Pre-Purchase Video Consultation
Don't buy a lemon. Bring a mechanic to the deal (virtually). Price: $75.00 (30-Minute Video Call)
Service Description
Buying a vintage motorcycle online is a minefield. Sellers hide rust, disguise engine knocks, and "forget" to mention missing titles. A shiny paint job does not mean a reliable bike. Before you rent a trailer or hand over cash, let an expert vet the bike for you. How It Works: The "Listing Audit": You send me the Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace link before the call. I analyze the photos for non-stock parts, crash damage, and missing components that you might miss. The "Seller Test": I provide you with a specific "Script" of questions and photo requests (e.g., Cold Start Video, VIN Stamp, Tank Interior) to send the seller. If they refuse to answer, you walk away. The Video Call: We jump on a 30-minute Zoom/Google Meet call to review the evidence together. What We Check: Title Verification: Does the VIN on the frame match the paperwork? (Crucial for 70s bikes). The "Cold Start" Analysis: We listen to the engine video for cam chain rattle, valve tick, or starter clutch failure. The "Money Pit" Scan: I point out expensive-to-fix issues like rusted fork tubes, rot in the exhaust, or "unobtainium" missing side covers. Why pay $75? Because spending $75 now is better than spending $1,500 next month on an engine rebuild you didn't expect. I give you a simple "Green Light" (Buy it) or "Red Light" (Run away) verdict.
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
