I contacted Alan for the first time, I needed to prepare my old bike for the season. Alan did a great job repairing and restoring the bike for a good price. I can recommend

Great experience! They delivered the bike straight to my door and Alan even taxed the bike for me. Very cool, they have answered all my questions very fast and the bike was in mint condition, brand new. Very pleasant experience, all very professional. ill keep in contact with them for a future purchase for sure.

Highly recommended shop for repairs to an older bike. I brought my Honda Innova 125 to Alan for repairs, and it needed alot done. They went above and beyond, to the point I felt like it was a totally different bike. Super happy with the service and look forward to dealing with them again!
