Wow! This is the first time I had Rolf's work on my '05 Yamaha Royal Star, I couldn't be more pleased. Great communication, fast service during a busy time AND most importantly my bike is running better than it has since I've owned it, even at idle it sounds better. I highly recommend them.

This company had me in and out in 1 hours with a new tire on my GS. Others could not guarantee a one day install. Great mechanics and owner that is willing to help a out of town rider. read more

These guys have always treated me right and given my bike the TLC and the best it deserves!

It's an Old School Shop. And they serviced My Cartridge forks for My GSXR, r&r the fork seals and oil. 2 years later still working Great!! read more

I went in with my yz426f Yamaha and they fixed it but damn the customer service in this place is horrific. Like I get it high stress, motorcycles are funny especially if your a beginner. Ok so I went in a second time (glutton for punishment, I guess) my generator had the same problems as my motorcycle I figured yeah they can fix this. I was greeted with "WHAT", then told they didn't have time. Ok, I get it my money isn't green enough for this place. High tailed it out of there. Good luck going in there. read more

This was the place my son had his motorcycle fixed right before my son had an accident. The motorcycle failed at some point and he lost control. The report states that he traveled 181 feet before his landing spot. The report also states that the bike may not have been working properly. My son spent three months in the hospital recovering from a serious TBI. I am not sure if it was the bike itself or a combination of issues but if the bike wasn't fixed properly then it could have caused the accident. read more

Only shop in the area that would fix our moped. They even delivered it back to Boulder. So incredibly grateful to them.

Rolf did a great job with my 1978 honda. It is clear he knows a lot about older bikes, I live in Boulder but took it to him because I've had the shops around here try and rip me off, and it was a great decision! Definitely worth the trip if you want to be able to sleep at night knowing your bike is in good hands read more

I know Rolf has a good rep, and I really don't want to have to write a review like this, but it really is warranted. I had a starter issue, along with some other things wrong with my WR450F. I took it to Rolf in October, end of the season. He kept it until Mid December due to a part shortage. Understandable, not a big deal. I could have ridden more, but nothing anyone can do about it. I go on my first ride in May. Bike starts no problem, but on the ride I shut it off and it won't start. I troubleshoot it to the starter motor. Clearly a dead spot/defective motor. I call Rolf, and he says: Sorry, parts have a 30 day warranty I'm out of luck. He hangs up on me when I start to argue. Lesson learned. Don't take your bike here, especially at the end of the season. He won't stand behind parts he put in your bike! read more

Rolf's Motorcycle Shop - This is the exact part, since I have now pulled it and am about to replace it myself, which I should have done instead of taking it to Rolf. - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

My boyfriend's motorcycle clutch cable broke while he was riding today, and because that's his only means of transportation he needed it fixed same day. We were referred to Rolf's by a motorcycle shop around us and were not disappointed. He was able to get us in, got the cable custom made and got us out in an hour!!! Great customer service and we will be coming back in the future if we ever need to!!! Thank you guys again!! read more

Received quote for tire replacement labor from them two days ago: $45 per tire. Went there today and he said $75 per tire. Went to the dealer and ended up paying $50 less. read more

I recently purchased a Kawasaki KLX 250s which I determined was too tall for my comfort level. I reached out to the dealer that I purchased to from and unfortunately they could not modify it. They advised me to contact some local Moto shops. I randomly reached out to Rolf's shop after hours and he called me first thing the next morning. I took the bike up that day and we discussed options. I chose the basic option and unfortunately it didn't get me to a comfort level. Rolf searched for another option to get the bike low enough. i got the bike back today and it's perfect. Rolf is beyond professional and kept me informed throughout the process. His guys are amazing! I plan to take my ATV to Rolf and give it some updates. I highly recommend and he has a long customer. Thank you Rolf and your guys for making my bike perfect!! read more

Very experienced and knowledgeable. I took my Polaris 550 Sportsman in for minor repairs and service. Rolf could have easily charged me for more labor and I would have been none the wiser. But he only did work that was needed and justified, and only charged me for what was needed and justified. It's running great now and you'd never know it was rolled. I almost felt guilty about paying him so little. I've been going to "certified Polaris" shops for years and now realize I've wasted thousands on mechanics that are fresh out of school. I'll bet Rolf's mechanics have more than 50 years experience between them. I'll definitely go there again, whether it is for major repairs or simple service. And I'll send all my friends there, too. Polaris ATV's, Harley's, Honda dirt bikes... whatever they've got, I'll send them to Rolf's! read more

I had worked on my clutch problem for two days. In under a hour they had it fixed and back on the road. Next time I will bring it to Rolf first. Very fair price and a shop being run by real motorcycle guys read more

Excellent service. No bike is too esoteric, exotic, or vintage. Have followed him around at his various shops over the decades and will continue to do so. read more

OK, of course ANY motorcycle shop is going to get negative comments here....cuz, in general, they suck. Shops are set up to rip people off across the board. The have the skills and knowledge that you (and I) lack, or we wouldn't be there in the first place. Same with any mechanic, unless he's your friend/relative. That being said: Bob's Motorcycle Shop knows how to fix XS650 Yamahas, and mine runs like a top after their repairs. Of course I wanted to spend as LITTLE money as possible, and they wanted to MAKE as much money as possible. So, you should keep your guard up for sure. The quote they gave me went up when they found a busted piston skirt, and replaced it. I spent a lot of money there...but, they fixed everything. They completely rewired my bike, and rebuilt the motor (top end only.) They fixed things that several different competent mechanics couldn't. I'm building another XS bobber and wouldn't hesitate to take it back to Bob's....and probably will. You just have to tell them, "Look, I have limited funds so do this as cheap as possible." Besides....the dealerships suck ass! They are set up to handle new crotch rockets and motocross bikes only. They carry no parts for anything older than 1995. Where else are ya gonna go? Steele's?....now that place really sucks! That's how I came to Bob's ....I refused to go to Steele's again. More on Steele's: They kept my bike (the very same XS I took to BOB's) for two whole weeks, then after I called them several times to find the status, they finally said they didn't want to deal with it. WTF? Wasted my fucking time, I was pissed. I won't be going there again. They also charged me $300 to fix a clutch in a $300 used motor...WHICH I HAD BOUGHT FROM THEM! I assumed they would guarantee the used motor I had purchased from them. Guess again. read more

First of all, ROLPH is NOT BoB! Rolph bought the shop and is running it himself now. Great guy, honest and straight forward. I rolled in took a look at his bikes for sale. I started picking on a few things on the bike and he chipped in, yes and this and this and this. He then showed me what he had to done to restore the bike back to road worthy condition., I am sure you all know you take any bike form the 80's and you could spend thousands getting every small thing addressed. Rolph's shop rates are lower then any one else at 75$ n hour. He shows you exactly what needs to be done, you decide what to fix. And that's what he does. He does not do work with out permission, or come at you with extra charges at time of pick up. For that matter while I sat n chatted, I mentioned I wanted to adjust my clutch cable on my Harley Dyna FXD, he not only showed me how; but then they came out handed me a Cola and adjusted it for me on the spot no charge. So please disregard these above reviews from 3 and 4 years ago, I dont know why they are even on here, Rolphs is not Bobs.. same location different crew. It is now 2012! Talk to Rolph, he is an old timer from the days back... shoots straight from the hip, no BS. I strongly recommend Rolph. read more

Having been a rider for many years I've been through a few shops in my time. Most of them over promise and under perform. They take weeks to get to simple repairs, that kind of crap. Rolf has been the exception and is a solid dude since I started taking my BMW there. He is very knowledgeable and always has my bike ready when he says and is reasonably priced. He is an honest service guy in a sea of douche bags out there! I feel fortunate to have found his small shop. Sure the place looks a little chaotic but trust me, he is not. I read that other review about the tire. Sure, I ordered a pair or skins and left. He called me back right away to let me know that they are on back order (covid has all these factories scrambling) No problem. I quickly came back, picked another brand and I'll have my bike ready before the 4 day excursion planned. read more

Rof is great! I just bought a Suzuki Burgman 650 Ex. He counseled me on the bike ahead of time, looked it over day of purchase, and did some work on it after purchase. All professional, reliable and reasonably priced. I would never take my bike to anyone else. read more

My first time in this shop was met with Rolf showing me all of his project bikes, and I was highly impressed. I gave him my Suzuki Volusia 800 to convert into a bobber (stripping and replacing fenders, seat, handlebar, grips, turn signals, tail light, rear license plate and more) and they not only met but exceeded my expectations. The mechanic ran through all of the extra detail work he did and the bike rides better than I ever thought it possibly could. read more

Prices are different than what they will tell you over the phone. Very unprofessional and will tell you that any bad reviews you leave they will get taken off of social media because they "worked in intelligence for 20 years." If you decide to go here just know you're getting worked over by a family of scam artists who are just looking to get one up on the next victim. read more

Had a great experience with Rolf's. Had a minor issue with a new tubeless tire install and Rolf really took the time to trouble shoot it and make sure the bike was road worthy for a long trip to Telluride. I would support this shop again for sure. read more

I moved from CO to CA and had to get my bike repaired again after taking to Rolfs. The new mechanic in CA said the carb had to be rebuilt AGAIN among other problems. Only giving two stars because the fuel tank was terrible and he did a decent job of cleaning it up. read more

Rolf's Motorcycle Shop is your best choice for working on classic older motorcycles. I have nothing but HUGE positives to say about the communication and work that was performed. Before any work was started, Rolf called me to get an understanding of what I wanted to have done; then they performed an evaluation and contacted me again on the next steps that included, time, labor, parts and price. Everything was upfront and professional. I knew exactly when, what, how things were going to progress with my motorcycle --- excellent service. Brian (mechanic) is top notch and clearly understand how to resolve and repair older classic bikes. I was very pleased with his repairs on my motorcycle and his attention to quality as the work was being done. A+ Bottom-line, call Rolf if you need a repair on your older motorcycle. Visit his shop to get a real feel of his shop and staff not to mention a visit down memory road on his collection of older vintage motorcycles. read more

Owner is an ass, totally lied about not being able to get a tire for me. Called the Kawasaki dealer and they had one in two days. This place is a glorified chop shop, don't bother. read more

They make mistakes (everyone does) but they don't stand behind their work. I brought my bike in to have new tires put on. They noticed that my back brake pads were in need of replacement. I gave them the go-ahead to do the work. After two rides and less than 100 miles, the pads fell off. I immediately went back to the shop. Their mechanic looked at it and admitted that the issue was due to an error in the installation. Rolf (the owner) said the guy who worked on my bike was no longer there. He refused to fix the problem and refused to return my money. I brought my bike to the dealer and it's costing me $550 to re-do the work they did and replace other parts that were damaged due to their negligence. On top of that... Rolf was remarkably defensive and was raising his voice at me while refusing to help me. I strongly advise you to avoid this place. read more

Horrible customer service - they like to hang up on people. Had to take bike to another shop to fix the damage Rolf's did when they installed fork seals upside down. read more

I highly recommend this place . Very knowledgeable/ friendly staff and extremely low prices. They defiantly go the extra mile to take care of you read more

I was quite pleased with my BMW experience. I eventually consigned that bike and sold it through Rolf. They not only do good work at a reasonable price, but they go out of their way not to sell you services that you do not need. I now have my other two bikes serviced there and am glad that I found this shop. I recommend to others. read more

Excellent service with a quick turn around on mounting up a front tire for my HD '04 Sportster (21" spoke, and not an easy one from what I've heard). The HD mechanic was very knowledgeable and didn't mind chatting and answering a few questions I had. All in all a very good experience that ended up saving me $150! The only reason I haven't rated 5 stars is that I've only been here once. But I will definitely be going back. read more

I bought a 1999 Yamaha ATV on craigslist and needed some help with getting it running right. I visited these guys at their actual location (111 S Main St. Longmont, CO 80501) after chatting with Rolf via email and some things I posted on line - Rolf and Brian (mechanic) were very helpful and accommodating to my needs (low budget and suggestions on what's next and what to watch for). I told them what I needed and my budget and they got me out the door on same day. I felt like they were up front about what was possible and my needs were served on time and on budget. I have a running ATV and now I know where to go for good help. Here's their website https://www.rolfsmotorcycleshoplongmont.com/ read more

These guys are crooks. I took my bike in to get new tires and they tried to tell me that I needed to put a new fork onto my '84 Magna because it was out of alignment and surprise, suprise, they just happend to have a '83 magna fork sitting around. They said it was going to cost me $500. I took it home and realigned the fork myself in about 30 minutes without much difficulty. Unless you don't care about your money, don't trust those guys. They may be competent mechanics but who cares if they will straight up lie to you about what needs to get done. read more

Its really hard to find someone to work on older bikes, so I let Bob's do some minor things for me now and again. However, if you need a good gauge of their business ethics, look no further than their oil change prices which are listed on their web site. The amount that they charge for almost everything is criminal, but the oil changes are actually humorous. The biggest motivator for taking any vehicle, two-wheeled or four, to an independent mechanic vs. a dealership is that the little guys are usually a little less expensive. Not Bob's though. On the six occasions that I have needed minor work done which was cut and dried enough that I could call around and (ie "how much do you charge to change tires?") they have been more expensive than Sun Enterprises all but once. And Sun is clean, established, and insured! read more

Agree with the crooks part. bought a cb500 from them a 1971. they said it was in perfect condition...buyer beware. they are complete thieves and the Better Bussiness will be called about this one. one valve timing is off it needs new clutch friction plates. i understand the no warrenty part but this is some serious BS. i might as well just go ahead and fix it myself but i dont have the time. im calling them today and will see what they will do. such a pity that they are the only people i know in boulder that will work on a bike past 1990. extremely irritating. please if you kno anywhere else let me know read more

I have been using these guys for a few years. They have always been fair, on time and honest in rebuilding my carbs, fork seals and everything else a 1980 Honda CB 900 Custom needed after sitting for many years. They just replaced my tires and original clutch cable also checked to see if there was anything else needed.... there was not. A good family business that I will be returning to as they have always been fair and honest. Can't ask for more than that in this day and age. read more

Worthless, don't even consider them. The owner comes off so helpful when you meet him. Ya, ya, vee can do all dees tings fo 500 dalas. When you pick up your bike, half the stuff is done, and the other is done poorly. He was supposed to replace front tube shock oil and seals. Only the one leaking was fixed, the other wasn't touched, other than wiping the seal with a rag. He was an a hole when I picked the bike up, treating me as if I were trying to get over on him, while charging me almost $200 more. read more

I started going here after being fed up with RMK. The service here has been the best. They get our bikes in and done in great time and they always run perfect. Rolf will find used parts as well when he can. This is where we will be going for all of our service. read more

Brought my scooter to these guys after putting all new parts on it due to a no start. They said they would be more then happy to take a look at it. After 1 week I got a call, they said they have spent over 2 hours on it and it still will not start. If I wanted to go further I would need to pay the $198.00 dollars for the time they already spent plus the additional time as needed or I could just give them the scooter for the time they spent. Needless to say I chose to give them the scooter. I feel like I was taken advantage of and will not go back. read more

Amazing experience! Helped me out for awhile with mysterious problem that took awhile to find and where very nice and funny! Definitely will be bringing my bike here in the future read more
