Bought a new 50 last year and want to get 650 mile service done. Purchased from a newer outlet and it's far away. Interested in others experience and options.

Hate to tell you, but if you want authorized service, you're gonna have to take it to AF1 racing in Austin.

Alternatively, there is an Aprillia - Ducati dealer that might be able to take care of you on Highway 59 around beechnut.

It's a shame that Houston is the 4th largest city in America and we can't keep a Vespa dealership.

Fact. I miss the days of the Vespa dealership inside the Ferrari dealership over off highway 59.

Try Wild West Motoplex out in Katy. They sell Vespa and are one of the better places to get a moto fixed in the area.

Yeah, it was fun to go in and ogle the cars but the Vespa guys were worthless when it came to service.
They quickly diagnosed my electrical problem as being caused by the wrong color 2 stroke oil. Facepalm emoticon
Needless to say the oil change did nothing to repair the issue.

Ouch.

I guess it depended on the era you went there. They had some good certified piaggio mechanics through the years. At the end it was just Chris(?) and he was a great guy if not a great mechanic.
