Buyer beware. This is not the place to take your bike. The repair outfit gets one star for prompt refund for work not performed. Other work requested was not performed. Not a good experience and had I not been involved in the industry, I never would have known that I was charged for work not performed. Now, my bike must go to a dealer to have their work checked and original work performed professionally. read more

I live in San Jose. Got a new chain at my regular mechanic last week and was ready to get it adjusted when I had to make an emergency run to LB. By the time I got here, it was super sloppy & loose. Called at 10am to see if they could adjust it and by 11:15 I was in, out, and happy. Good guys, quick work, good rate, and they fit me in between other jobs so I could get back on the road. read more

Amazing service. Israel is a great guy that kept me 100% informed on the progress of my Harley. These guys definitely know what they're doing and I recommend them to anyone! New tires and brake pads at an amazing price, with great customer service! Can't be beat, thanks guys! read more

My first two experiences were not so good here, but wow things have turned around. I think there was a transition with ownership and perhaps this is why i had the previous experiences i did. Anyhow, they've been superb ever sense. Reasonably priced, knowledgeable and don't try to gauge you by advising to fix things that aren't needed. They've been absolutely wonderful to deal with. Boy has my opinion changed. Thanks guys you are the best!!!!! read more

I came to the shop after blowing a fuse trying to fix the rear signal lights on my cbr1000rr. Beto, even though busy working on a bike, took the time to search for fuses and gave them to me. I was so impressed I took the bike to the shop to get diagnostic work. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The prices were fair so not only I got my lights fixed, I got new brakes, fluids, new tires, throttle cables, clutch... I would recommend the shop to my family and friends, in fact, I did:)... read more

Finally a good Harley mechanic in downtown Long Beach!!!! Justin had Luis come pick it up at a decent price (Luis was very careful with my bike) and Justin found some major but easily fixable problems. My bike is running better than ever! Go to these guys, you won't regret it. read more

This is a business that still remembers the importance of customer service. Unlike most businesses in Long Beach, they take care of their customers as opposed to milking every cent out of them. Of the 3 bikes I've owned over the years, commuting every day, I only go to M&C. They are honest and friendly and above all, they know what they are doing. read more

Good place, talk to JJ he is good. i have been coming here for a while and have refereed friends here. they do good work and have that small shop feeling... going in today for yet another upgrade! read more

I removed my front wheel and took it along with a new tire down expecting to drop it off and return later to pick it up. I was pleasantly surprised that they were able to do it while I waited. It was mounted and balanced in less than twenty minutes. I received excellent customer service from Manuel at the front desk, as well. I will be a returning customer after this initial experience. read more

Needed my rear tire replaced, so swung by for a quote. Not only was Israel's quote reasonable but they were able to fit it in to their schedule the same day! THANK YOU, Israel, Aaron and Crew!! read more

I haven't been to these guys at their new location only because I haven't needed anything lately. But I went to them several times a the old spot for things like tire and sprocket changes, oil change service, etc. I like them very much, they do a great job at less-than-main-shop prices. Best of all, unlike many a mainline dealer or bigger outfit, they have not ever been more than 10 minutes off a time estimate on when work will be done. That is an underrated and extremely important service virtue. As soon as I need them again, I will be back. read more

I had a very good experience with these guys, they were cool, also their service was fast and very reasonably priced. I am starting to think you cannot always trust and go by Yelp reviews. I really do not know what happened in the case of those negative reviews but my experience was completely the opposite. read more

Had my Vstar 250 in for carb cleaning. Bogged down at full throttle. Israel suggested full dignostic. Found a leak in the vacuum line! Dealer that sold me the bike said it was fine (jerks). Bike runs great now! Awesome work at a realistic price. I'll be back for all maintenance. LB Motorcycle rocks! read more

If I could give this place more stars, I would! Came here to get my bike worked on, tuned up, and have a few extra keys made. The workers were very professional, efficient, and above all, friendly. I will definitely recommend this place to others and will be back next time I need a tune-up! read more

I once loved this place. They changed locations, but also personel. Now it seems one repair leads right into another. What was an aweswome dependable shop.... Is now a rip off scam center. read more

This shop is right down the street from me. I have read the reviews and it seemed to be a 50/50 split on customer experience. I have had a terrible time dealing with Harley Davidson and was looking to give another shop a chance. So, I needed to change my tires, and the average cost was about 50-60 bucks per tire if I brought the bike in and had the tires changed. I decided to take the tires off myself and just bring the rims to have the new ones mounted and balanced. I called before hand and the service representative said, "that M&C could do it for $25 a tire". It was a nice price to keep local business rolling in, I thought. Once I got there, the sales rep. came out to greet me. I told him what I needed done and he started to grab the rims out of my truck. But before he could pull them out I mentioned to him that I was quoted $25 per rim. He sorta looked at me with dismay and then asked, "if I was paying in cash'? I said, "I could roll down the street and get some". He agreed and stated that the tire would be done in about 30 minutes and stated he was trying to hurry as he was going heading to lunch. The tires are out of my truck and I inform him that the powder coat on my rims can be easily damaged and need a bit more attention when mounting. He looked at me and from what I could tell, acknowledged my concern. But as he's rolling my tires by hand toward the shop he loses control on my front tire and it falls on the rotor side. At this point, I thought I should just take my tires and leave. But it was an avoidable accident, and decided I would just go and get some money and address any damage when i return. It didn't look to be "catastrophic" drop. When I get back, it appears my tires are done. Pretty fast. I go over to my tires and the new ones are on. But as I inspect to see if the rotor (front tire) took any serious damage I notice the powder coat on the rear has been scuffed up. I tried to make sure to look at my tires before I brought them, and I did exam my rear for sure, but only really glanced at the front. And on a side note, my old tire had a rip on the inside of the edge. The rear was pretty close to done, but it made me wonder what my new tire looks like around the mounting part of the tire.... I bring up the issue with the sales rep. and he examines the tires. And he said, "he didn't notice or look the tire over before the tire change" and began with why it wasn't the shops fault. He tried to explain to me the powder coat was done cheaply by the previous owner. I told him that these tires come powder coated from the factory. And he told me no they don't. But the reason I brought my rims in is because they weren't so sure about working on my Buell Xb12scg, as they outsource a Harley mechanic and he was not in. After mentioning to him that I really wanted to find a good local shop I could trust, and even with some negative review on Yelp I still wanted to give them a shot. His attitude started to move toward a "I don't care" mode, but he was never overly rude. And he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "no charge". I told him that wasn't my angle to get something for free, and he said, "I could use the money to get the tires powder coated again". I guess me not paying for the service was his give in. I still offered to pay for service, but he said, "no". As he walked away, he said, "don't forget to grab your old tires" and went into the shop. I just stood there by my tires and thought, really...? So I grabbed my tires and inspected them even more closely before I left. Overall I am sure they are capable of good work, but it seems they are inconsistent about the level of service they provide. I'm just glad I didn't bring my bike in, who knows what I would be writing today? Just for peace of mind I will not return. But your experience may be different. read more

This place is great... Yup I gummed up the carb on my daughter 250x and we wanted to go out in 3 days... Got the bike over there and they fixed it and had it done early. Same day ... GREAT price... I bought a scooter on craiglist.... They dont work on the kind I got... But they are going to go through it for me and change the oil.... Yahhhh... Love this place... Maryann.... read more

I was thoroughly disappointed with the Service at M&C. Since they are the only guys in town doing what they do, they don't have to be competent or helpful. Everyone walks around like they are on drugs and no one seems to know who is doing what. I went in for an oil change with a brand new motorcycle. I did not get the oil I requested, my keys were left in the bike for anyone to steal, and I had to chase someone down to take my money. I was immediately reminded of those sitcoms where everyone from the family chips in to help "Billy" at his new job and wacky hi-jinx ensue. Only the hi-jinx aren't wacky and the job entails my motorcycle not getting the care and attention it deserves. read more

JJ Is the guy to go to. I have had my big metric cruiser in the shop several times for major and some minor repairs. JJ always gives me top shelf service and the mechanics Juan and Q Are pretty good metric mechanic's and are very friendly. Their services are way cheaper than going to the dealership in Long Beach on Cherry. I have had nothing but great experience going to M&C motorcycle. They aren't very good at giving status updates to their customers, but if that's the only thing I can complain about.. then it is still a bargain. that's why I keep going back. pretty good shop. read more

Known as Long Beach Motorcycle Repair now. Israel, the Manager, is always extremely helpful and works hard to ensure any needed work is completed as quickly as possible. I've had my bike here several times now, it's a 2001, so things occasionally need fixing. Major repairs have been a new clutch spring and most recently a new Power Command Module. I've been very happy with each repair and the bike runs great. My only complaint would be the grease smudges left behind after repair. So be prepared to clean your bike after pick up. Other than that, this is the place to get your ride fixed. read more

Great place, affordable prices, and quick service for me. When ever I drop off my bike they get it taken care of immediately.

I will start off by saying I am pleased with the work so no complaints there. I really do appreciate how helpful the manager was but at the same time it was just a sh*tshow of events. My bike had been sitting for 3 years with a seized motor so I found this shop on google maps and off reviews decided to call and ask how much for a diagnosis Israel answered and said $100 so I packed up my bike and took it down there. He told me I will be getting a call tomorrow about what is wrong with my bike. This was on a Thursday May 7th keep in mind so Friday came around and it was getting closer to the end of the day so I decided to call and he tells me "oh yeah the motor will need a full rebuild", which I already knew this because I have had a seized motor before. I drove down to the shop and my bike is in the same spot I left it not touched which threw up a red flag but I pushed that aside. So I ask where to from here and he tells me engine rebuild kit which with parts and labor ended up at around $2200. And me being curious asked how long it will take and Israel told me two weeks. By the two week mark or a little after I get a call saying my cylinder head, valves, and camshaft are not usable which confused me one because I have been the one calling him to ask for updates and he didn't once reach out to me and also if the diagnosis would have been done then I would have known this to get parts or go a different route. Which then parts from Honda are on back order for about a month so I go home and start browsing for parts and find the right parts for around $500 for everything out of my pocket. So ordering parts pushed the time back by another week for shipping but by this time I have been told a couple different deadlines at least 4 and it would just get pushed back and back every time. I understand the work needs to be perfected but I don't enjoy being told deadlines and it isn't done or just gets pushed back. So finally by mid way into June I decide to just go down there and see what the progress is and the motor was back in the bike but it wouldn't start so I then proceeded back home and came back the next day and nothing the bike had yet to start and the mechanic suggested a new flywheel because the old one wasn't very magnetic. Israel was generous enough to offer and pay for a used one and deliver my bike because in the midst of all this I moved about 30 minutes away but in the beginning thought my bike would be done by then. To summarize I really do appreciate the work but I just don't understand why tell me it will done in 2 weeks, oh wait Tuesday or maybe next week, and then it's not done yet when I have been waiting for almost 2 months. I got the bike to me on June 26th. I just hope they fix the planning so other people aren't waiting as long as me. read more

Brought in my scoot scoot & even though they don't do scooters they fixed it anyways! Im summer time ready now!

When I was new in town and needed some small reparis I ignored this place and went to Long Beach Motorsports up the way instead . It was silly of me to do so. I paid too much at LB Motorsports. I gave this place a shot the next time and I have had no regrets.They have solid prices on tires, maint. and a mechanic's hourly charge. Don't hesitate to bring your bike into this shop. But if you need more convincing, just check them out and do some shopping around. You'll see that they have very competitive prices. Last note: I needed some tires for my bike so I went online (tiresunlimited.com) and discoverd that after the shipping, the mounting charge by most shops this place was the better deal. read more

I took my 82 honda in for a tuneup and carb rebuild. I got a call that there was a problem with the carbs. When I got there the butterfly shaft on one pair of carbs was bent so bad it wouldn't go back in. They said it was like that when they opened it. The problem with that statement is the bend was in the middle of the shaft where it's supported by the carbs. Impossible to happen while in the carbs. Very possible to step on it or drop something on it when it's in a box of loose parts,which is how they showed it to me. When I went to pick up the bike the tach cable was laying on the ground and damaged. (wasn't like that when I brought it in.) They used rtv instead of gaskets to seal the cam cover, the rtv was oozing down the sides, I wonder if they got any inside the motor. (the cover leaked, it didn't when I brought it in.) The owner seemed unwilling to correct the carb problem. When I first picked it up they said they got it corrected but the choke wouldn't work at all. I took it back to get the problem fixed, and it does run a little better but the choke on one pair of carbs is always on. After the bike is warm it idles at 3000 rpm and you can smell/see the raw fuel coming out of that pair of cylinders. Bottom line? I wouldn't let the M & C screwups fix my schwinn. . Tony PS. Don't get an alarm at Beach City Motorsports up the block. They also do hatchet work. Must be something in the water on that block. Update.... I had my brother fix my motorcycle. After the 3rd phone call each with a new list of work that would make an abortion look pretty (all done at M & C and all carb related) he was able to correct ALL of the problems. The bike now runs as flawless as any low miles Honda should. If a guy who just tinkers with bikes on the weekends between his kids soccer games can sort it out you would think a 'professional' shop would. Monkeys and Chimps Motorcycle Repair isn't that shop. The kickstand is up and I'm going for a ride! read more

Good bunch of guys. Good service and fair prices. Don't let the location fool you, and park behind them off PCH. Give 'em a try. 2 thumbs up!! read more

I just called this shop to get a quote on installing a brake line kit. Not only did they have me speak to 3 different people they quoted me $1,000 to install SS brake lines. What a nice way to blow off a potential customer. read more

This place sucks, was told to bring in our bike for repairs after getting if there they said they couldn't work on it!

I needed my bike to get the 1k miles service. I searched on yelp to find a shop who does quality work for a great price. I ran into this repair shop and decided to give it a shot. Hands down, they were fast, courteous, and know what they are doing. Definitely will be a repeat customer! read more

I'd give no star at all if i could. Worst experience ever. DON'T GO THERE! They'll rip you off. They have limited skills and are not client oriented. If they fail at doing their job, they blame you for it. I had more issues when i got my bike back. When i told them they said they were not responsible and i could not prove it was their fault. Waste of time and money... AVOID THEM! read more

best motorcycle repair shop i have been to, great customer service, very knowledgeable technicians, and very reasonable prices. this guys are great they have your motorcycle on time and always call you to give you updates on the work been done on your motorcycle defiantly will be referring my people her great job guys. read more

Being a woman it can sometimes be scary going into any type of vehicle repair shop, hoping I don't get up charged or ripped off. These guys did the exact opposite! They told me exactly what they saw was wrong with my bike and fixed it with a quickness! They had me and my motorcycle back on the road in just a matter of 2 days! They get quick shipments of tires if they don't have them in stock, and their customer service is top notch! Thanks Israel! I will be back. read more

These guys at Long Beach motorcycle repair are very professional, and know what they are doing Israel the manager is super nice guy and will be upfront and honest with you! Plus they are way way less expensive than the harley dealership. Would not take my bike anywhere else!! Thanks guys!!!! read more

It's not necessarily easy to find a shop to work on a Vespa these days. Israel and his crew are top notch. I've always been satisfied with the work done to my 200L GTO here and the prices are reasonable. Recently I had to bring it in for some unexpected electrical work. The work was done quickly and when I told Israel that I was having cash flow problems he very kindly worked with me to arrange a payment plan that worked for both of us. It is a rare thing to find a shop that willing to help out their customers. I wouldn't take my Vespa anywhere else. read more

Brought in my ninja 250 for a 6000 mile tune up. They changed the fluids, tuned up the carb, adjusted the breaks, did some other things, and informed me that a dust seal needed replacement. Very friendly service. Met the gentleman, John, who worked on my bike. He seemed very knowledgable and passionate about his work. Overall great experience. read more

Awesome guys! They're always friendly, helpful, and super quick when I bring my r6 in for service and repairs. Highly recommend them! I always recommend and refer my fellow riders to them because of their thorough workmanship and over all great business practice. read more

Buyer beware! Walter continues to say something is true even though I have proof that it's not and Manuel C., the owner, backs him up on it & retaliated against me by charging me even more and my bike has some damage that wasn't there before I took it. They'll claim that that was there too. I will never patronize their shop again even if it was the last shop on earth. I am taking them to court. read more

My cousin and I called to get an estimate on lowering my Yamaha and find information on how it would affect the bike. I called a week later ready to lower hoping they still had appointments for the day and got told to head on over. My cousin drove the bike to the shop for me. They were very friendly, knew exactly who we were. I had them lower the front and back and got a really good deal! My bike was ready in no time! Great service, Definitely going back and recommend :) read more

Don't go here. They damaged my $15,000 custom cruiser. They scratched up my exhaust, they damaged my rims putting on a new tire, and only put half the required oil in. They also tried to charge me for a valve adjustment check, which isn't needed for bikes with hydraulic valve lifters. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR BIKE read more

A few months ago I purchased a 1982 Yamaha XJ650 from a craigslist seller. The bike was super clean with low mileage but wouldn't run due to the carbs being gunked up. I called Long Beach Motorcycle Repair and spoke with the manager Israel. He had one of his guys pick up my bike with a flat bed free of charge. I had the carbs cleaned and the front brake bled. I received the call that my bike was finished and in excellent running order a day before it was promised. My bike has been running like a champ ever since thanks to Israel and the guys at Long Beach Motorcycle Repair. I highly recommend their shop for honest, speedy, and reliable service. read more
