    My 2005 Honda Shadow 1100 wouldn't charge the battery at all... the dreaded Stator & Rectifier…read morefailure. Vince, who is retiring in October after 50 yrs. Of working on motorcycles... has earned some long-term self care riding of his bikes and racing bikes... Best wishes in retirement Vince! Vince got me right in within days of ordering parts, fair quote sine he'd just finished another Honda Shadow charging system... picked it up today and it purrs like a red tiger! Thank you Sir for an excellent job and positive experience... Now time to ride! Sincerely, Mike Ames

I had to put a few more accessories on the bikes and noticed that the OEM fasteners were missing in certain areas and some were just the wrong bolt and needed a washer to jerry rig the pieces together. If someone can even put a bolt back where they found it, we have a problem. I began to investigate further, he wrote down the valve clearance on the receipt and when I looked it up, it was the wrong valve clearance! I called up a Honda dealership and explained the problem and they were able to get me in right away and verify that indeed, the valve clearance was definitely wrong. Vince would say that there is a discrepancy in the manual between metric and SAE. In the end, I spent another $2000 to have the job done right. Vince would say I should have brought it back to him, but the trust was long gone at that point. I left some very specific notes on what was needed to be completed and what I did NOT want done. He put the wrong oil in the bikes, he used air filters I did not want or replaced. Bottom line, I brought the issues to Vince's attention and he did nothing to make it right. I would NOT recommend anyone use Vince and save their money!

    Typical misogynistic bike shop TLDR: Performed adjustments without my permission, didn't even…read moreperform the service I asked for, then spoke to me condescendingly as if I don't know what a bike is. I went in to get my derailleur adjusted for some ghost shifting issues and to bleed my breaks since it had been a few years and I noticed that my rear breaks were feeling spongy and were taking a while to engage. I have a hardtail mountain bike that I like taking out on trails, so I did not want to be dependent upon my front breaks. I was told that they would take a look at my bike and then text me a quote for how much the service would cost before they did any adjustments. They did not text me a quote for service, but instead went ahead and made the adjustments without my permission. When I went to pick up my bike, I was ignored while they helped the men who walked in well after me. When I was finally able to get my bike, I was told that my breads did not need to bleed since they felt "solid" and just needed a little extra pull on the lever. I was then condescendingly told about my front breaks, and to "use this one when you're going downhill too fast and feel scared". Rode my bike around a bit, and the issue with my derailleur is not fixed. This shop is a waste of time and money.

    Guy at the counter was abrasive, took my bike in for new inner tubes, wouldn't let me see the…read morerepair work he was doing.. when he was done things were wrong that had never been before. Told me the work was done but when bike was submitted to me they had disconnected brake cables (to do tire work presumably) and left them disconnected!! A guy named Will took over and reconnected front cables. The brakes had always worked great until I took the bike to this shop. Now the front ones are ok again but the rear wheel slips when I brake. If you do go to this shop ask for Will, he seems more ethical and competent than the other guy whose name I don't know.

    My family and I were stuck on I-5 and needed a reliable place that could help in a pinch. I…read morecontacted several shops in the area but most were either unable to help us with the short notice or unable to provide us with a clear plan. After several towings and 18 hours later, I was able to reach a plan of action to get my vehicle back from Chehalis to Seattle. I reached out to Maximilian Motorsports thinking this was going to be another dead end. Not only did they provide me with realistic expectations (Thanks, Max), but also were able to replace my alternator the next day so we could have a functioning vehicle. Thank you, Max and the team at Maximilian Motorsports. Your service and sense of urgency were greatly appreciated. Teddy

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience with Maximillian…read moreMotorsports. Maximillian Motorsports was recommended to me by Auto Tech Services out of Rochester. Unfortunately, due to the experience I had here, I will no longer be bringing my vehicles to either business ever again. I brought my 2013 BMW 328i to them with a check engine light, but the vehicle was still running and drivable. Their own initial notes stated that though it had a rough idle, the car drove okay. After a two week wait and based on their diagnosis, I approved a major Valvetronic repair totaling several thousand dollars because I trusted their professional recommendation that it would resolve the issue. After the repair, the vehicle was in significantly worse condition and would no longer maintain idle properly. I raised my concerns and was eventually contacted directly by the owner, Max, who told me the car had been personally test driven, was in better condition than when I brought it in, and was drivable, although it still had a rough idle and needed additional work. Based on those assurances, I paid the remaining balance and picked the vehicle up. After a sketchy drive home the car home, it would no longer stay running at all. I understand older European vehicles can have multiple underlying issues, and I was never expecting perfection. My frustration comes from paying thousands of dollars (6000 total) for a repair that ultimately left the vehicle in worse condition than when it arrived. Communication throughout the process was poor and inconsistent, and expectations were not clearly communicated. Even the owner, Max himself, acknowledged directly to me that the business needed to improve its communication and standards. I attempted multiple times to resolve this professionally before posting this review. I would strongly encourage anyone considering major repairs here to make sure they fully understand the risks, possible outcomes, and financial implications before approving expensive work through Maximillian Motorsports.
