What clients say about Mike's Motorcycle Parts & Repair in Flint (MI)
Nicest guy i ever met. Fabricated pieces for a super old quad, helped me figure out whst exactly it was, and when my truck was having issues in his lot he helped my brother and I figure out what to do. Mike is sweet.
Mike is a great guy. I kept breaking master links, and he was sold out...but he got one off of a chain that just came back. Lifesaver! Thanks for great customer service! Keep up the great work man! People, be patient, he is the only one running this place I believe. For 40 years. Awesome.
Mike is the very best in his field and never in a rush. He will take the time to get the part or repair done right every time. I highly recommend Mike for all your needs. Won't go anywhere else myself.
Mike was a very knowledgeable man who accommodates your needs and can fix just about anything. Anything that he can't be can order on for you. He's an expert at what he's does.
The last few times I called there has been no answer. So I thought maybe they were just busy but when I got there they were closed and there was a sign that said they were closed on specific days. Found the parts I needed elsewhere as I needed them ASAP.
You will never leave unsatisfied been to this wonderful atmosphere multiple times and is always very helpful deserves more than a 5 star as far as I'm concerned!
Called just before closing time, needed a #35 chain put on my ct100u after I swapped to a built 212cc, he had me drop it off, quoted me $20, and told me it'd be ready in the morning, just to call and make sure before I come. I called first thing and it was ready, went up to his shop:
He put washers on my engine mounts for me, oiled my clutch, touched up my chain tensioner, cut my chain down from 10ft to fit my bike and installed it, all for the original quote of $20, thank you Mike! You have my business!
This guy right here is a real piece of work first of all he will charge you a arm and a leg for a part that you need his business hours are all messed up he opens shop whenever he feels like it and doesn’t open up on mondays his hours say 10am to 6pm but he won’t be there until about 2-3 in the afternoon then he leaves early and closes way before 6
Great guy spent and hour and a half with me looking up the right part for my bike because he wanted to make sure i didnt order the wrong part and be stuck with it
Mike's has always got my business and got my out the door with the right parts. But is he open anymore? Last 2 weeks the phones been dead and I need mini bike parts XD
Mike has never done me wrong. He knows what he is doing. And will help you even if it means sending you elsewhere. I always go here first for my dirtbike repairs
I have been here a few times and he's always been very helpful even though I didn't spend much. He's got my business. To the "he hung up on me people" I'm sure he had a good reason
Dad bought me my first dirt bike here for my 9th birthday. That was the beginning of my riding career and it has been my passion ever since. Mike always has what I need and if he does not, he always tries to help me out in any way he can. Its funny reading some of these bad reviews on this page, I can tell just from reading them that the ones leaving them are the broke tire kickers.
Had good work done by the guy in the past. Just now went to give him a call and ask a couple questions, and rushed me off the phone. Phone call was for 2 mins.. sounds like hes not here to help, just for your money. Thanks mike.
Was building a mini chopper and got alot of parts from Mike. Nice guy straight forward. Ill keep taking my money to him. Always has what i need or will get it if he can.
I was looking for a obsolete part for what I thought was a 73 Yamaha 250 enduro. We determined it was a 74, and that complicated things. Mike spent over an hour and a half hunting in his stock and everyone on the interweb, to no avail. He even checked his home! The part was made from unobtainimum.! We finally tried East Motor Cycle Salvage. They had it on the shelf. A few more miles but I got it and it fit like new! Thanks to both these businesses, I know I can count on these guys !!
Spoke to Mike today about an issue on my quad. He's really backed up right now but took the time to walk me thru how he would address the issue. He's won my business in the future. Thanks Mike!
Was told they don't do electrical work because it's too time consuming. If you're looking to support a local business don't bother coming here: they're flush with cash. But you probably already knew that by looking at the place. I was also sold a generator rotor puller that ended up not being right for my bike. When I bought it the salesmen told me I could return it if it was wrong. When I came in to return it he gave me a bunch of grief about how, "He doesn't normally refund tool purchases."
Not sure what shop Jay is referring to, but I've been coming to Mike's for years, and "Mike" is a one-man band! Awesome service, honest, and he has your bike running better than new! Don't trust anyone else to work on your bike.
