Ōtobai no Rōnin

Long story short, I hate going to the dealer if I dont need to. Too many times have I paid for bad service and costly dealer mistakes. Not saying all places are bad, just a hand full that Ive dealt with. So, with this in mind I have gotten pretty handy with a wrench, but Im no "mechanic" by any means. But it came time to do my 12k valve check and possible adjustment on my Street Triple R. After reading the manual (which is not really straight forward) and researching the "interweb" I felt ok about doing it myself. The only part I wasnt 100% on is when I got to the valve part of the matter. But I found Wrench Moto via Yelp and they have gotten really good reviews. I swung by and spoke with Jeff (the owner) and asked several questions about my task and how they could help me along, if I needed it. After speaking with him I felt this would be my best bet to get the job done myself and have some guidance when I needed. Wrench Moto is great, Jeff was always available for a quick question and when I needed to clock him in to help, he was very thorough in explaining the process for the task at hand. I highly recommend stopping by and checking it out. Its a great place to get your hands dirty and learn more about your bike. Plus, you save some money in the process, and if you need a hand, Jeff and Mike are there to assist.

Ive been going to motorepublic since February 2016 and been very happy with their service. The husband and wife duo, Jeff and Susan, are really awesome people. Ive check out several moto repair shops and one of the things that annoys me is that there are just guys there who seem to think that a girl walking in a motorcycling shop is in need of attention and flirtation. With Jeff and Susan, its all about motorcycling. Its a safe place for women who just needs to get things done. Jeff and Andy (one of the mechanics) are both super chill, knows their stuff really well, and has so many good recommendations. These guys are like brothers I wish I had. Ive had my honda rebel serviced there and also got my recently purchased suzuki motorcycle inspected and set-up here. Having a motorcycle can get pretty pricey and its very important to find a place that will is fair and trustworthy. Motorepublic has been that for me and this is why I continue to come here.

I like this place so much I almost feel like I need to keep it to myself. Mike helped me (well, not so much helped as did most of the important stuff and stayed my hand so I didnt kill my own bike) do my 15k mile service on my Ducati Monster. He has years of experience with Desmo valves and showed me exactly how to use the feeler gauges to check spacing on the valves. He gave me rules of thumb on adjusting the belts and let me really get my hands dirty. The service ended up costing half the price of a dealership checkup while giving me priceless confidence to get into the engine for later services. This place is fantastic, after trying 6 different shops in and around LA, I finally found the place Ill be visiting a 2nd time, 3rd time, and as long as Im in the area this will be my shop.

Fantastic! Every neighborhood should have a garage like this, but as it stands I will happily ride out here from Playa del Rey to work on my bike. Clean, a full selection of tools, and friendly and knowledgeable staff. I was performing maintenance that Id never done before (but read up on) and wanted to use this garage as a "safety net" for the inevitable mistakes I might make. They talked me through a couple of tricky spots and got me back on the road. Theres no better feeling than fixing your own ride, and Ill be coming back here for every repair.

Im a new rider. I just got finished with the oil change class and had a blast. The staff are super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Many people have a passion for motorcycles. This place has that and also a passion for helping others catch that passion too... Not just to ride but to work on their own bikes and understand what their doing. I am the type who loves to learn and diy, and Moto Republic delivered on everything I was hoping for and more! Ill definitely be attending more of their classes in the future and work on my bike at their spot.

I love this place. I do not go anywhere else for my motorcycle service. They even have stations available for you to rent to be able to DIY and service your own moto. Now if you need some guidance they have services that they walk you through it. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely check them out if you have not done so. I reccommend then to anyone out there who has a motorcycle and is looking for a great shop. This is it. You will not be disappointed or let down.

After months of research and years of not riding, Moto was with me every step of the way. They were very patient and helped me avoid the mistake of getting a bike that was unsuitable. Jeff did a prepurchase inspection, and I could not be happier with my bike, my DIY classes, and the great people in the shop. Thanks to Jeff and Susan and all the crew for bringing my bike and my head up to speed for adventure travel on two wheels.

I love this place. I was overwhelmed by the issues with my old bike (I dont have a wrenching background) -- Jeff and team have been super friendly and helpful in guiding me to get it back to health. Ive learned a ton, and theyre building a great community, too! If you are looking for a place to start wrenching (or you just need some help on that one nagging issue), I cant recommend it highly enough.

This is great shop with a friendly and knowledgeable staff whos goal is to educate their customers and get your ride back on the road. I recently took their oil change course and it was a great experience. I look forward to going to more of their classes and developing my skills to work on my bike myself. If you have the opportunity, drop by the shop and take them up on the services they offer.

Today I woke up to a flat tire, more than 400 miles from home, on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. After sourcing a tire in South LA, Jeff @ Moto Republic opened up the shop to get me out of this pinch. Few things in life astound me more than the camaraderie of riders and those who seek to improve the world. Sincerest thanks to the entire team here at Moto Republic!

Jeff is a great help, runs a great operation for DIY Motorcycle enthusiasts. Great find for me and my biker friends! No prejudice about what you ride, just that you ride! If you want to replace a tire or an engine, and you dont trust a dealership and have some mechanical skills, do it yourself here!

These guys are the best not only did they help me gain the confidence to ride, but when my bike had trouble with the electrical system and left me on the side of the road, they came to the rescue. Get on it man. Get your ass to Moto-Republic. Expert service and loyal pals.
