I love driving a scooter as a second family vehicle for fun and errands around town, I always store…read moremy scooter in winter, and I really wanted a Vespa after years of driving other brands of scooters that eventually break down. Motoworks has Vespas, so I went there. This place is high end and they clearly expect high end customers but I'm a teacher and not rich, so I hoped for some financing, much as I might if I bought a car. Motoworks encourages you to apply for financing online with a soft pull to your credit, and make an appointment beforehand to visit the showroom, so I arrived expecting an easy go of it. Happy to report sales people were enthusiastic about all their bikes when I got there, and never tried to upsell me. I appreciated that there was space to make decisions. Getting started was fine, and picking out the bike was positive. Nina encouraged me to try out different bikes on the floor until I felt comfortable, and I felt good about the bike I picked. All the people on the floor were friendly and helpful. Then things got weird. I sat around for two hours waiting to hear about financing paperwork for a 5k purchase. Nobody there gave me any insight about interest rates, expectations for money down, or even quoting a price besides the sticker amount. I was finally presented with a printout where they financed half if I paid cash for the other half, on the spot. Purchase price by then was up to 9k after taxes, freight fees, and a murky $800 "maintenance package" that had no details on paper. I wanted to leave the shop and come back the next day with my ducks in a row about the 4K cash from me, but of course they don't want you to leave. Finance lady suggested I ask the "gal" I came in with to help pay with a card. Then she asked if we were married, and told me it was OK to ask my wife to help me pay because our money was shared anyway. Thankfully my "gal" did step up with a second card, but it was an awkward surprise that didn't need to be so weird and nervy. At that point Finance lady was feeling ill, so Finance man came in to finish the sale. Finance man spoke curtly to me about parking bike on street. Finance lady offered me theft program. Why? Did they assume I lived in a bad neighborhood because I parked on the street? Plenty of people park scooters on the street all over Chicago. By now I am thoroughly rattled. After that I finally walked out and got the bike. Bike is stunning and peppy. Sales people were kind as I left. Financing guy provided registration and a plate for me to drive home with. Nina filled the bike with gas, showed me how to use the key, gave me a tee shirt, and gave me a hug before I drove off. Great stock, huge shop, and outstanding salespeople, but do your own financing before you go pick out one of these spectacular bikes.

I felt like a team was taking care of me, not an individual salesperson. The sales price was better than I found anywhere else. The ease and transparency of traveling from New York to pick up the bike at their Chicago location was greatly appreciated. They even arranged to deliver the bike to my son's house in the western suburbs at no additional charge. Nothing but nice things to say about my experience. And what a great bike. It's beautiful and came in at a killer price. Thank you Motoworks!

Scooterworks is an honest, straightforward shop with excellent sales and service. Nate is friendly,…read morehelpful, and genuinely intellectually engaged when it comes to keeping scooters running and performing well. He was always ready to find parts for my 2014 Stella, and kept her running at top speed for years. They sell and service Buddies and all kinds of other brands as well. You can ride by with any question or issue and somebody will help you right away. Sometimes they'll even work on your scooter while you wait. They always try to save you money, and will wait on things they could easily collect for if they think you don't need them done yet, like tuneups or new batteries. I store my bike here every winter, and they have all the maintenance done when you pick up in spring. They don't sell Vespas, sadly, but they do service them, and I can't recommend them highly enough. They are real cycling enthusiasts.

Vince is a great dude. You can tell he loves his job and loves talking scoots. He remains completely neutral on his advice and won't force you into a sale.

I brought my Ducati in for a general inspection, which cost $170. It took about 15 days and several follow-up phone calls before I finally received the diagnosis. By then, I picked up my bike after waiting two weeks. They emailed me a list of recommended repairs and instructed me to check off the work I wanted done. I replied... and then heard nothing for over two months. What really bothered me, though, was their approach to repairs. One item on the inspection was loose heated grips. Yes, they were loose, but they were still in excellent condition. Their recommendation? Replace the entire set. An honest mechanic would have said, "We can probably fix that with a $5 tube of grip glue and save you a few hundred dollars." Instead, the solution was to replace perfectly good heated grips. My Ducati is due for a Desmo service soon, which typically costs $1,200-$1,800. After this experience, I'll be taking my bike somewhere else.

Now I want to cover the real value. I am a 60-year-old beginner who recently took a two day motorcycle rider safety class in preparation for the road test. I'm not afraid to acknowledge that I am an over thinker, which sometimes results in a bit of anxiety. Marty and Carlos found a way to meet me where I was in terms of capability and mindset. Yes, they were great instructors. Yes, I passed the test. That is not what made my experience great. Marty and Carlos made it great by meeting me at a human level with caring and kindness until I was ready to go take the test. As always seems to be the case, the people make the difference. I highly recommend utilizing their service and working with these guys. You won't be disappointed.

Not only do they do shoddy work, they also bill for things that weren't done, and remove parts for no reason other than to photograph them and put them back in without fixing them.

I'm unfortunately updating my previous positive review after a disappointing experience regarding…read morethe 600-mile service on my 2025 BMW S1000RR. To be clear, the service itself was completed professionally and I paid the $420 bill without issue. My frustration is not about paying for maintenance -- it's about feeling misled throughout the process and disappointed by the lack of customer care. When I purchased the bike brand new, I was told the first 600-mile service was included. Because of the Midwest riding season and winter storage, I didn't hit the mileage until later. During visits in January and March, I specifically asked if I could bring the bike in early for service since I was still under the mileage requirement at the time. I was told no and that the bike needed to be at least around 550 miles before the service could be performed. Now, after completing and paying for the service, I was informed that as of January 2026 the bike actually could have been brought in as early as 350 miles. That was extremely frustrating to hear because it directly contradicted what I had been told previously when I made efforts to schedule the service earlier. Had I been given accurate and consistent information from the beginning, this entire situation could have been avoided. What also disappointed me was that the 6-month limitation was never strongly emphasized during purchase or during my follow-up visits. Most dealerships that value long-term relationships would at least provide a courtesy reminder or better guidance regarding an important warranty/service deadline, especially for customers who actively service and purchase through them regularly. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. I completely understand dealerships have policies and need to run a business, but consistency and customer communication matter. I've purchased and serviced 3 BMW motorcycles through them, regularly bought riding gear there, tipped staff generously, and even referred multiple customers who ended up purchasing bikes from them. I genuinely believed I was building a long-term relationship with this dealership. In fact, I was seriously considering purchasing a new M1000R from them as my next bike, but after this experience, I've decided I'll be taking my business elsewhere. This review is not directed at any one employee personally, but rather the overall handling of the situation and lack of customer goodwill. Very disappointing experience from a dealership I previously spoke highly of.

They are amazing and you'd never know that this is the most active BMW dealership in the state. The service department has consistently given me precise diagnostic work, clear estimates, and meticulous documentation of all maintenance, from valve adjustments and final drive service to complex electrical troubleshooting and software updates including when I messed my electrical system up bad by installing an LED nightlight system on it. Their technicians treat older oilheads and newer water-cooled models with equal competence, use OEM parts unless I request alternatives, and always torque to spec and log service intervals so my maintenance history is complete and easy to reference. I sold that 1200 with all its maintenance paperwork and bought an R18. Turnaround times are accurate, communication is proactive (calls, texts, and photos when needed), and they're transparent about what is urgent versus what can wait, which makes long-term ownership planning honest and straightforward. The parts guy and his counter is efficient, knows microfiche and part supersessions cold, and can usually get obscure components within a couple of days. Overall, the operation feels like a high-volume shop in terms of capability and inventory, but with the attention to detail and personal familiarity of a small, specialist BMW-only garage. Do NOT ignore the huge selection of used bikes of EVERY MAKE that they've serviced and, many times, have rebuilt. Their inventory is ENORMOUS and their prices are below market (I am constantly amazed at their below market deals).
