Service Description

Pricing: $75.00 (Base Labor) + Parts Most engine failures on vintage bikes happen because small problems go unnoticed. A loose chain snaps a case; a low tire causes a wobble; a dry cable snaps in traffic. That is why we don't offer a "Quick Lube." We offer an Annual Service Interval. When your bike is on our lift, we don't just pull the drain plug—we give it the attention it deserves. What’s Included ($75.00 Labor): Premium Oil Change: We drain the old fluids hot and inspect for metal shavings. Filter Service: Replacement of oil filter and new crush washers (crucial for preventing leaks). Chain Service: We clean, lube, and—most importantly—tension your drive chain to factory spec. Tire Patrol: We check the date codes and inflate tires to the correct PSI. 30-Point Safety Glance: While the oil drains, we inspect brake pads, fork seals, and cable tension. If we see a safety issue, you get a report. Transparency in Pricing (No Hidden Fees): We bill Labor and Parts separately so you only pay for what your bike needs. Labor: $75.00 Flat Rate (Naked/Standard Bikes). Sportbike Surcharge: Bikes with full fairings (plastic bodywork covering the engine) require extra time to strip and reinstall. +$25.00 Labor applies. Parts: We stock high-quality Mineral (Vintage) and Synthetic (Modern) oils, plus Hi-Flo or OEM filters. Estimated Parts Cost: $45–$70 depending on capacity. ⚠️ Important Booking Policies: Drop-Off Only: This is not a "While-You-Wait" service. We require the bike for at least 4 hours to ensure the engine is cool enough to touch but warm enough to drain. The "Stripped Bolt" Rule: If your drain plug was stripped or overtightened by the last mechanic (or a quick-lube shop), an additional labor charge will apply to extract it safely.


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
