Vespa sold!

Freddie delivered hands-down the best customer service experience I've ever had. After struggling to sell my Vespa on my own for two years, he completely transformed what felt like an impossible situation into an effortless one. Freddie took care of everything the tow, professional marketing, and every detail in between, while keeping me consistently informed at every step of the process. I chose consignment to get the highest value, and it was 100% worth it thanks to Freddie's expertise. He went above and beyond and truly cares about his clients. If you want a seamless, stress-free experience and top dollar for your vehicle, Freddie is the absolute best!

Worked with Alfie to get my bike tuned, he was happy to help with all my questions. Will definitely be bringing my XR back when we I need more work done.

It was 1am and two planes came in so there was a long line. But our rep. Upgraded me. Ok. Not what I wanted but I know that's when they no longer have my size car available. So what of it was going to cost me more in gas. But this is what has turned me off to them completely I drive out if the lot and got twenty miles away before the alert came on that tire pressure in the rear tire was at 18 psi. Okay maybe I hit a nail but I didn't think so. But we were too far away and stuck in traffic to turn around. We made it to our hiotel an hour away and that's when I noticed the key fob said in blah black letters FLAT TIRE. YES it was marked for having a flat !! I have spent probably a combined 90 minutes calling and being disconnected over and over. I called the emergency service number and they were no help at all! I brought the car to a tire shop to have air put in and they told me there was a screw in the tire! When I got back I then called the emergency number and finally got through. There was nothing she could do unless I wanted to drive the 95 minutes back to the airport and exchange it. I told her this was not going to happen so then she told me to call around to the tire stores, maybe they would fix it for free- FOR FREE! That is what she actually told me. I'm done with them. I have had Hertz try to double bill me, charge me extra because my wife might drive the car and the even once sneak in the insurance coverage !! They used to say in their ads they were number one. I can not see how that would be true today. Stay away from them wherever you're traveling. I would rather pay a little more and have the confidence in who I'll use next time.

I needed to rent a motorcycle for my DMV skills test and found Tom on Google. He was right on time…read moreand super helpful from the beginning. He guided me through the whole process over text and also walked me through everything at the DMV on test day. Very easy to talk to and genuinely supportive. I have over 20 years of riding experience in another country, but the DMV test is honestly not that easy. Tom helped a lot by explaining exactly what to expect and pointing out common mistakes. Some tips for anyone planning to take the DMV route instead of the California Safety Program (which now costs around $425 and doesn't guarantee a pass): Book your skills test appointment before taking the written test - DMV appointments can take a few weeks, and you can schedule the skills test in advance. Make sure you study the motorcycle-specific handbook for the written test (it's different from the regular driver's handbook). Try doing a practice session with Tom before your actual test. Even 30 minutes helps you get comfortable with the test layout and know where you stand. The DMV test circle is slightly sloped, so be prepared. Bring your own helmet if you have one - better fit and better hygiene. Highly recommend Tom if you want a smooth, stress-free motorcycle DMV test experience.

I would highly recommend this business. Tom showed up early was very helpful and encouraging. I…read morewas really nervous so that really helped. His motorcycle is perfect for the drivers test. Super light and easy to control... I passed first try. THANKS TOM!!

From that point, the experience was unacceptable. The jet ski sat at their facility for 10 months, left outside and uncovered, exposed to the elements. There was no urgency, no communication, and no basic care for customer property. Instead of standing behind the product, they pushed me to pay $9,500+ for a replacement engine, despite the extremely low hours. They also supported a claim that the spark plug in the engine was not original at the time of failure ,which is not accurate and this contributed directly to the denial of both warranty and insurance. Because I lost trust, I sourced my own replacement engine (18 hours) and shipped it to them. It then took another 3 months just to install it. When I picked up the jet ski: * The trailer hitch was damaged * The electrical adapter was missing * The cooling system had 0% coolant (which could have destroyed the engine again immediately) * My new lithium battery was missing, replaced with an old 2020 battery * The jet pump assembly was shaking, indicating improper installation I was told missing items would be sent to me. Nothing was sent. After waiting over a month, I had to purchase everything myself. Now I have to take the jet ski to another shop to correct the issues. Bottom line: This was not just poor service -- it was negligence, lack of accountability, and unprofessional handling of a major repair. I strongly recommend thinking twice before trusting this shop with your equipment.

He was very friendly, yet professional. Met him in the parking lot near Lake Merced and the Zoo. When we arrived, he already had the motorcycles unloaded from the trailer and waiting. In our case, my friend and I booked a lesson for just the two of us. Since she is all of 5'2" on a good day, Jonathan selected the low-rider Honda rebel for her. Since I am quite tall, I was given a tall, rough and ready dirt bike (believe it was a suzuki). Both bikes were in good shape. Over the course of the two days, we took two 2-hour classes back to back. Neither of us had any prior experience. By the end of the second class, we had learned to properly mount and start the bikes, shift up and down from 1-3 gear, perform turns to the left and right through a series of traffic cones. I am excited for my next lesson - which happens to be scheduled for today! Highly recommend!

The smaller the bike the easier it is to do this test. I am an experience rider, more than 10 years, but relocating from Canada to California, DMV requires me to redo all of my tests. I have my own motorcycle, but I repeat my self, go for a smaller bike, you will have all the time in the world to show off on your own bike. Bay Rider's Group is renting a small Nighthawk 250cc, it is perfect for the test. Yes you will look like a giant on it, but the circle on the circuit will look big on that bike. The bike is not new, but you will ride it only for 1h and 5 minutes :) 1h practice and 5 minutes test.

I've been riding scooters for 20 years in SF as my main transportation for work. 18 months ago I was referred to Moto Java because my scooter was about to die and I'd need a replacement soon. Mike, Ben and their team at Moto Java gave me an honest assessment about what needed to be fixed, gave me an itemized invoice showing me it'd be better I traded my old scooter for parts and bought something new. They appreciated I was an experienced rider, knew what I wanted and didn't try to oversell me on something I didn't want and gave me a fair price for my trade in. My previous scooter dealers/mechanics have given me a wide range of mileage for routine maintenance. Mike and Ben gave me an easy, clear number to remember so I bring my scooter in for routine maintenance based on the specific scooter I bought. Every time I call for an appointment Moto Java gets me in fast and finishes earlier than estimated. They also give me an itemized receipt of what was done and a heads up to what the next maintenance bill will cost so I'm not caught off guard. My review is based on my scooter that I bought from Moto Java. However I know they sell and service and sell a variety of motorcycles like long range highway motorcycles to mountain bikes to scooters. Moto Java is easily accessible off S Van Ness. Mike and Ben are always up for a chat about what they sell, no pressure sales and offer honest estimates about any repairs you might need. Definitely check out Moto Java.
