Hannums Harley Davidson

Over the years, I have had several conflicts with Hannums Harley-Davidson dealerships. It started in the early 1980's in their location by the Granet Run Mall. I was a teenager and Harley -Davidson was the apex of my existence. over the next 40 years, I purchased eight new Harley-Davidson Motorcycles at different locations and different States. I own a 2019 Road King at this moment, and it is one of the top two Harley's I've owed. The other Being a 1988 FXR Super glide. I am sorry I'm rambling on. On Friday July 31st, 2026, I went to the new Hannums at 897 Matlack Street in West Chest. I had read an article about the Dead Wood that Harley had just introduced. To be honest, I had lost interest in Harley- Davidson over the last few years. They seemed to be going in a new direction, and I liked the old school design. I was recently diagnosed with a disease that has changed my life expectancy and physical strength. The reason I went to Hannums was to see the Dead Wood. At this point my Road King is a little hard to manipulate while it is idling. So here is the story (about Time) I talked to JR John Reardon , a young girl at the front door desk and a service guy who said when he moved here from the other location, he did not get cards. I'm elderly and I do not remember the girl in front or the service guy's name. Jr was very helpful and the two others were extremely nice. While I was milling around the facility. I went upstairs for a coffee. I had a conversation with an extremely nice man who had to dogs with him and a very nice woman. The experience was exceptional. As I was leaving, I found out that the man I was talking to was Mr. Hannum and the woman was the manager. I don't think I have seen a Hannum family member in 40years. As I got on my Road King, I thought this place is nothing like what I remembered it to be. It was probably my issues that caused the chaos in the past. I will do all my Harley shopping at Hannums and because of the retro move hopefully Harley is making. Sincerely, Todd A. Olin

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: after the bike was picked up it was taken to a independent repair shop. The mechanic there told me that I had been ripped off and tech didn't diagnosed the bike right. The repairs that were offered to replace the oil pump lifters and the cams would have caused issues later because the metel in question inside the motor would have still been floating around. I am not accepting this response but will agree to disagree with this . I will never come back to or send any one to that shop ever . It's ashame because I always felt at home and like family there in the past . I am a honest person that works hard for his money and when someone tells me that they are sure that the problem is this and then it turns out it's something else it's a little hard to swallow.I put trust in this shop. I guess you live and learn from your mistakes even if it cost you 1200 bucks.

Dear [redacted],
 
Below is our statement on [redacted] complaint:
 
Customer brought his motorcycle in for us to diagnose a noise coming from the right hand side of the bike. The tech inspected and verified customers concern of a noise. Tech's evaluation was that there could be two possible causes for this noise. One being in the cam cover department of the motor and the other being in the transmission area, both of which would have to be pulled apart to confirm the actual problem. Hannum's at this point, informed customer of the tech's suggestion to inspect the transmission area first because it would be the quickest and least expensive place to check. The tech then removed the exhaust system and transmission side cover to inspect for wear. Tech found a large amount of metal debris on the inside of a cover which indicates a bearing failure in the transmission. The customer was then quoted for the rest of the repairs of a transmission rebuild and was also shown in person the metal debris and bearing that broke. Customer gave authorization to Hannum's to make repairs to the motorcycle. Tech made the repairs and reassembled motorcycle, upon going on test ride of the motorcycle the original noise was still present. Tech removed cam cover and inspected and found that a lifter had excessive wear causing damage to cams and oil pump. It was then confirmed that the customers motorcycle had two separate issues that needed to be repaired. Customer was then called and informed that the problem making the noise was indeed coming from the cam cover department as originally told to the customer as a possible cause of the noise. Hannum's gave the customer a quote on these repairs and customer declined work to be completed because a lack of funds to be able to pay for the repairs. At this point with no money given as a deposit for any of the repairs up to date the service manager offered a discount on parts and labor and also free winter storage so the customer could have time to come up with the funds. Customer declined saying that he would just pay what he owes to this point and transport his bike home to stay in his garage until he had the funds to complete the job. Customer request of getting a refund for the transmission repairs because of not being accurately diagnosed is in false pretense, the only way to properly diagnose is to remove the transmission cover or cam cover and inspect, which a problem was found and shown to customer in both the transmission and motor.  If you have any further questions please email or call.  Thank you
