I do most of my own maintenance, but I'd like to find an independent shop for repair or modifications that require more tools/expertise than I'm blessed with. I'd rather support a small indie than waste time and money at the dealership for things like tires and motor work, etc...

Anything suggestions in the Los Angeles area would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys - this forum has saved me countless hours and $$'s.

 

We work on bikes. What kind of work are you seeking to have done?

 

Looking for a shop to do tires and brakes in next couple months. And a go to place for upgrades/repairs down the line...

Thanks for the reply. I'll check out your website.

 

The term "LA" covers an awful big area!

 

BornFree Cycles in Van Nuy's have helped me a few times on my 91 springer, some good guys and they both worked at the dealer and got tired of the bs, ask for Alex and the mech Mark is a good and honest mech. Check em out

 

Ive had friends use the following for everything from maintenance - engines - and Cycle Doc, bennetts and Hard Luck for Dyno work

Long Beach - Bennetts Performance
WLA - Twin Thunder
Santa Clarita - Hard Luck Choppers or Fire Breathing ind
Costa Mesa - Cycle Doctor

 

Thanks for this. I remember an Alex who worked at Glendale HD - this the same guy?

 

Good point! I'm in the hollywood area, so hoping to find a shop somewhere between hollywood and santa monica or in the nearby valley...

 

Cool thanks. Twin Thunder is in my area. Appreciate the tip.

 

You don't say what part of LA, but if near the South Bay, these guys are fantastic. Reasonable prices, and the owner Mike Martin is extremely knowledgeable....
