Don't go here for repairs. I had a nightmare experience. The owner comes across as a friendly guy, and i'm sure he is, but this scenario would tick off any customer: It took him two weeks to admit he could not do a job, and he ruined an expensive part, for which I was not refunded.
He fully refunded me $89 in labor charges for a botched tire replacement on my motorcycle, but the process was very frustrating, took four visits, and he damaged the rim. I lost $217.32 on the transaction, and two weeks of use of my bike. For what was a simple tire replacement.
I had to schedule two weeks ahead.
He popped two tubes and had to order more online.
He left a voicemail complaining about the amount of time he spent "on this fucking bike."
He attempted to return the bike to me with a lop-sided seated tire. Meaning he didn't even test ride it. I got over 25 mph and it felt like the tire was square, and went back to the shop irritated. He kept it another week and never called me. I returned and took back the bike, still not fixed.
I understand this was a smaller, foreign motorcycle but it's a simple job. A Yamaha XT250 is one of the most basic bikes in existence. He blamed the brand new tire, the tire size, the tire seller. I'm currently riding on it, and it's fine. The second shop completed the job in less than one hour, but only after discovering that he had chipped and bent the rim trying to seat the tire by pounding on it and wedging screw drivers into it.
I had to replace the rim. It showed his tool marks. Which is why I'm extremely ticked off.
