another great individual. Steve is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. All I can say is the people are great, the facility is great and everyone treats you like family. I can tell I’m going to be spending a lot of time at House of Thunder. "

"First time in a H-D dealership. Met Raymond, who showed us around, answered all of our questions. came back twice before choosing my new bike. Raymond was very helpful through the whole process, with NO pressure! He even was able to get me a better rate on my insurance. Steve did a great job on the accessaries, bike is set up perfectly. Leslie and Andrew helped set me up with riding gear and made great recommendations. I couldn't be more impressed with the whole experience and am very proud to tell people I bought my bike from House of Thunder!"

"I recently brought my 05 Road King into House of Thunder for regular maintenance, new rear shocks, additional chrome, tires and lights. Picked her up on Saturday and I have to say that the bike delivery presentation after service was perfect! All of this service far exceeded my expectations, the bike was super clean, and ran like new. Steve (service) and the parts team are super, they know what works and what doesn't when it comes to helping a customer to zero in on just the right part/solution. They are very upfront when something doesn't work or a particular solution has a history of failure. The service group is also very thorough when performing service, they detected an oily rocker cover gasket and replaced immediately (this was covered under extended warranty). Nice work House of Thunder, keep up the terrific customer service! I'll be back soon for more mods. Mark"

"A1 Dealership. From the first time I walked in and met Denise she made me feel at ease and at home without any pressure, showing me around the dealership as well as the shop (to show me a new model not yet on the floor), there, the manager Steve went out of his way to bring the bike out in the middle of the shop floor and answered all my questions about service and maintenance that they perform on all bikes. When I asked if a particular part was available for this model, I was introduced to Andrew in Parts, who quickly answered the question. I was so impressed with the "personnel" I told Denise "I'll take one!" My color choice and style was due to be shipped in 4 days and Denise told me that she would keep me up to date as to when it would arrive. A week later I called to add a option and found out Denise had fractured her arm and was stuck at home. Enter Raymond, He explained that he would help me with my request, and that required changing quotes (twice because I found more things for the bike!) I found him to be very professional and prompt. He let me know when the bike had arrived and when I could pick it up, although he may be out of town that day and apologized in advance. Enter Sean. The day I picked up my bike, Raymond was in L.A. so Sean did all the paper work, introducing me to my bike showing me programing, safety and operation in a very professional manner, while making me feel at home. And now time to test it. Enter the Apparel Department. I needed a helmet to test my new bike, and they were just as professional as everyone else. After test driving my new bike and saying my goodbyes, getting ready to leave, Raymond pulled into the parking lot from a cold 6 hour ride from L.A. pulled his gloves off, stuck out his hand and said "Welcome to the family!" This is a Dealership where you will feel at home. I hope Denise heels up fast. Dean Paxton "

"My son and I purchased our bikes here in 2005 and were very pleased. My son Mike purchased another from House of Thunder, a 2007 road king. In april of 2007 he was hit and was kiled. I didn't want his first bike to go back to be resold to someone else. Sean helped me rearrange transfer with Harley finance and with DMV. Thanks for every thing. Jay Yarbrough."

"I purchased a "previously registered" 2007 Street Glide from House of Thunder. Sean Manley was very knowledgeable about the product and very personable. The price was more than fair and I am proud to be a Harley Davidson owner. I brought my bike in for some accessories to be installed and Steve Millar and his crew completed the job in the time promised and the bike was delivered back to me and the old parts returned. In all very profesional sales and service."

"I have had some bad experiences with another HD dealership and had heard nothing but positive feedback about "House of Thunder" from friends of mine. On 9/14/07 rode my 02' Road King in for 20k service and an intermitant problem of sputtering after a long day of riding. When I picked up my bike I was excited to get back in the wind. Needless to say, the sputtering started! I made a U-turn and went back to the service department. Andrew the service guy immediately took the bike for a 10 mile test ride. The problem was detected when the bike got very hot, a bad in-take seal. Since my ride there had gone and it was closing time, Andrew offered to take me home to San Jose because he felt responsible for not detecting the problem earlier. The bike was repaired the next morning and I was only charged for parts and not labor. Now that is True Customer Service that is hard to get from any dealership! I am so pleased with the way they handled an intermitant problem (never gave up) that I have told all my biker buddies of the best customer service in the bay area and will continue to share my positive experience with House of Thunder.

"In December of 06' I made a mistake and bought my new Lowrider at another local Harley dealer. The other dealer does not have a friendly atmosphere and has the attitude that if the customer doesn't like our store then "shop somewhere else." That's exactly what my wife and I are doing. We shopped at all the local dealers and House of Thunder is by far the best. That's where all of our business will go. I will buy a new Road King in the future from House of Thunder. The employees treat you like royalty. I have been spreading the word, both as a Police Sergeant and a proud Harley owner. House of Thunder-keep up the GOOD WORK!!"

"I can walk to the dealership from my home. After a 5 year hiatus from motorcycling, I decided to return to the fold. My springer is my first cruiser style bike. The entire experience from Raymond in Sales, to Steve in parts, to Steve and the guys in service, has been exceptional. Dan has put together a first class group of people that provide an unmatched customer experience. My boys and I are treated like family and we really appreciate it. House of Thunder has made my first Harley experience more fun than I ever thought it would be. "

"During my recent trip to Hollister for the Bike Rally, I broke down in the middle of nowhere and had to be hauled to a shop near my destination for repairs. We called ahead and the Service Manager, Steve, reserved a lift for my arrival, and was very thorough in going over my bike and locating the electrical problem. None of the tests they ran could locate a problem, but they diligently tested alternate parts until the faulty voltage regulator finally proved to be the culprit. They worked on my bike and tested it until they were sure I was safe to leave the dealership and complete my weekend's activities. I really appreciated the priority they put on getting to the bottom of my problem and fixing it, so I could get back on the road, as I had already spent several hours in the hot sun stranded by the road. All the staff at the store, was friendly and supportive, we came back the next day for BBQ and music and thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this "House of Thunder" dealership! Thank you Steve and your crew for your hard work! Sincerely, Penny"

"I just picked up my Road Glide, Raymond was great and helpful. I asked to upgrade the exhaust and have it installed before I picked it up. Well first order parts, they'll be in next week, 5 days no problem. It would be another week or so for a service appt. Well now things weren't looking so good for me. There wasn't any sense in trying it out before the attitude adjustment. But the team came together and were able to get it done. Your sales, service,and parts guys ROCK! I was able to pick it up already to rock and roll. That ride home that evening was fan f*%#tastic. Thanks again."

"Dan and his employees offer outstanding service, in sales, parts and service. Dan will go out of his way for you even if you did not purchase your bike there. I recently bought a 2006 screaming eagle v-rod from Green Valley H.D. When I went there to get a problem taken care of with blemishes that started showing up on my seat, the service manager just gave me a laundry list of why I would be wasting my time and his in submitting a claim, although it was under the two year warrenty. He informed me that they would just pass it off as wear and tear or that I had not taken proper care of it. He told me that he had similar problems with his Corbin seat, & probably he should have bought a Harley seat. So after the run-a-round I went over the hill to House of Thunder. When I entered the shop Dan was at the service counter. I asked him what the warranty policy was on seats, I explained to him the problem, he said let's go look at it. He immediately said that's not right. He took my phone number and said he would call the Harley seat rep. This was on Sunday afternoon. Well on Tuesday he was shipping my seat to Harley and the following Tuesday House of Thunder called me to tell me that my NEW screaming eagle seat was there for me to pick up. This was a $300.00 seat - need I say any more? I always tell my friends about the outstanding service I receive at House of Thunder. A few years ago I retired from the grocery business and I always remember them preaching customer service, if you want the coustomer's return business. Well this has gotten a lot longer then I expected it to but it needed to be said and Dan needed to be thanked. Because these days, really good service seems to be rather non-existant. House of Thunder is WITH OUT DOUBT the exception! Thanks for listening to me ramble on. JIM FOYLE"

"Had a regular service performed and auxiliary lights installed on my 98 Lowrider. There were some problems installing the lights due to a prior non Harley light installation. Steve, my service rep. kept me posted with the work's progress. While the "delivery" was 30 minutes later than promised due to a few issues related to the prior electrical installation, the finished product installation, fit and finish far exceeded my expectations.

"We are usually ones that are hesitant about putting words in writing unless we're passionately pleased with an experience. We can't describe enough of how well the experience was recently in contacting and doing business with the Service Department of the House of Thunder. We can certainly understand why they've received the 2006 Bronze Bar & Shield Award for two consecutive years. Prior to our contact with House of Thunder, our bike had been down for a total of 6 months. The Service Department had it up and running within three days. Though we did not buy our bike from House of Thunder we were treated as if we did. We believe we can say that we know exactly what we are talking about with regard to customer service satisfaction. The reason being we had gone through a bad experience in dealing with the dealership of whom we had previously purchased our bike from--the complete opposite of what we experienced with House of Thunder. Again, I can't describe enough about how well the grand customer service is at House of Thunder. It's worth the out of town travel to have the best customer service experience. I would recommend to anyone, see Steve and Andrew in the Service Department. "

"Hey, I got the bike I put together! What suprised me was, the people at house of thunder, all were there for me, they all are people persons, which means they took the time to explain things to me, and all were straight forward ..Starting with Dan and his wife, they were the first to strike me, with their straight forwardness. After talking to 6 other dealers, I talked to Sean Manley. I wanted a new bike plus the 110 kit, he matched all other dealers and we ordered the bike: two tone, dyna low rider,... Sean made it happen thanks Sean. What I found out was that their back shop was just as great as their sales department. Steve in the back room was totally above and beyond any other service manager that I had known before. He was attentive and understanding of my want's, not like other dealerships that make you feel like they are doing you a favor for buying. MY hat is off for House of Thunder, they are the best!!! I would also like to thank Andy, Gary, Andrew, Ian, Chris, Pam, Darin and Big Steve in the service department. I may have left out some of you, but all that Dan has hired are Great people. Thank you, Railroad Kinda guy ... JIm,"
