BEST MOTORCYCLE MECHANIC IN VANCOUVER! I've been taking my bikes here for a little over 2 years. Stefano has always taken great care of me and provided amazing customer service to anyone I've referred. Stefano truly cares about his customers and it shows in the quality work he puts out. If you live in the lower mainland you need to get your bike serviced here.

Rode my Vstrom across the country from Toronto to Vancouver. My bike needed a tune up, and the first place I searched up said they wouldn't be able to fit me in until the week after for a simple tune up. Thankfully that didn't pan out, because Stefanos and team are beyond exceptional at what they do - they are equally amazing humans! Even though they were booked up, they still managed to find an hour to work on my bike to ensure the rest of my roadtrip went smoothly! Thanks guys!
