This review for Chris and MotoMedic is long overdue. Chris' attention to detail and precision cannot be overstated when it comes to his work. There is truly no one like him--not only in mechanical ability, but in the way he treats his customers. He consistently goes above and beyond, whether it's routine maintenance, upgrades, or helping add a few farkles. He has kept my 13-year-old Triumph Tiger running in absolute pristine condition. What sets Chris apart is his honesty and straightforwardness: he tells you exactly what needs to be done and what doesn't, with zero upselling, ever. Just clear, honest answers backed by exceptional skill. If you want someone who combines mastery of mechanics with genuine customer care, he's the one you want working on your bike. read more

MotoMedic - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

From the start, Chris recommended a tow driver for me to get my bike to the shop, with my goal to fix it and sell it. While working on my bike, he explained everything to me along the way, in an educational and non-condescending way. Chris is a trustworthy pro who goes above and beyond. My only regret is that I found the best shop just when I'm getting out of the motorcycle game! I highly recommend this mechanic, a true rockstar in his field. read more

This shop is a hidden gem. I think most locals in Sonoma County already know the high quality of work that goes on here, but I'd be willing to drive hours for this level of service. Chris, the owner, is the absolute real deal. Not only is his knowledge and skill off the hook, he's the kind of guy you just want to go riding with. Chris is clearly a great technician and a craftsman, too. And, if you happen to have a KLR650, there's no better person in Northern California to advise you on how to get the most out of your bike. I don't know what else to say - great communication, excellent work, fair pricing... Does it get any better?!?! read more

MotoMedic - 2008 KLR650 running strong thanks to Chris at MotoMedic! - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Dealing with Chris and his shop has been nothing short of an amazing experience. He's professional, thorough, communicative and honest. It's hard to find a good shop that cares- and MotoMedic is that shop. I highly recommend bringing your motorcycles to Chris for service. I won't go to anyone else but him! 10 STARS read more

I just needed new tires mounted and balanced on my Vespa Pillagio but Chris not only did the tires he inspected and evaluated numerous areas on the scooter. I was VERY impressed with his knowledge & skills. He's my Vespa specialist now. read more

So, new rider here as of April, and out on a tour of California on my new bike. I get to the furthest reach of my ride and--loose chain. Really loose chain. I had seriously stretched out the stock chain riding all the canyons and going down the freeway with my buddy. Now--I'm nowhere near my buddy, or home, but I know it's not good to have 5" of slack in my chain, so I call up the only motorcycle shop with no "closed" info on Yelp, and leave a message. Chris calls me back, talks to me, tells me to bring it in to his shop in Santa Rosa the next morning, and settled my mind. Fast forward to today as I sit here. Chris is polite, knowledgeable, and told me exactly what part to buy to get this job done and me back on my bike on the road. He's working as I write this, which is pretty cool. He is by appointment only, but made a consolation for me since this was a high-priority event and I don't live around here (you're amazing, bro), and I have to say: if I lived around here: I'd get on his appointment list for sure to get any work done that I needed. Flat 5-star reviews speak for themselves. Thanks again, Chris. You're amazing and helped save my bike trip vacation. read more

This place is everything you want in a motorcycle shop. A good, honest mechanic. Got lucky and was able to get my bike in and out quickly, great price, friendly service 10/10 stars. read more

Better late than never, we are regular customers of Chris and need to update our review of our experience! Stellar as usual. Chris did a 600 mile service on my V Strom 1050. So happy to have such a detail oriented and quality service shop like Moto Medic, you know that the work is done correctly with care. Thanks! read more

My Honda Silverwing FSC600 needed service at 7,000 miles and I found MotoMedic based on the Yelp reviews. I took it in for an oil and filter change, new rear tire, and had Chris install my aftermarket windshield made by Madstad Engineering. He also checked my coolant and brake fluid levels as well as the quality of the coolant and brake fluid. He took the time to show me how to properly check the oil level with the bike vertical and not on it's side stand. As a first time customer at MotoMedic, I am very pleased with the service. Chris is honest and the prices are fair. I will be taking my bike here from now on. read more

I took in my well cared for dl650 for tires & chain and brought home a new bike. Chris noticed a few things and fixed them such as brakes & sticky brake calipers. He recommended a better chain than OEM and did various little adjustments. Wow, the old bike feels new again. If you own a Vstrom or SV bring your bike in to someone who owns one. I'll never go anywhere else. read more

MotoMedic - Tetons - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Knowledgeable and professional. Can't ask more from a motorcycle shop. He worked on my Honda ATV and ran by me everything he felt needed attention. Told me what should be done now and what could be done next time if I didn't want to take care of it all at once. Great guy. read more

Hands down the best mechanic I've ever done business with. Chris is friendly, honest, and great at communicating. Being on a budget, Chris took the time to explain various options to me and was willing to be as flexible as possible to achieve a great outcome. If you are looking for a very knowledgeable mechanic that you can trust MotoMedic is the shop for you! read more

I can't say enough good things about Chris. I have been taking my bikes to him for years. Not only is he highly capable, skilled, and meticulous, but also honest, a great communicator, and overall nice guy. I completely trust and respect him. read more

I needed a scheduled service on my Aprilia scooter, and Chris (a qualified Aprilia Tech) performed it quickly and professionally. I far prefer his service to that provided by the other local Aprilia dealer. They actually banned me from using their services because I voiced a complaint about their customer service (or lack thereof) once. read more

Chris is extremely helpful. I brought my Harley into his shop with a small electrical issue. He wasn't able to service my bike but he referred me to a shop that could help me out. He took the time to walk me through the process of getting my bike serviced. He also took the time to answer my many questions about the purchase of a new scooter. In the days in which customer service seems to have died, this business gives hope that there are still honest and helpful people out there providing quality help to customers. I know that when I do need service on my motorcycle that he can provide, I won't go to any other shop. Thank you MotoMedic. read more

So where do I start First nicest guy Chris! Extremely knowledgeable, extremely caring of his work and the accuracy, big communicator with customer. Prices awesome,love that he confirms with you BEFORE work is done no surprises when u show up at shop. Very clean shop too. Luv that he gives you a plan of what you should look at in near future to maintain your bike to last. I am glad we found this shop and look forward to working with Chris again. read more

Chris is fantastic.... Our group of 11 women rode up from LA...I had a rear tire failure and Chris jumped right on it getting us back on our way. He gave everything an extra safety check on my bike as well as my friends. If I lived in the area he would be my go to guy. Michelle read more

Chris expertise and the genuine care he has for his clients makes me very comfortable bringing my bikes to him for service. #happybikehappylife read more

Chris was awesome from the first phone call we had, he spent 20 minutes just talking me through options and what would happen. He was great at keeping me informed with the things he was diagnosing and fixing on my Vespa through out the day. It is such a great feeling when you find someone you trust to do business with. Like all the other reviews-I highly recommend Moto Medic. read more

I recently got a used Yamaha XT250 Dual Sport after being away for motorcycle for 30 years. I was referred to Chris at MotoMedic by Cycle Gear. I am so glad I was. Chris went through the whole bike and checked it out for me. I was missing some bolts and other little things and he took care of it. Plus he added a cool iPhone holder and 12 volt power source so I can now enjoy music, maps and more. Chris's shop is clean, organized and he is super friendly and helpful. Plus when I needed some special suspension work, he recommend me to 707 Suspension who also did a great job. So Chris knows what he's great at and knows motorcycle specialist who can help in other areas. No need to go anywhere else, Chris Rocks! read more

Chris is the man. Super friendly guy that's honest about the work you need done. I brought in my ruckus that I messed up working on by myself. I didn't really know what was wrong. He didn't discriminate on scooters like some other bike shops (he used to work at a Vespa shop) and he fixed the problem, along with a tune up. He also noticed some bolts where missing and threw those back in for me. Thanks again chris! I'll be back read more

This guy clearly cares about his work and customers. Reasonable prices and quick turn around. Much appreciated.

Bought a Yamaha R3 back in October 2015 & have put only 1800 miles on her. 2 weeks back my very first motorcycle got rear ended. Happened over the weekend so besides calling in an insurance claim I couldn't do much in the realm of starting on repairs. The damage was all cosmetic so I was able to get her home & stowed away until I could call a shop. As I was shopping around for a motorcycle mechanic on Monday, I found that a majority of them in & around Santa Rosa are closed on Mondays. I finally found the MotoMedic, placed a call & got voicemail but Chris called me within minutes of me leaving the message. I informed Chris what had happened & that I wanted to drop off my R3 that very same day. Chris closes shop @ 5pm & I usually get home from work around 4:30, the second I got home I hopped on the R3 & made it to the MotoMedic within minutes of Chris closing up shop. He went over exactly what the repair process would be & not only that he waited until my ride came to pick me up which was around almost 6pm. Chris is very accommodating with his service & kept me updated every step of the way. Always kept me in the loop of what was going to be done to the R3. Chris also made it extremely easy to deal with State Farm & the claim process. Got the R3 back a couple days ago & she's good as new. Chris is a professional & easy going guy, glad I found a dependable motorcycle mechanic to take care of my Yamaha. Will definitely go back to the MotoMedic for all my servicing needs! read more

I called asking about repairs for my bike, and was told that they didn't work on the bike I had. I was given honest advice on where to take my bike, and thoughts about each place. I'm sad that he doesn't work on KTM otherwise this is definitely the person I'd want working on my bike. read more

I can 100% say that all of the other review hold up. Hands down you will not find someone more customer service oriented, personable, and straight up than Chris. I recently got a new (used) bike that had a couple weird things come up after I got it. So did my research and made the decision to bring it to Chris. When i got there I was pretty much like one of the people in the mechanic commercials where I'm making weird noises and using my hands a lot to explain what was happening. Chris had ALOT of good insights and once I dropped it off with him I felt comfortable and knew my bike was in good hands. Heard from him later on with an update on his findings and suggestions he had on what should be done and what could wait, didn't feel pressured what so ever or feel like he was trying to milk some extra money (you know that feeling you get). When I went and picked up the bike he went over everything that was done, and what to keep an eye on. Bottom line is if you are looking for an honest knowledgeable shop that actually treats you like a human and not the next person who's going to give them some money you would be stupid not to go see Chris at MotoMedic! read more

Chris is so friendly and helpful and doesn't try to rip you off. He asked me for a budget when I dropped my bike off with him and gave me a call before making any decisions when he found metal in a tire. Couldn't be happier with him. read more

MotoMedic is the place to go if your looking for honesty and trustworthy work. Chris, the owner, has been around the industry for quite some time now. His passion for the industry and honesty with service will take him far beyond any other. No one out there can provide the kind of service Chris can. He's reasonable in his prices and won't gouge you or make you feel like your being taken advantage of. Again, he is honest in his work, and will go far and above any other, in his duty to serve you. I highly recommend taking your bike here. Once you see what he is capable of, you will never go anywhere else again. Chris has been servicing my bike for several years now and I will continue to trust in him to keep my bike in tip top shape. Congrats on your new business Chris!! read more

Chris is terrific! Honest and knowledgeable. He took one look at my bike and knew what needed to be worked on. He worked with me to determine what repairs I needed to do right away and what repairs could wait until later. My bike is running better than it has in years. Highly recommended! read more

This review is for an excellent and honest consultation rather than actual service. My bike is an ancient beast of a sportbike with serious personality issues. It experienced what we might label a catastrophic electrical system failure on a short road trip. Chris assessed the situation and clearly laid out his concerns that the work ahead may exceed the actual value of said ancient beast. We discussed the finer points and decided to hold off. It was excellent to have an intelligent, honest and clearly very skilled mechanic take the time to work out that decision with me instead of diving right in and asking me to open a blank check that could have been in vain. When I get a bike that's not so old and busted I know that Chris will be the one working on it! read more

I'm ashamed to say that this is the first Yelp review I've written after using it for years... But it just goes to show how fantastic MotoMedic's service was. We called Chris at MotoMedic the day before we were looking at a Vespa we had hoped to purchase. We wanted to get inspection rates and we really had no idea what to look for. Not only did Chris give us a super reasonable rate quote, he spent several minutes walking us through the things we should look for and test when checking the Vespa out. If that wasn't great enough, when we arrived for the inspection the next day, he provided the inspection for less than quoted and gave us a hands on lesson about everything we needed to know about taking care of our Vespa. What really blew me away was when he followed up with us the following week and gave us suggestions for tire gauges. Great customer service and trustworthiness aside, this guy is the real deal. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about all types of bikes and he will give you the best service. Thanks so much!! read more

I am so happy I found somewhere to take my buddy scooter for service. Chris is so knowledgeable and honest and provides the best customer service. His shop is so organized. I love how he goes over everything so thoroughly. You know you are in good hands with Chris!! read more

I can't even begin to tell you how pleasant and professional Chris was and is. My boyfriend and I came in on a whim to see if he could check out our clutch on a 1993 ZX11!!! Not only did he stop what he was doing to check on it for us, but he fixed the problem and did a quick once over for safely reasons!!!! I will be coming back to him for sure!!!! Thank you so much for your help!!!! read more

Chris has been wrenching on my bike for years... he's the only one I trust to keep my bike mechanically sound. I give Chris 5 stars for many reasons... Your safety is his priority, he always takes the time to show and educate me on the mechanics of my bike... He is incredibly thorough, Chris does a once over to make sure he doesn't find any seen or unseen issues... He's clean, I have never picked up a greasy bike... His prices are awesome and as a woman I appreciate that he doesn't overcharge or fix things that aren't "broken". His new shop rocks... bright and clean!!! You will not be sorry for trusting Chris to wrench on your bikes! read more

MotoMedic - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

See all

A truly honest guy. I will never take my v-strom anywhere else. Chris is a real pro. Good prices too.

I have to bring my review to the full five stars even though I have to actually pay money to get work done. haha But it is money well worth it. When you like to ride as much as I do let alone put as many miles on your bike as I do it's great to know the work is done and done right. And without the attitude most shops seem to come with. As long as I have a bike (which will be as long as I'm still breathing) Chris will be my ONLY mechanic. read more

Very knowledgable and honest - he suggested a lower priced tire after discussing my use even though he could have sold me something twice as expensive. His hourly rate is very competitive and he provides better customer service than a dealer. Will not take my bike anywhere else. read more

I just brought my 1983 Suzuki Gr 650 Tempter in for the second time for speedo and tach cables etc. Outstanding service and attention to detail. Refreshing. Chris says what he will do and does what he says. Price is extra reasonable. Great experience all the way around. Thank you very much. I will be back again! Sean H. read more

I needed some work done on my Honda XR 650L. Chris went above and beyond my expectations making sure that everything was taken care of. Now my bike runs cleaner than it ever has. He made sure to include me in everything that he was doing to my bike so that we were on the same page. If you're looking to find a mechanic who is straightforward, going to treat you right and do good work, then I strongly suggest you go to Moto medic and see Chris. read more

Excellent service. Texts with pics examining issues as they popped up. A tutorial at time of pickup. The best.

Excellent service! Very personable. You leave truly feeling comfortable and safe knowing your bike was taken care of and looked after! Recommending to all my riding friends! read more
