Ted Boyko is absolutely the real deal when it comes to fixing and building bikes of all kinds. Mechanics that are properly trained and are able to do the amazing work Ted does restoring vintage bikes in particular are unbelievably hard to find, and Ted fits the bill. I brought in an old 2 stroke crank that was fried, as well as my cylinder and cylinder head for rebuild. The parts that were returned to me looked better than new and my bike is ripping again. Boyko charges fair prices that reflect his experience, and the quality of the work he provides is second to none. read more

Can't say enough good things about Teddy. Just a class act in the industry and knows his craft. Back in 2020 I needed a new top end kit for my wr450. It took a while to get the parts back because of covid but it was so worth the time and patience. Teddy did a such a fantastic job with his machine work and sent me off to rebuild the top end with a fresh head/piston/gasket combo. The bike has amazing power, with about 50hrs on the new head it starts first push of the magic button. Thanks Teddy! read more

Thanks to Teddy and the crew at Boyko Racing, they got my 06 crf250r in the best shape it has ever been in since we got it in 2011. He does everything the right way and won't rush the job without making sure all is ready. My bike now starts on the first kick or two which was always an issue with this bike even after taking it to other local shops. Next time any services are needed my bike will go back to Boyko. read more

I don't even know where to start. My experience with Boyko Racing was amazing. Teddy was very personable and has tons of knowledge and experience. He helps you develop a plan and explains you the process. My cylinder and head came out brand new and was so stoked with the work he did. 100 percent recommend Boyko Racing. Thanks again Teddy you're the man ! read more

He broke promises about when my stuff would be done. Straight lies to my face. He told me 2 weeks, i said take a month, 6 weeks later and he never even started. It was a total motor assembly. Then his midget ass goes off cussing me up and down when i call him on it. Fuck him. He'll never get 2 more cents of my money. It's why he's a one man shop. Nobody could to put with his short fused bullshit Nothing's changes. Ted's a fucking prick!! read more

I was introduced to Teddy through a friend who has had his motors worked on by Boyko for over 20 years. I had an issue with my 2016 KTM 350SXF and Teddy was able to pickup my bike from home and go through the issue and do a full race prep and then deliver the bike at the end of the week. Since then, I have had a few other items to fix and maintain and I have used Boyko Racing as my Factory Mechanix ever since. The shop is very organized and there is really nothing that they can't fix or improve on 2 wheels. If you want to have the factory mechanic working on your bike, this is the spot. read more

Shortest fuse I've ever seen. I was planning on writing a great review for this guy!! Thought I had a great local guy for simple two stroke ski builds and ends up being all talk. Cylinders came back far under par for $100+ per hole (bad chamfering and large nicks in the cylinders)... conversation quickly turns to Teddy cussing me out over what could have been a simple conversation. No wonder he has to work alone in a shop...short fuse! Better get him on a good day or you might see his little temper tantrums. -FYI Triple check his work or better off... don't use this jabroni read more

Long story short: Ted ripped me off bad and was a straight up AHOLE. Long story long: I needed work on my head, cylinder, and replacement piston. He kept saying it would be done by the end of the week for about 3 months, whenever I called him he would rarely pick up and when he did he would just start yelling super angry and cussing me out. I finally decided to call him and tell him let's just call it a day and i'll get it done somewhere else with no hard feelings 3 months was just way too long. When I asked how much I owed him he said it was ~$830 (he originally said it would be no more than $600) we argued a bit over the phone and he eventually honored the 600 cost and when I got there I got my ear chewed off again and said everything is perfect that he's losing money on the deal etc... He ended up getting me the wrong piston (for a dirtbike not a quad) and when i showed another machinist (Q&E) the cylinder they said it wasn't even worked on just looked like someone took a grinder to it and it was eggshaped out. 5-thousandths off. I got stuck re-paying for literally everything i paid Ted for. (at a much cheaper rate) I really don't know how someone could 1. be extremely rude to a customer 2. Take money for something they didn't do any work to and 3. String someone along for 3 months. He seemed dope at first but completely 180'd into a nasty S.O.B. read more

Do NOT hire this morron!!! Total nightmare! Worst experience i have ever had with a mechanic by far in my 20 years of motocross! Lies and cussing and contradicting and yelling at you is what u will get. And the biggest rip off!! Oh yeah, and will take forever. "Only A couple of weeks, i will split the cases and let u know prices and parts list before i start and everything will be tits! I ll take care of u since you re my buddy s buddy". 2 months later and i got yelled at for asking for prices before he finished and charged me $700 just for labor when nothing was wrong with the gears...just for replacing the rod on the crank and servicing the head. And that was with buddy discount, engine out of the bike and cash discount. We were so close to punching eachother and i am a very calm guy. -10 stars for this tweeker! read more

Ok, so let me start by saying....NEVER use the Mobile mechanics on Craigslist. I tried to save a few bucks and got my bike ruined by the dope I let attempt to fix my 2006 DR-Z 400. Let me revise that, don't even let one of them look at your bike, much less touch it. One guy doesn't return calls, and the other will lose pieces off your bike and give it back in worse shape than you gave it. So lets get to Ted and Casey at Boyko Racing....love these guys!!!! Took my bike, and first had to find and fix all the screw-ups, and missing parts from the mobile mechanic. This took a couple weeks, but I got a weekly call with an update as to what they had found, ordered parts for and fixed. Once they got it back to just running poorly, from not at all, they were able to finally analyze the real problem and fix it. Got my bike back today, and have to say, don't think it ran any better the day it rolled off the show room floor! I highly doubt anyone else would have had the patience to find the real problem after all the nonsense they had to find and fix just to get it back to the original problem!!! All done at a very reasonable price I have to say as well. I have to thank you guys/gals on Yelp for finding Boyko Racing....the reviews made me give Ted a try....I wont be going anywhere else with my three other bikes!!! Thanks again guys!!! Catch you in a couple weeks to go through my sons Yamaha. read more

The kind of business and owner/ operator that you can feel confident drop five stars on; call to conform he can take your work (never told me no), drop the goods off, share a quick chat when you pick up your parts. Straight shooter, prices worth the work and wont jerk you around! read more

Teddy lost my cam shaft and told me I better go to 3 brothers and buy a new one. I wrote up a huge review on hear and now it's missing. Don't have the will to type it all out again but Teddy is an ass hole don't believe anything he says. He gives discounts and free T-shirt's to people that give him 5 star reviews. That is why you only see 5 stars or 1 stars. Trust the one stars read more

Teddy is simply the best when it comes down to getting your banshee fixed.I have owned 2 Banshees and always does a spectacular job. Bought my banshee and had some issues to which i took to Teddy to get it checked out. Teddy made my Banshee a beast!!!!!!! Got me ready for the dunes! Thanks Teddy! read more

Took my cylinder and head in for refresh. Could not have asked for better results and good info from Ted at Boyko Racing! Got the work done in a timely matter, top quality valve job and cylinder work. He knows all bikes from old school 2 strokes to the most modern bikes! Highly recommend his sevices! read more

If you are in need of precision motor work or simple tuning or modifications Ted is the man. Not only does he have years of experience but he also treats every machine as if it were his own. His attention to detail is unparalleled and is evident in the finished product. Thanks for all of the outstanding motor work and service on my 450X Teddy. My bike runs stronger than ever and is totally dialed in. Appreciate you and all of your work. read more

Teddy (Boyko) and Casey really know their stuff when i comes to anything motorcycle related! I took my 1975 Yamaha XS650 to them to have the motor rebuilt... ending up having them finish building the bike!! Wiring and everything. Most shops I went to before did not know how to work on a 1975 Yamaha or anything that had carbs... haha. But Teddy and Casey know old bikes like the back of their hand. After the Yamaha was finished, I purchased a 1998 Harley Sportster (1200 cc) from one of Teddy's old customers. Teddy and Casey hooked the bike up before I rode away on it (since the bike had been sitting for 2+ years. Cleaned out the carbs, changed the trany fuild and gave the entire bike a solid once over. I you have a 2 wheels machine, Boyko Racing is the place to go; Shit, if you have a a Seadoo or ATV, he could likely do that too. See you soon Casey and Teddy. PS: If you have another deal on a Harley, let me know... gotta add to the collection! read more

Teddy brought my seized Banshee back from the dead! I couldn't be happier with the work he and his crew did. Boyko racing is legit!!

Good machine shops are like gold mines to us old bike enthusiasts. When you find one, you don't want to tell anybody, but it looks like the word is already out. Great work and fair prices. Thanks Ted and Casey, and best wishes on your continued success. read more

2004 Honda TRX450R I was tired of racing from all of the modified engine problems I was having, so I tried Teddy and KC at Boyko Racing. They did a top end rebuild. They put a new piston, rings, honed the cylinder, plus installed a water pump, new clutch cover, and tuned the motor according to my intake set up. I got my ATV back a day before my WORCS two round race weekend. They did some cold starts on the motor and I did a few more on the road heading to the race. Didn't know what to expect. The motor ran great!! Didn't puff smoke, didn't run rich/lean(no lean pop), and it idled!! Idled at the gate and down hills! I ran a 21 minute practice, 4 one hour races on the toughest WORCS course in 90+ degree weather. I almost grabbed holeshot 3 out of 4 times. I didn't have to grab the clutch in the down hills or turns and had responsive power thanks to the tuning. I got two 2nd place trophies in 30+! These guys know motors and racing. I'm glad I found Boyko Racing and look forward to racing again! read more

I've tried to get in touch for the last month or two. Called at different times during "open hours" I've left numerous voicemails and used their contact link to send emails. They never answer the phone or return voicemails and emails. read more

Real deal full service repair shop. very competitve prices on tires and MX upgrades too. We have been going to Boyco for about 13 years. All six bikes my son and I have owned have been serviced/repaired/upgraded by Boyco (Teddy and Casey). The make sure you get back on your bike quickly especially if you have a race or trip coming up. Excellent work and very fair price. It is nice to have a small business option to go to without dealing with a dealer and large MX store. Quality people who do quality work. My sons two friends both had older CRF 450's with major issues. Boyco gave those kids bikes new life within a budget teenagers could afford. read more

Teddy has always provided top notch service with precision and modern results with a long history of knowing what works best! Highly recommended! Thanks for all your awesome work! read more

Boyko Racing - XR200 exhaust port after polishing by Ted - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

The ower is a pompous jack-ass, who will try to deceive you by any means necessary. The shop is very slow and pricey from my experience, their service fee is analogous to factory dealership service but they take three times as long as a factory dealership; they're also very bad at communicating! So goodluck... read more

Fell short of his self elevated expertise. Simple rebore ended up 4 sizes over from stock. Figure that one out. Said bores had bad taper on them. Didn't when I measured them or when he measured them when I dropped them off. Guess I should have listened to my buddy. read more

I have been through many mechanics and have finally found one that takes pride in his work and respects the customers wishes. He believes in safety and doing what's right. He is a solo mechanic and I hate to use that term to describe him because he is more then that. He certainly isn't the guy the works on my bike he is someone you get to know. I would highly recommend Boyko Racing for all you servicing and well for any issues you might have on your motorcycle. He has brought back the honesty. read more

I am a new customer to Boyko Racing. To be honest I wasn't really sure whether to go there or not based on their website. It seemed their focus was more on building motorcycle race motors or working with dirt bikes rather than "normal" bikes. I decided to stop by but unfortunately the first time I did they were closed when I got there. I blame OC traffic for that but I was undeterred and came back another day. Finally I had a chance to meet with Teddy, the owner. Ted is really a larger than life type personality. For some people that might be a bit over whelming as he is so enthusiastic about everything he does. It is obvious he has a passion for motorcycling as strong as I do. I explained that I don't live in the OC area but am working here and basically living out of a hotel for a while. So while I am very mechanically inclined, I have neither a place nor tools to work on my bike. I basically needed someone to do the work I'd normally do for myself but had neither the tools nor place to do it. Teddy took me around the shop and introduced me to his sidekick, Casey. Think Batman and Robin but shorter. Casey reminds me of myself at a that age. Anything with wheels, motors or wings was my passion. While Casey may not have the years that Teddy does in this business, it is obvious he shares his attention to detail and has been a very studious understudy. After a brief tour of the shop, I was sold and made an appointment to have my bike brought in to add some accessories. I knew exactly what I wanted and had procured my own accessories to be installed. Most bike shops would like to make a few extra bucks if they can sell you something, Teddy wasn't that way. Not to mention most of what I wanted to add wouldn't be found in a Tucker-Rocky catalog or Parts Unlimited. He can get you what you need but at the same time he is more than happy to work with what you bring. As mentioned by other users, they do more than just what you ask them to do. They look over things to make sure that your bike is safe and ridable. I had just bought this bike used from a local dealer and I was not impressed with the bike as I received it but had no way of correcting some of the things. Even though the dealer tacked on some crazy $400 fee for making sure all was good with it. It was obvious they never checked coolant levels, chain condition, etc. I am not going to quibble about that too much as I ultimately bought at a price I was willing to pay and was aware of most of the issues. Casey found a few more while going through the bike. It sure helps to be able to put the bike on a lift and work on it. What I can say is they have very good attention to detail. I had a big laundry list of items and not a lot of time to get them all done before a trip. I told them do what you can. I can bring it back another day but to focus on a few key items I needed for my trip such as lighting upgrades, better gearing, etc. This was for my sport touring bike. It seems like they are equally at home with these types of bikes as they are others. If you need high performance motor work as well, this is definitely the place to go. They do cylinder boring, porting, polishing, etc. Teddy worked for some very famous pro racers as their motor builder. If his work was good enough for them to have consistent podium finishes, then likely you'll be pleased with it as well. Of course you can't please all of the people all of the time. I am sure they'll be someone who isn't happy with something, some day. If you like someone who will take great care of you and treat you like a long lost friend, then definitely stop by Boyko Racing and see Teddy and Casey. If you are looking for some smooth talking shop that wants to sell you all kinds of services you might not need, then ride on by. Likely if they say you need something done, then you should listen to them. Teddy is a bit rough around the edges in a good sense. He isn't going to sugar coat much of anything. I am a stickler for details and normally do my own work. When I picked up my bike they had done almost everything exactly as I would have done it. I come from an aerospace background and any lack of attention to detail can kill you there. Same is true of a bike. All things were cable tied nicely, organized in a logically way and everything was done in a tidy manner. If I could give this shop 6 stars I would. This is not some fly-by-night operation that doesn't have insurance and has a high turnover of personnel. Basically it is a 2 man shop that eats, sleeps and breathes motorcycle. Then again there is no waiting room either. What you get with Boyko Racing is GREAT work, attention to detail and all at a reasonable price. I can't see any reason to go anywhere else. Stop by and check them out, you'll be glad you did. read more

No B.S. honest mechanic. I brought my bike here because another shop (KTM dealership) screwed it up and Teddy did an awesome job repairing their screw up. I've been to every KTM dealership in Orange County and will never go back to any of them. I trust Teddy and Casey with my bikes. read more

Boyko Racing - you will not be disappointed. read more

Boyko Racing is the best motorcycle shop in SoCal; they are the only shop in the area that knows how to repair new & old bikes. Teddy has a wealth of knowledge with his decades of experience; he and Casey are very knowledgeable on preventing problems and troubleshooting issues that arise on bikes. Great guys and outstanding customer service. The only shop in SoCal for bike repairs or modifications is Boyko Racing. I have been riding for 30 years and I'm so thankful to have a shop close to my home that knows what they are doing and that I trust with all of my Motorcycle, ATV, and UTV repairs. read more

New customer to Boyko Racing and fairly new to the motorcycle scene. Had some trouble with my new exhaust (stripped/seized bolt) which Teddy was able to fix in no time. I was blown away by first impressions. Did a walk in and soon after I was getting a tour of the shop. Teddy and Casey are super passionate about their work and it really shows through their work and service. Even went beyond to offer extra help that was not at all related to the work I needed done. For those who are new or stuck on a build, STOP AND GIVE TEDDY A CALL!! Guy really knows his stuff and will help you out in anyway he can. Really hard to find such a quality shop nowadays. Will definitely be going back. read more

I always have a great experience when coming here. They are very knowledgeable and know how to take care of your bike. I'm in and out of the shop quite often and wouldn't go anywhere else. They even teach you how to maintain your bike for years to come. read more

I looked at 4 or 5 different shops before I came here including M2 Motoworks, Cycledoctor, Riders Revelation and more, most with many more 5-star Yelp reviews than Boyko Racing. All of them either couldn't fit me in their schedule for a week or more, were very expensive, or didn't answer their phone or return my voicemail. Ted at Boyko Racing also had a busy schedule but said I could come by that afternoon and he'd fit me in. I have a 2006 Honda Shadow Spirit 750. I primarily needed a new set of tires installed that I had purchased previously, which Ted was charging much less for than anywhere else, but I also needed an oil change and some other stuff. They went above and beyond what I asked for, cleaning the whole bike from front to back and lubing the chain(which really needed some attention), steering column, joints, etc. My brakes are more sensitive now, steering is easier, I've noticed a big difference in the clutch and throttle performance, basically it feels like I'm riding a new bike. I'll be recommending Boyko Racing to everyone I know and they've earned my business for life. read more

Ok. So I'm getting back into motorcycles. I'm 44 years old and it's time to get back to the dirt! I was recommended Boyko Racing by a friend of mine. I needed fork seals done and they quoted me $125 for my Honda CRF450R. They charged me $150. No bother, I needed them done. After a desert race, I brought the bike back to have carb rebuilt and have the valves checked. The bike would hardly kick over. They had 2 weeks before my next trip. I picked up the bike and true to form they charged me more than quoted. Fine, I needed the work done. The bike never did start on my trip. I pouted for a week. Then I grabbed my tools to investigate. They said they went through the carb. I was told it was jetted with a 35. Never heard of that. Usually it's a 42, 45 or 48. I was told they put in a 42. Fine that's stock. But it was a 45 in there. So I rebuilt the carb. Now it starts rough. I was told that a new spark plug was put in. Wrong again. This one was rusted. Hmm? Any how, I'm glad this happened. Now I'm back into building bikes as well. Now my bike runs flawless. Bottom line, no stars. read more

Ted is a nice guy when nothing goes wrong. When thing goes wrong he will use F word to talk to customer. I had him to rebuild the crank and bore a cylinder. When I pick up the parts, I didn't check, so I had to bring the crank back because the crank web was touching the con rod and also the piston was flapping due to too much clearance. Ted...1 star is what you deserve. read more

Great people, Great work ,Great knowledge, Great price, and Great customer service, you cant go wrong bringing your bike to Teddy and Casey

I was recommended by a good riding buddy of mine to give Ted Boyko a shot at engine tuning and upgrading the front suspension on my pristine 1984 Honda VT500FT Ascot. Even Honda wouldn't touch the bike?! Ted is genius at the top of his game... the gold standard of workmanship and craftsmanship... he has a passion, obsession and dedication for motorcycles like no other I have met and treats every machine as if it were his own private inventory. His mind is an instant textbook of knowledge in all aspects of motorcycle mechanics and he can fabricate just about any kind of needed part for your bike even if it doesn't exist in stock OEM inventory. Ted is respectful, courtesy, professional and most of all HONEST!.. he will keep you posted on the progress he is performing on your machine as he goes about doing what you have requested. Ted goes ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty when taking care of your prized wheeled possessions. He is meticulous and detailed oriented. I was blown away with the excellent performance of my Ascot. He rebuilt and tuned the carbs to perfection and the front suspension didn't even make it feel like it was the same bike! I was so impressed with his knowledge and mechanical abilities that I immediately turned over my Ducati Multistrada for him to work on next. He will even detail your bike before returning it back to you... now who does that in this day and age?! I am so happy I have finally found a superb mechanic and down to earth kinda guy who loves motorcycles as much as I do. Ted is charismatic, a great story teller of motorcycle related information and histories of his own personal experiences. Ted works in junction with Casey in a small but very well organized shop. He makes you feel important not just as a customer with a bike to be worked on but as a human being. Being a motorcycle enthusiast myself for over 45 yrs... I highly recommend his services for all your motorcycle needs whether street, dirt, or ATV related!!!... Thank You R.F. read more
