Once again RMC came through for me. After I bent up my front rim, Ricky helped me unmount the tire and suggested the best place to get it straightened out. Once the wheel came back we found the tire was also trashed. He ordered a replacement on Friday, and had it mounted and balanced on Monday. I can't thank them enough! read more

RMC Moto - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Santa Clara, California

RMC Moto - The most frustrating shop I've ever dealt with. If you love your bike, avoid this place. Dropped my bike off on July 8 for a simple ignition issue (likely the relay). They said they'd inspect it by July 10 -- but a week passed, and they did nothing. Every time I politely called (2-minute check-ins), I got rude replies like: "Stop calling. Just take it somewhere else." No updates. No inspection. Yet they charged me $80 for "diagnosis" and quoted $90 for a $20 relay part. With no sign of progress or communication, I eventually had no choice but to move my bike to another shop. And guess what? They fixed it in ONE hour using the relay I already had. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + In response to the owner's reply -- I want to clarify a few key points that were misrepresented. Before dropping off my bike, I spoke with Rick on the phone and was told that inspection would likely happen by Thursday, July 10. That verbal promise is what led me to tow the bike to your shop. Let's talk about communication. I didn't "keep calling" as you implied. I checked my phone records -- I called exactly three times over 8 days, and every single time I was responding to a missed expectation that *you* gave me. Each call was polite, 1-2 minutes max. I never raised my voice. I didn't demand anything. I was simply asking when I could expect my bike back, based on the timelines you provided. Thursday (7/10): I called because it was the promised inspection day.   You said other bikes were ahead, so mine would be delayed. Friday (7/11): I called again as instructed.   I was told "Maybe next Monday or Tuesday", and "If you can't wait, you can take it elsewhere." Wednesday (7/16): After no update all week, I called again.   That's when you finally said you had just ordered the part, with no ETA and no progress. But you never once reached out first. Not even to say: "Hey, we're running late," "The queue is longer than expected." or "We're still waiting on the part." Had I known from the beginning that the process could take 2-3 weeks, I would've made a different decision -- and saved myself from paying for towing twice. And after all that? When I picked up my bike, I didn't even get a basic apology. Not a single "sorry for the delay" or "thanks for waiting." Let's be honest -- if this happened to you, wouldn't you be frustrated too? This isn't about being "impatient." It's about being treated like a customer who deserves updates, honesty, and respect -- not like a burden for asking simple questions. read more

Just got my bike from RMC.. great service. Even got a free hug. Only shop I would go to.

Rick is an awesome dude. I took my Z750s in because it was leaking oil from the water pump due to overfilling oil during oil change. RMC rebuilt my water pump and now my bike is running great with no leaks. They did a few extra things like tightening loose hardware and serviced the chain for me which is huge for a busy guy like me. The cost of the service was reasonable and the work is good. I will bring my bike to this shop for any work needed. read more

RMC Moto - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Santa Clara, California

My son Henri and I needed work done on our '04 Moto Guzzi California Stone and '82 Suzuki GS650G. We typically handle most of our own moto maintenance, but circumstances meant seeking a professional. We discovered Rick Carmona's new shop, RMC Moto, in Santa Clara, about 10 miles from our house. He identified Henri's tire problem immediately, and explained the need for new tires for the Suzuki. Rick invited us into his inner sanctum, a well-appointed and tidy work shop, where he explained the tire's date code. We sat down together in his office and he ordered new IRC tires. My Guzzi needed new rotors, brake pads, oil and air filter change, and the gear oil checked out. I decided on new Michelin tires as well, and brought my Guzzi in to Rick's shop the next day. Henri's tires came in the following day, and we took care of the Suzuki. Both bikes have been handled with care by a true professional and a gentleman, something not all motorcycle dealers in the Bay Area can boast. Rick and I spoke about his racing, his involvement as a motorcycle safety course instructor, and his interest in bicycling. We became two peas in a pod in short order, and Henri and I are thankful to have found Rick, who works on all makes and models with equal parts patience, professionalism and speed. I highly recommend RMC Moto! read more

Rick is the man! I was in a bind with my 2001 CBR600F4i. I needed an engine swap fast as my bike was my only transportation. Dropped the bike and new engine off on a Saturday and he completed the job with a diagnosis by the following Wednesday. Not to mention additional work needed to be done to the new engine since the valves were stiff. Don't hesitate when it comes to bringing your bike to RMC Moto. Rick has an impressive reputation for a reason. Incredible customer service as well and he stays in communication with emails and calls. read more

Great service, Rick is very understanding and knowledgeable. It's very affordable compared to other places around the area!

Rick was as straight forward and accommodating as any guy can get. Heard about him through my uncle who gets his bike serviced here. Had to do my 600 miles service for my Yamaha R3 and great thing about Rick was he wasn't slammed with appointments so that I was able to drop it off the very next day. What really made this service worth it was the fact that his hours says he closes at 6pm. I get off work at 6, but he tells me that he will stay later and if I needed more time than 6:30pm to get there just to give him a call! Competitive prices too for a small shop, was cheaper than the dealer and shops near me. Worth the extra ride! Keep up the great work Rick! See ya for my next service. read more

Great service at a reasonable price. Unlike some other motorcycle repair/service shops, Rick is honest and upfront about the job and all costs involved. He's happily answered all my questions and went the extra mile for me. I am very satisfied with the work performed. Take your bike to him if you like good work and great value. Thanks again Rick. read more

Great business and experience. Did a valve job on my bike. Rick swapped some shims and passed on some knowledge and advice in a friendly casual manner. read more

Highly recommend this place. Rick is very knowledgable. I brought in my bike and he was able to send a quote very quickly listing all the parts needed and labor price. After I replied with some repairs I consider to do later, he kindly removed those from the quote (both parts and labor). Prices are reasonable. read more

This shop was the first place I went to for motorcycle repairs. At first it was great. Rick is an outgoing technician, and his work was done well and quick. However, the end of 2018 I took my brand new tire in to get mounted and balanced. After a day of riding the next day the tire was flat. I called 3 different times in the afternoon and the calls were all hung up. I was confused because he was always willing to talk before. I could not find the problem and had to leave the bike sitting because of some personal issues. When it came time to repair my tire I brought it to my nearest shop and they found the tire damaged on the sidewall. From my knowledge it was upon installation. I was at the shop and they let me tag along to teach me how to look for leaks. Before it was removed we found the leak with soapy water on video. So after getting a new tire I reached out to Rick to ask what he thought on the situation and he gave his opinion saying it was upon removal. With what I saw it was damaged exactly where we found the leak. He then gave me a slightly arrogant remark saying "you're welcome to come in so I can show you how we remove tires properly." Also the tire could have been damaged before installation and missed while it was being installed. I look at tires before I go get them mounted. That damage was not there before. My main problem is that it was mounted and he let me ride on it when it could have gotten worse while riding. If he did know about it, he just needed to be honest with me. He does good work majority of the time, but if there was a mistake during installation I would have hoped him to be honest with me about it. In my opinion after all was said and done, it makes more sense of why my calls were declined after he installed my tire. Sorry to say, but I won't be back. read more

Had some repairs to my 2009 FZ1 performed here. Rick was honest and knowledgeable. For any future motorcycle service, I'll go back. 100% good experience. read more

I have been coming here for bike repairs and services. Last week, I brought my Yamaha V Star 250 with a rear luggage rack and a Givi top box already installed. I basically wanted to removed the existing top box and put in a new one with the brake lights. Here is what he charged me for labor: 1. $120 for the top box replacement. 2. $30 to clean up the dusts in the rear wheel. When I picked up my bike, the rear wheel noise was still there, and he tried to blame the person that replaced the brakes. He would not allow me to test drive before paying. My recommendation: A. Go to Evolution Motorcycles or Santa Clara Cycles for all your needs. B. Don't let this guy over charge you for repairs. C. He will only repair or replace if you buy parts from him. D. I will provide receipts as evidence for verification. E. Don't buy tires from this place. read more

Rick and his team are the best in the business! I came to RMC with my R6 thinking I just had a battery problem. They took the bike in to run some tests on the battery and found out that my stator was broken and the battery didn't need to be replaced. Their great customer service from when I dropped off the bike to when I picked it up will definitely keep me coming back for all my tune ups and future repairs. read more

I've been using RMC Moto since they opened. Rick always has the right answer to my questions, gives me the time to provide the answers and recently handled an emergency tire problem I had. from puncture to tires installed in 2 hours and back on the road.Thanks Mate! read more

Took my VMAX in for repair and Rick was very helpful in looking over my bike for potential issues and helping me with replacing the tires and some other small repairs that needed to be done. All of it done with good communication and service. It was immediately clear in speaking with RMC that they are very reasonable, thorough, and knowledgable in their business.... I don't always bring my motorcycle to the shop for repair, but when I do, I bring it to RMC Moto! read more

I'm sure you've seen before, it's easy to cut corners when working on a bike. I noticed that these guys take every precaution and step to make sure my bike runs exactly how it should. Zero short cuts. This was by far the best experience I have ever gotten out of a service shop. The guys at the shop are so kind and caring, they take time to hear and diagnose your bikes problems PROPERLY. They want to know how they can help. On top of this, they could care less about jacking up hours for labor and etc... they just want you to get back out there safely! The whole experience was probably one of the best I have experienced out of a service shop. I even struck up a great conversation with one of their happy customers! I will keep on returning to RMC Moto. Period. read more
