It's hard to find shops that are willing to help out so close to closing, and I really appreciated the excellent customer service.

I've had to take bike my bike 3 times to them because it kept doing the same thing after 10 minutes of riding so I sort of gave up and bike sat for few months. One day I've decided to give another shop a shot and found Gp Motomax. I can say that I was very pleased they got my bike back on road. The problem being the fuel pump which they suspect upon inspection so they ordered a oem pump which took a while but once they got it they've installed it so fast. What they suspect happened was they just replaced the motor of fuel pump and called it day so by replacing the whole pump properly bike was great again. The crazy part is that total of parts and labor ended up cheaper than what I paid at Motorhelmet. Will definitely come back for more service to get my bike to top tip. They are honest hard working people with very very reasonable price and great communications which is super rare nowadays. I would hate keep this so they won't get too busy but I highly recommend them!

Took the boat to authorized Suzuki dealer who had to work through Cornerstone United, the warranty administrator. The Dealer required my authorization to pull the head on the motor. It was apparent the bearings dropped into the unit causing the driveshaft to snap and the motor to freeze. Cornerstone required the Dealer to disassemble the entire motor even though the Dealer's mechanic and Cornerstone's mechanic determined the failure resulted from an internal defect. Defect resulted in thousands (or more) of metal shavings being dispersed throughout the upper unit, in addition to damage to virtually every part of the upper unit. Mechanics determined the motor was well-maintained and full of clean oil when the motor failed. The damages were determined to be covered by warranty. However, Cornerstone determined that the motor should be repaired rather than replaced, maintaining that the metal shavings could be eliminated via an oil bath. The Dealer's mechanic considered this "asinine" and recommended against it. Cornerstone prevailed. I just had the 20 mile service performed. There were metal shavings in the oil and filter. If I am 20 miles or more offshore and the motor fails causing injury or death to me or my friends because of Cornerstone's reckless disregard in handling my claim, the disclaimer in the warranty for collateral damages will be challenged by me or my estate. Furthermore, Cornerstone refused to authorize payment for disassembly and diagnosis in direct violation of the warranty, thereby sticking me with a $5,000 bill for the excessive costs of a piece by piece disassembly of the entire motor. Cornerstone is creating a penny wise-pound foolish liability for Suzuki and its reputation. I am preparing a lawsuit against Suzuki and Cornerstone for blatant disregard of the warranty causing monetary damages to me of nearly $5,000, and to establish a factual basis for the waiver of collateral damage limitations in the warranty.

Unfortunately, my experience with the service department was the exact opposite. They came across as uninterested and acted like helping customers was an inconvenience. If you work in customer service, making customers feel welcome should be part of the job. A few days after my purchase, I received a text asking for feedback about my visit. I didn't hold back--I explained exactly how disappointing my first experience had been. Within minutes, I received a phone call from someone at the store who genuinely wanted to understand what happened. That immediately got my attention. I explained that I had driven over two hours because I had previously made an online purchase that went perfectly, and it gave me enough confidence to visit the store in person. I also shared my concerns about how I was treated by the parts department. He listened, apologized, and told me he would bring the issue to management because he genuinely cared about making things right. To me, that's what great customer service looks like. Anyone can make a mistake, but not every business takes the time to listen, follow up, and address a customer's concerns. On top of that, they have competitive prices and a great selection in stock. Because of the way they handled my feedback, I wouldn't hesitate to make the two-hour drive again. Hopefully, the service department improves, because the rest of the experience and especially the way management responded earned my respect.

For those who don't like reading long posts, the short version is Jason is GREAT. Bill is GREAT. Christine is great. The whole team at Southern California Motorcycles is GREAT. Southern California Motorcycles is GREAT. For those who would like evidence of this, I suggest you keep reading. If I said I went to Southern California Motorcycles and bought my first vehicle, a brand new 2014 Triumph Scrambler that would only be a fraction of the story. I called on a Thursday, 20 minutes before they closed to get a feel for the type of dealership they are. I spoke with Jason. He was courteous and took the time to inform me that if I filled out a credit application online, he would promptly review it as soon as it was submitted. My submission took place after they had closed for the day. At this point I need to say to those who have not seen Jason at work, the man does not stop. He is constantly helping the team and talking with customers. The following morning Jason called me to tell me the status of my credit application. He assured me that things were looking positive and that I should stop by to start hammering out details. If you can't already tell Jason is THE MAN. I showed up the following morning. First, the people and I mean everyone was very friendly and helpful. I mean seriously, people are there to buy motorcycles; others are there to help them buy motorcycles how can anyone not enjoy talking about them, learning about them, and just being around them. Jason took the time to explain similarities and difference between the Scrambler's, Bonneville's, and Bonneville T100's. He wanted to make sure that I knew which bike fit with the type of riding I plan on doing. After that he started working to get me on the bike that I wanted. If I had questions he answered them and more importantly he asked what my expectations were. After that he went to work. I have no idea the magic that he works with finance companies but I assure you it is magic. For never having purchase a new or used vehicle for that matter he was able to come back with a deal that worked for me. To say I was elated doesn't do it justice. I think I thanked him, I know I didn't shake his hand right away. Not because I didn't want to but because I was in a state of shock and couldn't. I couldn't believe it. I had just accepted a GREAT DEAL for me. I did shake his hand later. Multiple times. At this point, after Jason asked if I wanted to drive my new bike out of the dealership (I just have to pause here to reflect that without Jason working his magic this would not have happened) I was brought in to talk with Bill. Speaking with Bill about the subsequent deal details was just as great as talking with Jason. We talked about everything. Life, bikes, hobbies; you name it we probably talked about it. It is more than obvious that they all care about what they do and their customers. While these details, and my new bike, were getting wrapped up and ready Christine helped me get the gear I needed to drive away. She was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about fits, inventory, and how to help customers. Throughout this entire process we all spent time shooting the breeze and trading stories. Again, the team took the time not only to explain the details of the financing but also talked about bikes, careers, hobbies, books, movies, places to ride....you know conversations that real people have. In conclusion everything I wrote about above took place over the course of 3 days but when you think about it, it is really more like a day and a half. All I can say, and I can't say it enough, is that Southern California Motorcycles is a GREAT place to buy a motorcycle and all the accessories that you may need. Without the help of Jason, Bill, and Christine riding away with my brand new 2014 Triumph Scrambler would not have happened. read more

This review focuses specifically on my interaction with Robert at Southern California Motorcycles. I must emphasize that other employees at the dealership were knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming, which was in stark contrast to the experience with Robert. My friend and I visited the dealership with the intention of purchasing a used motorcycle. Initially, we were greeted warmly by the staff, setting a positive tone. However, our experience deteriorated when we were handed over to Robert, the financial manager. From the outset, Robert's demeanor was unsettling. Despite trying to appear friendly, his negative energy was obvious. We were interested in a motorcycle listed at $11,000, which clearly showed wear and had 1500 miles on it. Surprisingly, Robert included a freight fee in the final price, increasing it to $12,900. When I pointed out that the motorcycle was obviously used, Robert persisted in arguing that it was "new," demonstrating a significant misunderstanding. The situation escalated when I attempted to discuss this discrepancy. Robert was dismissive and continually interrupted me. After a tense exchange, we took a break, during which Robert left for about 20 minutes without informing us. Upon his return, the atmosphere remained tense. Remarkably, Robert instructed us to sit at his desk in his chair and enter our information into his PC, then left the office again, leaving us to do his job. This was highly unprofessional and confusing. To add to the frustration, an $85 documentation fee was included in the price without proper justification. In conclusion, this was by far the worst dealership experience I have ever encountered, primarily due to our interaction with Robert. His lack of professionalism and poor customer service skills were in stark contrast to the otherwise welcoming environment at the dealership. The attached image shows me sitting at Robert's desk, doing the paperwork. I felt extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome, and I strongly advise against dealing with Robert at Southern California Motorcycles. read more

As a companion to the original reviewer, I want to share my view on our troubling experience with Robert at Southern California Motorcycles. While the rest of the staff were commendable for their professionalism, dealing with Robert, the financial manager, was a starkly negative contrast. Our interest was in a used motorcycle priced at $11,000, showing clear signs of wear and 1500 miles. Surprisingly, Robert added a freight fee, inexplicably escalating the cost to $12,900. When we questioned the inclusion of this fee and the bike's 'new' status, Robert's response was stubborn and dismissive, failing to acknowledge its obvious used condition. The interaction worsened as Robert had us sit at his desk to input our information into his PC, then left us to fend for ourselves, an act of clear unprofessionalism. This left us in a state of confusion and frustration. Despite these issues, we did not bring our concerns to the manager, leaving our dissatisfaction with Robert's conduct unaddressed. His inability to provide reasonable explanations for the additional fees and his overall dismissive attitude made our experience at the dealership uncomfortable and unwelcoming. In summary, our experience with Robert was far from satisfactory. His approach and lack of customer service were in direct contrast with the friendly atmosphere set by the other staff. I would caution anyone dealing with Robert at Southern California Motorcycles based on this encounter. read more

Let me begin by saying that I don't have any interest in motorcycles - I was just the driver who accompanied my son who sung the praises of this place. But, I've bought a lot of cars and have dealt with a lot of dealerships in my life and I know bullshit when I see/smell it. I guess that I have to admit that I "raised my son right" because he was an excellent judge of Southern California Motorcycles. Not only are they the most pleasant & entertaining people I have ever met, they went way beyond what anyone would expect to get my son the best price and financing for exactly what he wanted. Anybody else would have said, "this is the best that we can do, take it or leave it." Robbie and Jason basically said, "This is what we're going to do, let's make it happen." And, they did. And, my son is very happy. But, I have to say that I was most impressed by everyone's PASSION at the Triumph dealership. They love what they do and believe in what they sell. These are not people just earning a paycheck, they are people who are inviting others to enjoy what they love. If you are looking for a new motorcycle, go here, look elsewhere just for laughs and giggles, and them come back here for the best experience. If you are another motorcycle dealership, study what Southern California Motorcycles is doing right and what you are doing so wrong. read more

I was shopping around and trying to make my mind between a 2024 Ducati Scrambler Nighshift and the 2024 Triumph Scrambler 900 Matte Khaki Green and no dealer had either one in stock here in Simi Valley. I've contacted a few dealers in Southern California and no one contacted me or seem to care, only Larry Garcia contacted me letting me know he had a Scrambler with Matte Khaki Green tank I want it in the warehouse ready to be assembled and he also had the Scrambler Nighshift in the showroom. I have had very bad experiences with sales people and I didn't believe Larry, I thought he just wanted to come over the dealer to purchase something I didn't want like other dealers do. Well, Larry proof me I was wrong. He had the bike in the showroom as initially promised to me and also sent me a few photos of it. I made my mind and I decided I wanted the Triumph. Also Larry gave a good deal for it, so I drove all the way from Simi Valley to La Brea, almost a 2 hour drive towing a trailer but it was totally worth it. Larry and his team were so professional and took the time to explain all the details about the bike I was purchasing, service, parts, etc. If I have to buy another bike I will be going to Southern California Motorcycles. I will also recommend this business to my friends and family. read more

I attended their Triumph demo event today, and honestly, it was a big letdown. The demo ride itself was short but fine. Unfortunately, they didn't have the full range of Triumph bikes on display, which was disappointing for anyone hoping to try different models. The sign-up process was poorly managed, people were cutting in line, and there was no oversight. Because of that, my friends and I were only able to get one ride in. Before our ride, they hyped up food from a five-star Michelin restaurant and hot dogs, which never happened. Instead, there were tacos (which were actually good), but if they never planned on delivering the rest, they shouldn't have mentioned it at all. The biggest frustration was the raffles, the main reason we stayed for hours. We were told the first drawing was at 1 p.m., but when we came back, we were told it had already happened at 11 a.m. Then someone else with a prize told us it was actually at noon. 11 a.m. woudnt make sense, as we signed up around 10:40 a.m. We ended up waiting nearly 2.5 hours for nothing, only to be told the next raffle would be at 3 p.m. No thanks. Overall, the event felt unorganized, misleading, and frustrating. Poor communication and sloppy management really ruined what could have been a great experience. read more

Terrible Ownership? I came to this location a few months back and was completely blown away by how unprofessional the staff is. After a few snarky remarks from a young salesman, I asked if he was having a bad day and he let slip the that the owner drives the employees moral into the ground. I gave him a slap on the shoulder and told him to 'buck up' and I left. I came back earlier today and was BLOWN AWAY when I overheard (whom I assume to be the owner 'skinny guy with glasses' and a fake smile) screaming and yelling at various employees. Once again I left, but now I decided to come to Yelp and will be making a few 'State' related phone calls simply with the hope that others take heed to this message. No one, business owner or not, should ever treat their employees or staff with that kind of obvious disrespect regardless if customers are around (he obviously didn't realize I was in ear shot). I feel terrible for anyone who works for that man. (If he isn't the owner then someone needs to let him go immediately!) EDIT: Decided to update this Yelp review based on this company going out of their way to delete, or have removed, other posts from other media. Shame on you for trying to hide behind an image which does you no justice. read more

So cal Motorcycles is a horrible place to work! office manager is very controlling and will lie to ur face and tell u ur doing a great job even when she thinks ur unqualified. The staff used a bunch of racist remarks towards Blacks and Asians. All the people who work there talk about each other behind ea others backs. All the people in the Parts Depatment hate their Supervisor whom misses about 75% of her work year due to illness. It makes for jealousy among Co-Workers.. Think twice before applying to work w an Ice Queen and all her smelly dogs in which they dont even vacuum up all the dog hair so if ur allegric decline position!!!Not to mention the lie and hire people to do office work but then send them to do manual labor at their so called events like Laguna Seca and Indianapolis . the ice Queen needs a new assistant just for this trip she will make u reschedule ur life around to suit her needs ..u r better off buying Parts and Motorcycles from Ducati in Newport Beach which is where all the fired employees from Socal end up to find some kind of refuge from this horrible place to work PS MOST of the REVIEWS FOR this place r BAD!!!!!!! hmmm read more

I can not begin to explain the level of care and professionalism that the team at Southern California Motorcycles displayed in my buying experience of a 2016 Ducati Diavel. From finance, management and sales, SC Motorcycles was arguably the best staff I have ever had in any buying experience. With any purchase comes an added level of excitement and thrill; however, the SC Motorcycles team went above and beyond in ensuring my personal satisfaction. Providing me excellent education with regards to driving, insurance and critical aspects of owning a bike that any first time rider/buyer needs to hear. For any person looking to make a motorcycle purchase, do not go any where else but SC Motorcycles. If you do, you will be cutting yourself short, these guys are the best. SC Motorcycle without doubt has earned a lifetime customer in myself, along with my family and friends. Thank you for a one of a kind experience that I will always remember. read more

As a first-time motorcycle buyer, I was understandably nervous and overwhelmed by the research involved. Thankfully, the team at Southern California Motorcycles was incredible. They patiently answered all my questions, making me feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. I ended up finding the perfect bike for me, and their communication has been excellent ever since. What truly impressed me was the seamless interaction with every department, from sales and parts to service. Each one took the time to address my concerns for hours, never rushing me. This personalized attention made me feel truly cared for, not just as a customer, but as an individual. The welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home, solidifying my decision to build a long-term relationship with them. I highly recommend Southern California Motorcycles to anyone looking for a positive and supportive motorcycle buying experience. read more

Outstanding Experience at Southern California Motorcycles! I had the pleasure of working with Larry at Southern California Motorcycles in Brea, and I can't say enough about the amazing service I received. From the moment I walked in, Larry was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping me. I was really interested on the stunning 2025 Ducati Panigale V2--and thanks to Larry's expertise, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. Not only did he take the time to explain everything I needed to know about the bike, but he also made sure all the paperwork was handled quickly and efficiently. It's clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority at this dealership, and I'm beyond thrilled with my new Ducati. If you're looking for a top-tier experience and a friendly, professional staff, I highly recommend Southern California Motorcycles in Brea. Thanks again, Larry--you're the best! read more

I will make this short and sweet. I've been meaning to leave this review for several months, and came across this dealer on Yelp and reminded me to do so. -I know bikes. -I have purchased and continue to own more than a couple bikes. -I wanted to buy another bike. -I went to this shop to buy a new bike. -After 10 minutes in the shop, I somehow got the honor of meeting a manager named Jason who drove me out of the shop shakin' my head thinkin' "What a jerkoff". In the first 60 seconds of talking to him, he actually cut me off midsentence twice and rolled his eyes at something I said. And BAM, we're done here. Taking my biz elsewhere. Two stars for having a cool shop setup (like a bike mall) and selection of nice bikes from several manufacturers. The rest is negative stars for the douche they have running the shop. See ya! Too many other dealerships in SoCal to give my business to douches. read more

Took together with a friend on Saturday 11/19/2016 my two (2) motorcycles (Yamaha FZ-1 & Kawasaki Ninja 650) for a quick ride on Carbon Canyon Road. One the way back we stopped, switched the motorcycles and noticed that the Kawasaki is losing air in the back tire. Luckily, we made it short before closing time to Southern California Motorcycles in Brea, CA. These guys could have told us to leave the motorcycle and come back the following Monday to pick it up. However, we explained that this is an emergency situation and that I would need the bike during the week. The Service Manager Danny Edwards did not hesitate and ordered his service team to replace the tire immediately. As a result of this experience, I give the Southern California Motorcycles Team a five (5) star rating and dumbs up for helping a biker brother out in need. Be safe, keep the rubber down - Andy. read more

I want to thank my salesperson, Donnie Ross, and Chris Evans, the Sales Manager, for a great buying experience. I initially contacted several Triumph dealerships through their websites to get pricing and availability on the Street Twin I was interested in but Donnie was the one who did the best job of following up with me. After taking a demo bike for a spin I worked out the pricing with Chris, much to my satisfaction. Needless to say, these guys did a great job from beginning to end. I was also introduced to Chad in their service department and he already has my information to schedule a first service based on my estimated amount of use. I highly recommend Chris and his team for those folks looking to purchase a Triumph, Ducati, Suzuki, or Royal Enfield motorcycle. read more

Fantastic service!!!! I have a Big Bear Chopper, I called Several places to be told "I'm not interested in working on your bike" but when I called Southern California Motorcycles and spoke to Donte, he said "Bring it over we will do a new front tire for you". I didn't get there till 5:15pm when all other dealers and shops are closed. They looked over my bike and immediately got on it and worked a few minutes past closing to finish the job without hesitation. Everyone at this dealership was so friendly and helpful. Mr. Ramirez had to struggle with this difficult bike and persevered to get the job done. I can't thank you enough, and anyone who owns a chopper can appreciate what I'm saying. You guys Rock!

Good Day So Cal Triumph, I wanted to write you once I returned home from vacation and had some time on the bike. The bike arrived in great condition, the transport company did a great job with delivery. I have had some time to ride it a bit since I returned and it feels great. Rides well, engine sounds good for some early RPMs and handles well. All the documentation came with the bike and the plates were here when we came home. Fast service ! Thank you all again for your help. I was a bit anxious about buying the bike 400 miles from our house - but everything was handles professionally and fast. I would definitely recommend you folks for any others who may be considering a long distance purchase. Thanks you again, Todd Z read more

I called because I needed to check if my e-bike battery was still good. When I was transferred to the service department I was told by, I believe Chad, that since my bike wasn't a Giant he doesn't want to service it because he wouldn't be able to get parts if needed and that's how he makes money so he couldn't check my battery. I explained that I wasn't asking for the service for free and was willing to pay . He then explained that he is in business to make money and it's always issues with this type of situation. I can understand his position that in the past customers would not get service and he didn't make money but I was willing to pay to solve that issue. The way he communicated it could have been better. read more

I'm completely new to the motorcycle world. I came into this dealer not knowing what to expect, to my delight I got to see and learn a lot about the world of motorcycle. Stepping into the dealer was a awesome experience they have so many different brands from a bunch of different countries like GREAT BRITAN, INDIA, JAPAN, ITALY its really neat to see how the showrooms are all separate. The employees are well informed and seemed to all ride so they explained a lot of newbie questions I had this one sales man JADEN even offered me water because it was a hot day such a small thing to do but well appreciated. ALL and all I had a time checking this dealer out I recommend coming to see what this place has to offer! read more

Purchased my new Triumph Tiger on Saturday! Absolutely, LOVE IT!!! Worked with Robbie & Jason to get the deal done and the process was effortless! Robbie & Jason worked together with my wife and I and we both had excellent service from beginning to end with the two of them! Will recommend them to everyone! This was my second purchase there and more than likely won't be my last. My first bike I purchased from there was a Triumph Thruxton back in 2012 and worked with Jay. Jay is now in the parts department and we actually saw him on Saturday when we purchased a new bag for my new Tiger. Thanks again Robbie & Jason for a great buying experience! read more

I just purchased a 2024 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 from Larry. I am a new rider and this is my first ever motorcycle purchase. Larry and the entire staff made me feel welcome. Larry introduced me to the dealership owner and several members of the staff. I got the royal treatment, there is definitely a family vibe at this dealership. Larry even went so far as to remind me that by providing my motorcycle safety training course certificate, I was entitled to a new rider discount on the purchase price. I highly recommend purchasing a bike from Larry. I look forward to bring the bike back for its first break-in servicing. read more

I originally planned to bring the bike back to the dealer where I bought it from since they gave me a discount for buying the bike through them, but even with a discount the service at the dealership was significantly more versus Motorcycle Addicts which was much more reasonably priced. I saved money, didn't have to ride almost 30 miles away, and got to support a small local business instead of a mega dealer. Plus they're less than a mile away from my work. No brainer. I dropped off my bike around 10:30 this morning and was ready about an hour later since there was a lift available. When I got back, Johnathan gave me a rundown of what was done to my bike and adjustments he had made. Thankfully nothing was out of the ordinary which one should expect with a new bike! Johnathan and Alex were both friendly and professional which I'm thankful for. Much respect to them for that. In my experience, certain hobbies tend to have toxic gatekeeper types. I feel like motorcycling is one of those hobbies. It's intimidating to be new, especially when you're just starting out and eager to learn. If and when I need service or an advanced repair that's out of my skillset, I will 100% be going back because I know my bike will be in good hands.
