I really do not think words can express how phenomenal these 3 or 4 guys have been in the few short months I have been using them, but I will do my best. It started back when I bought my first (and current) bike. It was a piece of junk. I won't lie. I brought it in to Mikes shop and he did a full check on it. It was labeled "unsafe to ride" . They had to fix most major parts and bolt on the body panels properly. Mike prepared a list for me with all the issues and asked me to bring it back ASAP. I did within the next few days to get the body panels bolted on and the fork seals replaced. They did that within a few days and for only a little more than $200. Considering I am a student with a part time, minimum wage job, prices like that are music to my ears. Shortly after I brought it back to replace the valve covers. They replaced them and did a diagnostic to verify the new ones were working. That cost around $130 and was finished much faster than I expected.
After those first two trips, I neglected to bring my bike back for the remaining issues. And one day while at work, someone tipped my bike over (guess they weren't a fan) upon riding it, I heard and felt something rattling. I brought it back to Mike the next day and left it there for a day and they straightened the fuel tank and tightened the gauges, free of charge. I was incredibly thankful.
Now here is the part that shows how much these guys care about the community and the well being of bikes (not that the first two paragraphs didn't already help). Just today (10/25/2014). I picked up my bike after it got the Clutch cable and lever replaced. Had an oil change, new chain installed, and a new brake lever installed. All that for $200. I couldn't believe it. After picking up my bike, I had to ride to work. About an hour into my shift, I get called outside to find that the fuel line had burst and gas was everywhere (I was lucky it didn't happen while riding). Anyways, my co workers and I had to cut the line and jury rig it to stop what little gas was left from leaking out. A wave of depression hit me, I had only just picked up the bike about 2 hours before that. I called the shop and let them know what happened. They felt awful. So what did they do? They came down from the shop and picked up the bike (a good 10 miles away), replaced the fuel line and gave me a new clamp, AND topped off my gas. How much did they charge? Nothing, zero. I was stunned. I really almost felt like crying. Mike and his 2 or 3 employees are BY FAR the best mechanics a rider could ask for. The prices are astounding, the quality of work is out of this world, and the fact that they can fix most issues within a few days (or immediately, if need be) is mind boggling. My only complaint is that Yelp only lets me put 5 stars. I wish I could put 6 or 7.
If you have any type of issue with your ride, regardless of what type of bike it is, bring it down to Mikes shop. I don't care if you live on the other side of the state. They are the best mechanics you will find out here in the desert. No one else can compare to them. I will never go to any other mechanic ever. As long as I live here in Arizona, Arizona Motorcycle Repair will be the only shop I bring my bike to. read more
