After riding for a few weeks, I noticed my forks were leaking oil, so I took it to Nor Cal Cycles for a repair. From the moment I walked in, Alfie greeted me and made me feel welcomed. He took the time to listen to my concerns and scheduled an appointment for me to drop off my bike. About a week later, Alfie reached out with some honest recommendations, including changing my tires which I happily agreed to. His honesty and kindness are truly refreshing in today's world. Where finding folks who take pride in what they do a bit tough. Alfie also shared with me additional advice about my bike once I came to pick it up, which was great. A huge thank you to the entire Nor Cal crew, and especially to Alfie for making this experience so smooth. I'll definitely be returning!

Crosspost of my Google review of my firsthand experience of renting a motorcycle from there, and…read morejust how blown away I was by the overall experience. tl;dr -- local area intimidated total beginner squid had a very good overall first experience renting a moto and getting on the road for real As a brand new rider fresh off my M1 endorsement, I came in more nervous than I'd like to admit. Nini at the front desk was absolutely perfect for the job imo: compassionate, reassuring, and exactly what a first-timer needs before throwing a leg over a bike for the first time for real. Freddie and Henry were great too, really easy dudes to talk to and very helpful with sharing tips and other pointers for me. I'll be honest, I dropped the bike an equal number of times on both sides over the weekend, all at zero mph (embarassing af). Symmetrically bruised ego, perfectly balanced. Returning it felt intimidating, but the whole team handled it with zero judgment and genuine professionalism. I didn't try to hide anything and they made the whole process painless, albeit with some monetary penalties caused by my inexperience (I own up to this though). I'm leaving with my wallet lighter but with my heart genuinely fuller for the experience. The environment this shop creates for nervous beginners like me is genuinely rare, and it made me feel supported and motivated to come back and do better next time. Will absolutely be back for my next rental and keep getting ride time in, because real experience gained like I did is priceless. The human element of the shop is just cherry on top, and makes me feel good I'm supporting a local business. Shoutout to Nini, Freddie, and Henry. You made a squid feel welcome.

Ryan is very communicative and answered all my questions. The slingshot has Bluetooth that can connect to your phone for music and a USB slot. Also storage compartments for your bags. We drove up the skyline, down the 1, hit up Santa Cruz and back up on the 17. Such a fun route with the slingshot. The weather made it even better with no top. I highly recommend this for those looking to do something different! You won't regret it!

We rented a car that seated 6 people and it still had space to fit 1 more person. It had enough space to place our luggage for 5 days trip. Since we booked it during ThanksGiving season, we had less options otherwise they had a lot of great options. Car was nice and clean. Very well maintained and had less miles on it. Connecting phone to the music system was little tricky but it was manageable. Its located near San Jose downtown so its a convenient location. Would surely recommend this place to rent big cars.

In the comments, Tammi stated an excuse that was not once mentioned to me before. It is appalling…read morefor me that a business would make excuses instead of simply apologizing for their actions. They were extremely rude to my parents in person and lied saying they called when they never did. Then, because of my review, tried to change their tone on Yelp. I ended up calling to see if they would resolve the issues and nothing was resolved. They blamed it on the online platform and had me go in circles. At the end of the day, they kept my money that they essentially stole. They told me it was stated in their terms, which, by the way, I couldn't find because they purposefully hide. If it is stated in the terms that miles are not unlimited, then the business should NOT state unlimited mile. Based on CA contract law, it doesn't matter if it is in the contract if it is hidden. You can't prove contractual intent, one of the elements of a valid contract, if you intentionally make it nearly impossible for someone to see and advertise false information first thing on the page. This place has no sense of professionalism. If I had the time, I would definitely take them to court. I previously wanted to give this place zero stars. Now, I want to give them negative stars for wasting my time.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place and their employees. Just got back from a…read moreweekend at Pismo beach. I rented a CanAm Turbo from them and had a blast. Worth every single penny! You may think what they charge is expensive but try and rent a Atv or Utv from the businesses in Pismo and you'll realize how reasonable their prices are. The best part is you have it for as long as you want. No, oh shit I gotta have the rental back in 10 mins nonsense. Most of the ATVs and UTVs you rent on the beach are beat up, rusted and in horrible shape; hours of abuse from inexperienced riders and salt water take a toll on the equipment and it shows. I know because we do yearly trips to Pismo and I've always rented from Arnie's or Steves ATV. Not to knock them because they are friendly people, but their equipment just sucks. ‍ I picked up OCRVs CanAm and it was flawless!Clean, and ready to rip. I also walked around their place and saw that the rest of their rentals. They're all updated and clean. Not like the other places TBH. I will definitely come back here EVERY SINGLE YEAR from now on. Keep up the amazing work and awesome customer service. Me, my family and friends will definitely be back soon! You guys f***kin rock!

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!…read more I'm concerned that this company generates More revenue from charging people for damage, than actual rental services. There was superficial aesthetic scratches as you can see in the photo. We were told, that these tiny scratches are worth 25% of the entire cost of the part ($1400). Do you think these scratches justify 25%? In reality, it's more like 0.1% of the cost. --so how many customers will they do this to? 10? And reap a 250% return on this part? -HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. I'm all for paying for damages but this is ridiculous. The money maker is charging customers for cumulative replacements. You're NOT SUPPOSE TO PROFIT OFF DAMAGE CHARGES. Or is that the entire point of this business? If you've been ripped off by this business, please reach out, as we may be interested in class action litigation.
