Have had tons of bikes fixed and tires changed here. Tony is very knowledgeable and does a great job! Definitely recommend them!

This place has pretty much everything you need. At a price, you can afford. If all possible deal with one of the owners they are awesome and very cheerful the others need to work on people skills

I’m writing behalf of my partner. He got into a motorcycle crash in 2023, towed his bike to this shop & let them know he needed a quote. They told him it was super and the cost would be about the cost of the bike. Insurance claimed it repairable with only $4000 but would not release funds until bike is fixed. We did not have 13k lying around, for the most part they were understanding and worked with him. However Jason decided he wanted to talk to the insurance company to let them know the bike is totaled and see what strings he could pull which was fine at first because we thought he could help but for the most part it did nothing. Insurance only wanted to payout 5k nothing more nothing less and eventually my partner settled for the 5k because he was homeless for some time and super behind on bills. He’s barely recovering from homelessness. He got paid out in September but was trying to see if the bank could release the funds to put towards the bike and possibly use some of it to pick up the bike for storage fees but unfortunately he was unsuccessful as the bank did not want to release funds regardless it being totaled. Jason called the insurance company and they told him my partner got “paid out” already back in September. On the phone Jason seemed rude and unprofessional when he heard that information. I was there listening to the phone call between my partner and Jason and he barely let my partner speak. My partner was and has been a loyal customer to this shop since his whole family used to shop there. It seemed like a great relationship but that phone call told me otherwise. He got interrupted mid sentence and was not able to explain his situation without Jason interrupting. We were quoted $500 dollars to pick up the bike until Jason heard my partner got “paid out” which was nothing by the way. He settled for the least amount of money. So my partner gave up on exposing himself and then Jason bumped the price to $1200. My partner did inform him he could do the $500 but he’s living to paycheck playing catch up so he would not be able to pick it up until January but when the price bumped to $1200 they gave us ONE week to pick it up and anything after that was an additional charge a day after literally telling Jason he could not do it until Mid January. They were going to start the lien process IN JANUARY after informing he could not do it as soon as they wanted so to avoid the additional charges we just used all our rent money and paychecks to get this bike out of their shop and rent a U-Haul to tow it. Tony was nice and more reasonable with my partner and even told him he would’ve helped tow it down 10th if he had known. Overall we appreciate Tony but our experience with Jason completely changed our view on this shop and we did not feel understood or heard. Again this is not a direct review from my partner but from my personal experience during his hardship. He told me great things about this shop until that phone call & I was there to hear this phone call. My partner doesn’t even have a phone active due to not being able to afford a phone at the moment. He’s barley back to work after a year of battling with the aftermath of his accident which was not in any way his fault. We just hope we never have to be in this situation again and if we were to go back for any services we’d want to speak to Tony directly.

I needed tires swapped out for my bike and called ahead the woman on the phone stated it would be $25 each tire when I got there I was quoted $35 each tire which wasn’t even the worst part, overall I was charged $80 for two tires that I brought in. They told me it would only take a couple of hours and they would call me when they were done. 6 hours later the closed I had to call them in the morning to find out if my tires were completed. Two days later I’m headed on a trip to Sedona and I didn’t even make it 25 miles down the road before the rear tube exploded. The only reason I gave them a shot was because the tire machine at the chain store down the street was broken. I definitely should’ve taken heed to the negative reviews. But now I know better.

Recently bought a used dirt bike from them. This was my first dirt bike and I while I love the bike and was able to get everything working well, I feel I was misled.

The bike had numbers on it and when I asked the salesman about the numbers and if this bike was raced he said “a lot of people put numbers on the bike, doesn’t mean they race the bike.”  I did some research afterwards and it turns out the bike was almost exclusively raced by a Riders Choice sponsored racer who often finished 1 or 2. odd that the salesman didn’t know that.

I asked about why I should by from Riders Choice and was told, “they sell a premium product and they go through the bike and ensure it’s rideable and would work with me if any issues came up.”

I asked about the hours (95-ish) and where the bike was at in maintenance and was told the oil was changed before they put it on the floor and the bike was looked over.

I got the bike home and rode a few hours and noticed a few things so I decided to go through the bike. I noticed the previous registration sticker expired two years ago,  the oil seemed darker than what it should be  and I needed to tighten my front spokes for any ride over 30 minutes.

Got a hold of a repair manual and noticed the recommended maintenance. At 100 hours it recommended to do the top and bottom end… I blame myself for not doing better research prior to purchase, but it would have been nice if they were a little more upfront and transparent.

I decided to also replace the rear spring during this time and while doing so, I don’t think the rear suspension was ever serviced. Everything was dry and the swing arm bearings were missing some needle bearings so I replaced those and greased everything up. The bike was starting to look like it was rode hard and put away wet…

Now changing the oil, the drain plug was seized on (took me a pry bar and some bolt extractors to break loose) and the oil screen plug required a two foot breaker bar to get loose. In addition, one of the oil filter cover bolt holes was stripped. Either a gorilla changed the oil last or it was last done a few years ago and sat.

Moving to the front wheel, I noticed about a quarter inch of side to side play. Had to replace the completely corroded and clunky wheel bearings… again looking like rode hard and put away wet… also noticed the date code on the tires, 5 years old.

I get that it’s a used dirt bike and it won’t be in new condition, but I have a feeling of being mislead and I cannot trust a word from any of the employees. I wouldn’t trust them to work on any of those issues neither.

I felt I paid more because it was a dealership where they had experienced mechanics go through the bike which I was good with. However, I would have been better off buying from some random person on facebook marketplace.  The bike looked nice, but turned out it was in rough condition and might need the engine rebuilt soon.  I’m pretty sure the only thing they did was pressure wash it and put it on the floor. Maybe swapped out the rims and tires and put on an older set.

I completely overpaid and now have no trust in my local shop.  Admittedly, I blame myself for not doing better due diligence and just completely trusting what the employees were saying. However, I wouldn’t even go back to buy a quart of oil.

That was my second experience with Riders Choice. My first time I took my Ducati 848 there several years back to sync my throttle bodies. They ensured me that they had the expertise to do so so I took the bike in.

After being notified the bike was ready to be picked up, I got dropped off and went inside. There the cashier brought up my invoice and I paid for the service and told me to go out back to pick up the bike.

When the technician brought the bike out he informed me that once they opened the bike up, they realized they had no idea how to do it so they put it back together without doing the service.

When I asked what did I just pay for he said the time of inspection.

Riders Choice got me twice.  One star for me being a sucker.
