Oscar is the man! Just had my wheel tires swapped. Super fast. Very professional. AFM friendly. Ended up chatting and talking about racing during the tire swap. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks Oscar. read more

One word. Honest. Why? Oscar does not try to up sell you or give you bs. He sincerely gives you advise. On top of it, he says it like it is and if he can't do it then he recommends someone else. Come on! Most places would be like "no, we don't do it. Bye" I needed a change in my back tire due to a nail, called him up and asked if he had time to do it. He said, sure! Come on by! --- life saver!! Didn't charge me for a premium or anything. Brought the bike over, ended up buying a set of tires and he got me in and out in 30-45mins in time for my meeting. My work schedule is outside of his shop time but he tries to accommodate me. He goes out of his way when I get to the shop after work close to 7pm so I can get my motorbike back. What!? That's fucking stellar service. The shop is next to Autozone, same side. A small opening, you could possibly miss it. The lot is shared with another car shop, he is at the end of the lot. Slow down, and you'll be able to catch it. New favorite, I'll definitely be a repeat customer. He treats me like any other motorcycle rider, not because I'm a female and I should be treated different. He keeps it 100% real. Thanks! read more

I been in motorcycle shops before.. it's all abut the service and small details. Marcus and the other mechanic fix water leak on my Yamaha R6 in few minutes I will definitely come back to them again ! Honest professional fast and fair prices!! I'm highly recommend them ! read more

Race Pace MotorSports - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

Oscar is fast, knowledgeable and helpful. I stripped a bolt while installing a water pump and called Oscar to see if he could help. I brought my bike over the same day and immediately got to work. After he installed the new part, he inspected the bike and found a serious issue with the bolt that holds rear shock in place. He fixed it and got it back to me the next day. Honestly, Oscar saved a life that day. If the bolt holding the rear shock ever came off, it could have been catastrophic. 10/10, reasonable prices, honest and highly recommend him for any future service you may have! read more

We happened to be staying in the San Jose area for the weekend. We took a ride from the LA area and figured my tires would make it there and back. My tires were done by the time we were supposed to return. I came in to this shop and met Oscar. He recommended some road 5 Michelin's and to this day these tires have been fantastic. I don't usually write reviews I just click on stars but when the customer service is above and beyond I will take the time. Thanks! read more

Very nice owner and easy to contact. I was able to drop in and get work done on the motorcycle the same day. I will be sticking to this shop for the rest of my riding career. Would definitely recommend everyone coming here. read more

So I met the owner: Oscar at a track day and he seemed very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to tips about my bike and riding. He mentioned he had a shop in San Jose and Ive been coming here ever since. Any parts I need need or service on bike Oscar always gets the job done. Its hard to find honest and helpful shops like this nowadays. read more

Awesome service hands down. First time I went to Oscar was because I was frantically looking for a stator on my 2005 R6. Everybody was letting me down, but as soon as I called Oscar they had me with my motorcycle ready the next day on a Saturday. Been going with him for the last 2 years and even with my last minute procrastination part orders he still makes it work, which is hard when it comes to motorcycle parts. And of course the fact that he has fresh Michelin's in stock for the track at all times makes it that much better! read more

So here I go...It's taken me a while to post this review because I get busy and lazy too. A few years ago I met this guy named Oscar over at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway and in talking to him I found out he had a shop in San Jose called "Race Pace" He seemed very knowledgeable about bikes and racing. Pretty cool and chill guy as well. About a year or so ago I took a ride up north with some friends to visit San Francisco and stayed with some friends in San Jose. While over there I had a leak in my tire and my other friend was having issues with his idle. I remembered Oscar and looked him up. Even though it was near closing he took us in. He patched up my tire quickly and worked on my friend's idle. We left it overnight but had it running good by early next day. Completely honest guy and no BS. Pricing was very reasonable. Also earlier this year I rode up with some friends to Monterrey for the Laguna Seca WSBK weekend. I came across him helping out another fellow rider with his tires. He was awesome enough to help me adjust and lube my chain at no cost since I didn't have any tools on me and couldn't do it myself. Totally Awesome of him! Total Stand up dude and I will surely go to him next time I'm in the area and need anything. read more

I was in need of a new mechanic for my CBR. There are really only a handful of motorcycle mechanics in town that I know of and I'll leave it there. That left me with only few choices. One place I should b able to take my bike hides behind their name and exploits their devoted customers by insulting prices and bad attitude customer service. That being said I was fed up. So I found racepace and skeptically called them. There was an answering machine and I left a message. I was already done with them. Twenty minutes later my phone rang. It was Oscar from racepace. I ended up cruising down there unexpectedly just to check it. Oscar stopped what he was doing to help me out . He actually made room and got me in that day . These guys are sharp, they are pro, they are prompt, and they are honest. As a customer I have to trust my mechanic with my life, thanks man . read more

This shop took over the shop that used to be San Jose Yamaha - which went out of business. Oscar, who used to work at San Jose Yamaha, is the new owner. Because I always got good service at reasonable prices from San Jose Yamaha, I figured I'd give Race Pace MotorSports a try. I called on Wednesday afternoon to see if they'd be able to service my Yamaha FJR 1300 without a lot of downtime, and Oscar said "bring it in when we open and you'll have it back in the afternoon." And that's exactly what happened. Oscar is also working with Yamaha corporate to bring back the Yamaha dealership franchise. Right now his showroom is empty, So at this point (July 10, 2015) don't go there looking to buy a new motorcycle. Check the Race Pace website to see what progress he's made with getting the franchise. For now though, the service is great! read more

I know Oscar has a Great reputation at the race track, and I was having some problems with my 05 R1. I dropped my bike off after hours as I am super busy with work during the day. Not only did Oscar meet me after hours, he was also very informative, about the process my Bike was about to undergo. She was all ready to go in a few days, but Racepace discovered a different issue, with the bike. Upon further inspection, it was determined my cam chain was worn, and stretched bad. Luckly for me, when they actually got in there to change the cam chain, it was discovered my cam chain guide was cracked. Not only did Racepace save me a ton of money, had the problem been overlooked and I skipped a tooth while riding. But also, possibly a serious injury due to engine failure while riding. Oscar, and Racepace, went above and beyond. They made sure I was a satisfied and safe customer, trusting my R1 to them. They did alot it work, and did some extrra things to make sure i was taken care of. I recommend Racepace motorsports as an excellent and qualified shop, to handle all your bike's needs. Thanks again Oscar, and Racepace motorsports. read more
