They charge me $82.00 for a front tire change!...but on my Gsxr750 it was only $55.00. I ask the owner why so much more...he says because its a bmw. Please BS!...just and excuse to price gouge...I will take it to the dealer for that price. Will not go back!

Glenn and his crew are stand up guys. Honest, professional, and will go the extra mile for you. Prices are definitely reasonable as the work is good. Having a mechanic I can trust is priceless and so I’m definitely hanging on to these guys!

This shop is incredible, always going above and beyond to make sure your bike is at its best. Had them do a tire change and they were Ables to get it swapped out before I could make it back with coffee. Their busy for a reason, so make sure you schedule your work early. Can beat the price, or the attention to detail. Theyre truly the best in the bay!

I found out about Spec-1 by a CycleGear representative after I purchased new tires online for my V-strom 650. Got the tires delivered to my place and brought them in first thing in the morning along with the bike for installation. An appointment was required. Everything happened smoothly and the bike was ready by lunch time.

Had my free safety inspection on a 13 year old bike i just bought. They identified all of the issues and prioritized them for me. I will be coming here for all of the work that I cant easily do myself. They are very busy, and I can understand why! Great place, you should definitely check them out. Call first to make sure they can work on your bike.

Great shop. Nice, friendly, and fair. They don’t gouge or try to convince you to get work you don’t need. They don’t need to because they’re always busy. I’m assuming that’s as a result of happy returning customers like me.

Fantastic experience. Called about two bolts that were super stuck and needed loosening. They were able to take a look a week later when they opened and Glenn removed then within 10 min. Super friendly and knowledgable. They got a customer for life.

Have to agree with everyone else here, these guys are the best. Glen goes the extra step, and will answer any questions I have. I was able to call and get an appointment for an oil change, and new tire. Everything working great as expected. Thanks for the great work you guys do!

I dont think I ever left a review for these guys when I lived in San Jose about 5-6 years ago. Finding a good motorcycle mechanic shop is hard. But finding a good shop that you can TRUST, is huge. Thats what I found when I started bringing my bikes to Spec-1. It didnt matter what I was going in for, I knew that they would get the job done at a fair price.Another deciding factor for why I stayed with them my entire time in San Jose was that they actually listened to my requests. When I brought my FZ1 in with unknown engine trouble, I knew there was no way to know what it would cost to repair. I didnt want to get thousands in debt over it, and at the time I was pretty broke. Glen was able to give me the hard news that in order for them to repair it was going to require major engine work and probably run well over a thousand after parts and labor. He fully understood my desire to hold off, and only billed me for the inspection service (I think 1hr labor).Several years later I had the repairs done at another excellent mechanic in Southern California. Total came out to roughly $1500. If I ever found myself in San Jose again I would definitely go back to them for anything.

Have taken my bike there multiple times and every time was an excellent experience. Fast, friendly, competent, reasonable prices and patience with a customer who probably asks too many questions😬. Cant ask for anything more.

Gotta give these guys a big thumbs up! I’ve been bringing my cruiser here for 8 years and always had great service, wouldn’t go anywhere else. Their prices are very reasonable, much cheaper than the big shops. They test ride the bikes before and after work and several times have caught and fixed problems for me, like a loose exhaust mount that was causing a rattling noise I couldn’t pinpoint.

Great customer service, called them to ask if they can work on my GSXR 1000 exhaust . Went in to drop it off . Someone was there to help me right away . After a few hours due to them being so busy and I was able to take my bike in without an appointment . Very pleased with there work . Would definitely go back for other work .

Ive worked with many automotive and motorcycle repair shops over the years and Spec-1 is one of the absolute best. Glen and his crew took my old, beat-up Honda Nighthawk 750 and made it run like new again. Not only that but they answered all my questions, patiently provided me with updates every time I called (which was almost once a day) and even fixed problems on the bike that I didnt know were there. All of this for a very reasonable price - the final bill was far lower than I expected. You can trust these guys and know that qualified and honest mechanics are working on your ride.

They put 1 of my rear axle spacers on inside out not one of the inside ones but the outer one with the alignment marks kind of dum if you ask me. No where as stupped as Nichols sport shop in Milpitas who ran my vacuum line way out of there intended spot and hanging above the hot exhaust pipe where it bolts to the head.

Review β„–34

I know this store and the owner for about 10 years. My friends and I had our motorcycles repaired there many times. This is the best shop in the Bay-Area! Glen the owner is in the shop all the time and he will work on your motorcycle or inspect the work done. He is so friendly and such a honest person that sometime I feel I should pay more than he ask me to. It does not matter if the work is small or large he will always be nice to you. Just last weekend he replace a tire on a rim for me only for 23$ when Cycle Gear ask for $50. He also did it while I was waiting within 20min. show me another place that will do that in the Bay Area.

I am so glad I found this place. Had been looking for a shop to give my CRF450 a major tune up, rebuild the forks, rebuild the carb, etc. Took my bike there for the first time the other day and Glen immediately welcomed me to the shop, did a super detailed walk through of the laundry list of items I wanted to get checked out (including getting on his back to look under the crank case with me to see a possible oil leak) and helped me pick out the right rear tire for the type of terrain I usually ride. All of this while the shop was totally full of bikes and he was already working on another bike when I stopped by. So, super friendly service, super knowledgeable, and just a great experience. These guys are the real deal.
