First of all I'm not into leaving bad reviews, but I felt so ripped off I had to. I really wanted to have a good experience here because the workers seemed cool and honest, but unfortunately my overall experience with this shop left me very disappointed. I spent a little over $800 for them to "rebuild my carb." Less than two months later the carb went bad again. Out of frustration, I took it apart myself and realized that not all the parts had even been replaced--just the jets. For the price I paid, I expected a proper rebuild with all worn parts addressed, not just a quick patch job. The main issue I had was with the owner, Charlie. Every time I checked in on the bike, he would throw out a new number -- "oh, $200 for this, $200 for that, extra hours for this" -- but I was never given a clear breakdown or proof of where those costs came from. In the end, they did small things like tightening my primary chain and starter, but nothing that justified $800. Charlie told me he spent more than five hours "troubleshooting" an electrical issue that still wasn't fixed, and at $250/hour, I think that's way overpriced -- especially when I didn't see results. The crew in the shop seemed like good guys, but the way Charlie handled the pricing and communication left me feeling taken advantage of. For the amount I paid, I expected my bike to be in good running condition, and instead I'm back to square one doing the repairs myself. I would recommend getting everything in writing and asking for a detailed breakdown before agreeing to any work here. read more

Great service ...Tinker did a great job on my exhaust and the job was done on time for a good price . I will be back.

It started it out as $480 when I first talked to Tinker..then it jumped to $580.. He was to remove the cat and make it loud.. It sounds better than stock at idle but sounds like a Honda Goldwing when on the throttle. I got suckered ..this one is on me ..there won't be a next.. read more

I showed up yesterday with a huge safety issue ,and not only did they save me money, but they got me on the road with the most urgency (so I made it to work on time )at the best price I've ever heard of and went above and beyond by modifying my existing part to be reliable and solid so I didn't have to spend almost half a grand just to replace it. I will definitely be coming back just for the work quality alone. I could not be more impressed and grateful for this shop I will definitely be recommending my friends here especially because they are used to dealing with custom bikes-Zach read more

Jeff was the gentleman I interacted with. Great guy, no hidden fees, great work. Bring cash with you!!! I didn't know they only took cash so I had to walk over to liquor store ATM and withdraw there. Onto the work... I am someone who enjoys working on my cars and motorcycles and for the most part know my way around them pretty well but for mounting and installing passenger pegs which did not come stock on my Harley Iron 883, I knew I did not have the tools and did not want to buy specific tools I'd only need once. I installed the seat and sissy bar myself but I knew installing the pegs would be a pain in the ass. Jeff was a straight up dude, gave me an exact quote and told me to come back in an hour. Sure enough, it was finished as promised and saved me a heck of a lot of time than me trying to install myself. Good service, price, and I enjoyed my interactions with Jeff, he's a cool dude. read more

Good Time Charlie's is the best. I've had my bike there a couple of times for work and they do great work. I had an insert pull out from my fairing and Harley said i needed a new fairing. Charlie fixes the insert and saved me from having to buy a new fairing. Yep I'll never go back to Harley or those big shops. Charlie has my business!! Do yourself a favor and take ur bike to Charlie. He will take care of you read more

It's hard to find a motorcycle company that gives a damn. Charlie and his boys are SOLID as they get. They helped me out when others couldn't. Broke down 50miles from home and Charlie made sure I was taken care of like I was part of his team. The way he takes care of his customers and the integrity of their service is unmatched. Check here first before looking elsewhere. read more

The shop took in my Gilroy Indian Scout. did some carb work, adjusted fluid levels, and got me back rolling. I will most certainly bring my bike back for other repairs/service/, and all add on material. Good shop, good service, good people. read more

Had to replace the bolts holding my side bags on my 2012 victory 3 times before coming here. They were very informative and knew what they were talking about on finding a solution to the problem. They resolved the issue and it is running great. Jeff is the man!! He hooked it up and showed me the after, what was done how it was done. Parts had to be fabricated which they did an amazing job on. read more

Been here on multiple occasions for odds and ends. Both men who work here have always been willing to help and give good advice. I always leave feeling good about my purchase, something that's not so common these days. Not only do they have what I usually need but they'll spare a minute or two to hear me out or point me in the right direction as far as trouble shooting my problem. Good solid shop. read more

I feel it's important to say that I am a woman and bring a woman's perspective for this review because, as I had the misfortune of learning, a lot of shops do not welcome women--especially novice riders. I'm a late comer to the world of riding. I bought my used 2017 Iron 883 Sportster as a gift to myself, and as a challenge to learn something new and exciting. Needless to say I know very little to practically NOTHING about motorcycles. Having just a few months of practice under my belt (buzzing around parking lots in 2nd for a while), I knew just enough to recognize the sounds that my bike makes and the ones that it shouldn't. Being that I'm a complete novice, I wanted to have my bike looked at from front tire to back before taking her on the street. I visited a couple shops that advertised as Harley experts. I even reached out to the place I bought my bike--Bert's Mega Mall and even Laidlaw's. Sadly, shops treated me like I wasn't worth their time. I did my best to describe what was happening and what my concerns were with the little knowledge I had. They were dismissive at best, but mostly just rude and curt. Bert's doesn't even service Harley's which makes me wonder what condition my bike was since I bought it used from them. Laidlaw just made me feel like any other person--which I am, but I was hoping that they would have lived up to the Laidlaw reputation and represented Harley in a better light. Recognizing my need for a good start and minimal experience. It was not a good experience. Finally, I went to Charlie's. I was fortunate to have met with Charlie my first time in. He was so very welcoming and supportive of my new interest in riding. He gave me riding tips, encouragement, and most importantly, made me feel like a person. I was comfortable in my ignorance whereas the other places just made me feel ignorant-- believe it or not, there is a difference. He said he could look at my bike as soon as the next week. This motivated me to get my permit the very next day so that I could ride my bike into his shop! And I did just that! I met with Jeff who was equally as kind and helpful. It was obvious from how I could barely ride into the driveway without taking out the other parked bikes, that it was my first time on my bike on the public streets. Unlike the other places I visited, Jeff never made me feel inadequate or treat me like I was anything less than a "fellow rider." It felt good to be there. He took it for a short ride, checked some quick possible issues, and decided he needed to keep it for a closer look. I'm SO HAPPY to have found Good Time Charlie's and have no problem recommending anyone regardless of riding experience or motorcycle knowledge to bring their bike to Charlie and Jeff. THIS is how you build faithful customers and treat people. My first ride was to Charlie's but it definitely won't be my last! I've already done the leg work. Don't go anywhere else but here! read more

The entire crew over at Good Time Charlie's are all friendly, knowledgeable class acts. I've been to a ton of shops, and usually you get stuck with rude, condescending mechanics. From the minute I rode in, they took the time to understand what it was I needed, and then thoroughly explain what needed to get done. I learned a ton in just one hour with the guys. Charlie's crew, Jeff and Brandon embody hard working American values. I highly recommend this shop, and will be giving them all my Harley business moving forward. Affordable, honest, and genuine. Appreciate it, fellas. read more

I can't recommend this shop enough! Charlie is a solid guy that definitely knows his way around bikes. I brought my sportster there and it came out of his shop way better than it went in. Charlie took the time to listen to my concerns and what needed to get done and took care of everything. Whether it was the maintenance portion or the upgrades he did, all the work was amazing! Bringing another bike in for work this week as well. Don't waste time with searching for a great mechanic and reliable shop, hit up Charlie! read more

This great shop was referred to me by Mike the owner if In the Wind Motorcycle Accessories Shop in Old Town Covina. If you need an honest, straightforward and "get it done" shop, Charlie's is it. Took my 46 Flathead there with a number of problems and they fixed each one, thorough and quickly. They also came up with a great solution for my rusted tank. Brandon did my work but had great input from Charlie and Jeff. Look hard for the location, it's an old school type motorcycle garage. Best to look for bikes that are always parked out front. Don't miss this place. You will not be disappointed. read more

I came out to LA from Oregon to ride my Harley for a week. Bike started giving me issues and a friend took me to Charlie's to see whats going on. I explained the situation, that I'm here to ride for a short period of time and what I've previously done to the bike and described the issue I was having. The bike was put up on the lift right away and the problem was found shortly after. Turns out transmission bearing failed. Charlie showed and explained how transmission works so I also learned a ton. That was a bigger job than I originally anticipated but they took care of my bike and got me back on the road with plenty of time left to enjoy that California weather. Bike feels better than ever. Outstanding service, knowledgeable people 10/10. Will definitely recommend for your Harley needs. read more

I took my Harley to Good Time Charlies at the recommendation of an acquaintance who does business with them. I had recently had a Harley dealer perform major work on my bike, but it did not perform to my satisfaction. I was not to happy with the performance of my bike-therefore took it to Good Time Charlies. Jeff made all the necessary repairs and explained everything that was wrong with my bike. My bike now rides better then ever. I appreciated Jeff's knowledge of my Harley, as well as his friendly and professional demeanor. Al Garcia Covina read more

Was introduced to Charlie in 1991. 27 years he has been servicing my Harley's. He must be doing something right. Reasonable prices, great service, makes a commitment and stands behind his work. Doesn't make a difference if it's an Pan, shovel head or Milwaukee eight. If it's a Harley, Charlie and his crew works on it. read more

I was out of town and my HD Road King wouldn't start. Got the bike to Good Time Charlies where Charlie and Jeff had it repaired within about two hours. These two gentlemen are exactly that: gentlemen who are professional, skilled, honest, reasonable, and polite. They took the time to explain everything they had to do, showed me which parts had to be replaced, and made suggestions for future maintenance. If I was living in Southern California, no doubt this would be my bike's repair shop! read more

While working on my 2007 HD Sportster, I ran into an electrical issue that I couldn't troubleshoot. I found Good Time Charlies on Yelp and gave them a call.

They were professional and very respectful. I will definitely be supporting this local Harley shop in the future. read more

I have an '18 SG. Was hearing a knocking sound coming from my tranny. Was hesitant on stopping by but passed by Charlie's all the time. I definitely didn't have the $$$ that a dealer would charge so I asked a neighbor that works on older Harleys but he didn't know how to start to work on mine. So I asked him what he thinks and Charlie's, he told me that Charlie is well known especially in the area and he knows Charlie for being an honest mechanic. So I called and Charlie answered and told me he was alitte busy but to come in on Wednesday, which it was Monday, he told me come in at 930am. Come Wednesday I get there meet Charlie and his buddy and instantly felt comfortable. He told me what he thinks I may be but wasnt sure unless he gives it a look over and give him a couple days. So I left it. Later that afternoon his mechanic Jeff called and told me to come down. He showed me what was wrong and a couple days after that I got my baby back and running GREAT!! Charlie and his crew are a great bunch of old school guys that know what they are doing and go the extra mile to get the job done right. Saved me some$$$. That's Charlie. PS I even picked up a nickname from Charlie, Bigfoot. read more

Not very often when 1 shop refers you to another shop. In this case I'm glad the 1st shop also had my best interest in mind when they referred me to Charlie! I brought my rear wheel in because it had a broken pulley bolt in the thread, not good! Charlie and his Team inspected it and offered up a few options, turned out they were able remove the bolt with the 1st option. Charlie was great about calling to update me, he also noticed the axle spacer was incorrect and would cause problems if not corrected. He really had my safety and best interest as a priority. For being a new Harley owner, it was reassuring to know that shops like this exist in the area. Very knowledgeable, very welcoming, very personable and certainly delivers results! I've found my new Harley shop! Thanks again Charlie & Team read more
