Full Engine Rebuilds Consultation
Precision planning for the heart of your machine. Price: $100.00 Credited toward your build if book.
Service Description
The engine is the "black box" of any vintage motorcycle. Whether it’s seized, smoking, or just tired, you can’t fix it with hope—you fix it with physics, chemistry, and cash. This consultation is the critical first step before we crack the cases. We don't guess; we plan. We will review your engine's symptoms, history, and parts availability to build a roadmap for a reliable resurrection. What We Cover in 60 Minutes: The "NLA" Parts Audit: The biggest risk in vintage engine work is "No Longer Available" parts. We research the specific availability of pistons, rings, cam chain tensioners, and bearings for your specific year and model before we tear it down. Performance vs. Reliability: Do you want a factory-stock refreshing? Or are we boring it out for a big-bore kit, electronic ignition, and mild porting? We define the scope. The Machine Shop Timeline: Cylinder boring, head decking, and valve seat cutting are outsourced to specialist machinists. We give you a realistic timeline (often 4–8 weeks) for this machine work so you aren't left wondering. The "Basket Case" Assessment: If your engine is currently in boxes, we determine if it's even complete enough to rebuild or if you are better off sourcing a donor motor. Why the fee? An engine rebuild is a $3,000+ investment. This consultation ensures we have a verified parts list and a solid plan of attack so your engine doesn't end up as a permanent fixture on our workbench waiting for a part that doesn't exist. 💡 Pro Tip (Save Money): We prioritize LOOSE ENGINES. If you remove the engine from the frame and bring us just the block, you will save roughly $500–$800 in labor and get a faster slot on our bench.
Cancellation Policy
APPOINTMENT CANCELLATION & RESCHEDULING POLICY 1. THE "24-HOUR" RULE Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for your motorcycle. We require at least 24 hours' notice for any cancellation or rescheduling request. Notification Method: Cancellations must be made by phone or email. Social media messages (Instagram/Facebook DMs) are NOT considered valid notice. 2. LATE CANCELLATIONS & NO-SHOWS If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, or simply do not show up: Standard Service: A $50.00 cancellation fee will be charged to your card or added to your next invoice. Major Work/Drop-offs: If you scheduled a drop-off for a major project (engine rebuild, restoration) and do not show, you forfeit any pre-paid scheduling deposit. Repeat Offenders: After two (2) consecutive no-shows, we reserve the right to require a non-refundable 100% pre-payment to book any future appointments. 3. LATE ARRIVALS If you are more than 20 minutes late for your scheduled drop-off or consultation: We may be forced to reschedule your appointment to avoid backing up the rest of the day’s work. The Late Cancellation fee may apply if we cannot accommodate you that day. 4. THE "RIDE-IN" WEATHER EXCEPTION We understand that motorcycles are weather-dependent. Ride-Ins: If you planned to ride the bike to the shop and it is raining/snowing, the 24-hour fee is waived. Please call us by 9:00 AM on the day of the appointment to reschedule. Trailer-Ins: If you are trailering the bike, weather is not a valid reason for short-notice cancellation unless conditions are severe/dangerous (ice/storm warnings). 5. RESCHEDULING LIMITS To keep our project queue moving, an appointment may be rescheduled a maximum of two (2) times. A third rescheduling request will result in the cancellation of the work order, and your spot in the queue will be released to another customer
