Excellent products and service. Alex was incredibly helpful and responsive through the entire online purchasing experience.

I recently ordered a navigation device from Union Garage. The item, Beeline Moto II is a UK based item and a bit hard to come by in the states. There was a hiccup with my order, and I was really surprised to receive a phone call from a store member the next day. They were super helpful in getting my order set and the item arrived just a few days later. I recieved a follow up email the same day. Great customer service. Other places may just "backorder" something and never reach out to make things right. This shop is going to be a new go to for me for online purchases! read more

Union Garage is old-world excellence. I ordered some John Doe pants a few weeks ago. A national shipping carrier managed to screw it up spectacularly. It had nothing to do with Union Garage. They did everything they were supposed to. Once we realized that things had gone off the rails, Chris and Alex went above and beyond to help sort it out. Their attitude through the whole process was amazing. Union Garage is run by stand-up guys who love the motorcycle community. This is why I support brick and mortar stores. I'd do business again with them anytime. Five stars all the way. read more

Great service, very helpful and professional Highly recommend this place for parts and cool Gear. JC read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while now and finally got a chance to check the showroom out with my wife. First off, it's laid out very well; the whole place had a vibe that made me want to hang out and try just about everything on. There aren't a lot of spots in and around NYC that you can try on a wide selection of Moto gear and Union garage fits that bill. My wife ended up getting a Revit jacket that she fell in love with. She found the CE level 2 back protector from Revit to be too bulky so they cut a D30 back protector to fit the jacket perfectly. But that's not where the customer service ended. I, like an idiot, left my ignition on on my bike and killed the battery. They were able to charge the battery for me while I toured the area and get me back on the road. Saved the day! The prices are on par with online competitors but you end up paying in taxes. But if you want to support your local shop and you want to have the luxury of going to an amazing shop with top level customer service, you STFU pay the tax like a goddamn American. lol. I know where I'm getting my next bit of gear. read more

Union Garage - Motorcycle Gear Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

Although it's a bit off the beaten path, coming here is absolutely worth it. I came in for my first helmet and the staff did an excellent job explaining helmet sizing and how one should fit. The process was painless, thorough, and socially responsible (they give you a mask and gaiter for trying on helmets). Honestly, excellent customer service. I had recently come from another shop that sort of snubbed me, but coming here I felt very welcome. Will definitely be returning for all of my gear. read more

They are in their new space now and open for retail business. Visited them on 10/30/22. What a great place. I am a new rider and needed the basics (jacket, pants, gloves). Great selection here. Knowledgeable friendly staff. Its a really good space. Prices were good. Will definitely return Not being familiar with Bridgeport I was curious as to if the location would have convenient parking (it does) or if there would be any externalities associated with the town (there weren't - its in a nice part of town). Highly recommended! read more

I liked this store. It was clean, easy to shop and store manager was very helpful. Plus the area is nice to visit if you live in the city. The downside is that the merchandise is limited to selection, so call ahead to make certain something is in stock and perhaps ask them to order it for your arrival. Other than that, it is worth the visit read more

This place is a treasure, and easy to get there by car or motorcycle. Great staff, and an amazing selection of gear. It almost feels like an art space - super high ceilings, brick walls, the cool feel of cement under your feet -great vintage bikes on display, big leather couches, no pressure staff, but at the ready when you're ready to get into the weeds about their fantastic gear and helmets.... I sometimes stroll by just to look at the bikes parked outside of customers that come from far and wide. It's a testament to this shop that it was able to survive these crazy times. Highly recommend. read more

Although I have never been to the physical shop in NYC, I have spoken to Chris numerous times via email and on the telephone. He has been extremely helpful with helping me get fitted for great gear I have purchased. Also the Robinson Jacket that they collaborated with Vanson is a top quality jacket. Very well made, sturdy, and stylish. I have purchased items from their online store that I could get slightly cheaper from other places because of their exceptional customer service and their small town, small business attitudes. Right on. read more

Excellent motorcycle accessory shop with the most competitive prices in the country (even online). The sales staff is very helpful/ knowledgeable & not pushy. The selection they have meets all price ranges & styles. This is a true motorcycle shop with genuinely nice people. read more

Love that the staff was wearing mask. Everyone was very helpful. They have an array of cool motorcycle gear and accessories. I took the long drive from the Bronx to check them out and was not disappointed. I will be returning with my son and son in law. read more

I am almost hesitant in writing this positive review because this place is a real hidden gem. ...and I'm tempted to keep it that way :). I went on a Thursday afternoon, so it was understandably quiet. I was just going to check out some helmets. First off, the store is very classy in an urban way. They carry some real high end stuff that I haven't seen in other box stores. The layout is clean and comfortable. The saleswoman that helped me was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the helmets. She didn't just regurgitate the stuff from the catalog. She obviously rides and gave me her opinion about the helmets. She was not pushy at all. Offered me the 2 helmets that I was contemplating and left me alone on the comfy couch to just get acquainted with them. She checked on me every now and then to make sure if I had any questions. Not in a pushy. And then here's the kicker....She asked if I wanted a bottle of water or a coffee while I decided. WHAT??!!!! I am so use to the pretentious snarky salespeople in the other stores that this was a such a shock to the system. So, long story short, I ended up buying the helmet. The price was very close to the big online stores, but with this level of services I would rather pay the few extra dollars to support this business. I will definitely be going back. Tell your friends about this place...but not too many friends :) read more

If these guys were selling ego instead of moto gear, they'd get five stars! Be prepared to be ignored and looked passed while you wait to spend money while they tend to their personal friends just hanging out in the shop. Also, be prepared for a very limited selection backed by their attitude that anything they carry are better than brands that are industry standards in the field. (helmets are laughable!) Hurts to say it, but I get better service off my usual mail order place...at least they answer the phone with a friendly "hello" and make exchanges easy enough when something doesn't fit quite right. I have feeling these guys picked up their attitude from the owner of the garage next door, who has some interest in this shop. My advice: steer clear. It will soon be something else soon anyway with the business formula they are following! :( read more

This place has a 5 star rating by every reviewer. It's for a reason. They have a passion for all things motorcycle and it shows. This is probably the best place in NYC to get your gear on. First - it's on a great block. Custom motorcycle restoration and repair shop next door. Down the block is a Vespa repair shop. Calexico is nearby for lunch or dinner (delicious). There are always cool bikes either next door or even right in front of the shop. That alone is worth the visit. The owner chris and his employees are more then helpful. They are patient. Low pressure. Informative. If they don't know something about a product they google it before you you could turn around. They are very friendly and never make you feel out of place just for being a new rider (which I am). Over the past 5 months I bought 2 helmets, a jacket, pants, boots, 2 pairs of gloves, a Bluetooth system for my helmets, neck warmer / wind blocker, and a license plate bracket. I'm on my way their shortly to pick up a new tire gauge. I started small with just a helmet and gloves. I kept coming back for more. I spent many many hours in the shop over the past few months just trying on gear and thinking about usability. They never pressured me or even seemed annoyed like the time I tried on helmets for 1.5 hours straight and didn't buy anything. They are fairly priced and honest. They have a great sense of community and hold random great events. Follow them on Instagram for amazing photos of great weekend riding shots and beautiful random bikes. Follow them on twitter and Facebook to see new products or specials. Of last note - they recently got in to manufacturing. They put out a truly beautiful jacket that they designed themselves. Make sure to check it out. Chris if you are reading this, best of luck and thanks again for helping me enjoy my motorcycle. read more

Friendliest staff and hand picked collection for any bike enthusiast. They can match online prices most of the time, they have a large selection available in store to try, and there is always coffee, donuts and nice conversations. My first couple of visits were for purely shopping. But now I'm hooked up and I stop by on my rides and commutes to say hi and check out the new merchandise. If you happen to be in Brooklyn and own a motorcycle, make sure you stop by Union Garage! read more

I was only along for the ride so to speak during my visit. I was not the one actually purchasing anything motorcycle related but spent a good amount of time in the shop listening to the sales process and getting to know the guys in the shop. I was impressed by how knowledgeable, friendly and honest the sales guy was and by his willingness to make sure everything was taken care of. The shop is small with limited merchandise but they will order anything for you if needed. My favorite part were the gorgeous custom shelves. read more

My favorite motorcycle riding equipment destination. I get to try out everything, and it's two blocks away (not kidding) from my house - though I am not sure how "good" this proximity is as my riding gear expenses seem to have taken a life of their own and have started multiplying by themselves. Very knowledgeable staff, well balanced, highest quality selection - which is a great plus. Imagine being thrown into a department store and trying to figure out what's going on on which shelf and what isle; then compare that mental image with this one: you have a specific, targeted and high quality selection that comes in with a cup of espresso and live chat in front of you. Can't get better than this. Now, let me try that jacket, please. Yes, medium, and large, and I want to compare it with this one... and the gloves, wow, nice boots... read more

I love this place. Great people. Went in when I first got my bike and had nothing but a helmet. Found a sexy sexy sexy Aether jacket and some mega erotic lee parks gloves - so now i'm a mega cool guy when I cruise about. Great spot. read more

This place is great! What they lack in retail floor space they definitely make up for in customer service. I walked in looking for a open face helmet from Bell and after a few different tries and a head measurement due to my apparently irregular shaped head (thanks mum & dad!) I was encouraged to take the helmet and goggles out for a spin. Definitely was not expecting that recommendation nor level of trust. Chris was fantastic the whole way through and even offered me some espresso. They have a great (but small) selection of gear from Rev-it, Schott, Bell, Gore Tex amongst a few others. I ended up leaving the store with this awesome jacket from Rev-it called the "Opera jacket". Think Mad Men meets Motorcycles. Besides the retail space they also have a repair shop and specialize in vintage bikes (think Moto-guzzi, Norton's, etc). I don't usually asked to be put on business mailing lists but this was one store I couldn't pass up. They had so many things I'd never seen or known about in motorcycle gear. Will definitely be back much to my wallet's chagrin. read more

I needed to gear up from head to toe after 20 years off motorbikes. Chris was welcoming, generous with his advice, and did not push for the hard sale even though he stocks the best gear around. You will get every thing you need to meet your needs at Union Garage, and you also feel like you belong to a community of riders who want to hang out together. To anybody who needs a piece of gear, some sound advice, or just to have a chat about bikes (do drop by the awesome service shop next door...), you will be hard pressed to find a better place in the tri-state area. What are you waiting for? read more

Henry was really helpful - knew his stuff perfectly and guided me through the entire process. Initially went in to check the brands they carry, which are rare to see in a physical shop - Stylmartin, Kriega, etc. The Stylmartin shoes I was looking for were not available "in situ", but he was able to show me an equivalent model and offered me the chance to have the model I wanted specially ordered, at no extra cost. Again, very satisfied and he definitely knows how to guide and treat the client. Will come back! read more

No clue what curt f and Mecca j are on here, my guess is they're employed by or friends with a competitor. Or just can't be pleased regardless. Enough on patently fake reviews and on to substance. The guys are quite helpful and the prices match every single place I've shopped online. I'm talking revzilla, motorcyclegear.com, and motochanic, the largest online stores out there. Union has a small selection of items that don't make you look like a branded rolling asshat and keep you safe. It works for me, lower key high quality gear that doesn't announce 'Hey I have a yellow cbr that matches this jacket!' (Apologies if that's your thing) Ride safe everyone, dying is overrated. read more

I checked this place out for the first time today. Shameful that I've never been here before considering I get a panelle sandwich right up the block almost monthly (Ferdinando's Focacceria). I've been wanting to get a RAM Tough-Claw Handlebar Rail Mount with X-Grip Holder for my HD Roadster/iphone but did not know what combination would work. The guy there let me take the display unit out to my bike to see if it fit. It did and I bought it for less than I could have at Revzilla and ebay! The place and people are super cool. There is a large selection of gear and you can support a local Brooklyn business without spending extra cash. Plenty of space to park your bike...ya can't lose yo! read more

went in here to buy a jacket. i'm transgender and they were very normal and not weird about helping me try on a variety of men's and women's jackets. prices were competitive with online. will definitely shop here again. read more

I have hardly ever been to a store and thought: I hope this becomes an international franchise because this is the best. Union Garage has everything: staff that have all the information about their products and how they fit with different customers, plus superior products, plus a great location, plus character. It was easy to find what I was looking for as a first time rider. There isn't a bunch of cheap, magin-padding crap throwing you off the trail. Just high quality stuff suitable for different needs. Nothing here is redundant, it's all with a purpose. It didn't hurt that everything fit just right. They make a point to stock a huge range of sizes, since fit matters for protective clothing more so than for regular clothing. As far as price: good gear is pricey and it pays to invest if your safety. Add in fit, build quality and, yes, looks, it's a fine bargain. I really hope to see a Union Garage in every city I visit one day. Riders outside of NYC really don't know what they're missing. read more

The sales staff at Union Garage was great! Now that that's out the the way LOL, this place looks cool, you definitely want to stay longer than 20 minutes but hey COViD sucks for us all. They have a really really nice selection of jackets, pants, gloves, helmets and gear. Went in for gloves left with glove and pants, and very happy. I'll be back soon. read more

I stopped by the shop for the first time yesterday because the workshop (also affiliated with the owners of the store) next door was having a Rev'it sample sale. Chris, one of the owners, was incredibly helpful and really personable. A lot of times you get the feeling that if you've only managed to find your way to a store because of a "deal" or "special event" then the owners will write you off as not a serious customer. Not so here. Chris was really attentive and open to sharing his deep knowledge on the gear that they carry. You can tell by the layout of the shop and the way that the owners talk about bikes that this is the kind of place where you can feel confident you won't be taken for a ride or sold some affordable-but-sketchy gear. I ended up picking up a great jacket for a really good price and had to restrain myself from getting a whole new set of matching gear... I'll definitely be going back often to get my gear fix from now on. And it doesn't hurt that the workshop next door specializes in vintage Euro bikes so you know you're in store for some mechanical eye candy too! read more

I love this place. The staff is always really helpful even though I am looking for some of the most basic equipment. They're willing to talk about their personal experiences with some of the equipment. It's a fantastic neighborhood resource. However, keep in mind that this place sells premium equipment at premium prices. They do not stock lower-end, low priced products. Keep that in mind before making an impulse buy. read more

Just bought a pair of pannier/saddlebag mounting brackets for my 2018 Triumph Bonneville T120. The product was well made and bolted on easily. The black, stainless brackets are quite solid. I found the staff to be very knowledgable and helpful. It's a good place to find accessories for Triumph owners. read more

They're expanding to the space next door, but the small square-footage at the current shop accounts for this place's unusually great concentration of awesome, obscure motorcycle gear brands. I research the hell out of motorcycle equipment before I buy anything, and this place stocks all the best stuff -- Rev'It!, RAM mounts, Schuberth helmets. It's all top-tier stuff, and they have a lot in stock. Getting to try stuff on (rather than gambling by ordering online) is worth the trip to Red Hook. All the guys at the shop (Conrad and another girl whose name I can't remember) are unpretentious, know a ton about their products, and are worth meeting just to talk bikes. They always have people coming in just to say hello, which says a lot about a store. As a San Francisco riding transplant, glad to find this hub for fellow New York riders. I'll be ordering my next bit of gear through them. The expertise of the folks in the shop is worth it. read more

Came here to get the ram mount for my cell phone. I love this place because you know they have the top gear for sale and none of that cheap stuff. I always make sure I skip my dealership and head out to Brooklyn when I need good riding equipment and this place has most of our urban riding needs in stock . I will be back yet again to get some gear for my wifey( her jacket is trash) read more

Their level of service and carefully selected product portfolio are fantastic. It took me two tries to get the right helmet and jacket but I ended up with a combination which is safe functional and that I love day in day out. Most importantly is that I have a helmet which fits. I would never have gotten this customized fit (swapping out helmet padding for the right size for me) by ordering over the web or for that matter ... In many retail shops in NYC. It's a bit of a haul from Upper Manhattan; look on the web site and call in advance. Update: I bought a second helmet from Henry, and he was fantastic about transferring my Sena to it. These guys are a step above the rest! Thank you! read more

I've only ever ordered through their website, but it was a great experience, and the Lee Parks Deer Tours gloves from my last order feel and look better with every passing day! Wish I lived on this coast so I could shop in the physical store - and I'd definitely be joining you on your upcoming ride instead of a certain other event...!! Keep up the good work guys :-) read more

My boyfriend and I really like this place. We both ride and they have a good selection of gear but most importantly you're met with great customer service. I can't remember the girl's name but she was incredibly helpful and patient while we both tried on many helmets. My boyfriend had actually been wearing the wrong helmet size for a number of years only going off of the "feel" rather than actually measuring his head (ridiculous, I know). He finally figured out the size he should be wearing but they didn't have that particular size in stock yet although it was already on the way with their next shipment. We normally do our ordering online but this is somewhere that we will return to purchase items solely because of their customer service. That's very important to me. We've also been to Jane a number of times and have never once been helped for gear. read more

Allowed a return even though I'd lost the box. Super friendly, knows his product, and has the good stuff. Everything in there is quality.

I'm a first time biker and picked up the essential at Union Garage. They were incredibly helpful, knew their shit and were able to make clear recommendations at a number of price points. I'll be back for sure. read more

Went here right before taking my MSF class March 1st to check out what they had and to try on helmets, jackets, etc. Chris was extremely helpful picking out a helmet, jacket, and gloves. It's a little bit of a pain to get to (especially if it's cold out) but it was totally worth it for the wealth of information I received with no sales pressure. If they don't have something in stock, they'll have it ordered. Walked out of there with a Bell helmet and Revit gloves. Had to order the jacket. Would definitely go back to future needs. read more

Chris is great. I'm a new to riding, and I went here to pick out my first jacket and pair of gloves. I'm someone who hates salesmen, and I'm always defensive whenever I feel I'm being sold. But Chris was really helpful without any pressure to buy, he just enjoys motorcycles and talking bikes. I got really good gear for a good price and never felt pressured to buy it now. I know where I'll be getting the rest of my gear for now on. read more

Came in here over the weekend for a helmet. I'm sure I looked like a huge newbie (I'm not very experienced, I'm taking my MSF course at the end of the month), but the guy who helped me out was very friendly, helpful, and patient, and guided me towards what seems like a great helmet purchase. I'll definitely be giving them my business whenever possible (plus, it also gives me an opportunity to go to Calexico down the street, but shhh... They don't need to know that). read more
