EastSide Performance opened it's door in 1981 after TJ Jackson, a longtime motorcycle mechanic and drag racer decided to go out on his own. TJ's background in racing and his eye for quality led to a dedicated following of customers, many who are still coming in over 30 years later. In 2014, the torch was handed off to Sean Murphy who has taken over Eastside, following in TJ's footsteps.

We are not always the first shop to repair your bike. Most of the work we do is a result of a prior job done elsewhere that has gone bad. A great deal of our work is on bikes that have had a lot of amateur hands on them. Often, we spend a lot of additional time trying to figure out what the last knucklehead did.

I called all over the valley for a mechanic willing and able to work on my bike, I received a few excuses and a couple of referrals but no one willing to do the work until I called Eastside Performance Motorcycles and they were happy to get me in right away. They identified and resolved my clutch issues right away and got me back on the road.

I had my 2006 Yamaha Vmax at another shop for 7 months and they could not make the necessary repairs. After 7 days at EastSide Performance Motorcycles, everything the other shop did wrong was corrected and they diagnosed and repaired what was actually needed. It now runs like a brand new bike - Thank you!!!

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value
The rear brake on my '98 Honda VFR was dragging. This was an issue I had tried to remedy at other shops, with mechanic friends of mine, and on my own, to no avail - the linked brakes made the problem too complicated. Sean and his team found the root cause quicker than expected, and got the job done right. Very happy with the result.

I have a Z900, not a KZ900, which I purchased brand new in London, England. This motorcycle was made to be sold in England and Australia primarily. When I moved to Gilbert, AZ I needed this motorcycle to meet emission standards. I took my Z900 to a shop in Mesa and that cost me a few thousand dollars and the Z900 never ran correctly so I put it into storage.
In March of 2020 I started working on it again, took the Krieger exhaust and KZ900 carburetors off, put the standard 4 exhaust on it and put the original Z900 carbs back on. I was able to get it to run but it kept dying out when I would come

Rode to Arizona from Washington state and problems with the bead going out on my front tire multiple times during the trip. This shop was recommended for my 1983 Honda GL650, and I'm sure glad I checked it out! The owner Sean, had the wheel I needed and took time out of his busy schedule to fix it that same day! Will definitely be stopping by when I come down again 😎

Sean and the gang at Eastside Performance are a set of motorcycle community rock stars!
After being denied service at multiple shops - even dissatisfied shakes of the head from Harley, I finally found a home for my "Rare / Unusual" liquid-cooled Harley Street XG750.
(Eastside is a truly rare breed of shop that works on EVERYTHING!!)
I had a bit of an incident requiring some major work to the front end / suspension of the bike, plus 2 tires. The experience and quality of work at Eastside was absolutely top-notch. They really seem to pay attention to the little details and are extremely knowledgeable

Summer 2019: Riding my Honda Sabre 1100 from Boston to San Diego via Vancouver BC, on the way home thru 117F Arizona heat, the motor seized up kaput. Sean's company Eastside purchased an aftermarket engine for the bike, installed to perfection, changed my tire, and got me back on the road again. A very positive experience! One year and thousands of miles later, back in Boston, the bike with Sean's installed engine is running great! Thanks Sean!

Eastside/Sean along with his wife and the there mechanic did awesome work on my 99 Goldwing and we really enjoyed riding it back to Ohio. We even went through some snow in the Colorado mountains. I highly recommend letting them take care of your motorcycle maintenance especially on older model bikes.

First time I've ever had an oil change service and been informed about how much oil came out of the bike. For those of us.with metric bikes; the level of detail in service provides some knowledge of how my bike is performing.
11/15/2019 Once again. My bike was diagnosed and I received information that helps me identify potential future safety and maintenance. 👍👍
