John is the kind of mechanic I want wrenching on my scoots for sure. He's a guy who takes pride and knows his stuff. Thanks for the awesome vid.
Thank you. Yea, John is a great HD mechanic. He knows his stuff.
I was totally thinking that, this guy takes pride in his work. Matt, give this guy a raise lol
Hey Guys, so I wanted to clarify a time lime discrepancy that a lot of people (with good reason) have been questioning. There is a part where I was talking to John about letting the bike run and he comments about getting the oil hot and bringing it up to operating temperature. This was BEFORE HE DRAINED THE FLUIDS. NOT AFTER, LIKE THE TIME LINE IN THE VIDEO WOULD SUGGEST.
Okay I just posted a question how he did that with no oil. Maybe you could re-edit video in case some stupid people try heating up engine to take off filter with no oil like it looks like John is doing.
@@jimmybe64 I thought the same thing as I watched this, good post Dave and great service John and Great video Matt. Keep em coming!
Someone on here under @officialmattlaidlaw says I won a bike and it’s a highlighted message. Is this. Real?
I like seeing videos like this. Just a good example of what an honest service should be. My local HD guys have always been good to me.
John seems like a genuine dude, from here on out I'll only allow techs with level 3 beards or better to service my bike. Enjoyed the video for sure!
Think he spends more or less time on his beard than his wife does on her hair?
Matt, John is a class act and what an awesome master service tech, his attitude and how he conducts himself you can see that he truly loves what he does and does it well. He is the type of tech I would want to touch and work on my bike. If you could do a video on removing the rear wheels on a touring bike and how to make sure the belt tension is would be awesome too.. Love you videos you do an awesome job!! if I lived out there you guys would be my bike shop for all my Harley needs!!! thanks for sharing I'm hooked. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you! Yea, he’s a good tech. If I have the opportunity to make the rear wheel video I will!
Yes Layla I think everybody would like to see a whole bunch of maintenance tips from your mechanics like I said thanks a lot
Great job John. Nice to see you can show us your job and what is involved in this. More than I personally thought on my part. Thanks again John. And to you too Matt.
❤
Great to watch a tech who’s right on top of his job, makes it all look so easy
I would definitely want hi. Wrenching on my bike very thorough. I just hope he really is that thorough and not just when they are filming a UA-cam video. He is so smooth at checking everything out. You can tell he knows his way a Harley. Awesome job!
Yes to the garage videos, all the things you mentioned are interesting and provide tips for those working on bikes. Thanks.
Very much appreciated the garage video Matt. It’s always good to see what goes on behind the scenes. Great professional video as always with right dose of humor!
I really like these type of videos, love the professionalism, great to see what goes on back in the garage. Thank you Keep them coming, the more detailed the better and enjoyable.
Perfect, thank you for the feedback
I've got a great mechanic like John and will wait to get on his schedule if I have to. It was really good to see the brake flush. Thanks Matt & John!
This was a great video & John is very thorough and explains the process well. Would love more Service Dept. videos.
My Lowrider is coming up on its first thousand mile service, watching this video makes me wish I lived closer to Laidlaw Harley Davidson, I just hope the techs at my local Harley shop will be half as thorough as John, he totally rules 🤘🏻
I was thinking the same thing actually. I wish I lived closer to Laidlaw HD for more reasons than 1.
Great job John and Matt!! This is exactly why I ride from La Quinta to Laidlaw's HD for service!!
Thanks for the vid Matt, always great to have that behind the garage door insight.
Great work being done at Laidlaw. Just imagine that break in oil condition after 4 friggin years. WOW. Keep up the great work John.
Details, thorough, and honesty, is a beautiful thing. Thank You John & Matt. When I’m in the area, I’ll definitely make a stop and ask for John. Wish there’s is someone just 3/4 skills, experience, honest like John in my area (Sacramento, Ca). 💯❤🤜🤛
Great inside look- really neat to see all they goes into the expense… love this kind of thing. Whole new appreciation of their work! More of this type of content.

Level 3 beard my as*. That’s easily a best in show, professionals need only apply, blue ribbon. . . Damn, it’s the end of the day and it’s perfect!
Thank you for having a great attitude, not stripping or destroying any fasteners, and keeping cool under the Hollywood bright lights from that other guy!! Haha!
Love to see the garage videos. I want to see what goes on when I take my bike for service.
Awesome video! Love to see how the pros do it and their tips and cautions for the DYI’s
Good stuff Matt and John! Always glad to see service vids as well.
I was there Wednesday picking up a set of spark plugs, ordered new spark plug wires and an extended shifter shaft, and said hi to Andrew. 👍
Right on. Thanks for stopping by. We appreciate the business
Another great video, thank you Matt. I live in the Midwest. I wish my local dealer(s) would post UA-cam videos like you do. After watching so many of your videos, I feel like I know you and your staff. I would LOVE to have John Terradot work on my bike because you see the attention he pays to the details. Of course I assume my local dealers give us that attention, but to be honest, I wish I could spend my money with you because I know you through this channel! Does that make sense? I appreciate all of your content from the garage, to your reviews & updates to your trips. Keep it coming.
Matt, love your videos, would love to see one with new bars put on that would require longer cables. I did my own 14" bars, and I ended up ordering a longer clutch cable, I'm having my local dealership install it next week. Also, it was great to come down and chat with you again, I was down there and talked with you in your office back on Saturday June 4th (I was on the rental RoadGlide; I flew down from Seattle to San Francisco). Keep up the good work, keep making these amazing videos!
Thanks for coming down. It was good to meet you. I think I've had enough people request a bar installation so I think I'm going to do that video. Thanks for the comment
Good to see transparency at the dealership in the Service Dept! Keep up the informative videos!!

Absolute professional at work. I know how much of a bug it is when people are looking over your shoulder when you work. Respect to you John and Laidlaw's from an old mechanic in England. UK. 😎🇬🇧👍
Excellent video! Very thorough and informative! 👍🏻👍🏻for John. More shop videos please!
Yes, more of these. The washing video was excellent. I actually have that saved so I can watch it multiple times. Good music as well! It puts that LA metal/thrash scene into this video.
Thank you! Music is always a tough one to please everyone

Right on. Thanks for watchinf
This video was great, keep em coming. I hope all the Techs are that thorough since I've had a couple of my bikes serviced there.

Hey Mat, Ashley here from Australia. Loved the service vlog keep it up... You're a legend and we all love how you've looked after our country man Danny MDB... You're the mr nice guy of the Harley world love ya work Sir
Wow! Yeah definitely more of these videos! Extremely insightful Matt, thank you!... IDK if I trust my particular dealership now after watching this, I hate myself for not originally buying from Laidlaw's dealership... 🙃😩
This was a great video. It was an informational and interesting watch. I liked it. The questions my brother and I always have were answered in this video
I have to bring mine into my local dealership on Monday for the 1000 mile and I hope he's as good as John. I think you can bet that we like all your videos.
Great vid Matt, John is a very good and thorough tech, he can’t be all bad he’s sporting a fantastic looking beard.
Love the service video! Do more! Want to see a 10k my HD service department said it’s a very important one.
I really like these videos Matt!!! Would love to see a 5K service video as mine will be in the spring of 2023. Thanks man!!!
For a moment I thought I was watching another blockhead Moto video until I heard a different number of years as a master technician.
Jokes aside, it's good to see another content creator posting videos like this out there for comparison and education
The signs of an Ace mechanic he makes it look so easy Thank you for the video take care

Great video, Matt. I would feel 100% comfortable leaving my bike in John’s care. The more shop videos the better. Thanks for sharing this. Wish you were closer.

I’m sure he checked it, but I didn’t see him check belt deflection. Other than that, my hope is this kind of attention to detail service is performed at all H-D dealers. I love this stuff and I hope you do more videos in the service department! Thanks, Matt. 👍🏻
There were a couple things that just didn't make the video. Belt tension was one of those also spark plugs check etc
Great job! My nearest dealer is 40 miles away and definitely not the same caliber of professionalism.
Love all shop videos. Especially a 100K service on a TC.
Always like the service and mod videos. Get to see what all the techs actually do during a service or install of a part.

love these tech type of videos Matt! Thanks John for putting up with Matt and the Camera hahahaha
Haha. Yea, he doesn’t get paid to talk, just for work.
Very cool video. I just read a discussion on local Finnish motorcycle forum about necessity for brake fluid change, since that is not so regularly done in car servicing, so it was good to see why it needs to be done. Also, Nick could continue making those great riding gear videos in the future?

i think your service appointments just filled up for the year. that bike has more fasteners than an 18 wheeler. johns a rock star.
Love these behind the scenes videos!
Thanks for the video. I especially like the clutch adjustment. Keep showing more videos please.
@OfficialMattLaidlaw Thanks. is it a road glide st? Please let it be a road glide st. if you're a joking. I"ll laugh.
Thanks Laidlaw I learned a lot from this segment on UA-cam I'm getting ready to change my oil and do maintenance on my 2018 Street Bob it's only got 600 mi on it I went to change the oil last year but I hurt my knee and I couldn't do anything until after I healed up now I'm healed up so I'm going to start working on my bike I'm glad I watched this I learned a lot
Great job John!! I never feel comfortable letting the dealer work on my bike I feel that they sometimes are not honest!!!
Most aren't, got to make money somewhere.
Very Informative! I wish my dealer explained my 1k service to me and provided a checklist to show what was found and done.
I’d pray that my dealership was that thorough and meticulous in servicing my bike but I doubt it. I’ll bet less than 50% actually come close to being so detailed. If I was in California I’d buy and service all my bikes at Laidlaws.
Really thorough Service, Ive seen Harley mechanics skip over the critical fastener parts. Great video
Yes, love these videos! Would definitely view more. Thanks Matt.

Great video Matt I really enjoyed watching the bearded genius working his magic
Awesome video John (and Matt)! Thorough. 🇺🇸
I wish I had the Confidence that my local Harley Dealer did all the same proper procedures. I bought my bike with 9,900 mi. and was told it had the 10,000 mi. service just done. It came with the checked out Warranty. You guys always seem so Trustworthy.
Matt, I want to see more videos like this. I need to do a 1k service on mine. I would like to see an Ultra limited getting some love. Enjoy all your video. Nice crew there.
Great video, loved the content and the reminder to go check the critical fasteners...yes, do a 5K and higher service video.
John is the best service tech i have seen at a Harley dealership...
Bad ass video and bad ass tech! Wish we had him down here in south Florida! My tech sux!!! Four times in for shorted wires when all along it was a coolant leak on my 22 RG, now all the wiring is corroded cuz they missed the small leak 😩
All I can say is John is Awesome. I wish he was my Mechanic in Pennsylvania!
Last year August I had my first 1k service, it was an easy in and out for the service, but I had other issues that caused my delay in getting back the bike.
Great look at the real background of what it takes to properly maintain a HD. Thanks. PS 3 beard level rocks.

Love the garage videos.Thank you Matt for sharing.
Thanks for weighing in
That's a level 100 beard man.
Good stuff. Show me more. I like the test ride and travel videos the best. But this is really informative.
Thank You! Great video,mechanic and service.👍
How many technicians actually take this much care when performing a service on a stranger's bike? It's nice to see what actually goes in to a first service (not to mention a full service!!). Fantastic video!
Thank you. John does things by the book. People pay good money to have things down right.
Great job, very informative. Please do a video highlighting a 5K service and beyond. Thank you!
DEF WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT
Excellent video Matt and John. Terradot is an amazing HD mechanic. We need to clone this guy. Cheers!
I wish I had John in Sacramento. I have not had the best of luck at my local HD dealer. Im a little nervous to take my 2022 Low Rider ST for its 1k service. Its hard to know who you can trust with the safety of your bike. Great Video.
Good info! Too many people think that they are overpaying for just an oil change, It's so much more...
Yes sir.
Excellent show. More!
Thanks Matt & John good video. I just ordered a brake moisture meter, I didn't know they existed before. Would be good to see how to check and adjust the drive belt on an M8
Gadday from Aus
Really enjoyed watching a pro do this service. I do all of this in my garage, but I take MUCH longer to do it haha. Would like seeing a bar swap on a Road Glide or any bagger, and if you guys work on older bikes, a tire swap and wheel bearing change on an EVO Softail.
GREAT Information!!!
Thank you, Matt
I am due for my 5k on my Heritage... Yes and ABS and Cruise control...
Would love to see that covered...
I was thinking of even asking my dealership if I could record my bikes service so I could post it on my channel...
Time will tell...
Great job on the service buddy. Hopefully some do it yourselfers learned a few things.. it’s a lot more than changing oil.
Impressive service Matt. Just had my SB 1K service in the UK. I wonder if they serviced it with the detail and effort that John did?
Sweet the Bearded John treats that Bobber like it was was his personal bike. I am impressed.
Awesome job John 👏 👍
Great video. Thank you John and Matt.
I love these videos they are so informative
Great job, John!
Excellent as always. 👍👍 Thank you.
Safe rides👍🤜
Great video Matt as always. A nice twist from the usual style. Watching all your videos, and in my opinion the mix of riding and practical videos is spot on. Keep up the good work from 🇬🇧
Thank you for the feedback. We will keep them coming
A bar swap video would be fantastic, especially one that allows confirmation of the correct handlebar length and style prior to fully completing the installation, whether that's part of the swap process or some other way.
Do more garage videos. I really enjoyed this video. Would like to see a bar change on electra glide
Yes, more garage videos please!
Awesome tech 👏,
Does every tech at every dealership do this exact job on a Harley Davidson? Hy Matt continue with these videos. A handle bar upgrade.
Like The garage video's. Just had my 1K service on my 2021 Ultra Limited I wish I was as confident my dealership did me like John did his customer...
Hello, fan!
Thanks for reaching out congratulation 🎁🎊🎉You Won a Prize Cheerful send a message above to acknowledge your prize🎁
Love these garage videos 👍
Love it Fantastic and very detailed all different bikes great!!
Jesus... 1000 miles on a 4 year old bike ? Does the owner have any old muscle cars ?
All your videos are awesome
It would be great to have a good understanding of a 5, 10, and 20k service as well. Great content!
Great video Matt!! It’s reassuring to know taking your Harley into a dealership like this is worth every penny.
