Chris was very generous with his time, explaining what could be the issue, also walking me through starting the bike using the kickstart. Thankfully that got the bike to start. He explained that his shop offers free battery charging, and suggested I bring it in just to check it which I did. He took me in right away, charged the battery free of cost, and also offered me some advice about the motorcycle. (I'm a first-time owner, and it's still very new to me) Additionally, he also gave me a printout of the service with details about the battery! Overall - Chris provided very thorough explanations, the fact that the battery charge is a free service is super cool, and I was in/out the same day in an hour. I consider the service above and beyond. Thanks Chris!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about SFMOTO--especially Dave B!…read more I have a 2013 Lance Cali Classic 125cc scooter that had been sitting in a garage for about 10 years. She badly needed a tune-up, new tires, and a new battery. I called scooter shops all over San Francisco, but everyone turned me down because of the scooter's age or because they now service only electric scooters. I was at the end of my rope and honestly thought I would never find anyone willing to help me get her back on the road. Then I remembered SFMOTO on 8th Street. Years ago, I purchased my first motorcycle helmet, shoes, and gloves there while taking motorcycle classes, but I didn't realize they also repaired scooters. I was so happy to learn that they are a Lance distributor and service Lance scooters! Dave B was my service representative, and he was amazing from the beginning. He has such a great personality and genuinely understood how much getting this scooter running again meant to me. Although the shop normally doesn't accept vehicles over 10 years old, Dave looked at me and said, "I can't say no. I can see how much you want to ride your scooter, and I love your passion. I'm going to say YES!" And he did! SFMOTO fixed my scooter, and now she purrs like a kitten and is ready to ride into the sunset! I am so happy and excited to ride again. I truly believed no one in the city would help me, but Dave found a way to say yes when everyone else said no. Thank you, Dave B, for seeing how much this meant to me and for helping bring my scooter back to life. I love SFMOTO so much that I ended up buying another helmet, and I will definitely be back. Thank you, Dave B--you ROCK!!!!!

LADIES!!!! This review mainly for you…read more I'm in the very beginning stages of researching the best beginner bikes for me. Context: the last time I was on a bike, I was a teenager. I'm 58. So, I rolled up to SF Moto & I'm greeted by JASON. Told him what I was doing, and he asked some follow up questions & sent me upstairs to CHANA. I told Chana what I was looking for, showed him a picture, and he immediately said, "no you need this..." then he called TONY. Tony suggested some bikes, then he pulled out two: Honda (fave) & a Kawasaki (good too). He let me sit on them, take a look, and then he offered some tips. He did not rush me. He did not make me feel dumb. He was patient, especially to someone who was not buying. Next he said let's go & talk to TONY. Tony took more time than I thought he would as he walked me through the countless gear. He shared not buying a "Lexus" helmet in the beginning, until I have some rides under my belt. I learned so much. All & all ladies. This is a male dominated industry, and it is easy for men to make women feel small. Not these guys! I cannot wait to get started. Thank you to: JASON, CHANA, JIM, AND TONY. And I am going to give a shout out to the sweet man, talking to Chana when I arrived. He gave me some good advice too. Unless you are an experienced rider, please listen to whatever advice these guys give.

If you're a new rider looking for a reliable and trustworthy motorcycle shop, I highly recommend…read moreTokyoMoto. I first reached out to them about my leaking fork seals, and I had the pleasure of speaking with Shawn. He told me I could bring my bike in for a quick inspection, so I stopped by and they took a look at it and gave me an estimate. From the beginning, Shawn was transparent about the pricing, what work needed to be done, and what I would be paying for. Before coming here, I had gotten quotes from other shops, and TokyoMoto's price for replacing my fork seals was significantly better. I was so happy with the price and how they treated me that I decided to have them replace my chain as well. Obviously, adding another service increased the original estimate, but everything was explained clearly and there were no surprise charges. I had seen a previous review mentioning unexpected or last-minute charges, but that was not my experience at all. Shawn was very straightforward about their pricing and what each charge was for. I always felt like I knew exactly what I was agreeing to. They were also fantastic with scheduling. Since my motorcycle is my daily commuter, they worked with me to find an appointment that wouldn't interfere with my schedule. Luckily, I ended up being able to bring it in on one of my days off, and everything worked out perfectly. The whole crew at TokyoMoto was friendly, responsive, professional, and transparent throughout the entire process. My bike came back riding great, and I genuinely appreciate the work they did. They've definitely earned my trust, and TokyoMoto will be one of the first places I call whenever my bike needs service in the future.

Shortly after, my bike was still stalling. I called them back and spoke with the owner, Shawn, who wanted to make it right and personally came out to my place and kept my bike for a few weeks to try and replicate the situation. The entire time he had it, he would give me updates.As it turns out, it was just me being a noob and not using the fuel reserve correctly. Shawn was very helpful and professional throughout the whole interaction; I was only charged for the cost of fuel. This kind of customer service is almost unheard of, and I will not be buying/ servicing a motorcycle anywhere else. I cannot recommend them enough!

I've owned a Toyota for years, and I'm very particular about keeping up with scheduled maintenance…read more Because of that, I've spent a lot of time at the San Francisco Toyota Service Center, and my experiences there have consistently been very positive. Scheduling service is straightforward, especially online, and the overall process is efficient and predictable, which I really appreciate. I usually drop my car off early in the morning, and it's ready by the end of the day, or drop it early enough and then hang around for less than an hour before it is done. This makes it easy to work service appointments into a normal work schedule. That reliability goes a long way. What really stands out, though, is the service staff. The advisors I've worked with have been professional, courteous, and clear about what's being done and why. I've never felt rushed or talked down to, and communication has been solid from drop-off through pickup. Over time, this place has earned my trust. If you're looking for a Toyota service center in San Francisco that's organized, dependable, and staffed by people who know what they're doing, this one has treated me well.
