    They have a lot of places like this in Arizona for cars. They're always packed and seem to get good business.

    I've considered a setup like this for cars for ages. Looks like a good place, but I don't see a good list of hard to find tools. I was hoping they'd have things like a chain breaker, etc. listed. I'm guessing it's in the works or something they'd get if requested.

    I want to thank the OP for posting about this. Since checking them out, I've installed new head bearings, new fork springs, fork seal, and a new gxr shock on my ninjette for a very reasonable price, WAY less then what a shop quoted. Not only that, but I've learned so much since I started. If you have a chance check them out, won't be disappointed.

    Interesting. Do they perhaps have a dyno?
    So many mods, So little money.

    Not sure on the dyno, but they have gear for changing tires and balancing. I went there for 3 hours on Sat the 14th to work on my bike, and I'll definitely be returning once the parts arrive. Very nice folks, helped me out a lot. First time working on any motorcycle for me, but achieved all my goals that day.

    Hey One-ops,

    The prices are listed on the website linked in the first post - see the reservation calendar link. I paid $10/hr for a 1k lift and access to all the tools.
