Sams Cycle Supply

I used to by all my parts and supplies from Sam’s until my last call with him asking what he charges to replace tires on a rim. He’s reply was «nothing» which to me thinks I’m going to buy the tires from him and he will replace the old tires for free. When I told him I already had purchased the tires he’s response was «Get out, go to a motorcycle shop»…I did across the street to Ride Now and they were happy to replace my tires. I will never step foot into Sam’s cycle shop again and I will recommend to all my fellow riders to go to Ride Now on Rancho across the street. Courteous and professional.

Good all-​around experience great service. Took the time to explain services performed. Completed ahead of time. Returned bike cleaned like new. I won’t take my bike any where else

Stopped in on a Friday seeking very basic service. Older male (business owner?) and male employee (maybe in this early thirties?) behind counter appeared to be just shooting the ‘breeze’ with a guy. As I walked in with sport bike wheel still attached to a single fork tube, they were snickering. Huh? I was on my way to simply drop off a wheel for repair, and reached a point where my limited tools prevented removal of what last hex bolt holding on a rotor. Basically «hey, guys, you’re motorcycle mechanics and have the proper tools, might you assist for a reasonable fee?» «We charge $ 70 an hour and it will take at least that long, but we won’t be able to do it until tomorrow… leave it with us and come back» (from across town… time&money). They even admitted their ignorance, and being dimwitted. and the guy with the s***-eating grin just kept looking like a guy from the movie «Deliverance». My buddy who was with me and I were bewildered as to what was so funny or as to why they were acting in such a bizarre manner. I essentially said, «f*** it, I’d rather strip the hex bolt and damage the powder coated alloy wheel than to pay the guy a dime.» As soon as my friend and I got home, we gave it another try. In fewer than five minutes we removed the bolt — essentially snapping the Loctite bond, and then got the axle out. Because you can choose where to direct your business, why give it to these clowns? It was essentially, my saying, «my hands are slippery, can you open this jar?» And their replying, «Sure, drop your pants and bend over.» If you’re into ‘safety’ words go there and enjoy.

Horrible!!! I walked in prepared to spend a min. Of $ 600 dollars to 3 of my son’s toys back in action and was treated as a irratent instead of a paying customer. By Mr. Sam of Sam’s Cycles none the least! (I guess he forgot the reason he is in business and open on Sunday was to make money…) I walked out, didn’t spend a penny and will be happy to give my money to one of his competitor’s that will appreciate it on Monday morning. Save yourself time and hassle go somewhere else.

Use to shop here all the time years ago and always had positive experiences. Finally got a new bike and my wife already bought me new tires as a surprise.
Called today to get a quote on installation, which I would have paid full labor on, and got told to call somewhere else in a not so nice voice.
I guess they are busy enough to where they don’t need my money or my future business.

Went in to have my fork repaired and because I wanted to make sure it was rebuilt to match my other fork, they refused to help me. When I asked why, the old man just said «sorry we can’t help you.» Yeah, I worry about things being done right… mostly from being an aircraft mechanic in the AF, and I think that bothered the crap out of them. Big slap in the face for someone who just came back to the states. I do a lot of track riding and have ridden for quite sometime and never dealt with this kind of BS! Might as well have told me to go sit in the back of the bus!

Friendly, clean store, not much in the way of selection, and as expected for a small brick and mortar store, high retail prices.
If it wasn’t so far from home I’d be back.
No service experience, can’t comment on that.

Awesome cycle shop. My wife bought a bike which needed new tires, a tune up, and a safety inspection. Dropped the bike off on Friday and it was ready to go on Sunday. No problems since.

Just left Sam’s as a new rider… he took time to fit me in a helmet that fit perfectly and when he found out I was in the service offered me a discount for serving our country. Thanks Sam and thanks for the appreciation! I would send family here…

Sam’s has wonderful customer service, they had the tire done in 10 minutes for $ 35, and not a scratch on the rim. Besides tires, they do many other things, and they have good prices on their accessories. Sam’s Cycle Supply will definitely get my business when I replace the back tire in a month.

I went here today for basic oil change, tuneup on my Kawasaki Vulcan 900. I called and asked if they were busy, they said come on down. So I did. Quickly took my bike to the back, check in was easy, and 40 minutes later paid and out the door. Sam is a nice guy, friendly, and I will use them for all my services. I think my total was $ 94 of which $ 55 was parts. Bike is running great!

I crashed my 1988 Honda Hawk and did not know where to take it. I am a new rider and I did’t want to go somewhere and get the run-​a-​round, so as is my usual, I turned to Unilocal for help.
I have to say Sams deserves all the hype and more. Everyone there is really nice, knowledgeable, and not judgmental.
Sam is seriously the coolest motorcycle repair shop owner ever. He could be all cocky with all of his experience, but he is just the opposite. He is super humble, polite, and just all around awesome.
These guys took care of me and didn’t rip me off.
Thanks for all the help Sam!

I have been buying everything from oils, filters, clothing and billet accessories from Sam for about six years, I started when his shop was located next to ride now on Rancho him and his crew have always taken care of me but this review is based on the phone call I made on Wednesday for a quote to get my renthal sprockets, chain and Bridgestone tires installed and immediately I was asked if I bought the parts from him and I explained that they were purchased from renthal and the tires were a gift he then tells me he’s not going to waste labor on parts not purchased directly from him, I said Sam I’ve been a loyal customer and I’ve referred a countless amount of people to you through out the years, his reply was next time buy your parts from me and hung up on me! It’s now Saturday and I’m still like wtf was this guys problem.

After searching the dealers in town AND the internets for KX250 °F carb parts, I couldn’t find anything. Not only were the local dealers out of stock or not even available on every part I needed, they were waaay overpriced if they ordered it. Not having been to Sam’s before, I stopped in to press my luck. I told the guy behind the counter what I needed, he disappeared into the back and was back in 2 seconds with EXACTLY the parts I needed, all in one OEM bag for $ 20. Not individual parts totaling over $ 100 like the dealer. Not «we have to order it» or «thats not available», right there on the counter. Went riding the next day and was back later that week for suspension parts, he had those in stock also at fair prices, along with some free advice which can often be worth more than the parts. (I wonder if they can even find the part number for free advice at the dealer…) He shook my hand, introduced himself as Sam remembering me from before, and said come back for anything else I need. I’ll be making the drive across town to see Sam first for anything I need. The focus in this shop is on dirt bike/​atv stuff, but sometimes that focus really pays off.

The owner of this store is very unprofessional. I got referred to this store by a co-​worker and said that he would hook me up with everything. So, I made an appointment on Friday for a Saturday 9am appointment. I ride 20 miles to see him and he tells me he doesn’t have a mechanic and that there’s nothing he can do. He asked me to wait around and see if his mechanic decides to show up. 10 mins later he tells me that his mechanic showed up but it’s gonna be a few mins. I ask him how much all of this would cost me and he gave me a total. To which I asked him if he would hook me up like he promised me over the phone. He blew is top and totally disrespected me in front of another customer in the store. I told him that his attitude to someone that came referred to his store was extremely horrible and he should be grateful that he gets referrals and his excuse was that he was having a bad day. Really??? Since when does a customer becomes a victim of a store’s owner’s bad day??? I don’t care what anyone says, but this owner needs to learn the basics of having a business and that is customer service and keeping his promise.

If you’re anywhere near Las Vegas and in need of motorcycle anything, GO HERE. These guys are the best. Period.
This is my story:
I recently rode my motorcycle from LA to Vegas to visit my mom, and on the way my right mirror/​front brake handle assembly came loose as a result of the insane desert winds, thus making the 2^nd half of my ride very dangerous. When I arrived I found that the top screw of this assembly had fallen out. Shit. Where the hell am I gonna find the right size replacement in Vegas
I Unilocaled motorcycle repair places and Sam’s had good reviews so I give it a shot on the Sunday afternoon of my visit. The wiry/​scruffy/​friendly gentleman who works there helped me right away, and after a minimal amount of searching had the exact Allen screw that I needed. He then lent me the proper tool and walked me through remounting the assembly.
In the course of examining the handlebars he points out that the real reason the assembly came loose is that the bars aren’t perfectly round where it was tightened down, and needs to be repositioned to a part of the bars that are perfectly round, which means moving it in an inch. He suggests cutting the bars so everything lines up better, which was something I’d wanted to do since buying the bike because they’re way too wide for me, but figured it was a massive expense. «How much?» I ask. «About $ 40» he answers. That’s it? Ok. He then apologizes that it can’t be done today because they’re short staffed on Sundays, but says that if I come back right when they open the next day (9am), he’ll come in early and take care of it. Excellent, i think, because I need to get back to LA ASAP the next day as I have an audition in the afternoon. We shake on it. Inside the shop he explains the situation to a man I take to be his boss, who laughs at the idea of the wiry gentleman coming in early. He responds by offering to buy breakfast if he’s late.
I arrive at 9am the next day and the wiry gentleman is… late. His boss greets me and I jokingly tell him to order me an egg McMuffin. He’s texting his tardy employee when the man walks in through the back door. I bring the bike around back and he goes to work. A few minutes in I remember that my throttle is a little wobbly, and tell him so. He says it needs a new throttle tube and goes on another search for the correct part. The shop doesn’t have one, but his dad does. Conveniently his dad lives 5 minutes away. He hops on a scooter and returns 15 min. later with a $ 10 throttle tube that is an exact match.
By 10:45 the job is totally done. I go in to pay and the boss man charges me for a ½ hour of labor: $ 35. Plus $ 10 in cash to the guy’s dad for the tube. $ 45 total??? THAT“S IT??? They coulda charged me $ 200 and I’d’ve never known the difference. But they didn’t cause they’re a stand up place. And when all was said and done the boss man asks me if I still wanted my egg McMuffin. I feel like they probably didn’t believe me when I declined on account of needing to get back to LA ASAP, but that really was the truth. I woulda loved to have stuck around and eaten Mickey Ds with those dudes and shot the shit, seriously. Cool guys AND honest mechanics. GO HERE, ALWAYS.

Whatever I need, whenever I need it… The staff at SAMs is the best!

This is *THE* place to go for service.
I love any place where I’m on a first name basis with the owner. sam is wicked awesome. he’s the home town biker hero!!! Also he has a ton of dirt bike merch and once he gave me a free bikini!
They even do movie nights outside once a week. So awesome!

I’ve been in Las Vegas with my Suzuki GS500 °F as the only mode of transportation. Just took it to Sams to have it serviced. The staff, and Sam himself, were very friendly.
The shop carries mostly off-​road cycle supplies, and some conventional bicycle supplies as well (for younger children), but they can service street bikes even.

go here for all your off-​road cycle supply items, this is a small ma & pa shop and the owner sam is a super cool guy.
