I neglected my 1994 883 because I bought a Softail Slim a few years ago, has been sitting for a couple of years. After installing new battery, new plugs and draining the gas tank, it would not start. I suspected the carburetor needed to be rebuilt. I called Harley of Sacramento and I was told they don't work on bikes older than 10 years old, they recommended Midcal. Midcal gave me estimate over the phone for a carb rebuild, very good price. They fixed in a matter of days. They showed me the clogged jets. Great customer service. Bike ran like a champ, in love with this bike again. This will be my go-to bike shop, have your bike fixed there.

Great experience! Saved me money from what A&S wanted. The work: install two new tires for my BMW S1000. They were fast, good and thorough. This place has heart and are working on all their certifications. What i really loved was the heartfelt story the owner told me about how he is recruiting and training new mechanics and investing in their education/certifications . This is the kind if place I truly love supporting! Watch out A&S you have competition in west sacramento!

I brought my bike to them to install heated hand grips, and what should have been a simple and easy installation turned into an ordeal because of previous unrelated work done by another shop. Bruce and Joe had to call to get new wiring harnesses, rewire the harness through the handlebars, and clean up some sloppy wiring. In the end, they were able to get the job done RIGHT and PROPERLY. They also installed a new adjustable clutch lever and were kind enough to clean my chrome pipes with some steel wool where my pants got burnt on them. I would highly recommend them if you own a Harley.

Midcal installed new Pirelli Angel GTs I provided on my 1996 BMW R850R

Last week, I called several shops for advice on a new set of tires for my 1996 BMW R850R. No shop had a matching set of tires on hand, but the guy who answered the phone at Midcal checked his inventory twice and spent some time on the computer to see if he could order what I needed. When he came up empty, he suggested buying the tires online and having the shop install them. I had already done some research and asked for his opinion on the Pirelli Angel GTs I was favoring. We talked pros and cons on tires I was buying from someone else! I scheduled an appointment and brought my tires in. During a ride the previous week, a friend mentioned my rear brake pads looked like they needed replacing. So I asked Midcal to check it out and replace if needed. Later that day, my bike is ready and I'm told my brake pads are practically brand new. They could have just said it needed to be done. Great service, integrity, and I even got advice on breaking in my new tires. Super happy with the experience. Thanks Midcal!

I love this place. I own four custom bikes and they are all taken care of by Midcal. Bruce, Lewis, and everyone else are friendly, master technicians, and most importantly honest. I would never take my bikes anywhere else. My experience with motorcycle repair is that if you take your bike to the dealership they will find something wrong with it. If you take it to Midcal they will tell you the truth and fix it. You will pay at least half of what you would at the dealership.

Bought a new to me motorcycle that has been sitting for 2+ years. Brought her in so these guys can take a look. Found out that my breaks are bad because dude used a different oil and the lines and cylinder are filled with gunk. They provided pics and even showed me the old parts. Thankful for these guys for no bullshit. They told me what I needed and how to fix it. Fix it they did. For being a business they told me that if it ain't broke don't fix it. That's really all I need to say. Any future maintenance or mods I will definitely be back. Thanks midcal.

These guys a great! I thought I knew what the issue was with my bike, but I was totally wrong. It turned out it really wasn't worth fixing because of what it would cost. so they ended up just buying the bike off of me, which saved me a huge hassle. I forgot what the guys name is, but he made sure I knew what was going on with the bike, took me back in the shop to look at it while it was all apart and really educated me on the issue.

Took my road glide in to be FIXED for the 2nd and 4th gears were slipping. They charged $270 for diagnostic, $589 for clutch kit, $67 to tighten 2 riser bolts, $67 to put on a $3 bracket, overfilled my oil, put a hole in my exaust, put a used filter on my bike, kept my bike for 4 weeks, and had the gall to charge me $1000. They called saying my bike was ready, stating it was test driven, I started my bike after paying, didn't even make it out the driveway, only had 1 operational gear, my bike was smoking and knocking as if they intentionally ran it hot. They intentionally over filled my bike with oil, in which overfilling it makes it smoke. They put a hole in my exaust, for whatever reasons, not to mention my saddle bags were loose. Paint was chipped up, cracked and used air filter and cover, but were charged $272 for new filter and cover. First off any shop that does any diagnosis would know what to exactly what to fix. Second these people really don't want to see US on Harley Davidson bikes. Third they're all liers. Yes I did get a full refund that same day, but my bike absolutely came in this shop better than it left. Had to get my bike towed from that place... My advice, if you're an African American be prepared to be overcharged, crappy work, and lied to. DO NOT GO TO MID CAL MOTORCYCLE. You'll be sorry!

As fate would have it, I took the car to the dealership for a recall and they discovered that one of the tires had a small bubble. I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to celebrate almost two years with the car by treating her to some new tires. I reached out to Chris who quoted me $1,200 (including manufacture warranty) for four thick profiled performance tires, which was $1,300 cheaper than the quote that I received from the dealer. Chris quickly placed the order for the tires and called me the next day to inform me that they had arrived. Since the establishment is generally very busy on the weekends, I decided to visit on a weekday in hopes for a quicker experience. Thankfully, there was only one car ahead of me when I arrived. Chris instructed me to pull the car into the shop and immediately began removing the tires (I'm always impressed by a hands-on owner). Less than 30 minutes later, the job was done and I was in the office checking out. As Chris implied, I can confirm that the ride quality of my car has significantly improved. I have been a customer for seven years and have referred many friends and family to the shop. If you're looking for competitive prices and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend visiting South West Tire Shop!

I was in town and happened to need a new set of tires. I called around and ultimately decided to go…read morewith Sean because he was knowledgeable about the tires, presented his opinions, and offered a solid deal. Sean is a hardworking guy, he went the extra mile to special order and pick up my tires same day because I was coming from the bay area and needed tires the same day to before I went back. It was a great deal however one hiccup was that he forgot to print out the readings on my alignment. This serves pretty much as proof that there was actually an adjustment and that it was done within spec of the car manufacturer. Since I was getting this job done for a friend it was very important to me to get the printed specs. I was told that the print out would be in the car and didn't think anything of it until I got on the freeway and wanted to take a look while sitting in traffic. There was no print out so I had to call back and ask about it. The awesome thing is that he said I could come back at some point to get the alignment redone again to get the readout. Really good guy to work with. Just bring an extra blanket for the waiting room because it's ice cold!

Absolutely terrible experience. Wasted over two hours at this shop just to charge two tires, only…read moreto find out they installed the WRONG tire size on my vehicle without even telling me. How do you run a tire shop and not verify something as basic as the correct tire size before installation? On top of that, the main guy there was extremely rude and had a terrible attitude the entire time. Instead of being helpful or owning up to the mistake, he made the whole experience even worse. Do not try this place.

What was most disappointing wasn't even the noise itself--it was the response when I returned to the shop. I was told that "all cars do that" and that I would need to pay for a diagnostic. No one offered to recheck the wheel installation, inspect their work, or verify that the vehicle was safe to drive. I'm not claiming the shop caused the problem, but mistakes can happen during any service. Tire installations and rotations involve human work, and I expected at least a basic inspection when a new noise appeared immediately after the service. Instead, my concerns were dismissed. As a customer, it's frustrating to leave wondering whether the vehicle is safe to drive and feeling like no effort was made to investigate the issue. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this shop. Don't go here please go across the street your safety is very important!!!!! Thank you for your response. To clarify, my concern was never that a tire rotation requires disassembly of suspension or steering components. My concern was that a knocking noise appeared immediately after the tire installation and rotation, despite the vehicle not exhibiting this symptom beforehand. I did not ask for a free suspension diagnosis. I asked that the shop verify the work that had just been performed. As a customer, I expected basic checks such as wheel torque, wheel seating, and tire clearance before being directed toward a paid diagnostic service. Had someone simply said, "Let's double-check our work first and make sure everything related to the tire service looks correct," I likely would have had a very different impression of the experience. I understand that the noise may ultimately be unrelated to the tire service. However, when a new symptom appears immediately after service, I believe it is reasonable for a customer to expect the work performed to be verified before additional charges are discussed. I we genuinely looking for a place to take my business fleet and thought I found one
