Moto Republic is one of those places you hear about, but seldom find... great people, experienced technicians, friendly, helpful, fair, reasonable, and responsive. Brandon responded to my initial inquiry within 30 minutes, and Sebastian gave me 2+ hours of his undivided attention and expertise to solve my carb issue. With everything back together the motor started on the first kick and purred. I highly recommend Moto Republic.

I was in search of not only a great technical shop, but for a trustworthy as well. Found it here. Brandon responded to my email promptly, and answered every question happily. We probably went twenty emails or so and not once did he try to end it. They do their research on parts too, and will give their best advice for third party parts. Pretty surprised to be honest but that is not only what you hope from someone working on your prize piece, but from a business in general. Definitely reach out to them and see if they can help you out!

I wrapped up the chain/lube class with Jeff and Francisco. First up, they are amazing guys, and they made me (and I'm sure I can speak for all my classmates) feel very comfortable in class. They explained the mechanics of chains, sprockets, and the hands-on approach is top notch. I think the most important thing about spending the couple of hours there in the garage was the fact that in the end, you learn more about something you don't normally pay attention to (chain/clean/lube), and you feel massively accomplished, when your chain is all shiny and nicely lube, tension adjusted, etc.

What's really great about this place is the sense of community and learning. Had done a private wrench with Sebastian to install a new clutch lever. Today I took the oil change class. Both showed me invaluable things, how to DIY! Not to mention that everyone here is so super nice. Today it was Jeff and he is just the most patient and helped and amiable guy you'll meet (which is especially nice when you're a noob and don't know what you're doing).
You can give a man a fish, but teach a man to fish...
Check this place out. Seriously, you can learn a few things!

These guys are awesome. I needed some tires mounted and balanced. Brandon responded very quickly to each email and got my service done right away.
Plus I just love the whole idea of the place and letting people work on their own bikes while also running a working shop and dealership. This was my first experience and I want to fully support them. I bought one of their badass hats. I hope to keep these guys as my new shop. Thanks again all.

Highly Recommended! Jeff and his staff are amazing. Classes are great. I've taken both the oil change and brakes classes. They are very informative and the staff makes doing the projects incredibly easy. I have a Ducati 998 and the staff knew all the intricacies and tricks for an oil change and brake flush/bleed. Looking forward to taking more classes and learning more!

Jeff facilitated a consignment sale of a 2017 Triumph Bonneville T120 from a seller in California to me, a buyer from Las Vegas, NV. The entire experience with him and everyone else at Moto Republic was great. They treated me with kindness and respect and did everything they could to make sure the sale went as smoothly as possible on their end. They sold me an amazing bike which I'm absolutely in love with. Their shop is conveniently located right off the highway and was very easy to find. I loved these folks so much, i wish I lived in cali just so i could bring my bike back here for maintenance

I purchased a bike and took it straight to moto republic and the only reason is because of Danny. If you know you know. He's a legend. I've participated in their track days as well and the entire staff and pup are the most chill nicest group of people. I have invested a lot of work and money on my bike the last year and I'm happy I spend it there. Complete peace of mind. Jen, Brandon, Francisco are truly incredible and always kind, and professional. Don't think twice about this place, truly a a gem of a shop.

This is the place to go for your motorcycle needs. From the outset, they make you feel welcomed and assess your bike's needs and break it down to you in layman's terms. I've had 2 bikes here now, one for service and have been thoroughly pleased. I've also taken 2 classes here (chain and lube maintenance and oil change) and they're so worth the value and helped me build a lot more confidence with my Triumph. Definitely a good idea to get a class in and maybe meet a few other riders in the class. Very cool. They also have a lot of cool gear. Definitely a fan of their DIY monthly membership, too.

I did not know changing the oil on my 9T could be so much fun. I’ve been changing bike oil for as long as I’ve been riding and I learned some great new stuff last night. I changed bad habits - no over-tightening the filter or drain plug! Give the bike the oil it wants. W = winter.
Jeff and Francisco thanks a million.
If you want to take a class with a great set of teachers you have to sign up for one at Moto Republic.
I’ll be back!

Took my Honda Rebel 250 really appreciate it not having been mansplained, but rather explaining in a way that didn't make me feel like I was being dumb down because I'm a newbie female. Very attentive constantly checking in, friendly offering water and coffee, &they had cubbies for your helmet and other. I'm definitely going back, probably be my go to place. Aesthetically nice waiting area, & love the couches.

Moto Republic is a damn good motorcycle shop. I've bought gear, had a service performed on an old bike, and even used their DIY option to learn how to change the oil and brake fluid on my 2019 BMW RnineT Scrambler. The employees are nice and friendly and the shop itself is just fun to walk around and see all the cool bikes hanging out. I highly recommend the DIY classes - I learned how to work on my bike in a safe space with a technician who was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Once again I rode over to this small local shop and was able to get the parts I needed for my 40 year old Honda off the shelf .
They stock all manner of bulbs, chains, spark plugs and other routine maintenance items .
Plus , they'll fix / service your bike for you or teach you how to do it your self, they have clinics on a regular basis .
Local place, support them as they're there to help .

You also got to check out their apparel gear for all of your Moto-clothes to choose from! Just all around great s

Absolutely awesome shop with an amazing team behind it. Jeff, Danny, and Sam have helped my brother and myself with several different types of bikes. you name it, they've got it covered; cruisers, cafes, street, ADV etc.
they encourage you to DIY in their share-space garage, but also offer top notch service for those less-fun projects like a valve adjustment, carb cleaning or other. these guys/gal are all about bikes and seem to really enjoy talking about anything related to two wheels.
I've also taken a class on brake assembly/bleeding that was ultra helpful. the third sunday ride

I can only give 5 stars ?? These guys are worth 10 at least. I am honestly very grateful to have Moto Republic as my local shop. I first was introduced to M R during one of their 3rd Sunday rides. I'm not normally a group ride type, mainly because most of the time it's all Harley's or sport bikes. Moto Republic rides are a perfect combination of all types of bikes and riders. Nonjudgmental, well planned and easy going.
When it was time to change the oil in my bike, I attended one of their oil change workshops. I knew they would be well prepared, yet I was still pleasantly surprised

Attended the Brakes 101 class for $40. I've always been intimidated about bleeding my own brake lines and I'm more of a hands on learner and like having a structured class environment. It was excellent. I feel very confident with brakes and lines now. The class ran for about 3 hours and Jeff was an awesome instructor. Super nice and answered every question. I had the worst brake fluid out of the class, so I'm glad I was able to get it done and learn a valuable skill. I will definitely be enrolling in some more classes and take advantage of the work station rental. Thanks for the awesome experience

Really great shop, I highly recommend it to anyone! I brought in my used Moto Guzzi V7 for general check-up and an oil leak. Scheduled 1hr of private wrench ($135, you have a technician walking you through how to assess and repair your bike).
I learned a TON, the tech assigned to me (Marco) was super friendly, very calm and instructive. They gave me a checklist for future check-ups, and I feel way better about owning a motorcycle now.
I also had them change my rear tire tube, fix a leaky pipe, and it all came out to $220, about 2 hours spent at the shop, and a free beer to enjoy while chatting

DIY motorcycle shops are few and MotoRepublic is one of the better ones. More importantly, they have staff that is helpful and knowledgeable. They also share with their customers a positive attitude and the love for motorcycles.
The shop bays are clean, and the tool selection available is usually complete. Their other equipment in the shop is also well maintained and there are also scheduled classes for certification to use safely.
There is also a good flow of folks who are patrons and some good advice or banter is always available.
The rates are reasonable, and there is packages/subscription

I brought my KTM in for new pair of tiers. After the job was done I noticed the balancing weights don’t look right!! (See photo) Asked the mechanic why? He replied they don't have the smaller/thinner weights and he ensured it will work just fine.
The first ride noticed a nasty wobble in front wheel and handlebar... I went back to the shop and asked Jeff..
Jeff’s excuse was “The motorcycle does not like the new tires!!! it’s common in motorcycle world”!!!
Another motorcycle shop was able to fix the issue, and guess what? IT WAS THE BALANCING WEIGHTS!
