They weren't able to help me with the custom exhaust I was looking for but very friendly and offered some contacts for other places that might.

Sean (service technician) and Mike (owner) Performance Cycle and Auto Ltd recently did the valve clearance, seals and spark plugs on my Kawasaki Ninja 650r sport bike. I do some of my own mechanical maintenance work but decided to leave this job to the pros, everything seems to be on the level with Performance. The bike runs very smooth now and I found the whole team very helpful. They patiently answered all of my questions. I also had them flush the coolant out of my 2008 Chrysler Pacifica this winter. Great service, honest with good workmanship.
