I always get quality service & reliable advice how to maintain or repair my bikes. Reasonable wait times with some potential delays due to them always being busy, but always professional and friendly. You pay for what you get, and I never have a problem paying them for custom service that is reliable. Owner Joe will literally pull up parts/issues & educate the reason why there's a problem or the cost. Other shops treat you like you're optional, they treat you like family. read more

Recently, my fiancé and I came to Cycle Tech with the tire on his bike. All my fiancé asked was to have the tube replaced, and nothing more. We had dropped off his tire around 11 A.M, not hearing anything for the next 5 hours from either of the two men working at the shop. We called around 4:40 P.M only to find out they were JUST going to work on my fiancé's tire, and less than ten minutes later they called my finance back, letting him know he was "missing his spline." We informed my fiancé's brother, who was paying for this (he even told the younger guy there that he wasn't paying at pickup. That someone else would be paying). He was confused, and we all went to pick up his tire. We had already found it weird neither one of the two guys working could explain shit to us. They couldn't explain over the phone or in person. The only thing they had said to my fiancé's brother was "if the wheel is like that, then the other part that connects to it should be damage as well too" (Drive Shaft) but when we had removed the wheel, we checked EVERYTHING, and it was not SHAVED DOWN the way they told us. We took the wheel at 11 A.M in good condition. Nothing was wrong. The normal wear and tear we have seen. But when we got back to the wheel, the "spline" in question was shaved off and damage. These guys half assed a job because they were irresponsible and lost track of time. They fucked up a part of the wheel needed. They mentioned buying the part from them or eBay. Don't come to this establishment. They won't own up to their mistakes. They find ways to scam and make a paycheck. And if you leave a bad review they might call you and try to guilt-trip you to take it down. Trust me. They got time to call and throw a tantrum for shit service they give. But they won't fix your bikes. They'll only mess them up instead of doing their job. As shown in the photos the Drive Shaft is perfectly fine and the other part of it is mess up (Hub Clutch) which they fucked it up. read more

Cycle Tech - The perfectly fine driveshaft - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Summit Argo, Illinois

Great customer service, professional mechanics, knowledgeablr estimates and pricing. I had an electrical issue on my bike for the past few years. No one was able to figure it out. I brought my bike in, and within minutes, literally within minutes the problem was diagnosed and repaired. (Every situation is different) I did not have to leave my bike over night, I rode it hime the same day I brought it in. I would rate my experience as ( 5 * ) and I would definitely use this business in the future. I highly recommend the Cycle Tech business. read more

They took care of me and price matched the install on tires for my ATV! Very professional men. I would recommend this business establishment to the next one in need of tire needs for motorsports. Really easy going group of guys. Honest and very helpful. Thank you guys read more

I was struggling getting good service from an HD Dealer. An acquaintance recommended Joe at Cycle Tech. I could not be happier. He and his team made all my requested repairs, he found a few more and discussed them with me including all costs. After picking up my Road King, I discovered he made a few more repairs and adjustments I had not asked for. It has been years since my bike has run this well. He tweaked the brakes, starting and shifting. I estimate the cost was half of what the dealer would have charged. All I can say is thanks. Very good work. read more

Joe and his staff fix what is wrong NOT what you think may be wrong. He's saved me more than Ive spent. Just had my Spring prep work done and hopefully I wont need their expert services till winter storage. read more

Their not cheap, but they worth every penny. I have GXSR 1000 2003 and they fixed the things I had wrong with it. Again it's not cheap, but if you want it down right the first time I recommend you check them out. read more

I brought in my barely running 1986 Honda Elite scooter after 4 different shops refused to even look at it. Joe, the owner, was pleasant on the phone and pleasant in person when I dropped it off. He even helped me unload it off my truck. When I went to pick it up he took the time to give me a detailed explanation of what they did and how to avoid further problems. He then loaded it back on my truck for me. 10/10 experience, can't thank Joe and his guys enough! read more

They Picked up my motorcycle, charged $75 just to pick it up. It has been about a week so I decided to come on in myself and see what kind of joint this really is. Surprisingly, the back of the place was full of people and their motorcycles just chatting so I guess thats a good sign. I ride a Ninja so I am fussy where my bike gets serviced so to my surprise, I went inside and saw that there were many guys fixing various bikes including a few Ninjas. This to me made me smile because that means they are sensitive to the bike and respect the fact that it's not always about making money. My motorcycle is now ready. It required a few things since its been a while that I have even ridden in the streets of Chicago. Complete, he charged me $485.00 to get it together and I don't mind that at all since my bike is ready and I no longer have to worry about it giving me drama. I am really excited to know that it is now safe to ride again and that Joe and his crew took really good care to get it together and fix it as it should be. Oil change, carburetor issues, a flush and a few other things that I was told about. I like the fact that he told me about my tires starting to crack also, so of course I will be getting new tires soon. That I can appreciate too because a lot of places will not tell you for parts they don't carry in stock. He said I could ride it around but that if "it was him," thats all you need to tell me so of course I am now looking for new tires. I do appreciate the fact also that he has storage there for winter. A little bit expensive to put away for winter, compared to places I have been to but to guarantee that it should be in tip top shape in spring, I do like that of course. read more

Cycle Tech - The front of the joint. - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Summit Argo, Illinois

Wow. It keeps getting worse. Now the bike makes a horrific noise when I try and start it. My bill was around 2,500 bucks and really - my bike seems worse off than when I brought it in.. Also, (this could be just an odd coincidence, but I am not convinced) I can not get on the Cycle Tech website now. I seem to have been blocked. I received a message that said my account has been suspended! I hope this is not a deliberate action and is just a computer anomaly, but suppressing, contradicting, or burying a bad review instead of trying to make good just seems to be bad business policy. read more

If I could give cycle tech -7 stars, I would. If you like your bike and don't want to waste money, I suggest you go to a different shop. First, I brought my bike in to have the clutch looked at and a few easy things fixed. When I brought my bike in, I was told I'd get a call the next day because they were going to look at it asap. 5 days went by and still no call. I called cycle tech just to get an update. Joe was so rude about it and seemed like me asking about my bike was an annoyance. 3 days later he called and said my bike was fixed. He told me the clutch was perfect and he was "ripping the bike down the street." We proceeded to tell him there is definitely a clutch issue, and he was telling us that we were wrong. He finally agreed to look at the clutch again and charged me an additional $260 for "FURTHER INSPECTION." We told them there was a clutch issue from the start, and they shouldn't have charged me additional for that because a clutch issue was the main concern we needed to fix. Also, when we picked it up they had no idea if there was even any oil in it. After knowing what had to be fixed with the clutch, he told me all the parts wouldn't be there for a while, and then called the next day saying it was finished. So they lied about having the parts in stock. The entire time cycle tech had my bike, I had to be the one initiating conversation with them because they did not communicate anything with me. Keep in mind, I'm a female and there seemed to be no men there with the same issues. There was not a point in time where I felt I was being treated fairly. Everything I said, they tried to make it sound like I didn't know what I was talking about. After all of this, he wouldn't allow me to test the work they did before I paid $851. Even though there is a sign behind the counter that says, "if we don't fix your bike, you don't pay." I just wanted to make sure everything they said was done to my bike was actually done. Upon looking at the bike, we noticed they didn't touch a few minor things that we had on the list and were charged for. Overall, a VERY poor experience. I will never return to this shop again, and I will never recommend this shop to anyone. read more

I was charged $380 to replace my ignition coil boot on a 2017 300r. I they had my bike for nearly a month waiting on the part because it was on back order, so I ended up ordering one myself and bringing it up there. After being told that the job would be $200 which in my opinion is still high for this type of job (ignition coil boot) I went to pick up my bike and was hit with the bill of $380 an some explanation of time and trouble shooting lol even after I called the same day I dropped it off and told them it was the coil boot that needed to be replaced. If you want unreasonably expansive prices and weeks of wait time this is the perfect place for you. I had a cluch done here on the same bike and it took 2 months to get my bike back . read more

Great place! I knew of there whereabouts but had never used them for service of any kind. Had driven by many times. Anyway, I needed new tires put on my bike and didn't want to use H. D., they just seem to be top dollar for anything. I had ordered and had the tires in my possession. I called cycle tech and talked to Joe. I was given a ball park figure and told to drop off bike and they'd have it done that afternoon. Bingity boom, three hours later I get the call all done. The real important things I learned there was about bike storage, the oil starting to leak off the heads, and most importantly tire break in. Maybe spent 30 minutes talking with Joe and I find myself more informed about my bike then ever. I recommend this shop. read more

Joe was great. I rode my Harley to his shop in regards to the audio issues that was installed by another shop he reviewed the issue with it even though he was very busy that day. He also shared his advice to me on the fix. I highly recommend this shop and I even though it's like 70 minute ride for me I will be going to Joe's business for work in future. Thanks, Joe! read more

I went to Cycle Tech and they removed a rear hub seal retainer for me for $10 and I tipped Joe 15.00. I will be going back there with more business. Other shops didn't even attempt to remove it. Skip the other shops and go here! read more

Best Shop on the South Side. Been working with them and getting parts in with them for two years and they treat regulars like family. Highly recommend this shop for yall. read more

Joe was able to pick my bike up after it stopped running, get it running, and drop it off after he was finished. Fair price, nice guy to work with, bike runs great. Will use again if needed. read more

They do excellent work. The only place I take my bikes. Top quality caring and, honest. read more

I've had several previous bikes serviced here. Their reasonable with price depending on what service you need for your bike. I don't think theirs ever been a time I over paid for service on any of my bikes. They do good work at a reasonable price which is good. I do recommend any motorcyclist to take their bikes here and get service done. read more

I own a Harley and I took it to them with a flat. They not only helped me but did not overcharge me. The service was great and the owner Joe is fantastic. He not only explained the problem but showed me proof. I was in and out in about an hour. Great service and great techs. Bring your motorcycle here you won't be disappointed. read more

Thorough work, skilled mechanics, fair prices, hospitable staff. What more can you ask for? I live in the city but still drive to the suburbs to get my maintenance work done at Cycle Tech. read more

Picked up our bikes from here yesterday and had such a great experience. This place was excellent with customer service throughout the storage period, fixed quite a few accessories on our bike as well as necessities from a broken clutch lever and an overheating Harley as well as other wiring and battery components. Our bikes both run like new after picking them up for the Spring and were shiny, cleaned up for us and ready to go with regards to fluids. Joe Jnr. helped us with a plate cover and screws before we left and it all comes down to the little things that count most they definitely go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of! Thank you for everything CT. read more

Stopped in to drop off my bike for transmission diagnosis. Figured it was going to be a major project. Joe stopped what he was doing came out and took a look at the bike, assessed and fixed the problem in about 5 minutes. Was a 50 cent part that went squirrely on me. That I never would have thought of and other shops said leave the bike and we will get to it in a week or 2 They just got a customer for life read more

I will only trust this place with my bike. The owner went out of his way to talk to me about what he did to my bike and made feel comfortable. Prices are not bad and the customer service is outstanding. I will definitely be back. If you care about your bike this is the place to go. read more

Been going to them for 10 years. Not only great service, but quality advice and instruction when I wanted to do things on my own. Can't thank Joe enough for helping my friends and I over the years read more

Best mechanics in the Chicago area. They fix just about any type of bike and make sure it is running good before letting you go home on it.

I took my Ducati 749 in for a simple height adjustment. They told me they had to remove a faring in order to adjust the front. I paid $81 for the adjustment and when I took it home I noticed the front faring was not reinstalled correctly. The guiding pin was not in properly making the faring stick out. I also found some small scratches that weren't there before. They must have lost a bolt because it was missing one. I had to go through the whole bike checking every bolt and faring to make sure something wasnt going to fall off when I'm riding. In conclusion, the customer service and attitude was good but the work itself a little subpar. If you want them to treat your bike like a gem when they work on it this is not the place. read more

Spent a thousand dollars on motorcycle repairs there and the bike stopped running after a week. Cycle tech refused to come get it in the rudest of ways. Save your money. They don't back up there work. read more

In spite of being overwhelmed with repair request, Joe and his team were super responsive. They made sure my bike was right before it left their shop. I highly recommend Cycle Tech for any motorcylist looking for a reliable, quality motorcycle repair shop. read more

I just had my 2012 FLHR (Road King) serviced here and have all good things to report. Joe, who is the owner or manager or something (seems to run the joint), is a fountain of knowledge and a great guy to chat with. He seems to always be in a hurry, and if you stop by the shop you'll see why (they are BUSY!), but don't let that put you off. They had my bike back ready to go in under 36 hours. Plus Joe gave me tons of advice and ballpark numbers on things I want to do next winter. Do not walk in expecting it to be a Harley stealership. I did not see any free donuts or coffee, nor were there any chicks selling $300 boots and $50 tshirts. Heck I don't even think they sell bike parts. It's really an old school mechanic shop start to end and while cheaper would always be good...You can't really beat this! Also they do have a Dyno on-site and pricing for that itself was cheaper than anywhere else (other than mobile units at shows) that I've ever seen. I didn't get any pulls - was tempted - but they were busy and I really don't need a depressing dyno sheet to taunt me until winter comes around. read more

Joe the owner is great. He is honest and fair - which is hard to find. I won't take my bike, or my wife's bike, anywhere else. -Diesel Baldwin read more

Cycle Tech is awesome. Joe the owner provides excellent advice to ensure the best possible options for your Motorcycle. I stopped going to Cycle Tech for a while strictly for travel convenience but I was not able to duplicate Cycle Tech's service and experience. The travel and traffic congestion is definitely worth the quality of service. read more

In October 2007, I got a tuneup, oil change, hydraulic flush, replaced some oil seal, replaced the clutch, and replaced the front brakes. Finally my brakes stopped squeaking since the last time I had them replaced. I paid $581 for parts and labor. It took a while to get some of the parts in, but I got my bike back in about a week. The shop was busy, and we waited a long time for service. Joe was very friendly and accommodating. Otherwise, overall good experience. read more

I was in a total bind and the owner saved the day. I live in Chicago, about 15mi from this place, but was buying a used motorcycle in the area. I contacted the garage (and the owner Joe answered). I asked him if he could do a full inspection of the bike before I bought it. Now this is amazing. Not only didnt he UP sell me, he DOWN sold me. He got some info over the phone and when he realized that the used bike only had 2500mi on it he said. "Listen. You really dont need a full inspection. Here is what I'll do for you. Bring it buy, let me look it over ... and There will be NO CHARGE". I was blown away. This is how you build a business in the service industry. So I get there and he did as he promised with NO pressure what so ever to loop me in for any services. He spent 10-15 minutes looking everyone over, getting under the bike, looking at all the major areas. Then, he took it for a test ride for 5mins. I cant say enough. I have been telling everyone about this place. If you live anywhere close to these guys ... stop in and check them out. Signed, A very happy new motorcycle owner read more

I recently purchased a Harley Davidson motorcycle and I wanted new exhaust pipes for a bit louder sound. I took it to Cycle Tech. There I met Joe and his son who gave good recommendations that would save me money, nothing wrong with that. They gave me a date that worked with my schedule. The work was done quickly and with no problems. I am very satisfied and I recommend them. read more

Been using Joe and the guys @ Cycle Tech as my mechanics and winter storage vendor since 2002. No one treats you as well as they do. For anyone living in Chicago, such as myself, it's worth the ride out there to do business with them. In fact, it can be a nice last ride before you put 'er away for the winter. read more

Honest helpful and exelent workmanship. The owner in spite of doing the work of three or more people still finds the time to make sure that you know that you are important to him. And his staff works hard providing an excellent and professional shop. read more

I took my bike in needing some work. Joe and the guys went over it and found it didn't need as much work/parts as I thought it would. They got my bike running great for less than I planned. When I went to pick up my bike, Joe took the time to go over everything with me as well as give me preventive maintenance tips. I would and do highly recommend Joe and the guys. Great service, reasonable pricing and something that's all too hard to find....honesty!!!! read more

Great guy. Very honest. Does a great job. Highly recommend over ANY other place in and around Chicago.

Very pleased with the repairs and customer service I received from Joe and one of his mechanics. They took time to show me what was needed and explain the repairs. They worked on two of my motorcycles at the same time. Dang carburetors! Not cheap, but thorough. If they were less expensive, I would have given them five stars. I will return for future repairs. Cycle Tech possesses the qualities that I most look for in a mechanic, honesty, experience, and the ability to fix my motorcycle. read more
