George outright lied to me. He was selling a bike and I asked if there was any damage I should know about. He said no it's in good condition. I drove 3 hours round trip. When I. Arrived the bike showed major damage to the frame. When I showed dissatisfaction he became belligerent and told me to "Put My Big Boy Pants On". I would not trust this person for any reason. You have been warned. read more

Walked in for a fuel pump and walked out with a lecture. instead of helping me one of the guys there said "don't tell me you bought a bike without riding it do you even know what you're doing" he kept saying "sorry to be the bad news no one is telling you" completely disrespectful and ignorant. Bought my pump at cycle gear and bike is up and running. No issues read more

George and Bud are best. They do great work and charge fair prices. Highly recommended!

George and others lowered the suspension on my KTM EXC-F and put a set of Golden tires on it. I couldn't exaggerate how cool these guys are. They took a lot of time explaining many things to me and instructing me and got the bike back to me within a week. read more

If you need work done on a dirt bike this are the guys to go talk to I dont trust anyone els working on my KTMs. Good prices on time and when it come to setting up your KTMs suspension I don't think anyone knows more about it then ESP read more

Three types of people I find really hard to trust are lawyers, politicians, and mechanics. George is a mechanic, a really good one, and more importantly TRUSTWORTHY. I'm fairly new to the sport but he didnt treat me like an idiot, was extremely helpful, talked me out of alot of probably dumb shit i wanted to do to the bike, and all the advice the shop gave me was spot on. They dialed in my suspension (bike performs night and day) and put new tires on. They didnt try to upsell me on anything and actually (once again) talked me out of a few things. George and the staff at ESP are super nice, genuine, they love what they do, and it shows in their work. Its a bit of a drive for me to get to the shop but worth it 100%. My bike will only be going to ESP. LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR BIKE. Thanks again George and everyone at ESP for your help. read more

If only I had visited this shop sooner! I took my 500EXC down to ESP to get the suspension reworked. We had a good chat, they made some recommendations and wrote up a clear quote, which I approved. A week later my bike was done and I noticed improvement in all areas of my riding. I was especially impressed with how much better the bike steers in the dirt and how stable it has become in the sand!! Thanks guys!!! read more

If you have a dirt bike in SoCal, you need to use these guys for all types of service and installation. I have a brand new Husky and they were able to dial in the suspension and mount some great new tires that work better than the stock. George and his guys know their stuff and will listen to what you need so they can give you the best advice and direction. George was very highly recommended and he exceeded my expectations. read more

Love the guys over at ESP. They dialed in the suspension on my 2016 KTM 500 EXC. They took the time to walk me through everything and explained what was needed and why. Looking to buy a new KTM XCW in the next month and ESP will be the only place to service my new bike. Finally found a local trustworthy KTM shop. read more

Their set up saved my life on a big jump. After break in, the forks and shock go to ESP!!

Great place with great customer service. highly recommend. these guys have been doing this for a while and know what they are doing. took my first shock for rebuild there 15 years ago. read more

Awesome! Excellent knowledge and service. So lucky to have these guys around. George and bus know their stuff, and did a great job on the fork rebuild on my street bike. Thanks again! read more

I've been going to george for years he's the only one I trust with mine or my sons bikes his Suspension "Magic" is truly 2nd to none! I wish he did Harleys! read more

If you're a POC I advise you not to come to this place. On entry, I was COMPLETELY ignored- the only person there, by the way. Finally, I asked for assistance- I asked specifically what I needed, was then recommended something else. In the middle of our conversation, the owner walked away from our conversation to take a phone call. Overhearing, the conversation the individual on the phone was asking for the EXACT same thing I needed and was given thorough, helpful advice. Unbelievable. Mind you, the owner never came back to our conversation. As I mentioned, only person at the location, not busy- did I look like I had no money? Was I rude in any way? Gaslighting at its finest. I did nothing wrong. They're either...let's call it, 'judgmental', read between the lines or they were having a bad day. What an utter disappointment. Any other POC reading this, I'm trying to help you out. Go elsewhere. Judgement is alive and thriving at this location. What a shame for a motorcycle enthusiast like myself. Zero stars if I could. read more

You will not find a better shop for high performer off road motorcycle suspension and engine work. Plus they are friendly, fast and the prices are what they should be. read more

Brought 2 dirt bikes for service. Better then expected. Service is amazing work is amazing . I'll be bringing all of my toys here from now on read more

George and his crew are a rarity these days. They are skilled craftsmen with an exceptional customer service attitude. It's obvious that these guys love their jobs. Very clean and meticulous in how they approach their work. Be honest about your riding abilities, weight, and expectations and they will deliver an exceptional result. They also provide fine engine service for single cylinder dirtbikes. I had them tune the forks and shock for my KTM 950 Adventure. After much collaboration with me, George came up with an excellent tune. Though the big Adventure isn't a true "Dirtbike" he managed to find the sweet spot that makes for well handling street manners and very plush offroad ride. Fantastic! read more

I have been taking all my bikes to ESP, from a 125cc scooter, 250cc cruiser and 650cc naked. While they are a suspension/dirt bike shop, they do not discriminate. Every job they have done for me has been fast, high quality and reasonably priced. Everything from rewiring to chain and tire installs and re-tapping engine exhaust mounts has been done to great standards. They are always busy, so if you really need them, be patient. Its a testament to their practice that they almost never have the time to slot in anything on a whim. George is truly helpful and to the point. I will continue bringing my random selection of bikes to them for any job I don't care to take on. read more

Called ESP to set up an appointment to take my 2012 Kawasaki KX450F in for a suspension size up, front fork seal job, and some minor motor work. They were very professional and had a great bedside manner. They treated me with courtesy and a very professional approach. They were very helpful and informative regarding everything they were going to do. They completed the work in a very timely manner. I will definitely be going back there for all my biking needs... read more

The shop was recommended by Scott's Performance. I have a Yamaha WR250R dual sport and had a blown front fork seal, which I was unaware of. Note: don't ride your bike with blown seals! The fork oil will get on the front brake pads and there's no brake left that will allow you to apply the correct amount of front/rear pressure, lest you need to modulate the front. Anyhow, not a good idea to lock the rear brakes and give a handful of front brakes in the dirt in a panic situation. It will usually lead to a spill. I can attest first hand - ouch. Fast forward; picked up my bike yesterday and drove back up to Cal City. Rode from my house to Jawbone Station (14 miles) and did a nice late afternoon ride, approx70 mile loop. Night and day difference between stock and the last time the bike had front fork service or factory setup. I was thinking of ditching the bike on Craigslist? The WR is a heavy, underrated bike, even at its best, hello Jenny Craig. I wish that would help. The worse thing is having a heavy bike that has poor suspension. :( Not the case anymore. The bike feels so much more composed, predictable, agile and safer, despite the heft, we're talking 300plus pounds of Japanese Steel. I can brake less and carry the speed greater over the crest and through the rutty stuff. I typically turn off the engine on the steeper downhills and let gravity do its thing, you have to love physics... I typically ride alone off-road, not so smart, so it's important to have a good bike that doesn't give you surprises, the rest is rider error. So George and his workers took care of the seemingly unimportant, the front forks. I have zero regrets about spending the money. I now am keeping the WR250, the bike is actually fun to ride now! Kudos George. Now I need to do something with the stock rear shocks, the fronts feel that good. read more

These guys are the best. George is one of the friendliest people I have ever met and the rest of the staff is always willing to help you out

Fast, knowledgable, fair and honest. I never hesitate to have ESP work on my bikes. And these guys can do a lot more than suspension. And while you mostly see dirt bikes out front, they know street bikes too. read more

I'm real glad I found this business, great work on my forks and rotors. Friendly and PROFESSINAL shop. I was looking for a good shop for my bike. FOUND IT! Thanks George real happy to meet you. read more

Great people always friendly and I don't feel like they are trying to get you in and out they welcome you and want to help you.

George, Bud, Derek and the rest of the team at ESP are just great. They are talented, knowledgeable motorcycle mechanics and just all around good people. I just bought a 2014 Yamaha FZ1. The bike is big and much more of a motorcycle than I am a rider. ESP has taken good care of me and hasn't talked down to me because of my lack of knowledge. On the contrary, they have spent the time to talk me through things and have made me feel very welcomed. I highly recommend them. read more

ESP is the best! Quick, fair and friendly. Not just a KTM shop!! All makes and styles. If you ride/race off road , ESP is your place

George and the team at ESP are second to none. Best shop in town. I've been going there for years.

Awesome shop. George and his staff really know their stuff. I get all of my service done here now. They are also nicer than the staff at Hobby People. read more

ESP was recommended to me after I had some bad experiences at other shops. I have not been anywhere since. George runs an awesome shop. Always remembers me and answers all my questions honestly. Would not take my bike anywhere else. read more

These guys would be good at any business, I'm glad they chose motorcycle repair and lucky me- they really know their KTM's!! I had a relatively minor repair I needed on my old bike and they treated me with the utmost of respect! They went way above and beyond and helped with several other issues saving me a lot of money. They are super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and completely honest!! What more could one want? I wanted to tip them and regret not mentioning that-I will try to bring them something extra next time I am there. Highly, highly recommended!! read more

George and everyone over at ESP made my first experience needing motor help quite enjoyable. Not only did my motor get fixed in the time it was promised, but I was given a pretty sweet deal. I would 10/10 recommend! Very knowledgeable and funny, thanks guys for getting me back on the bike! read more

I wish I could say how amazing these guys are and how well I was treated by these "professionals", however; for me that was not the case. These guys are totally unresponsive. After four failed attempts at calling in to get a price and four failed promises to return a call, I have decided to take my $ elsewhere. They might turn a good wrench, but there is no replacing common courtesy and respect to a fellow rider. read more

Great guys! I brought in my Honda Magna 750 cruiser that was leaking fork oil on the right fork, and they found that it was missing the oil lock piece (bought the bike used and someone must have rebuilt the fork without putting this piece back in). They ordered the part and got me back riding. They got the job done quickly and were friendly thought out the entire process. I definitely recommend them. read more

Taken my dirtbike there many times. George and the guys no what's up! Can't recommend them enough.

ESP is the gold standard for suspension, service, advice, customer service and they are just plain old good dudes that really know the business. George and the crew set up my 2008 KTM 450 EXC-R for the 2016 LAB2V dual sport ride and I couldn't be more happy with the service, with the set up, and with the performance of the bike. I needed to lower the bike a bit, and George really took the time to understand my riding experience, my needs, and what would be be the best approach to setting up the bike... George saved me a lot of money and delivered a bike that I could finally ride with 110 percent confidence and make me an even better rider!! George and all of the guys at ESP are the best!! I trust ESP with ALL of my service needs! read more

ESP is awesome I have an older KTM green sticker 2-stroke . At most shops if you're not a pro rider or don't know all the latest lingo they treat you like a piece of s*** if you don't have a 2014 or better bike that they can bolt parts onto they hem and ha about how hard thw job is gonna be correct me if I'm wrong but all shops have an hourly rate that is the same for a 1916 motorcycle as it is for a 2016 motorcycle. My bike is a bit of a Frankenstein I thought my shocks were Marzocchi and George spotted them from inside the shop in the parking lot and called out that they were WP 43 s these guys know their s*** he set up my bike got a brand new coil custom-made rebuilt and adjusted the forks and race sag for my fat old ass. I got back into riding after a 15 year hiatus 2 years ago. After 2 years I got pretty good again but after I have the suspension redone I'm riding better than I have in 20 years and the difference riding my bike was night and day I couldn't be happier not to mention my bike was ready the day before he said it would be. read more

Just about no one else touches my KTM exc 350 f except for ESP. I travel from Ventura just to work with this shop. They took this bike that KTM struggled to make California legal and worked it into a solid desert bike that happens to be plated. They even took the time to advise me on which bike to purchase in the first place knowing that I was just getting back to riding after several years away. They assist with all aspects of maintenance and keeping the bike set-up current. Their efforts make riding just plain fun. read more

George and his team have always been helpful and honest. Since he opened, I've taken all the family bikes for service and always happy. Happy environment and attitude. read more
