Bought a rear tire for my 97 Sportster on the web and needed a place to mount and balance it. A friend of mine had previously done the same thing and recommended this shop to get it done. I could not be happier with the service I received and the treatment I got. I dropped the tire off the day before, then came back the next day on the bike to have the work done. The service manager was polite, efficient and very reasonable. They held on to my helmet and gloves while the work was done, so I could leave the premises and do some errands. They did the work within the time frame they promised and even gave me the labor discount as if I had purchased the tire there.

Horrible service, as always. I purchased a MC in 1991 when they were on Abbott Street and was ripped off. They sold me the MC knowing I did not have a Class M drivers license and justified it by saying that the law allowed for me to ride it from the retailer to my home. I never returned in all these years, except, I recently was in a bind and ordered parts through them, with a promise of 24-hour turn-around. A week later, Im still waiting. I called other dealers and found that Salinas MC Centers prices are double that of other dealers...along with their despicable customer service.

As a yamaha dealer, one would think they would keep filters on the shelf.. no they do not, told me they would be here in one day..so I paid the higher cost to have them, they did not tell me they were charging me shipping cost at 5.00 each, I found that on the card statement and 7.00 more then amazon,,thats 24.00..and still had to wait longer for them then if I got them at Amazon,, Then the manager argues with me about how much Ive spent there and shakes his head no...batteries,oils,,collision damage of 8 grand...my business just went elsewhere!!!!

Worst shop in the world!I got roped in to buying a bike for $4000 and later found out it was not even worth $2500. I was told the bike was an 06 and as I was rushed out, there was nothing on the paper work stating the year. I asked for a copy of the paper work I did not receive and they just sent me a photo copy of a receipt... after laying it down 2 weeks later I found out it was a 96. They ripped off a poor soul who just wanted a good bike.They will lie cheat and steal.DO NOT GO THERE STAY AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN!

Tried to "over sale" the used bike then screwed up the title and registration. Bought the bike in March 2014, now in October and they have not done the title transfer or registration that we paid for upon purchase and are trying to say it is our responsibility to to all that! We dont even have any papers on the bike! Just the bill of sale and the temp. DMV VIN registration from the dealer. Now they do not return our calls. Once I pay up and fix all this, I am going to ask to be reimbursed or they can see me in court!!

DO NOT GO HERE! They are a total rip off when it comes to service. The service manager, Logan, and front desk person were very rude and would not work with us. Logan was verbally abusive and threatening even in his managers presence. Their customer service is non-existent! They are not up front with their prices for service and kept adding costs that we did not agree to. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM THIS PLACE!!! I only gave them one star because Google forced me to. Wish I could rate them with negative stars!!!

Spent money in this place over the years and $700 last year, they changed a tire I brought in six months ago and charged $54, a good deal. I brought another one in last week and they wanted $120 or $12 a minute! They were convenient just 2 blocks from me but they can now shove it. I drove just a few miles down the road to a smaller, friendly shop and he changed it for me on the spot, it ten minutes for a flat $50. Never again Salinas M.C. I had to give at least one star to post, way too much.

Very shady business practices at this place. I bought a motorcycle here. I was told that they would do a full service on the motorcycle, make it safe, and that they would do the service for free (waiving the $299 they apparently over-charge as we had negotiated). They did nothing. And when I called they said "we didnt do it because you didnt pay for it". They offered no remedy, and were wholly unapologetic for LYING. Their prices are way over industry standard. They lie. Go somewhere else.

Their service is wack, this is the last place you should consider buying. I bought here and and right after they sell you something, they do not want you there. They always have new personal all the time, Two other persons who bought here think the same, Im sorry for the dude that bought three times. One star is too much for them. DO NOT BUY HERE!! GET IT???? DO NOT BUY HERE! DO NOT BUY HERE!

Not as big as I thought it was. A lot of nice bikes tho. Was never greeted at all, which is fine, just means less of a chance that a salesman is gonna hound me. (I cant stand that). My biggest pet peeve when ever I go into a shop, NO PRICES. I figure if theres no price than it their way of sayin "unless you know what youre lookin at, were gonna screw you over. PUT A PRICE ON YOUR DAMN BIKES!!

This is the worst place ever their costumer service sucks. I dont recommend this place 2 anyone i literally came 2 return an oil for a motorcycle i ddnt need and they said "sorry thats 2 much work just keep it" like hello thats why your here 2 put in work and help the costumers!!! . I had made the purchase 2 days ago and had my recipt! They just suck never going here again.

From the outside it is hard to tell just how many bikes and atvs this store has. Also has a good selection of accessories. Staff seemed knowledgeable and prices fair. Good thing is they are open 7 days a week so when a lot of shops are closed these guys are open.

Went in and was actually interested in purchasing a dirt bike, no one even intoduced them selves or ask if we needed help the 10 to 15 minutes we were there. They do have a good size selection of new and some used bikes. No prices on an of the bikes.

Not even 6 and not suppose to be closed yet got a call in the morning that my kx parts were in already paid for them and yet I cant get them even though I was there 15 minutes before closing and I cant get them I will never come to this place again.

I bought a Yamaha Raptor here. I regret buying from them. When I took a closer look at the bike. There were pieces of wire holding a part. And the oil pan plug was stripped. Never again will I buy from them.

Worst place ever, bad customer service. Lie about prices once you go in store they dont honor what they post on Internet ads. Agree with some reviews they dont greet you, no prices on bikes and rude!
