Mac Douglas Motorcycle Service

Dude, Mac figured out and fixed, in two hours, what my previous mechanic couldn’t see in a month. he IS my new mechanic. Last two «mechanics» left a bad taste in my mouth. I thought I was going to strike out on my third, but Mac saved the day, saved my wallet, and saved one of the three things that make this life worth living. thank you Mac.

Took my motorcycle (Honda Shadow 750) for a new chain & carburetor maintenance & he had it ready in a few days. Honest guy as far as I can see. So I’ll trust him with my 750 for yrs 2 come. Btw. Cash Only Yeap Old School.

Brought my bike here for a carb upgrade last year and had a terrible experience. He installed the carb, after weeks of waiting he finally called to say it was done. Went to pick it up, rode on the freeway to get home and it started sputtering and cutting out at freeway speeds. Not only that, but the clutch cable had not been connected back up properly so I lost my clutch after 2 miles on the 55 freeway. I was pretty upset. When I called him and asked him about it he said stuff happens and that he did not test my bike (or ANY bikes) on the freeway as he has had too many accidents. He refuses to test bikes at speed and could not offer any other help. I had paid $ 300 cash and now no way to get it back without suing him for it. He told me «upgrade» was english for «does not fit». If he is your neighbor and works on your bike for free, I guess he is OK, but if I am paying my hard earned money I expect results. If you push him to fix something or make it right he gets belligerent. That’s not gruff and grumpy, that is RUDE. Will never go back.

Excellent cycle repair!
Mac is an honest guy, very old school and takes pride in his work. Yup, he works out of a very small ‘shop’ (more like a garage!), and may take a bit longer but wants to make sure he’s doing the best job he can on your bike so you don’t have to come back. He only takes cash, so have the money ready, but guaranteed — you’ll pay less here than anywhere else. My husband had his Gold Wing repaired by Mac and paid $ 300 — anywhere else and it would have been at least $ 500. Don’t hesitate to use him — there’s no reason to. Bottom line, he does a great job, works hard, and you are happy, happy, happy.

This guy Mac is REALLY the REAL deal… he’s old skool (a little gruff & grumpy type) but very kool, he’s VERY knowledgeable about motorcycles. =) +1
He’s the only one working here it’s just him & his small little garage, he works on all the bikes himself…& ALL of his customers are return customers (this tells you a lot about the work a person does…+1
He can help you with any problem that you have with yours & can help you FIX it with OUT charging you an arm & a leg like other places do =) +1
I called around about 20 /​more different places to get estimates about getting a basic tune up on my bike (some were SO outrageous, I mean, that’s even MORE than my car! come on now!)
So I tried this place which I found on Unilocal & gave it a try & spoke to Mac several times & when I went there to drop my bike off, Mac was very clear & straight to the point & didn’t BS me with extra problems here & there like other places did before. =) +1
I got my bike back & everything is running perfectly fine, it came out to be cheaper than what he quoted me in the 1^st place & he wasn’t out to rip me off. He does honest work & he’s straight to the point (Gotta love that) =)
Mac gave me several pointers & told me that if I had any problems at all to just come back & he’d fix it right away.
FYI, Mac only accepts cash, so if you are ok with that & want good service without getting ripped off & having your ass handed to you on a platter just b/​c other places think customers don’t know anything about the bikes that they send in to get repaired then just come here. =)

This guy is a real find! If your tired of being ripped off on motorcycle service here is the solution. Honest and reasonable. I’ve seen him fix the unfixable. One of the original sand cast Honda mechanics and talented on everything in between!

Mac is great. He works out of a tiny, messy, little shop in the back part of some industrial buildings and does really good work at a fair price. He has been working on motorcycles since 1968 and had been competatively racing them until not too long ago. Regardles of what kind of motorcycle you bring in, he can tell you all about it — from the crankshaft to the wheel bearings. Even better, he can fix it!
Great work, fair price, no B.S. (just don’t get him started talking about politics).
