Excellent communication, mechanical curiosity and truly above-and-beyond service. Five stars without hesitation--I would absolutely trust this shop again.

DC-10, I should have left a review years ago…read more.... Folks, here's an honest review from one happy customer and someone who's known Doug for many years. 40+ yrs Doug is a sweet, down to earth gentlemen that knows his $h!t on just about everything. He can work on bicycles that many know him by, but he is so much more on motorcycles, race bikes, off road bikes and quads. Not many know he is a Salinas native whom at one time was an AMA Super-bike Champion Bad A$$ that toured the world.... I am honored to have him as my personal mechanic on my 93 GSXR 1100 for all my personal needs. I trust NO ONE to work on my toys but rest assured you can trust Doug to get things running right and done right the first time. His prices are comparable and knowing whatever he works on, you can rest easy knowing he treats it as his own. I've gone to other bike shops in Salinas, Monterey, Seaside, San Jose and non compare to the respect and quality of service I get from DC-10. I highly recommend Doug and his DC-10 shop for all your motorcycle repairs and needs. Loyalty, Honesty, Trustworthy, Workmanship. Five stars for me and a customer for life. Thanks DC-10 for all you do !!!

Disappointing Experience and Poor Customer Service…read more I had my bike set up at AMG Cyclery and paid for three hours of labor to swap out my SRAM components. Unfortunately, the quality of the work and the customer service were very disappointing. When I picked up my bike, I discovered several issues that should not have been overlooked. The front tire had been installed backward, the Aero Drops handlebars were set at different widths--40 mm on the right side and 37.5 mm on the left--and the brake bleed had not been completed properly when I picked up the bike. The shop corrected the front tire issue, which I appreciated. However, when I brought up the uneven handlebar widths, I was told I would have to pay additional labor to have the bar tape removed and rewrapped to correct the problem. Considering I had already paid for three hours of labor, I found this response unacceptable. These issues occurred during the work the shop was paid to perform, and I expected the bike to be returned properly assembled, adjusted, and ready to ride. Having to pay extra to correct an installation issue that should have been caught in the first place is not the level of service I expect from a professional bike shop. This experience has significantly impacted my trust in AMG Cyclery. I was hoping to establish a long-term relationship with the shop, but the workmanship and the response to my concerns have changed that. I will no longer use AMG Cyclery as my primary bike shop, and based on my experience, I cannot recommend it to other cyclists. Good customer service means taking responsibility for mistakes and making things right, especially when a customer has already paid for the work. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here

We had a fantastic time with Cathy on our tour of Carmel by the Sea. They have a few different…read moretours so make sure you know which one you booked as all start from the same place and (from what I could tell...) same time. Cathy actually texted me the night before to introduce herself and provide a few instructions and tips. A key tip is bring water and a small back pack or fanny pack to put the bottle in. The bikes don't all have baskets and the baskets don't hold things very well. So you might also bring a small bungee cord to keep things "in the basket" should you get a bike with a basket. Check in was a breeze. The most "difficult" part of the whole tour was finding helmets that fit and sizing the bike seats There were 6 in our tour. We left right on time at 10 and got back at 12:45. We stopped multiple times for photo ops and to look at different properties. We even got to walk through the La Playa hotel which is a beautiful property! I loved seeing and learning about the Comstock homes and the fact that the homes in Carmel by the Sea do not have street addresses. (They will soon as a new reg has passed that every property now needs a proper address... Not just a name.) All in all, I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the tour very much. I don't ride bikes often anymore as an adult and this was the first time riding an E-Bike. The learning curve is easy once you know the difference between Eco, Sport and Turbo. I enjoyed it and it made the tour almost effortless. Highly recommend Mad Dogs! Note....the coffee shop is just up around the corner. You cannot access it directly from the bike shop.

Light and Motion make, IMHO, the absolute best video camera underwater housings on the market…read more I've owned several, and I NEVER have to worry about leaks (certainly the typical #1 worry...."let's take a $1000+ camera and put it in salt water"). L&M housings have several features that I love: - electronic controls. This minimizes the # of o-rings (and holes) in the housing....and provides access to most of the cameras functions. In my system, the right grip buttons control the video, the left grip controls photography (as a general rule). - external monitor. This means you have a nice big screen (relatively speaking) to look at as you shoot. - bulletproof (again, relatively) machined aluminum housing, with double o-ring seals for the back door. - red filter built in. - GREAT light options - camera grip controls lights on/off (VERY cool and convenient!) The ONLY complaint I have about L&M (other than the price...you get what you pay for, but you can buy a car for what a fully equipped housing will run), is that they are in love with wet contacts. While I can, in theory, see the value of being able to change out lights underwater, I do not know of anyone who actually has done so, has plans to do so, or is doing so. So WHY do they continue to insist on this? You now have contacts that constantly have to be uber-cleaned and scrubbed so that they'll maintain electrical contacts from the battery to lights (I actually now carry nail files as part of my video equipment because of this...go figure). I definitely recommend L&M housings for your video cameras....they really are the best....one little flaw, tons of great features. You can't go wrong with them.
