It's costing a fortune, but I have an expensive foreign bike that's been without service for almost two years. Can't blame em. They have been very friendly though, and walked me through my estimate carefully. Before any work has been done I feel like I know more about my bike than before. Everything moves kind of slow here, and I had to call them every step. My bike was there almost a week before they even looked at it. In the end, they seem trustworthy and knowledgeable, and that's what really counts. Update: After service my bike rides better than ever. Customer service was very friendly, and they frequently checked in. They have about a thousand bikes, so they probably move as fast as they can. It's easy to tell why so many people trust them too. They even called to check up and make sure everything was running well after I got home. I haven't been to many motorcycle shops before, but this one stands out.read more

I contacted Combustion Cycles for information about scooters. Talia sent me such detailed emails back that I put a deposit on one over the phone. When I went to take delivery of it, the buying process was great. They also had an ample selection of highest quality helmets and locks, which I needed as well to get started. Then, not having ridden a moped since I was a kid, I was given a free orientation and allowed to use a loaner bike to practice around the parking lot and neighborhood of the cycle shop. In a few minutes I was ready to make the ride home in mine. I was walked through every detail of the scooter and helmet, and left with a huge smile. Had a blast riding it home, and actually am looking forward to going back to Combustion for maintenance.read more

I finally decided to get a new scooter after so many years, so I chose Combustion Cycles. Let me just say these guys went above and beyond what they needed to do. I was treated more like a friend than a potential buyer, to say I felt satisfied is an understatement. These guys won't let you leave unsatisfied and honestly I felt like they understand how customers need to be treated. If anyone needs a good scooter or motorcycle then these guys will be the friends you've been looking for.read more

Honest people; nice to work with them. They won't overcharge, and they'll tell you if something can wait or if you need certain work right away.

Got an incredible motorcycle at a very fair price from some of the nicest folks. Dave and crew made the buying experience super easy and were very helpful throughout the whole process.read more

Very personal experience. The woman behind the counter was extremely helpful and efficient. The guy that I talked to about the bike was very friendly as well and honest. He admitted that the the fairings had be repainted and that level of honesty in the secondhand market is almost non existent. If can get approved will definitely be buying from themread more

I think after my first experience with a bike shop and a series of unfortunate events, this place has the openness to call its customer to discuss a problem and find a forward resolution. We had a disagreement but they reached out and tried to understand why and fix it. Pretty uncommon it feels like, so I am changing my review.read more

Absolutely wonderful customer service!!! I bought a brand new Buddy 50. (I love it!) I am a scooter novice. The owner spent over 30 minutes with me after hours to help me learn how to ride safely. I really appreciated him and his team taking the extra mile to help me out. I wouldn't go anywhere else.read more

I have always had a good experience with combustion cycles. Good work at a good price and on time. Couple years back they overbored the cylinders for my 1972 Honda CL175 scrambler. This requires precise machining work (not just any shop can handle this type of job). The rebuilt engine now has over a thousand miles on it and counting!read more

I don't ever write reviews but the service and one on one attention I was given while my bike was being diagnosed and repaired was top notch at Combustion Cycles. I brought my bike to another shop only to be turned away because my bike was 'to old' to preform anything more then routine maintenance. I was left with a borrowed trailer that had a broken motorcycle on it and now I was going to be late to work. I found Combustion Cycles on Google. Called and was immediately connected with a helpful and knowledgeable staff that explained their process. I was able to drop off the bike later that day!! They took extreme care of my bike and were honest and hard working. They were able to explain to me what issues my bike had and walk me through the CORRECT way to fix it and get it back on the road safe. I also had the please of meeting the owner Dave! Such an awesome dude with a serious passion for motorcycles and doing right by his customers. I know summer time is busy for most shops in the area!! Don't hesitate to give Combustion Cycles a call if your normal shop is backed up. And if you don't have a shop yet please go check them out!! I found them by accident and I am glad that I did!!!! It is a great feeling when you know you have an honest and hard working shop in your back pocket for when you need them.read more

I purchased my first scooter from here and the owner took the longest time teaching me how to ride. Now, I'm terrible and I'm still practicing but everyone is so patient with you. They're definitely there for you and not against you!read more

I've been going to Combustion Cycles for 5 bikes and ... almost 10 years? Let's just say it's been a while. The crew here is honest. Accessories, parts, and service are reasonably priced. Any service required will be explained. The team here will work on older bikes as well. In addition to service, I've ordered a helmet through them, attire, parts, and pick up basic maintenance stuff from their front room. Always reliable. Thanks, y'all.read more
