DO NOT TAKE YOIR BIKE TO THIS PLACE! Had my bike there to get an oil leak fixed and the oil changed, as well as an overall lookover prior to taking it out of state to a bike festival via trailer. After a week, was told gaskets were replaced and oil changed but bike was suddenly not holding a charge. Was told the “warranted” stator and regulator would be over $500 (was already at a $500 balance with oil change and fixing oil leak). I requested he put non-warranted parts on due to them being half the cost. Was called a week later and told the bike was ready to go, balance due was over $1,000!!! When asked which parts were put on, was told the most expensive ones with the warranty, claiming he didn’t remember our conversation about the non-warranted parts being used instead. He then informed me he changed parts on the bike (vacuum petcock) that I’d never asked him to do, saying he does it to all the bikes that come through his shop. Paid him almost $1,100.00 cash and immediately noticed the forward foot controls had been adjusted and there was a ring in the center of the sidewall on the rear tire, causing me to take it to a different business dealing with tires to have the rear tire replaced before leaving. From the first day on the trip, the bike began falling apart. On the first ride while at the festival, the forward controls came disconnected while doing 70 mph down I95, resulting in severe road rash to the controls and nearly causing an accident. Upon fixing, it was evidently caused by the absence of the tension screw used to hold it on. After fixing it and riding the next day, the oil leak was observed as being worse than original and gas was now leaking from the carburetor overflow (unknown cause). Once the carburetor was replaced, the ignition suddenly failed during the following ride. No idea what was done to my bike while under his care but it came back in worse shape than prior to his “fixing” it. The bike has been well cared for during its lifetime and now I currently have more money spent fixing what he touched than what was paid to him in the first place! Horrible experience dealing with this crook! Can’t stress enough, DO NOT TAKE YOUR BIKE HERE IF YOU VALUE IT AT ALL!!!!

This is a place to stay away from. He is a liar and a thief. He took my 2001 American Quantum chopper and sold it and lied to the police and said I came and got it. He just takes your money . My bike was there for over a year to get a turn signal and a rear sprocket fixed. And every month he needed more money ( 300 bucks. I said I'm not paying you anymore. I'm coming to get it He wouldn't not take the money and tossed the money in his yard. Then said he can make more money if he parts it out or sells it. Told me he would shoot me if I came back. I'm not stopping until I get the bike back. Don't take anything there ever!!!!

Great mechanic! Mark knows his stuff & has great prices & it won't cost you an arm & a leg to fix your Hog! Highly recommend him! Also his side kick Jackie is a sweet young lady!
