Bad news as another Harley-Davidson dealership is closing. New York City Harley-Davidson will be closing its front doors on Saturday, September 28th. The service department will continue to operate working to complete all open service work orders through Saturday, October 5th.
“It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that New York City Harley-Davidson in Long Island City, NY will be closing its doors for good due to current economic conditions and limited real estate options to relocate to,” says owner Paul Veracka. “While it’s never easy to close the doors of a legacy dealership, we are confident that the established dealers in the New York area will continue to deliver a premium customer experience for our customers. In an effort to make this transition as smooth as possible, Empire Harley-Davidson and Nassau County Harley-Davidson have agreed to honor all New York City H-D gift cards and VIP services.”
He adds, “We understand consolidating New York City H-D comes as a surprise and disappointment to many of our loyal customers. As a family operated dealership, we recognize the time it takes to build strong relationships and foster community. While there will no longer be a Harley-Davidson store in Long Island, the remaining local Harley-Davidson dealers in the area will be able to provide the highest quality service to all members of the Harley-Davidson community for many years to come…
“We want to thank all of our loyal customers, community members and our amazing team at New York City H-D for all the support throughout the years. Thank you for the loyalty to our team, dealership and the Harley-Davidson brand. We will always remember the amazing events, great rides and our extended Harley-Davidson family! More details to come shortly.”
