    "Bad Habit" is a play on words... It's the place you go to when your ride needs some updates…read more(performance & shiny stuff.) Started as a small shop doing mostly American v-twin motorcycles, but over the years it expanded with the needs of the customer base. But, the mid 2000's hit hard and fun money was gone. 2000: Opened in suit C and the idea to serve the community began. Curtis and Charlie were the main v-twin machanics. 2002: Business expanded at the location to accommodate more work space and performance space, suit B was added. 2004: Darrin and Jason brought in the large watercraft such as Eliminator, Ultra and Commander Boats (30' to 55'+.) 2005: (summer) With space for bikes and boats one last section was needed... Powerful classic super cars like the a/c Cobra and Don joined the team. RIP Don. During those wonderful, yet challenging days, there were opportunities to celebrate the goodtimes. The location was used for private "after hours" Coachella events. BB also found the location a handful of times for his events. And of course we treated our customers to some very fun shows and entertainment through those years. Grammy Award winning "Skillet" played 3 different concerts (right out of the shop, which had acquired stage and lighting to make it a real show.) The shows were huge and wish I could remember all the people that we met and the stories that were shared. The last show was May 11, 2007. AMAZING! 2007: December That was the month that we closed. Went through so many great events and learned how to be more than only a business... We were part of the community of Palm Desert and surrounding Coachella cities. We did trips, and Bike weeks and trailered tons of stuff all over. Met all sorts of families and groups and had a blast. Yes, there were challenges and hardships too, but all the great things took place and that's incredible to consider those moments in life. The economy just wasn't for a shop like us, basically caring for the needs of families with very expensive "toys." When it gets tight on money hot rods and hot bikes and hot boats just don't make it... Or least we didn't :( Today is a new day and you never know what might happen. Hope to hear from those out there. Be fun to hear of successes and how B Habit was part of your memories, it's all part of this life.

    Love this place! Great work performed and affordable pricing. Only place to get work done in the…read moredesert.

    I'm pleased to say that my recent experience with this company was positive. My 2001 Gold Wing…read morewouldn't start and the problem was not the battery. I finally became stranded and towed the bike into the shop at the end of the day on Friday night. The top mechanic, Scott Guess, carefully rode the bike off the tow ramp and then diagnosed the problem within a few seconds. The culprit was a short in the kill-switch. He promised to take it apart the following day (Saturday) and restore it to a serviceable level. With some concern, I took him at his word, and he called me around 5:00 pm yesterday, with the news that he had finished the work. Because I was not able to line-up a ride to pick up my bike, the new owner, Joseph Gilman, rode my bike to my house and I drove him in my car back to their shop. This unprecedented act going above and beyond the call of duty accounts in part for why I have given the business five stars in this review. This shop's labor rate is $75 an hour and although they reported that over two hours was spent fixing my bike, they charged me $150. The truth is that the worn-out module that houses the kill-switch, cruise control, and starter button needs to be replaced. This expedient temporary fix was the best solution to insure that I would have access to my bike, and Scott made the right call on this, stepped-up to the plate and pulled me out of the ditch on this one for which I'm grateful. The last thing I wanted was the inconvenience of having my bike sitting in the shop waiting for parts. Overall, I'm impressed with the honesty and concern for the customer expressed by Joseph, and the expertise and steady hand of Scott, the main mechanic. They also employ two additional mechanics and their labor rate is around $20 less than the dealer rate. Since there presently is no Honda Dealer in the Coachella Valley, and Scott is a seasoned veteran of this brand, they are filling an important niche that otherwise doesn't exist. Wherever you have a business that has to diagnose mechanical problems and then order parts, there will always be some customers who have to wait a little longer than others. Lastly, we all know that by and large, good news doesn't sell. Reason suggests that there must be a lot of bikers that have received good service from this shop, but simply haven't taken the time to write positive reviews to help this shop grow and thrive in our community. I will return to this shop for service in the future, as I prefer the convenience of doing business locally, and because of their recent re-organization and customer service.
