I don't care for whinners much, I'm a local in the County that does appreciate Jim, Einstein of motorcycles, for sure. Jim has been in demand for keeping our bikes on the road for over 50 years, I know were lucky to have him all this time. I make no demands or attempt to know what he knows. I am loyal and respectful of Jims operation and getting inline in the waiting room is no big deal, because I know I will get my bike back smiling and ready for the road. Just like a good doctor in a "MASH unit" he will and can prioritize treatment for a successful outcome. Thanks Jim read more

Short answer Jim knows what he is doing on older ATV's. He is very reasonable in price versus taking your bike/quad to a dealer in Sacramento and getting bent over for a grand, when he does quality work for half the price. To address other reviews about him being grumpy, I agree he can be. When I originally tried to bring a vehicle in for repair he seemed to be a pain in the ass with no time to give me, that said he was extremely busy. He made me an appointment day two months out, and said come back and we will talk. When I returned he was super cool, and took care of couple of additional things for no charge and repaired my quad fast, and for $600 less the PCP Yamaha wanted, were the quad was original purchased. Bottom line it's just him working in a really small shop, but he knows how to work on bikes and quads. He has a customer for as long as he is in business from us. Thanks Jim for getting the kids quad fixed up, I was ready to throw it away before you made it new again. read more

If I could give this guy 0 stars, I would. Jim is very, very rude. If you are a vendor, prepared to get told to F off.

I just had a rear tire put on my Harley Road King. Very pleased with the service. Thank you, I'll be back.

Jim is awesome! Rebuilt my 50 for my boy and worked great. Hard to find great trustworthy people! Jim is great!

I would recommend people disregard the two negative reviews of this business. Jim does great work and he will work on machines that many mechanics don't want to touch. I recently took in a garage find 1979 Honda CM185 and Jim got it running great for me. I doubt you could find a more experienced or knowledgeable mechanic for Japanese bikes and he is honest to a fault. Just don't make the mistake of trying to engage Jim in idle chatter. He is a one man shop and does not like to be distracted by casual conversation.. Tell him what you need, get a price then leave him alone to do the work. You won't be sorry. read more

I've taken my bikes to this guy for years for the occasional tune up or tire replacement. He can be a bit on the abrasive side at times but I believe he is quite sound in his mechanical knowledge and I have always been satisfied with his work. The prices seem fair, maybe a little higher than I would like to pay, but when it comes to my bikes I don't want someone who isn't paying attention working on them. He has several times pointed out things like brake pad wear or a small leak that I hadn't noticed and only repairs things if I authorize it. I was surprised to see the one star reviews and perhaps he has had a down-swing; I haven't taken a bike in to him in over a year, but I've had such good experiences in the past I'm going to keep going to him until I have an issue personally. read more

I've been taking my bikes to Jim at Amador Fine Tune for about 7 years now. So for I've taken a Triumph, Moto Guzzi, 2 Hondas and my Polaris ACE and Jim has been able to help me on each of these vehicles. I trust him enough to provide him a vehicle with the instructions to "just do whatever is necessary and if you see anything that needs doing that I haven't pointed out, please take care of it". There are very few places where I would ever had this kind of confidence. Jim is not the cheapest place to take your vehicle, but I've found him to be very honest and knowledgeable. I readily recommend him to friends. read more

This guy acts like he is inconvenienced. Does not return calls, and is way too expensive. He appears to have a serious personality disorder. It is worth the drive to go to performance cycle off of Missouri flat rd in placerville. Good people and customer service there. Can't stand this guy read more

This guy knows his stuff. He is a little grumpy sometimes but what good mechanic isn't?

Dude is a d-bag!! I have tried to give this guy my business couple times... But every time he is such a dick I leave before I beat him down! He is a local mechanic that deals with Japanese bikes (so I tried to support him) but I would rather talk the Harley guys across the street into wrenching on my bike. Why is this dude so miserable!? He has models wrenching on bikes with him but he's still all shitty? So many people have all said the same thing good luck! It's a trap you will end up punching him!! Lol read more

I have had work done at this shop twice now and both have been positive experiences. This time he ran down and repaired an electrical problem on my Suzuki. Clean shop, efficient service and fair price. read more

Syrupy sweet customer service? Nope. Mechanical knowledge and had the part I needed in stock? Yep. If you want warm brie on a gluten free cracker, you'll need to find a KTM dealer. If you are in the Gold Country foothills and need a TTR50 master link, this is the only game in town. read more

If you want a problem solving motorcycle mechanic he's your man. If you want touchy-feely-well, he's not your man. For you old timers-worked at Spinetti's for years and been in the county for decades. Must be doing something right. read more

This isn't really a motorcycle repair shop, it's 1 guy with a couple tools and no knowledge in some tiny, rented, shared, single garage bay. Well, let's see.....so many things are bad about this place. 1. The mechanic gave me shit about how some previous work was done on my bike?!? 2. The owner quoted me $80 and I was charged $120 for a simple 20 minute job with $35 part. 3. The owner/mechanic lied to me about checking the bike for strange noises. Told me he drove it and heard nothing, but when I picked it up it made the same loud noise and still does, thanks for nothing asshat. If you can't hear the noise then you are deaf, and since I spoke to you, I know you aren't deaf. You shouldn't lie to your customers. 4. It took them 11 days to do the simple job. 5. They tried to sell me on more parts and services and when questioned they couldn't explain WHY it needed the parts they said it did. Then after refusing the additional services I was forced to sign a paper noting that I declined them. 6. Mechanic left a big bolt out during re-assembly; I had to point this out to them before leaving. The funny part is; he was giving ME shit about not tightening all my bolts 2 minutes before that !!! REALLY???? 7. Owner/mechanic told me "it's not possible to repair or paint motorcycle fairings" and then I asked around to paint shops and they do it all the time. The guy took absolutely no initiative, was not friendly, and quite frankly I am doubting his skills. Would somebody please open a normal motorcycle repair shop around here? The ONLY reason this place has been in business so long; is the fact that it's just this one guy in a tiny little shop and he is the only one for 50 miles in any direction. It's 100% worth it to trailer your bike to Stockton or Sacramento instead. Go to a certified repair place, not this guy in his shed. read more

I found him to be arrogant, testy, incompetent and most unhelpful. A snotty crook. I brought my quad in with a starter problem. He estimated $350. When I paid and picked it up as "ready" it still wouldn't start, I most diplomatically phoned him so. He blew up that $350 wasn't enough so he did unrelated, unauthorized work on it.and how dare I not appreciate it. read more
