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!

My Wife and I decided to get new motorcycles as we tour and vacation on our bikes and our old KLR650s are tired. We decided on the Suzuki Vstrom 650XT motorcycles. That model has been discontinued so we needed to act quickly! I was able to find two in the state (there may have been more?), one of them was here at South Sound Honda. I had cash (bank issued check) so the transaction was quick and painless. I'll bet we were there an hour at the most, minus the time we took loading my bike up in the trailer. They had the bike right by the front door with a battery tender hooked up to it with a full tank of what I think may have been ethanol free gasoline. 10/10 recommend this shop for your motorcycle needs!

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.

The customer service was also top notch and very welcoming and fast. If you need anything with regards to bikes- make sure you patron this establishment. I definitely will. Venue: it's clean, well appointed, and ergonomic. The only part that may be frustrating is the parking lot where you'll have to compete with the local coffee stand. To me, a minor distraction. The venue was relatively easy to find with Apple/Google Maps. Customer service: fast, knowledgeable, and courteous. It's everything you would want in a business. They want your business and they know how to delivers Service: it was relatively quick for a bike fix (tire). They have all the parts and a back area to work on it. I recommend you calling them prior to visiting for any specific need.
