I've been riding bikes since the 70s and logged over 300,000 miles on two wheels and I can tell ya two things with absolute certainty...if you go down on a motorcycle...it's due to either rider error or a mechanical failure. Managing to stay "in the bubble and outta the box" will determine whether you ride a long time without injury or end up F'd. But mechanical failures can happen and this is where having an expert motorcycle mechanic is essential. Let's face it...it's your ass out there and I learned firsthand that trusting Harley dealership mechanics is akin to playing Russian Roulette. When you pick your bike up after servicing and travel a few miles before returning to the dealership cuz something's wrong...then you understand what I'm saying. My ole '07 Road King Classic needed transmission work...the kind that takes time, money & patience. Getting parts can be a "dog in heat" but ya know what? Pat will make your ride safe and ready to roll without any excuses. Be patient, these folks are in great demand and you may have to wait a bit longer than you'd like but your baby will be dialed in upon completion. You want the best? Go to South County Cycles and forget the rest. Peace of mind is a valuable thing and knowing your bike is in perfect riding condition makes each mile better. Take it from a veteran biker who has seen and heard it all... South County Cycles is always busy because customers never leave. Finding an honest, knowledgeable and experienced mechanic is like finding Bigfoot riding a unicorn. Pat & son set the customer care bar so high, Harley dealerships need to charter a plane just to see it. read more

This is a fantastic shop with excellent Harley/motorcycle knowledge and service with a smile. Pat has worked on both of my Harleys and always has time to get me in. South County Cycles offers much better service than the dealership with a personal touch. They are hard to catch by phone, but they quickly respond to emails. I highly recommend South County Cycle if you are looking for a place that you can trust to work on your motorcycle. read more

My motorcycle is an essential part of me just like finding a good doctor someone you can trust holds true with motorcycle mechanic, and visionary with decades of experience and certification. This location and team dose it all. This has been my go to motorcycle Guru. Pat and his son continue to bring their 'A' game in every project, I finally took the Fat Boy in for some Needed upgrades and cannot put in words how great the service has been and continues to be. If you're in need of a Harley doctor with extreme knowledge and experience look no further. read more

Pat makes routine service and mods fun. Sounds lame? Maybe. But whenever I'm parting with hard-earned cash and trusting anyone to work on something I purchased to enjoy, it's nice to have more than a simple belief in trust of the person I'm passing responsibility to. I had new tires put on my '02 Road King, while it was on the lift I trusted Pat to do a fork service and replace the stock lowers with chrome uppers and lowers for a consistent aesthetic. Pat does great work, it rides like a new bike! I'll be back soon to swap the stock cam chain tensioners for a gear drive conversion. read more

South County Cycles - 2002 Road King Shrine Edition - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Took my bike here to get new cables installed, Pat the owner of the shop took care of me. Turned it around when he said he would and for a good price. When I went to pick up the bike I noticed that he replaced the spark plugs, never mentioned it nor charged me for it - thats just what good dude he is! So obviously now he's the only dude I take my bike to. He's done my clutch, installed new tires, and even did a Lil fab work for me. Looking for a certified Harley tech in South County, he's your man. read more

This is an amazing business if you're interested in taking your HD to the next level. Pat, the owner, is friendly, welcoming , and interested in realizing your vision for the lowest price possible. He also treats you like a family member; if he thinks there's a better way of doing things or a less expensive route he'll make sure you are aware of it, even if that meant he'd lose money. I had my bike at the shop the other week and my battery unexpectedly died right before I was going to leave. Pat was slammed, yet he dropped everything and DROVE me home and made it a priority to get me a new batter ASAP. That service is hard to come by. You won't be disappointed in Pat or South County Cycles. read more

Great local family run business. Good work at a fair price. Much better than dealing with dealership for maintenance and repairs. I have a late model FLHXS but he works on a older models as well as newer. read more

I highly recommend them when anyone asks me where I take my bike. I think most riders are skeptical about the trust when finding a "good mechanic that they can trust" with their life essentially. Very honest, fair, good turn around time, knowledgeable and overall good vibes just walking into the shop. I've been coming here for the past 4 yrs, also highly recommended by my friend, and won't take my bike anywhere else! read more

Once again, completely satisfied with the quality of service and treatment that Pat gives at South County cycles, never disappointed thanks a lot for making that adjustment for me on the clutch and all the other great work you've done the S&S engine, new front end, etc. nothing but good stuff to say about these people if you want to be disappointed go somewhere else. High quality service from Pat and Noah. read more

Best Harley shop in the OC. Pat is honest and the work he does on your bike will be better than top notch.

I emailed the shop from their webpage to ask about having my tires replaced. Pat emailed me back the same night with a quote. When I dropped my bike off Pat took the time to tell me a little bit about himself and the business; really friendly guy with a lot of experience. He let me know that he has been extremely busy lately and was down a man, but that he would order the parts the next morning, they would get there on Saturday, and the bike would be ready on Saturday by close... and that's exactly what happened. Friendly, honest, and fair. I will be recommending Militia Cycles to my friends, and taking my bike there from now on. Thanks Pat! read more

Stopped in Friday evening with an electrical issue and no brake lights, rolled out early Saturday with a smile on my face and a road safe bike. Jay took the time to jump right into trouble shooting had the part in stock. Pat & Jay always treat me right, take good care of my Dyna, and give top quality repair and service, Ive been bringing my bike here for a year now, 5 star service every time. read more

Just want to give a big shout out to Pat at Militia Cycles. Called me at 3pm on Saturday to let me know my bike was ready, but they close at 3. I was all the way in Temecula and he hung out till I got there at 4:30 to pick it up. They did a great job on my bike and they went above and beyond. I highly recommend Militia Cycles. read more

South County Cycles - 2016 Harley at Militia Cycles - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

This shop is very busy. Pat is the owner/operator and hes really good at what he does so its worth getting on the wait list if you have the time to wait a week or two. Once your bike is in he gets the work done quickly. Im pretty sure he works on one bike at a time so you know your bike gets all his attention. That being said, he has stopped everything to do a quick in-and-out repair but don't go in expecting that cos he might be too busy at any given time. I have a Dyna and an Electra Glide that he has done big and small jobs for me over the last 3 or so years and I've always been happy with his work. read more

On a trip to California from Colorado, Pat and Jay helped source a part, make repair, and get me back on the road with my ratty old bike. This is a great independant shop. read more

Went to this shop a few weeks ago after buying a used Harley Davidson in Oceanside. After riding up the 5 a ways I noticed a "clunk" coming from the front of my bike. Being that I live up near Sacramento and had a 400+ mile ride ahead of me I was a little worried. It was a Saturday and just about closing time for Militia cycles and Jay took the time to test ride and look over my bike. He took about an hour out of his day to examine and educate me on what the bike was doing and why. He informed me that it was a minor issue and completely safe to ride home. When asked what I owed him he told me not to worry about it and sent me on my way. Militia cycles is a great motorcycle shop I would recommended it to anyone who has a American V-twin. !! Thanks Jay ! read more

Excellent, reputable shop with extensively experienced technicians. The owner Pat is helpful, knowledgeable, and overall just a great guy. Recommended many friends here and all have been just as happy as I am with South County Cycles. This will always be my go to shop. read more

Top notch with more knowledge than any dealership I've encountered. After 30 years of dealing with less, I highly recommend Pat and his boys. read more

I walked in to the shop and talked to Pat about my new bike and some potential mods that could be done. He was super helpful, extremely knowledgeable and just an all around cool guy! I haven't decided what I am going to do yet but these guys will be doing the work for sure!!! I highly recommend Militia Cycles and Pat!! read more

This place was starting to get a bad reputation and pat has turned that completely around. I've known Pat for many many years and he has worked on many of my bikes. He is honest and knows his stuff. I know he went to school for a long time early on and eventually was head mechanic for Harley Davidson for quite a few years and always goes for the updating classes that Harley Davidson puts on. Thanks Pat for all the great deals and all the quality work you've done for me. read more

Militias a great place. Pat the owner is awesome. He put on new TP Engineering rocker covers and pressed on a new chrome cam cover for really good pricing. He also put on a new rear wheel, sprocket and rotor which needed special machining and did a great job. I live an hour from here but it's close to my work and I wanted to find a good shop near my work. Very happy. read more

Pat & Jay are straight up ROCK STARS! I have been to numerous shops and I swear, these guys are great mechanics but they actually care about you and your experience. I can't say enough about these guys, but do yourself a favor and give them a try, you won't be sorry you did. And thanks again! It's the least I could do, for how you went over and beyond what any other shop would do for your customer.. you helped me out a lot, and I appreciate that!!!!.....rock on!!!! read more

5 STARS!!! If you need maintenance, repairs, custom fabrication, or anything else done on your bike, don't hesitate to call Pat or stop by the shop and he'll take care of you. Someone recommended Pat and Militia Cycles to me for some custom work I needed done (custom sidemount license plate frame). He was a licensed Harley tech for several years with OC Harley, and now runs/operates Militia. I stopped by the shop and spoke with Pat about what I needed. He gave me a quote for the labor required and also indicated when he'd be done. He's super personable, knows his sh*t, and really puts his customers first. Just yesterday, I stopped by the shop without calling ahead as I had to ask a question about something I couldn't fix myself on the bike. It was the end of the day (about 4:50pm) and rather than closing up shop or telling me to come back another day, he actually pulled my bike inside, put it up on the lift and fixed it right on-the-spot. I didn't expect or ask him to do it right then and there, but he just did it. That type of customer service is rare to find in my experience, and the indication of Pat's commitment to putting his customers first. Moving forward, I'll be going to Militia Cycles for any/all work I'll have done on my NightTrain. Maintenance, aftermarket parts instillation, custom fabrication......whatever it may be, I'll be coming here. The customer service and experience I had was top-notch. Thanks for the great service! read more

This place is awesome! Pat and Jay are as good as it gets. This is a very honest and trustworthy shop. I brought my 95 Electra Glide Standard in to have the Jim's 6 speed transmission looked at since 4th and 6th gear were both making a whine when in those gears. Turns out the transmission was about to grenade on me and I was lucky to get it to into them on time. Pat quoted me a fair price to replace the transmission since all the gears were missing teeth and the bearings were toast. But unfortunately to put exactly what I had in the bike was more than I was willing to pay. Asking Pat for his advice he suggested I find some stock gears that I could buy on my own then bring them in for them to install. I happened to find a perfect set of used gears that matched my transmission. Brought them in and they gave me a quote which was very fair. They had the gears in and the my bike back to me within a few days. My bike runs great and it shifts perfect! I can actually find neutral now which is usually a pain in the ass. I recommend this shop to anyone looking to get your bike fixed or even to have any upgrades you desire. I am already planning my suspension upgrade and I know of no other place I would take my bike to. Pat and Jay have created a lifelong customer in me! read more

Pat at Militia Cycles is so knowledgeable and did a great job on my Custom Arlen Ness bike. He was able to re-charged my nitrogen filled "Works shocks", which really made riding the bike safe again. He also gave me some great tips on how to get some of the other querky things fixed on my custom bike. He went above and beyond and was very easy on my wallet too. I highly recommend Militia Cycles. Awesome!!! read more

Pat and J are a great team. Great customer service and most importantly great work product. Previous Harley servicemen so they know the bike! Did a custom tune/down load ,Vance and Hines pipes installation, and air filters on my Harley slim and the bike rides like a dragster. Full of power, speed, and smoothness. Thank u guys !! read more

I really appreciate every thing the guys do to help me with my open air therapy! The guys are genuinely helpful! Pat has worked on my Low Rider since new in 05! They know their shit! Thank you guys, for keeping the bugs on my teeth! read more

I was looking for a shop that would do a great job and not charge you what HD dealer does and this place is absolutely worth it! Pat and Jay knows what their are doing. I did some mods on my Iron 883 and I would not recommend any other place. The job is stunning and very clean work. Thanks guys I'm very happy with your service. Five star for sure and will definitely come back. read more

Took my bike to Pat at Militia Cycles. No one could determine what was wrong. Pat found the problem and fixed it. My bike has never run better. I'd encourage anyone with a Harley to take it to Militia Cycles for any services needed! read more
