I just moeved to Clearwater from NY. I needed help getting my Road king out of my van. Made a call to your service dept and i was told to bring it on down. When i showed up i only waited about a minute and i was helped as if i just purchased the bike from you. They say first impressions are long lasting. Well i was very impressed in the way i was treated. Thanks and i will be back.

Coming from Spring Hill I pass a number of dealerships but I work not too far away form Jim's. Of all the Harley Dealerships I have stopped at along the way Jim's is by far the friendliest dealership I have had he pleasure of visiting. Each department I have passed through I am always greeted by someone willing to assist if there was anything I needed or any questions I wanted answered.

Because of this atmosphere when I found the Road King I was looking for, I ended up purchasing the bike from Josephine who had to of been one of the most pleasant sales folks I had ever done business with! I was so impressed with the courtesy and respect the dealership demonstrated to me as a customer I became an M.V.P. member. (Why would I shop some where else?)

Josephine was so helpful the first time around, it was only suitable when I was looking to give up the sportbike for "The 48" I closed the deal with Josephine, and again it was a consistent performance and a pleasure.

Jim's isn't just a dealership, it's a family! You tell me when the last time was you met the owner of an establishment while on the floor? Everyone is very accessible and this is why I choose Jim's. Now I do wish they were closer; but what better way to spend 120 miles on the bike!

Keep up the great work!

hey ! just got back from a great road trip down the coast and I must compliment the wonderful job service did on my ultra classic ! fred, tree and all the guys in service did a great job getting the bike set up for the trip. the screaming eagle super tuner, the rinehart racing exaust system and the dyno tune done by jrk and tree made my hog run great ! I have had the bike in for several services and tree has always been patient with my questions and had great ideas to make our dresser stand out and safe.the time spent on the dyno unleashed all the power and smoothness we needed. I highily recommend this service to all my rider friends.again thankyou for a great service department and a great dealership ! warren and dawn brown

I shopped a lot of the local dealerships and other brands but came back to Jim's Harley Davidson because, of all the places I went, they gave me the best experience. They seem to really "get it" that success is based on relationships. Everyone in all areas, clothing, accessories, parts, and sales, was helpful in guiding me to what is right for me and for my riding to be safe and fun for years to come.

I have to say of all the Harley Dealerships I have stopped at on my motorcycle trips Jim's is by far the friendliest dealership I have had he pleasure of visiting. Each department we browsed through we were greeted by different employees. I ended up purchasing the Road Zeppelin seat for my Road Glide, they even shipped my old seat back home for me...no charge. Even before I bought it the parts person installed the seat on a Road Glide Custom so I could see if I liked it before purchasing it. I even became a M.V.P. member. I really enjoyed chatting with the parts person about the rides the dealership sponsors. Cant wait to stop by and chat with the friendly folks at Jim's Harley on my next trip to Tampa.

We are from Canada, I connected with Jim's over 3 years ago, joined the MVP club at the advice of the rental staff at Jim's and we have never looked back. . Even though I don't live in Florida. My wife and I travel and vacation each spring for a month in Treasure Island. We love to ride and each spring with the help of Jim's and the great staff we rent a Harley or should I say several rentals usually different models and share our first ride of the season with the Management and Staff at Jim's whom we must say are 1st rate. We subscribe to the their newsletter. We can't believe the amount of events they sponsor and promote. We just wish we were able to be here year round to enjoy and take part in more events. The staff and Management at Jim's Harley-Davidson is and always have been first rate in our experience, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. My wife and I look forward to the day when we can spend more time in Florida and extend our one month vacation too hopefully 3-4 months and enjoy the extending riding season and rest assured Jim's will play a big part in our adventures. Again Thank you to all the staff and Management at Jims Harley-Davidson We miss you and look forward to our next spring vacation and our visit to Jim's ! Cheers and Safe riding Keith & Karen Richard Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Canada

I recently bought a large quantity of parts for my 09 Fat Bob. I've been dealing with Ken in the Parts department. The entire experience can be summed up in one word : Fantastic. Ken took care of everything from other parts needed to cancellations to finding parts last minute. It truly has been a fantastic experience. Thanks for all the help.

I drove over from the east side of Tampa for service on my bike, based on the recommendation of a friend. I ended up buying a 2011 Ultra Limited from Josephine, on the phone, without ever seeing the bike or meeting Josephine(until later). I really am impressed with the pricing (parts and service), the good selection of motorclothes and accessories, and most of all, the customer oriented service! It shows! I am now a Jim's customer...woohoo!

JIM'S HARLEY DAVIDSON IS THE NO. ONE DEALERSHIP, I BELIEVE AFTER VISITING THREE OTHER DEALERSHIPS IN THE GREATER TAMPA BAY AREA (THE OTHERS WERE GOOD, BUT JIM'S STOOD OUT). I HAD EXPERIENCES WITH AARON HUSTON, SALES EXEC FOR THE MOTORCYCLES AND CONNIE WHO ALSO PROVIDED ACCESSORIES INFO, TYRONE WHO GAVE EXCELLENT FEEDBACK WHEN I HAD TO SELECT A HELMET. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE TAUGHT ME THAT THIS STORE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS REGARDING CUSTOMER SERVICE, KNOLWLEGABLE SALES STAFF AND MOSTLY THEIR PROFEESIONAL WAY OF DOING THINGS WHILE MAKING ME FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE FROM THE FIRST VISIT TO THE THIRD. I WILL PURCHASE MY BIG TWIN 'ROAD KING CLASSIC' FROM AARON HUSTON AND I WILL CONTINUE TO PATRONIZE THEIR DEALERSHIP FOR PROVIDING SUCH OUTSTANDING SERVICE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS DEALERSHIP ABOVE ALL OTHERS EXEMPLIFIES 'ROLE MODEL BEHAVIOR' IN EVERY DEPARTMENT, ANY TIME AND EVERY TIME. THANKS..

ON 09/14/2010 I called and spoke with Mindy in Motor Cloths trying to find a IVY Skull cap that I had tried on at a dealership somewhere in my travels around the country, she didn't have one in stock, but she was able to give me a part# and the names of the dealers that showed inventory on the item (there were only 4 in the country) I GOT MY HAT :) :), Thank You Mindy.

I have been away from St Petersburg for just over a year and yet to find a dealer/Harley family that even come close to Jim’s. I knew Jim’s was unique but never realized how friendly, relaxed, and friendship-oriented it was until I was away. In western Massachusetts there is Aldo’s and South Hampton Harley. One is old and small and never a hello when you go in, the other is flashy-Vegas like and sales people are all over you! My boyfriend Thom recently purchased his first Harley after a lifetime of riding every other bike under the sun. He is hooked for sure! I tried to explain to him how different my hometown dealer was and he just did not understand until we visited about 2 weeks ago. He was floored to see Jamie just chatting in the service dept and how everyone I saw remember my name after being gone a year. How we just walked in and we were taken care of like family and don’t live there anymore. He loved the atmosphere in the store and service dept – that people acted treated us like friends not customers. I had talked about our HOG group and LOH group and how involved we are and how you both really support and partner with so organizations! I miss Jim’s so very much, I miss LOH and wrapping presents and shopping after hours with MVP. We have no community here. Amazing roads to ride and places to see but no cohesive groups to ride with or volunteer with. St Pete is very lucky to have such a great Harley Home – I miss the personal service, the events to participate in, the great shopping, being able to rent bikes and rider education – I have none of that up here! Sigh… mostly I miss the staff, I rode out to the beach just to see Jess but I got to see her in St Pete by chance! Please let everyone know how much I miss them, that they are the best team I have met! No other dealer feels like home like Jim’s does! Hope to see you soon!

"I was sent to Jim's in St. Pete, Fl. by a co worker of mine, I will have to say that everyone was very professional, and did not pressure me or any other customer there in any way. I have been back for the 500 mile service for my Ultra Classic and again, very professional. God Bless and happy riding..."

"My husband and I visit St. Pete every Sept. I look forward every year to coming in and stocking up on new clothes. My friends are always so jealous when i come home with a new stock of shirts.

"I am compelled to add a comment to this site! I had a 2.5k service done to my 08 Sportster on the 24th of June 09. Not only did the do the service but helped me out to resolve a problem with my hard leather saddle bags! Then they set my suspension to my needs This was done in a very timely fashion. I would like to thank personally the owner and her involvement along with the service mgr. and the staff at the dealership, WELL DONE! Another satisfied customer. JCM- FL. "

"This was my second purchase of a new Harley in less than a year. The purchase of my first bike was a seamless,painless experience. I have to tell you that the second purchase was even easier than the first thanks to Tom and Lance again! I would recommend them and the rest of the staff at Jim's to anyone!"

"Jim's Staff: I credit your Skilled Riders Course for saving my life and the life of my longtime girlfriend. I purchased a 2009 Heritage Softail Classic from Jim's in November 2008 and took the Skilled Riders Course on January 17, 2009. The Course leader was a young African American, I believe his name was Charles and an older gentlemen, Bob. One of the skills we practiced was hitting an obstacle in the road by going straight over it without braking and some throttle just before impact, we used a 2 X 4 for this practice. On March 8th 2009 we were returning from Daytona Bike Week on the Harley and after a great ride through Ocala National Forest we got on I 75 just West of Leesburg, FL. We had not been on I 75 for more than a few minutes when we noticed a truck with an open trailer pulled off on the side of the road in a position to come back on which started to slow everyone, just a bit and bunch the heavy traffic up. We were still moving at 70 mph. In the blink of an eye, the two cars ahead of me swerved violently to their left exposing a full size box springs from a mattress set directly in my path. With a split second decision, I went straight through and over the box springs. The reason we knew it was a box springs is because of the loud noises as parts were breaking as we went over it. Surprisingly, my Heritage stayed very straight and stable. Had I not taken the Skilled Riders Course I may have attempted to brake or swerve, obviously, I followed the correct course of action. An interesting sideline to this story is the fact that when I stopped to inspect my Harley for damage, there was not a scratch other than my Guardian Bell had been ripped away. We had just received the Guardian Bell the week before from a good friend. Our first phone call was to this friend to thank him and to advise him we would appreciate him getting another one for us. We love our Harley, one of the best decisions I have ever made. Please pass this message onto your instructors. Scott Davis"

"The bike you sold me is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!! Thank you so much for ALL the technical answers as well as any questions my wife and I about the bike. We both walked out of Jims feeling like we were treated great!!!! You did a wonderful job! Also, please thank Lance and Tom for helping us too. I must say, it's pretty cool to also have the owner walking around and really concerned about you and what you buy and need. The bike is great and I will be around many times I'm sure dressing it up!!! Thanks again George and the whole staff at Jims!!!!"

"I had a great time with the bike this past weekend. I really enjoyed it. I also wanted to say thank you to Tony, in rentals, for staying late. It was my fault for being late returning the bike. Tony staying after hours really meant a lot to me. I'm going to recommend your dealership to all my friends, family and co-workers. Everybody I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Once again, thank you."

"My husband has owned a Fatboy for quite a few years and has always came to Jim's for service, parts and any other accessories. The entire staff has always give us excellent service each and every time we visit the dealership. Earlier this year, Jim's announced a Ladie's Garage Party to be held in August. With my husband's advice, I agreed to attend just to learn more about motorcycling. Make note, I have never driven any type of motorcyle whatsoever, always been on the back. At the Garage Party, I learned so much about bikes from parts and service to selecting the proper bike. I was beginning to feel the urge. I ended up being the lucky one and actually won the Rider's Edge Course, so I signed up for the all women's class held in October. The weeks leading up to the course, I was excited, scared and very intimidated. Within the first few hours of the course, I knew I wanted to learn more. On the actual riding days, I learned so much and felt like I was an experienced driver. The instructors, John and Charles, were absolutely amazing. I had so much fun and left there with the knowledge of a true motorcycle driver. Days after passing the course, I began to drive my husband's Fatboy. It was like I have been driving for years. Now I am searching for a bike of my own, preferrably a Fatboy so I can join my husband as a driver and not always looking at the back of his head. To make a long story short, Jim's Harley and the Rider's Edge instructors have brought out a desire that I never knew I had or even dreamed of having. I now understand the true feeling of riding in the wind. Jim's entire staff are remarkable people and I enjoy coming into to the dealership even to just say helo."

"I've been riding most of my life and recently decided to purchase a new Harley. After looking at several bikes, I found the one I had to have. I told Mike, the salesman, I would be back the next day with my Husband to buy it. I'm sure he has heard that before but, true to my word, I came back the next day with my husband and bought my 2008, HD 883Low. Since the purchase, Jim's has become our second home. Everyone is always friendly and courteous. We always feel welcome, and we look forward to the weekly events. Now, my husband is looking to buy a Harley for himself. When he does, we will be buying it from Jim's. "
