Metric Method Motorcycle Repair

I have been taking my motorcycle to Metric Method since early 2013. I have done the simple services…(Oil changes, Tires, service) and I have done the stuff no one wants to deal with (Completely rebuilding a bike). David the Service manager personally walks me through every step every time. Not one detail is left out, the level of customer service is on par with dining at Mastros. Aaron the technician is usually the one in charge of my bike once it hits the shop. He always goes the extra mile. and always does the little stuff to reassure your baby has been taking care of. At the end of they day you want to be working with a shop that you trust your life with. We all are always dealing with the «what if» when we put our leg over the saddle. Having that extra confidence when I get on my bike that it is dialed in is something money can’t buy you.

First time using this shop and I’m very impressed. Profesionalism through and through. Drove 30 miles one way to come here and its worth it.
Cleanest shop you’ll ever see with great service techs and fast efficient front end help.
Highly recommended.

Needed a new rear tire for my motorcycle called Metric Method on Tuesday asking if they had any in stock. Got a very hospitable person on the other line she told me they would be able to order it. Next thing I know I have an appointment on Thursday at 10am. Very friendly staff, great lounge, quick and great service. Definitely recommend this place, especially if you live in Irvine.

I learned about Metric Method via word of mouth. First thing I learned was that I should always call/​email before I show up just to make sure they can squeeze me in. David was quick to respond to my email to let me know that they can get me in at an agreed time. The amazing Pam greeted me at the door and dialed in everything that i needed for today’s visit. Both David and Pam were the most hospitable, gracious and professional individuals I’ve ever met from a motorcycle shop. As far as I’m concern, they’ve won a customer for life.

I always feel welcome when I step foot into the shop. Great experience every time I get work done on my bike. The staff gives me the best recommendations for my bikes performance for my everyday ride. I recommend this place to all riders asking for a shop to get their bikes worked on.

David who helped me on my 2015 R1 knows what he is talking about when I need help flashing my bike. Straight to business and now I’m pretty stoke to find a shop who doesn’t do a lackluster job! Will be coming back soon! :)

Great shop! Took care of me and recommended all the parts I needed. They were also very accommodating. They made sure I was safe to ride… and even when I needed assistance they were there to offer me options. My friend recommended me here and I will make sure I always come back here for assistance. David has been very helpful and he went out of his way to make sure my bike was fine tuned. Thank you guys for all your help and I appreciate you going out of your way. Your service is deeply appreciated.

Took my 1996 Royal Star in for service, first time, never have heard of them. Till a friend and the motorcycle tow guy, Mike, told me about this place that does excellent work a on import bikes. Mertic Methods was this and more. There shop is clean, organized, great location. They took care of everything from beginning to the end. David keeps you informed on what’s going on. He explain everything of the process going on with my motorcycle. They are now my regular service repair place. Also, after they were done repairing my bike, they detail it. Try them, you will find the service excellent also.

Called to schedule a drop off on Wednesday, tells me to come drop it off in a week on next Tuesday…
Sorry, not going to wait that long and pay you a premium. taking my bike elsewhere…
Want to have premium prices? have premium service… Rep tells me they don’t have room to store the bike… really dude? you realize this is a motorcycle not an suv? I have better stuff to do than wait around a whole week just for the privilege of dropping off a bike at your shop.
This really sucks, when I emailed them. Kyle seemed like he would take car of me, smoke and mirrors.

Ryan is amazing… He’s done work on my brother’s GSXR, along with my R1, R6, and SV. Ryan and his team really know their stuff. Some of the guys track, so they can help you with proper suspension setup, etc. People will argue that it’s a little pricey here, but I can confidently say that after dealing with several crappy shops and shoddy work (that did charge less), its all worth it. Trust me, save the headaches and take your bike here.

The techs here really know their stuff. I used to work at an auto mechanic and their practice of explaining the bike condition is excellent! I have an R1 and I know it’s got the best care here!
Because they’re the best, they’re also really busy. Just keep that in mind and don’t expect a low-​level rush job. Cheers!

I am not one to write too many reviews, but when I do, it means I was very impress!
I have been coming to Metric Method for many years now (Since 2007) and I have never taken the time to write a review on these guys. I gotta tell you, talk about a top-​notch bike shop. I have taken all of my bikes here, from my ’93 ZX7 to my ’09 MV Agusta. These guys make it very easy, I make an appointment, I drop off the bike and I picked up the next day. Compared to other shops and dealerships near by, the cost for repairs is minimal, I was surprised, especially after calling around to find the best labor rate. I was a bit shocked to see a couple of negative reviews on here, but based on the owners replies, it looks like the staff issues are being addressed. Luckily for me, I never had to experience that. Best of luck guys and hope to see you guys next month!

It’s great to hear back from you Ryan and I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I’m happy to hear that you are making the necessary improvements to your front staff.
I would like to end with this final remark that the different quotes was not the biggest concern. My concern was the wrong diagnostic — a diagnostic that had a cost difference of $ 400+.
I wish you and your establishment the best of luck.

Im not happy with Metric Method. They stole my almost 600 dollar for valve chain service.
At first visit, I went there to buy gas cap with great deal. Awesome customers
At second visit in 3 months ago, I brought my GSXR 600 to the service to check it up and walk around before I was on vacation. During vacation week, I hadn’t heard from them what’s up with my bike. When I came back, I called and they didn’t even start. It gave me another week to wait. Finally they told me, my motorcycle needs chain, valve service and new spark plugs. Another 2 weeks to wait. When it done the customers said everything are great.
At last as today, my motorcycle has shut down. It wont start warm up. I only rode about 350 miles. I LOST almost 600 FUCKING DOLLAR.

Great experience with them. Clean shop, smart and helpful staff. Most importantly I didn’t feel like I was getting ripped off or my bike was being worked on by an idiot. They changed out a rear tire, set up my suspension with me on the bike and even added a bolt to fill a hole where I removed a big ugly reflector without charging me or even asking them to. Thumbs up. They will get my future business for sure.

Finding a reputable and consistent motorcycle repair shop is difficult as it is, but how this shop manages to offer that along with a polite educated staff that sincerely cares about each customer that walks thru their doors is remarkable! From the moment I spoke to Kevin on the phone to the time he spent writing up my service order he was kind, informative and most importantly caring of how my bike was handled. He treated my bike as if it were his own and this is the number one important thing to me.
The service in order was to upgrade the front/​rear sprockets, chain, rear brake rotor & line. The service team didn’t an EXCELLENT job at that and when I walked in the back service bay I found my bike being detailed before it was lowered and ready for me to take back in my possession.
The shop itself is meticulous and very comfortable while waiting for any repairs to be done. Two ridiculously awesome race bikes are found in the designer waiting area along with a flat panel TV that delivered my fair share of race inspired videos.
All in all I can’t say enough about Metric Method other than it was totally worth the 1hr ride to get there and I will most definitely be returning for each and every service that I may ever need on any bike I own from this point forward. Great job guys!!!

This is the only shop that fully trust with my motorcycles. I’ve been coming here for several years and have yet to be unimpressed. They are the real deal!
A classy place managed and ran by Ryan and Kevin. A trustworthy motorcycle repair shop that has never fed me any sort of crap to up-​sell me or guide me to having anything fixed that wasn’t essencial.
This is important to me because like many of you who are reading this, I am simply not a mechanic but a rider who is ignorant to the full «ins and outs» of what makes my motorcycle cruise down the street. I’ve handed these guys the keys to my bikes on dozens of occasions and not once have I had to bring a bike back because something wasn’t done right.
It’s paramount having a trustworthy and capable motorcycle mechanic on hand and It’s truly unfortunate that this is a rare commodity these days. Dealerships are slow impersonal and expensive. The smaller shops are hit or miss leaving you wondering if you’ve gotten a fair shake or not. We are lucky to have this shop in our area.
Simply put… If you have a bike make sure you bring it to Metric Method when the time comes.

Was in the market to buy a new rear tire for my bf’s 2014 Yamaha Vstar 1300 tourer and came across Metric Method on Unilocal.Thank goodness I did! From the first phone call to us riding away from the shop, everything and everyone was top notch. David, Ryan, another Ryan and rest of the crew were and are AMAZING! David was super knowledgeable and while we waited for the rear tire install, he gave us a tour of the shop, gave me and my bf some great recommendations for our bikes, told some great stories and just made the entire experience more than pleasant. My bf was more than happy with his new tire and we even walked away with 2 sick ass, comfy Metric Method t-​shirts.
They do great work and even the owner gets down and dirty working on the bikes. Great guys, immaculate and organized shop. Look forward to having them do more work on our bikes in the near future.
Highly recommend as these lads know their stuff! Fair pricing and endless knowledge.

These guys are great. Very clean shop with attention to detail. The work is done well and they are honest. They can service your track bike as well as your street bike. Cruiser or sport.

awesome guys at metric method. I had my suspension tuned for my 2014 street triple R and it feels great so far, (i need to ride the canyons to get the full use of the tuning i had done… soon to come).
They know what they are doing and are very helpful with tips and some advise. Will definitely come back and recommend to everyone.
