American Motorcycle - New fork seal front and rear tire clutch handle straighten American motorcycle for life - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

These guys are Great! Friendly, Fair prices and Knowledgeable and Skilled. What more do you want in a mechanic? Do you have an older model bike? Does it have carburetors? Mine does. These guys had my bike tuned up and running like new after several other shops told me to just junk my bike and buy a new one. They even came to my house to pick up the bike for a nominal fee. While work was being done on the bike photo updates were also sent my way -which I appreciated very much. These guys are what you want from a mechanic. Honest upfront and good. I found these guys through a neighbor but I hope you find them through me. I hope this review helps. Because I want them to be around for a while! Finding a shop like this is a rarity. I know they also do detailing and some frame work too buy not sure on the specifics ~ read more

Today i just got back my bike cause Mike was replacing the clutch. They are very professional, courteous and i feel like part of that family. They did a great job with my bike and also pretty fast for the type of service that my bike needed. I will recommend anyone that own a bike to get it fix there. I will come back for more services as they don't screw people up like other places that starts guessing what your bike could have. Thank you Mike, Jay and Big Pop. read more

Great place to have work done. I needed my forks rebuilt and they did a great job for decent price. I'll be bringing my back there soon.

2009 Hyosung gv 650. Had a great experience. Mike is a GENUIS and so is the rest of the team, they're NOT JUST PART CHANGERS they have GREAT TROUBLESHOOTING skills. They helped start up my bike within the first 10 minutes of me being there which makes sense because they've been doing this for about 50 to 60 YEARS. I'm working on my bike and they'll be helping me out all winter. They TALK YOU THROUGH the steps and truly make you feel like you know what's going on. And you can tell ur not getting screwed over for a quick buck. Their rates are AFFORDABLE and REASONABLE. ANY ISSUES they can fix, rebuild and even fabricate new parts. Going back soon. read more

If you want your bike damaged and kicked around this is the place to go.

Yea don't go here save your bike from this place read more

Friendly knowledgeable staff. They do good repairs for a good price, but usually take longer to complete the tasks than they estimate.

The guys at American Motorcycle are the best mechanics I have ever met. I brought in a 1978 Honda CB750 Super Sport that had been sitting for years. By the time they were done working, it was running like it had off the showroom floor. I was so confident in the engine that I rode the bike cross-country, from NY to LA. Not a single mechanical issue the entire 7k mile adventure. I will continue to send my business to American because they are a great group of guys that are honest, talented, and fair. I know I am getting the best bang for my buck every time. You will not be disappointed, as I never have been. read more

I've been going to this shop for the last 20 years, and they are the only ones I'll let work on my bikes. These guys know what they are doing, have a professional disciplined attitude toward work and are extremely well priced compared to competitors. They've seen and worked on the evolution of the motorcycle since their inception and that encyclopedia of knowledge is not something that easily attainable. I'd immediately recommend them to my friends and family, as they'd treat your bike as it were one of their own. read more

Great experience, I dropped my dirt bike off late on Friday nighy pick the bike up Saturday afternoon made it to the race for Sunday morning...not too bad on pricing either...definitely beats the dealership. The owner and everyone that works there is down to earth, honest and they do great work. read more

This shop is a HELL HOLE!!! I brought my bike on Fri 4/28 so they can have an idea of what they were going to work with. The son, Mike, looks over my bike & tells me more or less what it would need done. He tells me to bring the bike in on Tues 5/2. Shop hours are from 11am - 7pm. I get there at 11:15am on Tues & the shop is NOT open. There was another customer ahead of me looking perplexed also. 5 - 10 mins later, the father (Dave) peeks his head out the door & looks at us perplexed. The first words out of him were "I don't open the shop until all my mechanics are in!" The customer ahead of me asked Dave about a shifter issue he wants an opinion on & Dave told him "that he should turn the bike back to stock options cause after something is changed, they don't like to mess with it!" That customer left & Dave first had to open the gate for the shop then take out his van from inside. Finally, he asks me what I'm here for. I told him his son told me to bring the bike in for a tune-up & fluid change. He proceeded to ask me questions about the bike (that is right in front of him) that only a mechanic would know. I took off the seat & side covers looking for the info he requested, to no avail. During the time I was taking off the seat & covers, another customer comes in with 2 mini bikes. He proceeds to check her bikes out even though I had told him I couldn't find the info he requested. He even took a mirror to check the underside of one of the mini bikes, while chatting up THAT customer with idle chatter. Thank God that a friend of mine who followed me there to bring me back home was not in a rush! Finally Dave comes back to me telling me that he doesn't know what to do with my bike. I repeated to him that Mike said he knew what was needed, to which he proceeded to CALL Mike on the phone to find out what to do (at least 30 Mins have elapsed)...He calls Mike & hands me the phone while it's still ringing. Someone OTHER than Mike answers & just says in a monotone voice "this isn't Mike". Perplexed, I hand the phone to Dave & he figures out that the voice is another of his workers. He yells at the guy to put Mike on & he hands me the AGAIN BEFORE Mike gets on. Mike gets on the phone & he didn't remember me, to which I proceeded to explain when I was there, which bike in question, & what he said I might need (on Fri). Mike tells me that he has to look at the bike again, so I asked him how long til he gets to the shop. His answer was "I may be 20 mins away, but I hafta pick up one of my workers so I it might take longer". The next thing he tells me is I need to leave a $200 deposit & leave the bike so they can look at it (he NEVER mentioned this on Fri). Dave takes the phone & they start ARGUING with each other about it. Dave HANGS UP on Mike. The next statement Dave makes is "I can't run a business lie this!!!" AND "At this point, if you wanna take your business ELSEWHERE you'd be doing me a favor cause none of my mechanics are here & I don't work on bikes anymore, i just run the business!"...(What the HECK does 'running a business' entail?!?!?!)...By this time I had made up my mind that I was NOT leaving my bike with individuals that run a business like that. As I'm leaving, Dave said if I bring the bike in the next day (YEAAHH RIIIGHT!!!), & I hafta quote AGAIN.."DON'T come at this time, there's no one here this early!"... It was already past NOON!!!...They MIGHT be good mechanics as per previous posts, but they are IRRESPONSIBLE business owners!!! read more
