Bio
Dan Egloff-Barr
I have been a client of Steve for five years, commencing in early 2010 and up until he sold his business in January 2015. I have found Steve to be highly knowledgeable about his product, dedicated to providing excellent customer service and passionate about his business and community interests. In all of my business dealings with him, Steve went above and beyond in his customer service and demonstrated he had the client focus and the communication skills necessary to make his clients feel comfortable doing business with him. I witnessed his ability to forge a strong connection with his clients, foster customer loyalty, and deal effectively with difficult people. He is committed to leaving his client satisfied with the service they received. Steve was always well organised and I remain very impressed with the way that he approached his dealings with me. He is generous with his time, possessive of immense motorcycle industry knowledge, has a demonstrated commitment to road safety and a great attention to detail. With his skills, abilities and client focus, Steve will make a great contribution to any business or organisation he is connected with. He is not only very thorough, but is always willing to go the extra mile to discuss any concerns his clients have and ensure customer satisfaction. I feel very confident in recommending Steve.
