Do you trust bike dealers?

In general I'm very cautious of dealers until they've earned my trust. I double check servicing when I can (mark filters etc) and always ask for removed parts to be kept for my inspection if it's not a routine change and I'm paying for the replacements, all the good dealers I use are quite happy to do this.
I've been bitten a few times (usually on cars) and if you run a company car the rip off attempts are so blatant sometimes that I'm amazed they can fill in the paperwork for laughing.

Twiggers in Loughborough, Len Manchester in Melton and The Motorcycle Works in Peterborough are currently on my approved list, most of the other nearby establishments don't seem to acknowledge that I exist when I walk in so they don't get my money or work
