Totally screwed up by Honda engine rebuild! Had to have it redone by another motorcycle mechanic

I have been using Billy as my mechanic on and off for the past 10 years on my various scooters. He is a very competent technician and has never failed to solve any problems that I've had. read more

Another one of RI's best kept secrets! Awesome service, great people!!! They are a bit of a perfectionists but won't take you to the cleaners, they really want to help you have your bike or scoot running 100% but won't make you replace every part on the bike. If they tell you a part is bad you can pretty much bet that it is. read more

I love riding a scooter, but I am not at all mechanically inclined. I rely on Rachel and Billy from A Girl and a Guy Cycles to keep my scooter up and running. They offer pickup and delivery service - which is perfect for me because I don't have a van, truck, or other way to bring my bike to them for service. Their pricing is good, and I've always felt treated fairly by them. Whenever I bring my bike to them, I always feel I can trust them to do a thorough job without ripping me off or padding the bill. read more

Billy is an expert, super honest and trustworthy, and reliable! He's in contact by email or phone and makes it super clear what work he's done on the moto so you can rest assured you're paying for the right fix. Wouldn't trust my two wheels anywhere else. read more

I'm a long time repeat customer. They know their stuff and really care about their work. My Vespa LX150 doesn't hit the road each year until Billy checks it out. Even after paying for pickup/drop-off service to Boston the price is right and the quality of work beats what I can get done at the local "vespa" shop. read more

This place is now called Black Grease Cycles. Easiest thing I can tell you is this place and the people are hands down best I have ever felt with. I was new to the area and took a chance on this place and it was the best decision I have made since coming to NE. They fixed my bike were very courteous and gave me some good advice for the winters up here. Never felt like I was being talked down to or not important even though I am a more casual rider then most. They listened to my issue checked out the bike and fixed it and the whole time kept me in the loop and were just great. If you go somewhere else then all I can say is you made a mistake. read more

So much better than a dealership, service is the best. I highly recommend this shop to all my biker buds and anyone who cares for their bikes. read more

Absolutely no idea on what they are doing. If you want to get anything more than a oil change don't go to this place. Claim to be experts on tuning old motorcycles but simply have no idea about tuning and how a motorcycle should be tuned they just tighten the screws to what is written in a manual. A shame to call themselves motorcycle mechanics read more

Where do we start, we thought that this shop would be a good place to drop off our older motorcycle for a few repairs and a safety check to make sure the bike was running correctly and safely. We Dropped it off on a Sunday and the owner seemed very familar with the bike he even said that he owned the small 750 version of our bike. He told us that he was very busy and wouldnt be able to get a good look at it until Wednesday. We thought that was ok since he specialized in older bikes and we just wanted the bike to be safe. Well when we called on Friday to get a status check on the bike, there was no answer on the phone. There was actually no phone communication at all over the phone. He only answered me by email. Well the small jobs and the amount of work that he did took just under 4 weeks to complete. the ower was attitude was below par and he actually was very condisending. It was nice that we were given a itemized list of what he did. We found it very expensive for the little work that he did and the time he tied up the bike. We contacted a few diffrent motorcycle repair shops and they quoted us way under what we paid. But all of this is not what angers us the most about girl and a guy Cycles. His repairs posed a safety factor. The bracket that holds the front brake wire was digging into the front tire shredding it. The tire place we brought it to told us if we did not catch that when we did, the tire could have completly shredded the tire and it would have shreeded apart and possibly killing the riders. but he fixed the breaks are safe so I guess he thought that not checking the bracket he put on was ok. Every repair that he did we have had to refix. He told us our speed cable was fine that we would have to replace the whole speedometer unit. So we found on, which took about a month to find since we have a 1970's bike. When we replaced that today it was the cable that was bad. it was completely split in half. We paid $100 for a new speedometer when it should have only been $20 for the cable. We had him fix the blinkers the flasher unit had to be replaced but the flasher switch needed a good cleaning too, he didnt do that. the blinkers stopped working after the 2nd time riding. He rewired the fuse box it needed to be done, but maybe he should have make sure that the rear running light was working(it was when we dropped it off). We had to have a new wire run for that to work. He was paid to fix the breaks which he did new pads and such, but the front break fluid resivoir was not filled or put back on correctly (not tight at all). We had break fluid leaking all over and had to have that refixed. If we would have lost that fluid we wouldnt be able to stop. Yet another safety problem he caused. He also had to fix the front brake and calliper(sp?) and after a few rides it started squeeking again and the bike is going to another repair shop to fix that again. We asked him not to touch the carbs since we had someone already do that for us. Well acording to the list he gave us he did and now our bike leaks gas. We had the bike diagnosed by a carb specailist and he believes that it was caused by repair work from girl and a guy cylce. One of the floaters may be stuck and not closing properly and leaking gas all over our garage(it was not leaking when we dropped it off) So now that is going to get repaired along with the calliper this week. We have dumped alot of money onto this motorcycle and to girl and a guy cycles for no actual repair just a whole lot of rerepair, ageravaiton, frustration and totally not satisifed. The $570 of the parts and labor he preformed cost me an additionaly $482 and more once these new fixes of his repairs are done this week it will problably be a couple hundred or so more. I will never recomend or go to this HACK SHOP ever again! Motorcyle owners be aware dont go to this shop, it could cost you more or cost you your safety. read more
