    Al's is the best! Usually I'd come by just to get a quick window adjustment, but when my Honda 250 elite suddenly went out I was at lost. These guys gave me the absolute best service for fixing up my vintage Honda and I'm coming back to get my seat releathered soon!!! Feel safe at AL's

    Al's Cycle Shop!

    OMG! Al's is THE BEST mechanics shop I've been too!!! Not only did he fix my baby he added extra service components as part of the service!!! I usually work on my scooter myself but I was stumped and Al with his gifted and dedicated crew really did me more than just a solid. Sure it took a little longer than a day or two but man oh man was it worth the wait!!! I knew it would take a bit when I saw how many other jobs he had. I let him know up front that I understood and assured him I'd rather they take the time they need. My scooter was literally falling apart piece by piece and even though the manmanufacturer (a month and a half later and still waiting) assured me they are sending my parts (muffler, bracket to hold the muffler, and an air filter) Al's shop made sure I was safe to get back on the road!!! Thank you Al and to your team let's not forget the shop cats Calico and Felix a very special thank you for all your hard work and care into getting me back safely on the road. I totally felt I got more than what I paid for!!! The price was more than fair. Al's Cycle Shop is the BEST!!!

    Guess this guy just REALLY wanted to overhaul a carburetor instead of fixing one out of three things...

    900$ for a motorcycle in exactly the condition I left it in three weeks before. But at least they did a bunch of work I neither needed, asked for, nor authorized. Get on YouTube and fix it yourself or, if you're busy like I am, go literally anywhere else. Ship your motorcycle to Texas or something. Maybe I got the tech they should fire? The world will never know. F$}¢ Al's Cycle Shop. You deserve better. I'm amazed that this place is operating. There's electrical tape around the blinker, at least... FFS. Pena Racing... Go there. Dropping mine off there tomorrow.

    Two ski masks with flash light at a gas station trying to steal my bike

    THEY WILL SCAM! 1. They will put cheap parts 2. They will get your bike stolen 3. They never actually fix the bike I've gave this shop multiple chances. My bike almost got STOLEN and they never follow up with their words for refunds. I went to go get my battery changed, they told me I'm gonna need a new stator so I agreed and pay them extra couple hundred bucks for installments plus the parts. Long story short they put a used faulty cheap ones resulting in more cost to repair for my bike. Instead of going to a new shop I gave them 4 more chances. Each one of them I failed to make it home from the ride back to the shop. First 2 times I had to pay them extra to tow my bike back even though it was their fault. Last 2 times they promised to pick it up but never did resulting in my bike sitting at a public parking for almost a week. Once they finally picked it up, you guessed it. My bike never made it home. It shut down so I pushed the bike to the gas station and called them to pick it up. They told me to wait an hour so I did at the gas station. They never picked it up. So I called them again and they reassured me if I leave my bike there, they will pick it up by tonight. Which they never did. At 1 in the morning I went to check if my bike has been picked up from the gas station. And there was this 2 guys in a ski mask with a flashlight looking at my bike. I was furious, I called them the next morning and complained that my bike almost got stolen and that I had to push it back all the way home. They apologized and said they'll pick it up today which was a week ago. Since then I just took my bike to a different shop and told me they put a cheap stator and now my regulator plus the battery I bought for $130 is broken because of that. I wasn't going to write this review because after my bike has been to a different shop I asked them for a money back. Told them everything they did and how it was not okay. And yup they said they'll let me know about the refund in 2 days. That was a week ago....

    These guys are great at what they do! Incredibly reliable, and respond very quickly. They know what they're doing and do a great job of making sure I got my motorcycle (Honda Shadow 750) back in perfect running condition. Will definitely keep coming back if I need anything motorcycle repair related, but with the work they do, I probably won't need to be back anytime soon!

    My bikes open for anything to fall into bottom end and heads through headers he showed no concern no care taken

    1628.67 is what he wanted for a clutch job. Charged me 71.89 for a piece that he was going to recycle, it was my part. The guy Al owner of the shop tried to take advantage of me not knowing tried to talk in a way I would not understand then got upset once I asked for itemized statements tried to charge me $300 for bolt extraction that he broke then threatened me when I tried to get him to slow down and explain. He's really old and I knew I'd get elderly abuse for hitting him so I laughed plus I knew shop owner more then likely owns guns for this matter and I had to be safe so got my bike out of there same day for another shop. Be safe here guys.

    Two months after Al admits to the damage, agrees to fix it, he flips blames me for having a vintage bike
    Brandileigha S.

    My experience with Al's cycle shop has been a nightmare. My bike had sat for a few months without being ridden, and needed a carb/valve flush. Al's came and picked up my bike in December. I paid about 400 for the work and 200 for towing to and from my home. When my scooter came back, I was shocked at the damage. It had about 15-20 scratches, The floorboard was out of joint and the molding by the floor board was ripped up. See photos of the damage. I texted Al, he apologized and said that can happen when bikes are moved around the shop and had the tow guy come and pick it up again. The very next day Al told me the scooter was ready to be delivered again. I found that hard to believe because the damage was pretty extensive. I asked for a video. About 10 minutes later the tow guy sent me The most ridiculous video of the side of the bike with the least amount of damage. Completely avoiding the area with the ripped molding and scratches. I told Al I had a hard time believing it was fixed already, and he said he would take a look at it himself. The tow driver brought the bike back, nothing has been fixed and when I pointed out to him all of the scratches the tow driver says "Wow that's a lot of damage! Honestly I don't know what they can do about it." What? The tow driver took the bike back to the shop. Al messaged me two days later saying he needed to find a replacement molding and that because it was an older bike, it would take some time. That was on January 21. Fast forward to March. At this point I had done some research and decided I could just try to put automotive trim on my bike myself. At the rate things were going, I would never get my bike back if I waited for them to find a replacement molding. I asked Al to just fix the scratches and bring my bike back to me. On March 11 he told me "all of the issues had already been dealt with and that they were minor". The scratches, as you can see in the photos are very deep. There seem to be a major disconnect between the actual condition of my scooter and what Al was saying, so I asked for photos. He said he couldn't send me any because the bike was in storage. I asked if he had looked at the photos I sent him, and he said he "didn't have time" to look at all of them. I asked him point blank if knew for certain that the scratches were actually fixed, and that's when he started to backpedal. He said things like "Do you really expect a 20 year old bike not to have damage?" And "We're not going to spend thousands of dollars painting your bike." That's when he essentially told me that damage is what happens when you send your bike to a shop, and I'm lucky that he even tried to look for a molding because most shops wouldn't do it. Just unbelievable. There's a bit more back-and-forth, the whole time they were just very rude and acted like I was bothering them. Throughout the entirety of our communication from January to March, Al went from saying he would fix all the damage caused by his shop, to flat out saying he wouldn't, to being vague about "doing what they can" to rectify the situation. Tuesday, March 16 he told me the bike would be put on a lift and should be delivered by the end of the day. The next day, Wednesday, the 17th I texted him asking that he reach out to me to coordinate when the tow truck would be there so I would be home. Saturday the 20th I reached out again asking for an update. He sent me a photo, and none of the damage had been fixed. I pointed that out and he responded "still working on it " On Tuesday the 23rd the tow man calls me at 11:30 in the morning and tells me he's coming to drop off the scooter. I respond that I'm not home, and there is no place to drop it off. He responds that he hast to drop it off now because he doesn't have time to come back. I text Al and say but I'm not home and he can't drop off the scooter, and then I had asked them to contact me to coordinate. His response is that I should've answered my phone. I called him trying to reason with him and he hangs up one me. I drop everything and go home. The tow man left my scooter in an alley and threw the key over the fence. None of the scratches were fixed. None of the damage repaired. I'm now getting an estimate to fix the paint on my scooter. I spent almost $600 at Al's Cycle Shop including towing and I'm probably walking away with over $1000 in damage. Shady isn't even the right word for the shop. Am I opinion they are criminals. What kind of body shop damages your vehicle, admits to it, and refuses to fix it? Everything they've said to me has been a lie, a twisting of the truth, or a blatant attempt to blame me, their victim. If Al's shop does respond to this review, I encourage you to look at my photos and screenshots. They speak for themselves. Trusting my scooter to the shop was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. Please save yourself the grief and go elsewhere.

From the moment I walked in until the second I got my bike work done, they communicated with me, kept me posted, and helped me choose the right modifications for my needs. This isn't your typical corner sport bike shop that charges you little for subpar work. If you want premium work done on your ride, you need to pay premium for it, and that's exactly what Motorsport Exotica is about. Tanner was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions and working with my schedule. I felt so welcomed and the shop is absolutely amazing. The beautiful rides and awesome vibe make it a great place to be. I also got to meet all the employees who do the actual work, and I was stunned by their originality and talent. The employees in the back working on the bikes were truly exceptional. I highly recommend Motorsport Exotica for all your sport bike needs. Oh, and I almost forgot: if you call and they don't answer, they'll call you right back. Who does that these days?

    1 Star - Disappointed - Poor Workmanship & Questionable Practices…read more I brought my Aprilia RSV4 to this shop for a valve adjustment, and the experience was extremely disappointing. After nearly a week, I picked up the bike and immediately noticed it didn't sound right--rough and unhealthy. I raised my concerns, but the tech insisted it was normal and said everything was fine. It wasn't. Shortly after, I discovered the bike was nearly 3/4 of a quart low on oil--something that should never happen after a major service. When I brought it back, they acknowledged the oil level but chose not to recheck the valve adjustment, which was the main reason for the visit. After getting nowhere with them, I contacted other shops for a second opinion. Every one of them agreed the bike didn't sound right. I ended up checking the valves again--they were out of spec. That should never happen after a valve adjustment. Additional issues included: * Clutch cover gasket was not replaced, despite being charged for it. * My race air filter was removed, replaced with a lower-quality aftermarket filter, and I was still charged $87 to "clean" the original--which was never returned. * Crankcase bolt cover was left loose and leaking oil. * I provided oil and a filter, yet they still charged labor for an oil change that should've been included in the valve service. * Tank bolts were stripped. * There were inconsistencies between what was said on the phone and what was done in the shop. This experience showed a clear lack of attention to detail and care, and in some cases, what felt like dishonest practices. I would not trust this shop again and would not recommend it to others. Stay away.

But he ask if I lived somewhere else, with a smile pointing at my bikes my house I say no THIS IS MY HOUSE. He gave a fake handshake you know when they barely touch your hand no firm grip had me help him load my bike into the back of this tiny truck has me put a signature initials date on a pick up receipt, I try to give him heads up on the problems because the person on the phone as many times we spoke always asked again what was the issues, I even texted her but they still needed me to tell them. Last time we spoke seconds later comes an estimate then jumps on the phone the owner trying to school me on how to warm the bike before riding I play the fool ask some silly questions about tire warmers all stuff I already know and nothing that was troubling my bike, once he is done with the convo no thanks we'll keep you posted no thanks bye; he just sounded annoyed and hung up. I then text them back showing yes I watch professional racing but none of the things you spoke of takes place on the track, you might see the tire warmers on a secondary bike in the case the primary is downed but no long boring scenes of the racers techs warming the engines, some even say no longer carburetor so no need to warm up. They do not text phone call or even email with updates in what's taking so long or estimated time when it will be done, in fact it is easier FASTER to show up to any dealership ask who to have the bank make out the cashiers check to return with the check and drive home. 2026 Aprilia RSV4 Factory already in American dealerships. So would I recommend illiterate phone personnel, think they are the most schooled in racing machines tech/owner no I do not, unless you have issues with the dealership you bought from Go back always, may even be cheaper warranties equal free repair which means all the extras is all you pay for. So after it's done if ever I will take it back to the dealership for a thorough inspection with their paperwork so they know exactly what to look at. Danke und Ciao
