Dealer Problems?

When I bought my 07 Thruxton last May my sales person did not know ANYTHING about the "Truck-ston" so I had to tell him how to sell me the bike. Even after I told him the bike was called a "Thruxton" is was still a "Truck-ston" to him. He also informed me it was liquid cooled! "See, here is the radiator" as he pointed to the oil cooler. Oil is a liquid I guess. On my test ride when I returned and the pipes had blued and he tried to wipe off the bluing on the hot pipe with a synthetic rag which melted to my pipe. Great. After my purchase my headlight bulb kept burning out and my fork seal blew and I had them repaired under warranty, no problem. But when I got my bike back there was grease all over my fork leg and rim I had to wipe off before I left and later on I discovered that my headlight assembly was never re assembled properly. Now that my high beam blue light is no longer working I'm not sure if I trust my dealer to fix it under warranty.
