Default NewRoc done, now Empire Harley

I just got an email outlining that NewRoc H-D is under new ownership, now Empire and that they're holding job fairs so I guess all the old crew is out. Too bad in a way, NewRoc started out well but went down hill at the end. Good luck to the new owners.

from what I heard they did so well because they were selling there harleys at much better deals than most other dealers in the area but they were doing horrible service on them. My friend bought a street glide from them and he had a hard time shifting it. The other dealer he took it to told him that they would just push bikes out of the door without doing the proper adjustments to them and they had to fix a lot of there problems. there is probably more to it than that but that is what I was told at another dealer not to far from them.

December 26th, 2011, Lighthouse Harley Davidson of Huntington closed its doors unfortunately. They were an excellent dealer, but apparently business just went downhill due to the economy. It's a shame...I always received excellent service there.

That's a shame. It's come to something when the good ones start folding.

This was my experience with them. Great price on a bike, but problems that were a result of their poor service prior to the sale ensued.
