I had a flat on the front tire of my Indian Chief Vintage. I was dreading trailering the bike 70-80 miles to get it fixed. I called Shawn and he agreed to do the work. I delivered the bike on Thursday and picked it up on Friday. He replaced the tube and tire completed a safety inspection of the bike and topped off the oil for about 1/3 the cost of an Indian dealer. Shawn is a professional. He runs a one man shop that is clean, neat and efficient. I was so impressed with his work I left my spouse's Honda Interstate with him for a safety inspection and to research a battery drain issue that has srumped 2 Honda shops and 2 multi brand shops. Shawn is an expert at his craft and his pricing is well below market standard. ​ read more

Don't buy tires off the internet before you check his prices. He will beat internet prices. I just made that mistake again where I bought a set of tires for my Goldwing from Wingstuff (always cheapest price) only to find out he could have beaten them by $50. Lesson learned! Shawn has been working on my bike for several years. He has always done a great job! Too notch! read more

Big shout out to Shawn, he took his time and custom made my brake lines on my new Suzuki VSTROM 1050 so I could use some 1.5" back and 1.5 inch high ROX handlebar risers. The stock bars killed my shoulders and upper back, now at 73 I can ride all day with ZERO problems and riding from Johnson City, Texas To Big Bend National park this next week. Thanks Shawn! Honest, informative, keeps you in the loop but most of all takes pride in what he does! Tom Hendry read more

I scheduled a drop off of a new to me 2014 Yamaha TTR 125. Shawn completed the work on schedule, advised me of things that would need repair or replacement in the future - but didn't ever try to convince me to spend more. He plans to move his shop soon. I will keep coming to him in the nee 512) 424-9146 too! read more

Great service, trustworthy, and reliable. I was in and out, same day, in 30 minutes for a motorcycle oil change and fluid top off. Since I was a new rider, Shawn also showed me a few things to check as a general maintenance rule. I will return! read more

Shawn is the man! Only wish I knew about him when I started riding! He's very knowledgeable and knows his stuff! Very reliable, accountable and respectful! If you guys are reading this, definitely recommend this shop! 5 star all a round!! Hell yeah! He goes ABOVE & BEYOND! Outstanding customer service all round!! More like 10 starts all the way all around! read more

My motorcycle had a fuel problem that I couldn't figure out. I've been tinkering with motorcycles all my life. I'm almost 60 years old now. So I called Shawn and what an outstanding guy, that did a great job fixing my motorcycle. It was vapor locking and the carburetor was out of adjustment. I don't recommend too many people, but I got a recommend Shawn's Cycles! He went above and beyond to fix my problem and get me on the road! read more

Shawn is amazing!!! He was very direct and upfront with me. He was extremely honest. I explained my situation to him, and he worked with me to get repairs done within my budget. He did great work. The price was reasonable. He was also able to accommodate me within the time that I needed. I've come across shady mechanics before, and this was the exact opposite. He also gave me a great referral for an inspection. He came recommended by a friend, and I'm glad I came. I have now found a place where I feel comfortable bringing my bike. Shawn worked hard, and successfully earned me as a loyal client. I've already referred him to a few friends. If I could give home more than 5 stars, I would. Out of 5 stars, if give him 8 Thank you for the amazing work, and you'll see me in the future for other work. Thanks again read more

This is my first time doing business with Shawn and i am very pleased. Bought a new front tire from him and had him install it for me. Found out the current tire that was on there was not e right tire for the bike. Shawn was punctual mans gave me a fair price and got me on my way. The new tire he put on is excellent and rides a lot better. I am looking forward to working with Shawn for my future motorcycle - thanks Shawn! read more

I had 2 of my motorcycles worked on by Shawn. He did a fantastic job. Although one of the bikes had some additional problems a few weeks down, Shawn was generous enough to help me get the bike back on the road at a fraction of the cost and did more than he needed to which I appreciate very much. He is very skilled and talented in what he does. He is also very honest and reasonable with his prices and will not take advantage of you like some of the other local shops. He is also EXTREMELY efficient with his time and got both my bikes to me in no time! I will be bringing my motorcycles back to him in the future and will recommend all my riding buddies to him. Thank you again Shawn so much for doing your best job on my bikes! -Daniel read more

What a great experience. I was looking for a local bike mechanic and certainly found one. I took my bike in for a rear tire, fluid change, and front fork seals. Shawn was very thorough and I was very happy with the service. Prices are reasonable and he definitely did a good job. read more

Shawn was friendly and up front about all the costs and wait time. He was honest and stuck to his quoted price.

Shawn is the best motorcycle mechanic in town. I trust him implicitly and he's always done a stellar job with my Vulcan.

For anyone in the Central Texas Hill Country area (or within 100 miles of Marble Falls) you owe it to yourself to check out Shawn's Cycle Shop! I lucked upon his shop a couple of days ago and he offers everything I have always hoped for in a Motorcycle Mechanic. He is fair and honest, he will recommend things to make your bike better (but will also happily "do it your way" if desired). He doesn't charge RIDICULOUS predetermined Factory set pricing rates and instead works at a very fair "shop-time" rate. He will not cut corners (unless you advise him to do so) and he communicates very effectively - like a regular person, rather than somebody who knows it all. And he has been doing this since 1989, so he probably - does, know it all! Just contact him and you can tell instantly that you are not getting that "Big Dealer" runaround - and typical double-talk! Ride-On!!! read more

I have been going to Shawn for small to medium fixes to my motorcycle. Every time he gives me an honest quote and keeps me updated with the status. This is as good as it gets with good service and honest workmanship. I keep going back to Shawn and haven't even looked at other shops! read more

Purchased a CBR 600RR with a ignition switch ripped out (someone who tried to steal the bike). Shawn was able to quote me over the phone, order the part without taking a payment (trust). Part came in sooner than expected. He installed the ignition switch and new gas cap. The gas cap was cheap quality but he warned me if I went with something other than Honda we might have issues (gas cap seal sucked and could smell gas in my garage so I re-installed the old cap back on at home) Shawn also did an initial quality inspection to determine if there were any big issues with the bike before I left. Fixed the front turn signal wiring to pass inspection. Overall great customer service and price. Re read more

Shawn is the best in the business. Your bike will leave better than it came in 100% of the time. read more

Shawn took me in and dedicated the time to talk over and evaluate what was wrong with my motorcycle. We were not able to fix issue but attention was great. read more

Took my bike to Shawn and had two new tires and brake pads put on. Great communication before, during, and after the work was completed. Surprisingly fast turn around time. Outstanding work and customer service at a very fair price. Came highly recommended, and I found the recommendations to be very accurate. read more

They were very quick and offered plenty of helpful advice for a first time bike owner.

Great experience! Took my DRZ400SM to Shawn for some maintenance work - carb cleaning, oil change, new tire. He did a great job. I got the impression he was very honest and paid great attention to detail. His prices were completely reasonable. I was very happy. I'll be back! I won't be going back to Woods Fun Center. A friend of mine took his DRZ there and they did a super shabby job including forgetting to put the cotter pin in the rear axel and not tightening the rear axel nut. He didn't notice until he got home that the nut was completely loose. Could've killed him if it had come off while he was riding read more

Shawn is great! The downside of a one-man shop is that, if something happens, it can drastically slow down how long the work takes to do. In my case, Shawn got jury duty and that pushed everything back several days. The advantage, however, is that Shawn takes the time to walk you through everything and, since he's the one who worked on your bike, he can tell you everything he did and he recommends. I plan on bringing my bikes here for as long he's around. read more

After seeing awful reviews for Wood's Fun Center's service department, I moved on looking for a more reliable shop to service my bike. I came upon Shawn's Cycle Shop on yelp and decided to take advantage of the good reviews, and couldn't have been more satisfied. He's a great guy, very honest and sincere with his passion for motorcycles. Although the shop is small and the fact that he gets a lot of customers on the daily, he will manage to get the job done in a timely and reasonable manner. Give him a call to schedule your next service. Thanks, Shawn! read more

I came back again for a tuneup a year later. Once again, Shawn took the time to walk me through what he was doing and also the small talk to make the experience that much more engaging for a biking enthusiast. Since the last time, he has spent some considerable capital on shop upgrades with tools and merchandising. I'll be back again in 6 months for another tuneup and tire change. read more

I found Shawn's Cycle here on Yelp. I've not picked up my bike yet so this review may get edited but I'm thinking it'll just get better. After terrible experiences at Woods Fun Center I brought my CBR1000 to Shawn to swap out the coolant. First and foremost his rates are very fair, $70 per hour. He also is only charging me one hour to swap the coolant when Woods quoted me two hours. I couldn't even get Central Texas Power Sports on the phone for a quote, they're just too busy to answer the phone. Second he told me my bike would be ready today at noon. I've sat and waited for more than 8 hours at Woods so when Shawn called me right now to say he was running a bit late that really scored some points in my book. Great service, I'll be back! read more

Got a flat rear tire and had it towed to Shawn's shop. He was already super busy but managed to replace it the same day later that afternoon. Great service and great price. Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone with a motorcycle. read more

My boyfriend had an old Harley Davidson that needed quite a bit of work done to it as he hadn't been able to ride for years. They took it in, gave him an estimate and started working on it. When anything was more than the estimate given he would receive a call before they did anything. They are very professional and trustworthy, never had to worry about things being done that were not necessary. I highly recommend you give them a call the next time your motorcycle needs repairs! read more

Took my bike back to Shawn to install some new wheels and tires! Even though he was swamped with work he got the job done in a timely manner. My fairings had also been flapping around due to some busted tabs from hitting tire shreds. Shawn was able to drill small holes in them to tie them together. Always my go-to bike mechanic! read more

Shawn is the best !!! He has worked on my motorcycles for over 15 years & I have never been disappointed & tell my friends to use him. He is honest, which is hard to find these days if your a female in need of motorcycle service..... read more

I rarely give online reviews, but Shaun deserves it. He has worked on 2 of my bikes: 1997 Harley Springer Softail and a 2008 Suzuki B-King and I have been extremely pleased with my experiences. The quality of his work is top-shelf, prices are reasonable, and turnaround is the fastest I've ever experienced. Most importantly, I trust his expertise to keep the bikes safe and catch things I miss during the diagnostics. His shop is busy so plan ahead with regards to scheduling. read more

Shawn was brilliant! Straight up on the phone. I said I'd be there in under and hour, he said he'd have it done in under an hour. Well under in fact. Knows his stuff, polite, funny, the kind of guy I could have a beer with. His prices were super competitive. I'll be back again mate. Thanks for such a great job! read more

Great service. Shawn had me in and out in no time with 2 new tires and new front breaks. He even did a bit of research on my bike (02 concourse) beforehand. I'll be back for future services for sure. read more

Shawn is a tremendous guy. His price on brakes was the best in town, and he even allowed me to watch the install. His friendly demeanor left me feeling empowered despite my gaps in knowledge. I'll definitely take him up on his offer for a free brake inspection, and he'll certainly be getting my business in the future. read more

Shawn is the man !! First time there, I tried him out after reading all these positive reviews on this site. ALL of these reviews are true. Shawn is an honest, know-how guy for your motorcycle. Straight forward, clean bike shop, and has a passion for motorcycles. Excellent work and at a very fair price. I have a 2015 Harley VRod and needed a back tire and oil change. Easy to deal with, ordered the tire, and completed the work the next day !! Great work, he even recommended that my back brakes be replaced, which I knew that they were very low. Thanks Shawn for looking out for my safety as well as the care for my bike, and treating it like your own. I will DEFINITELY be sending my friends there. I HIGHLY recommend Shawn for all your motorcycle needs. read more

Shawn's shop is fabulous. The work is extremely high quality and fairly priced. I have been here many times.

Shawn did a great job getting an old bike that had been sitting around too much of the past year running very well now. He was able to spot damaged previous mechanics [a large shop in North Austin] created in their work and explain it to me. I also had a very short window of time to get my bike fixed before I had to travel out of town and Shawn was very straightforward about how long it would take. His prices were also very reasonable and I plan to take my next bike to him as well. read more

I brought my 2016 Honda Africa twin to Shawn to have some crash bars installed. Sean was honest and upfront about what it would take in labor and did a very thorough job with the assembly. He even went to an extra step and adjusted my chain that he noticed was to tight from the installation of new tires at another shop. Definitely will be giving Shawn more business read more

Just WOW.! I read all these favorable reviews and, after having to find a place since Zabor's unfortunately closed - and HATING woods - i went to Shawn. Man am i impressed. Super fast, very reasonable and honest. He was quite busy, but somehow managed to work me in to help me out in a jam. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. He'll be getting all of my business for now on. Later days woods, wish i could say it was nice. read more

Awesome service and respond time. Honest and dependable.

After finding this shop on Yelp, I was very impressed and definitely the best shop I have ever dealt with. Shawn was very helpful with fixing a small leak on my Ninja ZX6R. He updated me every step of the way and was very straight forward with the time estimate and price of the repair. It was fixed in just a couple days (dropped off on a Friday) and have had no issues since. I trust him 100% with my bike, and that is not common :) I would highly recommend giving him a chance before other larger shops. read more
