I have been riding motorcycles both on-road & off-road in the East Bay area for over 60 years. I met Jose & Liz at PRO J's today, & I am impressed. Jose's professional knowledge & care about his work is outstanding. Liz has a great knowledge about motorcycles & operating a small business. I have seen many great motorcycle shops come & go in this area. From the Carquinez bridge through Berkeley & into Oakland, most of the motorcycle shops are no longer with us. PRO J's is a small, family operated, business that is conveniently located to serve the East Bay area. Dirt bikes & street bikes can be economically serviced & repaired at PRO J's. read more

I stumbled upon Pro J's Cycles after my girlfriend got into a minor motorcycle accident and decided to take a chance with them. I was greeted by Liz at the front counter who was not only very kind, patient and accommodating, but also very direct. I respect a shop that is no BS. In addition to this, their prices are somehow pretty decent compared to other shops in the area. I was skeptical (how can this shop be so good?!). Jose installed a new tire in under 15 minutes for a wheel that I brought to them. When my girlfriend's motorcycle would not shift into neutral the day before I was meeting with a new buyer - Jose and Liz saved my butt. They were direct, gave a rough quote and a timeline so my expectations were met and I was not left guessing when the job would be completed. Turned out the transmission needed a new shifter fork due to the accident. In no time, this was sorted out. They gave the motorcycle an oil change and minor alignment. They were even kind enough to help us with the paperwork for the sale of the motorcycle. Everyone left happy with no surprises. If you want top notch customer service, decent pricing for the bay area and quality work - go to Pro J's. If you are willing to settle for less, pay more in the long run and probably wait a lot longer than I did - go somewhere else. Thank you, Jose and Liz! read more

I always take all my bikes that I have owned to Jose for any issue and he takes care of it. Best motorcycle mechanic in the Bay Area! I had an issue recently with my bike that I knew only Jose could fix. Within the hour he found out what was wrong with my bike and assured me that what happened with the bike was a factory defect, and furthermore gave me the best possible solutions and options to go forth. I trusted him with the process of getting my bike up and running again after I knew this was going to be a hard job that I presented him with and I was told only Jose and one other mechanic around knew how to do the job. Within the next week I received a call with updates on my bike about what parts needed to be ordered and within the next few days I received the call that my bike was ready to go! Jose and Liz are the dynamic duo and I will always continue to take my bikes here. So glad my bike is back! Excellent service, great communication, and HIGH QUALITY work from Jose. Can't tell you enough this shop is where you should bring your motorcycle for any work/issues read more

Very rude and brass, worst customer service I have ever received in my whole life and I'm not even exaggerating. Come prepared with all the info and answer every call (even if it's 8pm) or you'll get shut down and they won't service you again for not being "serious" enough. read more

Fast turn around and great customer service and care nice shop and very knowledgeable of their services Ang excellent work 10/10

Terrible experience with this shop. They diagnosed a problem with my bike and when I brought the bike home I noticed lots of broken and missing parts from their failed attempt to repair it. I can't believe they still had the audacity to charge for the service . The bike had a rattling sound when I tried to turn it over and later found out It was due to a broken spark plug . Part of the plug was still attached to the ignition coil which was where that sound was coming from. There was another plug which had been tightened so much the thread's were stretched, and the other's were barely hand tight. The shop showed total lack of integrity after I contacted them to try and resolve the situation . I feel completely deceived and ripped off from the services rendered at this shop . read more

Alright.... this is a very fair and knowledgeable shop. Jose knows his stuff and won't BS you on issues or prices. They communicate vwey well. My go to mechanic for my bike. read more

Horrible service, do not come here, They didn't finish the job. After I picked up my motorcycle for repairs, my bike started to overheat and I called and they didn't not want to make it right. Would NOT RECOMMEND!!!!! Beware read more

The customer service is amazing and the Bossman was very honest and educated me on a couple of things and have since been bringing my bike and plan on continuing thanks very much!!! read more

It was a Saturday and I needed my tires install on my bike. I called Jose, owner, and he gave me a fair quote of $90 for the installation of both tires. Customer service was professional and I was out the door with my new tires installed in less than 30 minutes. I'll be back if I need another pair of tires mounted and balanced. read more

Reply to the CEO: I was respecting your sign that says private driveway. If Jose was professional, he would have approached me when he saw me rather than just staring at me and then waving me off. Again he waved me off 3 times. A wave is not the same as a pointing gesture to park at a spot. I was not blocking the entrance as no one was behind me. I made sure people can pass me on the left. Even so, he could have approached me to see what I needed instead of just standing by the door. It's not unrealistic for someone to respect a private driveway + no u turn sign. Your parking spots were beyond the sign. Your condescending reply speaks of how you treat none "normal" people. Your account of the events is incorrect. He never told me where to park during the phone conversation, clearly. Otherwise I would have known to go beyond the private driveway sign. If this place can't even have proper signage. I don't know what to say. But what do I know? I'm just the person directly interacting with Jose not the person that has a clear view of everything from a comfy office chair inside an office Original review: I called first to see if they can service a bad stem valve and to check if I also need a new tire. The person on the phone was very easy to talk to and said to come over and he'll see if a tire replacement is needed. I get there and cannot figure out where the entrance is. Is it the smog test shop or the muffler shop/food truck entrance? So I drive into a driveway of a muffler shop and a food truck where it says private driveway no U turn. Figured out the muffler shop and pro j are in the same building. Saw someone with a pro j shirt on and came out of my vehicle. From 30 feet away he waved me off... I said I'm here for pro j and that I called. He waved me off again. I said a second time and got waved off - not even interested as to what I said. He just watched me drive off. Thanks for sparing me some bad service. And yes it's the same person in the yelp photos that waved me off. I was not lost. read more

Just finished a "full tune-up" with pro-J's and all evidence suggests that Jose's team was very conscientious in working on my bike. The turnaround was very quick and communication was quite good as well. Definitely one of the better bike mechanics in the area, i'd be surprised if i don't end up coming back to do business here again. read more

I highly recommend this shop if you need anything for your bike! I have been to Jose twice now and I plan on going back next time I need anything. I needed new tires for my GSXR 1000 and he was able to do it the same day, he also did a great job on the front fork seals. A few weeks later I came back with my SV650s, this one was a bit more complicated... I couldn't get it to start and after a month of trying to figure it out myself I realized I needed professional diagnostics from an actual mechanic, Jose figured it out in a few hours after I had it trailered there, we ordered the parts (a new fuel pump and an ECU) and now I'm all set with both my bikes running great Thanks again dude I'll see you soon I'm sure read more

I was totally impressed! I brought in my 2017 BMW RR for a tire swap out. They did a great job. Very quick and efficient, very friendly too! They offered help getting the bike on and off my pickup. It was great to have someone very knowledgeable and experience working on the bike. I will be back! (Also, while you wait, there is a great Burrito shop across the street they pointed me to). read more

There is good and there is GREAT. Liz is Good and being GREAT. Responsive, helpful, thorough and answers questions I didn't know I should have asked. JOSE IS AWESOME TOO. GREAT service, GREAT Team. Great to know this place exists. read more

Outstanding group of guys that really know what they're doing. I brought in a 2014 CRF 250 to get a chain replacement and I was in and out within 30 minutes no appointments or anything these guys are really great and you can tell they care about getting the job done properly. And the price was more than reasonable. I was originally going to take my bike into Honda Yamaha in Berkeley and the price they quoted me was much higher than what Pro J Cycles charged me. I'm very happy with their service and will definitely be back. read more

This is an update to my previous post. I just went to a local shop, an Aprilia dealer in the neighborhood where I grew up, to replace the tire Pro J's replaced not yet three months ago. I didn't know they would service my bike or I'd have gone there, to begin with. They are returning my bike to me as-is. After over an hour just trying to get the axle out, they found that whoever worked on it last, Pro J's Cycles, did not put back the hardware on the left side of the axle so it is completely bent and cannot be serviced. Even if the hardware had been missing before, which is very doubtful, no honest, competent, shop would have completed the work and charged me for it without saying anything. So I may need to apologize. Maybe the tire that this shop sold me wasn't as bad as I thought. Maybe it was that the shop forgot to put back the hardware which ended up bending the axle and that's why the tire wore down so quickly. With the "Cash discount" I paid well over $600 to have one new tire and one used tire installed on my bike, forgetting the hardware and ruining the axle. How much would it have cost me to ruin my bike with a new tire and no discount? The Aprilia dealer wasn't even able to get the axle out. I'm going to have to order new bearings and relieve them of responsibility if the whole wheel ends up being toast. This is my first bike. I have owned it for just over six months and now it's going into storage. I guess I really did deserve to be laughed at by the owner for being a sucker and trusting his shop. read more

I've been going to Jose for years for all kinds of work on my bikes. He is a racer and very competent mechanic. I don't trust anyone but myself or him to work on any of my bikes. Whether it's for tire changes or complete tear downs, pro J's is one of the only places I don't feel like I have to double check their work. read more

Really satisfied with the work Jose did to my 07-R6 Full tune up,valve adjustment,engine compression,engine chain,new sprockets and chain, adjusted my brake and clutch also adjusted my throttle. The bike was running like S**T now it's running brand new and he did all That work for a great and affordable price! Jose is the man to Go to for all your bike need! All my recommendations will go to him from today on! read more

This guy here.. this genuine guy here! gave me the best service any rider can have. He had to move mountains to find the problem of why my bike wasn't starting and we both had patience communicating to what it could've been, so he worked for two days to find the problem. He calls for any little detail to make sure your bike is in tip top shape. This time it was the power commander that had to be cut off and the throttle body not placed property due to accident or just moved idk but I would've never known this because I thought it was already placed right. 10 out of 10 would tell any rider out there to go to Jose. He's been there and done it all. Wait for his call and have patience. This is your bike and anything can happen on the road so don't call him to see if it's going well. He's a professional. Thanks Jose. You helped sell my bike with happy customers. read more

Jose and his team are incredible and I am so glad to have found a talented, trustworthy, honest, and professional mechanic to help maintain my Triumph for many years to come. I came to Jose with an unusual and complicated project: installing a sidecar on my Triumph Street Twin. I'm grateful he was willing to take this project on, and he did an incredible job. The job took tons of patience and skill, and they even fabricated a couple of the joints, which they did perfectly because it rides and turns like a dream. Great and open communication throughout to keep me updated on the project, and the final product is not only beautiful and more amazing than I expected, but the labor cost for such a complicated project was very reasonable. I highly recommend Jose and his team! read more

I've had motorcycles serviced at many shops across the Bay Area, and Jose's immediately makes it to the top of my list for shops in the East Bay. I like that he's willing to work on any kind of bike, whether it's my wife's Kymco scooter or my BMW, and unlike other shops (cough, Rockridge Two Wheels) he's not judgmental if you bring in your own parts and tires to install. They charge reasonable prices, but most important, Jose is both passionate and knowledgeable about the sport. Looking forward to bringing all three of my bikes here. read more

Awesome people! I was getting ready to leave town on Friday. Then late on a Thursday, I got a flat and called Pro J's. No one else was open or willing to take the job. Jose said if I got there by 5p, he'd make sure the job got done. He kept his word and I rode out in 45 minutes. Thank you Pro J's! read more

Im a new rider who has a newly purchased 2016 iron 883. After waking up today for a nice morning ride i noticed my steering was heavy and as i got down the block my wheel began to wobble. Immediately i pulled into the nearest gas station to inflate my tire and assess the rest of the bike. Without any knowledge or idea of what it can be i immediately went back home and called jose to let him know i was planning to come in once the tow truck company came and got the bike. Ive been referred to pro J by many veteran riders and new so i knew i was in good hands. We never got to find the exact problem on why it happened but jose definitely made sure i was safe and sound and ready to get back on the road again and made sure he checked for any thing out of the ordinary. I trust this place completely and will not plan on going anywhere else for repairs , maintenance, or jus stop ins to make sure my bike is in tip top shape. Thanks again pro Js see u soon !! read more

Everything was smooth and the people are nice but the only thing is am not comfortable if someone is fixing my motorcycle and am not able to see it. You should at least see what is getting fixed. There a gate which customers cannot cross and that made me upset. read more

I have a scooter that I over flowed the oil in. Gail cleaned it all up and had it back the same day. It still had white smoke coming out of it the next day even after riding it around a lot. I went back to him and Gail said it still needs to burn off, and it has. But while there i was low on gas so he hooked me up with some. Also learned that going short distances, it's a mile round trip commute to Bart, the battery will die more often. So next he gave me a jump so I could get home. Gail was super nice and patient informing me about my scooter. Almost forgot, Gail also cleaned scuff marks off the scooter as well as put screws in my battery holder. That's service! Highly recommend Jose and Gail for service. Also, Jose hooked me up with this awesome retro keychain! read more

Awesome customer service. Thanks Jose & Liz for your expertise in motorcycle and being honest. Now my CB1100 is back to normal.

Great first experience today with Jose. Super nice honest guy, as is the whole crew that works there. Got a new bike a few days ago that had some rattling noises when I hit the throttle hard, he fixed the problem completely, tightened and lubed the chain, and pumped up the front tire; you can tell he really knows his stuff. As others have said, this place is the real deal, and very well priced compared to other shops in the Bay Area. Dropped my bike off in the afternoon the day I called him, and it was ready to ride the next day. He also took a few minutes to talk to me about the bike and what he did to it, great experience overall. Will absolutely be going back there for everything I need with the bike in the future. read more

Horrible, horrible Service. Trackside, this guy not only lost my rear caliper pad pin after a tire change, he bent my freshly powder coated wheel, during said tire change. Then had the audacity to say it was my fault for running over a curb, somewhere in track. He is a weasel and a fast talker. His work is sup par at best. I saw a really cool girl come off track with her bike smoking, after he did some simple Engine work, on her bike. He not only put my life a risk with his awful mechanical skills, but denied it was his fault after I know it was. If you value your life and Motorcycle at all, DONT BRING YOUR MOTORCYCLE HERE. BE WARNED!!!! In response to your rebuttal. My rim was ne er bent, until I got it back from you. I actually never road that rim after I got it back from you damaged. And let mr be clear, PLENTY OF RIDERS I talked to said" you brought you bike to Jose???" Implying you are not very good at your jobs, and actually I found out some other things about you guys, that I won't go into details about, but you have done this before and it won't be the last time. You are messy and keep hiding inside that trailer when you die tire changes. JASON , when he was running the show had that machine out in the open and Shawn, did all the changes right in front of us. We ARE ALL sad he is no longer doing Dunlop tire Service, because this would have never happened under his watch. Good luck in the future and I hope no one gets hurt because of your sub-par work. Have a great day. read more

Great work and GREAT communication, gave me up to date information on what was found, and what was needed. I have a VFR800 THAT NO MECHANIC WANTS TO TOUCH!! but they did it! Thank you!! I also brought my VTR1000 for repair and Tuning, they did a major tune up / upgrades, and found the timing was off O.o! Thankfully they are professional and actually went through the bike and adjusted everything needed. Riding that bike was like NIGHT AND DAY! as soon as i got it back and started riding it, it only wanted to stay on one wheel!! THE Thrill!!! read more

"ProJ Jose" did it again!! I just went from a 600 to a 750 in under a week. And to top it off he is the one that found me the replacement motor and got me an absolutely unbeatable price on it. Seriously you should quit reading this review and just call the guy. He genuinely loves what he does and makes sure to treat each bike as if it were his own. I love him so much I could damn near kiss him. read more

I just want to remind you guys that shaft driven rear wheels have the rotor on the opposite side that youre used to seeing. Please dont argue with the customer that the tire is not on backwards. But, the positive out of all this is that was the motivation I needed to buy my own tire machine. I wish you the best of luck. read more

This is my second time going to this place and it will be my last. Never have I ever witnessed such unprofessional behavior from an owner. Fist fighting outside while I'm waiting for my bike to be done, I was sickened with such violent behavior. read more

I bought a new rear tire for my bike. A very good friend highly recommended this shop. The price was good and the service was fast yet excellent. I expressed to Jose of me wanting to change/modify the muffler on my bike. I specifically said, I didn't want it to be obnoxiously loud, but I did want it to say, "here I come"! This guy is awesome! He did, just that! The modifications were done just the way i asked and the quality of the custom work looks so good, it looks like it could've came from the factory like that! read more

What amazing people. They were super generous with information, and serviced my new motorcycle at a great price. They went above and beyond, even putting a racing stripe on my Kawasaki Ninja. As a woman, it seems that many repair shops take advantage of me; here I felt the opposite. I would highly recommend them, and will use them always. A good and honest mechanic is hard to find. Search no farther. read more

Brought my bike in to have new tires and brakes put on last week. Jose was quick to address all my questions, and after inspecting my bike Jose advised me on a few options to help me save some money. The new tires were installed very quickly and look great. The new shop is nice and has lots of room for growth. I'm definitely going back the next time I need to have my bike serviced. read more

Super good guy, priced me fairly and did good work, definitely bringing my bike back here.

Thanks pro Jay for quick turn around and great service rate ! Ill be seeing you at the track and at your service shop in the future !

Originally met Jose at the racetrack. Has tons of experience with every bike on the market and knows how to fix things fast and thoroughly. He just opened this shop and has really brought it to the table. Shortly will carry every company's race slicks (only one on the west coast, maybe even the nation). Very competitive prices and doesn't charge you for unneccessary items like a dealer would. Definately recommend! read more
