Bloodworth Motorcycles

First, I can not believe this conversation even happened while at a motorcycle shop…
I went into this location on a Saturday, when they have a little lunch display set-​up. The older gentleman who somewhat greeted me at the door asked if I was going to eat. I said I had a sandwich with me and that I was a vegetarian (they had cold-​cuts). He asked if I ate fish and eggs. I said yes to both. He then asked why people would not eat eggs, since it is a complete protein. I told him vegans don’t eat any food that comes from an animal. It’s a moral choice for them. His response to me…“Well those are the same people that are having all the abortions.” Where would that even come from?! And what relevance to anything we discussed?!
Being female, it already is a bit intimidating going into a motorcycle shop as you are first learning about motorcycles… and then something like abortion is being brought up?!
It was uncalled for and appalling!
It does not really even need to be said, but I will be taking my motorcycle questions and purchases somewhere else, where politics and my body are left out of the equation.
It saddens me that this type of ignorance still exists.

David Bloodworth has zero people skills and is a big liability to that dealership.
He should be in a small office cubicle in the shop and not allowed to come out to talk to customers ever. He is rude and lacks any sort of customer service skills. His employees are fantastic but every time I go there I cringe at the fact that I am supporting a man who is miserable to deal with.

I purchased a motorcycle from Bloodworth yesterday. It was without a doubt the most professionally handled purchase, from start to finish I can remember. Not just best motorcycle purchase — any purchase The salesperson (Glenn, ask for him he’s amazing) was knowledgeable, responsive and not pushy at all. After I signed the closing papers, which were all explained to me by the owner, she thanked me for my purchase. Last but not least, I love the motorcycle I bought!

Been in twice and the first time I met a guy that wasn’t that helpful, but everybody has a bad day. I decided to go back and met one of the best salesman I could have come across. He took a lot of time, was extremely knowledgeable and I may end up buying a bike from them. I think people are way too harsh on these sites anyway. Nobody is perfect. These guys have a nice shop. I would recommend them.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!
Bloodworth sent me home with a great deal and a great ride. I loved my experience. I felt like I was accommodated really well and couldn’t be happier.
If you do go, ask for Glenn Hawkins. He was, by far, the best salesman I’ve dealt with in my vehicle purchasing history. I could tell he wanted me to be completely satisfied with my investment and didn’t try to talk me into buying anything I didn’t want.

I have read the reviews of previous folks and find some hard to believe. Having been in the service industry myself for over 25 years, I have come to understand that there are sometimes when things won’t go as planned. That being said, I can say that everything went just as planned for me. I am MORE then happy with my purchase! The BMW S1000RR is a Tremendous piece of machinery and craftsmanship. Glenn Hawkins was a very knowledgeable and professional salesmen. When I spoke to him over the phone he understood me and listened to me as well as answered all my questions about the bike, financing, etc. He is a valuable asset to the Bloodworth Team. Moving forward I know I can count on him to help in anyway possible. Thanks to him and the dealership for a Great experience.

Some of you reviewers on here apparently have some serious issues of your own! I can’t say anything but good things about Bloodworth Motor Sports. I have been doing business with them since 1997 when I purchased my first motorcycle. Unlike a local Honda dealer who said to me «it’s just like riding a bicycle» which is completely not true, David Bloodworth took the time to help me select the ride motorcycle for my riding ability at the time and it didn’t stop there! He also helped me get my license and signed up for the next MSF course. They cared about my well being more than making a sale and I have never forgotten that.
For that reason and several others, I have now purchased no less than 9 motorcycles/​scooters (combined) from Bloodworth Motor Sports over the years. In fact, they are the only bike shop in town I would trust my business with!
Thanks David and Virginia for maintaining a high level of customer support and bringing the best the motorcycle world has to offer to Music City!

I came in to ask prices and the earliest I could get my Honda in for a service, no one helped me, they peaked their heads out and gave me annoyed glances, that’s about it. I went into the showroom and asked to speak to someone in the service department, a guy came huffing in, and seemed like he was too busy to answer my questions. avoid this place till they get an attitude adjustment.

Taking a star away after my experience here today. I went in on a TUESDAY @ 2PM! And the parts guy was just too busy to help the only person in the shop.
I said, «do you have any waterproofing stuff for my BMW suit?»
«I’m not sure, but if we do its on the bottom of „that“ silver shelf.»
I don’t know if you’ve been here, but every shelf is silver, jerk wad.
So after I searched myself, found it, it’s expired by 3 years. I bring it up to him to let him know. He says, «as long as no one’s eating it, I don’t see a problem.» I just walked away.
After perusing some ducatis, I go past «the» silver shelf only to see the expired product was put back for sale. HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR SHOP! And don’t try to convince someone that they should buy your out of date by three year chemicals to put on their $ 1200 riding gear.
I went to REI. Thanks REI.

First of all, it bothers me that they put their shop bikes in handicapped parking.
Shame on you guys, I will be reporting that.
Second, they charge the same price to change a tire on or off the bike.
If you bring just the wheel in, it should be a lot less money.
I won’t be doing business there because of that.

I hate to admit it b/​c I wanted to be pleased with this dealership. I’d read the reviews already but decided to «try» to do business with them. Their used inventory didn’t fit my needs (little to no selection) and I purchased from another dealer out of the Nashville area.
2 months later I wanted info on a GPS installation and was met with an extremely rude sales person — the only guy that sells for them I guess. So rude that when I need service or parts, I’ll ride the 200 miles to have that dealer service my bike. He made very curt and rude remarks that I should have been shown this info by the dealer I purchased the bike from in the first place. (wiring harnesses for a GPS unit). I replied and told him that I wasn’t interested nor did I ask my original dealer about a wiring harnesses upon purchase. He replied «Well.a GOOD dealer would have shown you anyway.», which makes no sense. He then walked off the floor. He lost a sale of a GPS, and a few other items (riding pants, etc.).
After today I can honestly say, I will never go to this dealership again. I’m amazed at the short sidedness of how he handled a potential, now lost, customer.

Took my Vespa in here to get a new tire and an oil change on a Wednesday and the owner told me to come back next Tuesday… he hadn’t even started on it by then. I said I’d take it somewhere else and he said it would take him 30 minutes to get it out of his garage because it was behind a bunch of bikes. Not even an apology. Pretty clear he didn’t have any intention of starting on it any time soon.
When I told him he said to come back on Tuesday to get it he said «I would never say that.» In fact, when I dropped it off I asked if I could get it the next Monday and he said, «well we’re closed on mondays but Tuesday will work.» My guess is they value their sport bike customers a lot more than their scooter riding counterparts, but I’m never coming back so I guess it doesn’t really matter.

Took my Monster here for service a few weeks ago. They did the job. Did it in a reasonable time and for a reasonable price.
Service guys were friendly. They sell BMW’s, Ducatis, and Vespas. Sell gear and accessories as well.
I sat on the new Ducati Monster 696, smiled and then got off. They have about 15 bikes on the floor for display.
