Where do I start? After waiting for months for them to order parts for carb rebuilds, I called the owner out and told him I would pick my bike up. He then threatened to put a lien on my bike and demanded money (for no work done) to not steal my bike. After I called him out on his empty threat and told him he would lose in court and have to pay for it he begrudgingly "released" my bike to me. Once I went down to the shop he decided to apologize for the incident and asked me to let him finish the work. I agreed, after all he did admit mistake and maned up and apologized. Well after about two more months my bike finally was finished. Kudos to the mechanic that worked on it, he was excellent and got the job done right. Too bad for Anthony because his one competent mechanic left to go start his own shop, who according to Anthony was a piece of $#@!. Well keep reading because the story doesnt end there. I brought another bike in for an engine overhaul. The owner, Anthony, told me he could get it done by a certain date. Well the date passed by, no call, nothing. I figure he must have had a snag and give him a couple more weeks before I check up. I call and they havent even started, they have had my bike for over three months. I told him I was upset that he hasnt met his deadline. I go down to pick up my bike and I tell him it is poor business to take my business with no intention of meeting the conditions we agreed upon. He becomes really upset and starts to insult me, tells me how rough his neighborhood was growing up and how he is going to kick my ass. Well you can imagine how often people that talk about how tough they are actually follow through with their threats. And that is that. If you want a strung out wannabee mechanic to take your bike and put it in the back of the shop for months at a time and threaten you with violence, liens and bills please feel welcome to go to this shop. PS. Turns out my buddy down the street had an almost identical experience. Go figure.

Cool shop. Old school vibe. A lot of people have left bad reviews on here, but I dont think it is deserved. Take one look in the shop and youll see: These guys are very busy. You can tell by grease on their hands and the sweat on their brows. Ok, so some have complained about poor service. How about going in with general respect for recognized craftsmanship and humbly buy a t-shirt. They gave me their honest opinion about a bike Im working on and I sincerely appreciate not having someone sugar coat the amount of work my 45 year old heap of metal is going to cause me. Thanks for the talk, the shop tour and the local knowledge.

Excellent service! I purchased a slip on M4 exhaust for my FZ 07 to save some money. The slip on exhaust used my existing headers. The only problem was that I had to tighten the clamps so hard that it was bending the tubing. I email Bridge City about welding the system and after a couple emails they had all the info they needed to do the project. I brought it in and they were done in the same day. Fits great and weld looks great. I cant even begin to describe how many other shops refused to even help. I will be going back to Bridge City for future project!

Will not stand by work - $800 tank restoration including Caswell coating leaked 11 months after work completed. "Nothing lasts for ever." One year ago was keen to sell services but now says tank couldnt be saved. I get it that it failed - I dont the indifference to the $800 wasted.
