The Hate City Annual Service: comprehensive maintenance and multi-point tune-up for vintage motorcycles.

The "Hate City" Annual Service

$75

45 minutes

About

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.
