Charleston Scooter Company

I bought a used scooter from a friend and had it repaired by the Charleston Scooter Company. They did a good job, the price was fair, and they let me leave the scooter there for a few weeks while I moved into a new apartment and then delivered it to my new place for no charge. I really appreciate their helpfulness, friendliness, and going above and beyond to fix my scooter.

Unfortunately, after several dealings with the folks at Charleston Scooter Company, I regret having purchased my Scooter from them. I have lost a lot of money due to their unscrupulous taking advantage of a first time (inexperienced) buyer. To start off, Mike, the Owner or Manager highly overcharged me and this is my fault as I should have researched the product which he recommended to me. He wanted $ 1,600.00 for a 150cc Scooter which would include all taxes, DMV licensing fees, assembly and initial oil change. Well, it turns out that they never submitted the DMV paperwork, so I had to do that myself. Then he told me that he could tweak the scooter in order to improve its performance which would give me about ten more miles per hour on the top end. I brought the scooter back and paid another $ 130.00 for this «performance boost». It turns out that he told his mechanic to remove the Variator. The mechanic lied to me by telling me that this acted like a governor and that the scooter will really scream now!!! HA HA HA there was absolutely no increase in top speed at all!!! Long story shortened; the clutch began to fall apart because of this missing CLUTCH VARIATOR!!! Thankfully, I was able to find an honest scooter shop in Ladson, SC and the owner/​mechanic was able to fix the damage done by the mechanic from Charleston Scooter Company! But that repair cost me another $ 194.00!!!
I cannot in good conscience recommend purchasing any product or services from dishonest people so my advice is to shop elsewhere.
