Schwartzkopf Exclusive Customs

they have reopened as DC Customs sales of parts and a cool front shop with clothes helmets gloves and cool biker stuff
There is a club house in the back where we work on our bikes, need anything fixed come by its a great place to go to, they know their stuff. also there often are little get-​together where you can hang with other bikers.
you can always come by with your bike and they will help you out and get you back on the road — mostly Harley bikes but they will work on what you have.

my friend would never Unilocal his review, but i will. eric took over 4 months to repair his bike, lost parts, and everytime he got the bike back… something else went wrong. seems like he doesnt double check his work, he’s careless, and takes FOREVER. either he thought my friend was a chump, or just does really bad work. My friend said he’s never going there again. The place looks real cool but my friend said hes finding another mechanic. i dont blame him…

Seriously??? totally shitty work, an embarrassment to all wrenches everywhere LMAO. this Jack off slaps parts together like a monkey that he got from the swap meets… I sadly and unfortunately bought a bike off this clown and traded him some great Vintage parts (A WHOLE BIKE) and this guy gives me this piece of shit that looked like it was OK till the handle bars came loose within 5 miles, I blew the spark plugs out almost completely, the fat bob tanks were so full of rust they stopped flowing all together and then I had to redo the carb because of all the rust pieces. the front brake line was squirting like it was an oil derrick, and to boot it wasn’t even street legal till I put it together the right way… How this fucking clown is still in business is a mystery and if Brad Pitt takes his wrecked bikes there its no wonder Eric probably didn’t torque one nut or bolt right and brad’s bikes literally fell apart. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS CLOWN SHOES MORON… BEWARE !!! SCAMMER!!! Steve, From Custom Deluxe, Not afraid to put my name on this!!!

As much as I like to support indies, I won’t go back here due to some carelessness and lack of backing up their work.
I had them install some new tires for my Harley. Months later, when I went to remove my brake caliper/​front wheel/​axle to do some fork work, my caliper mounting bolts completely stripped. I thought at first they were over-​torqued. No way they should be that tight. I managed to get them off after a day’s worth of effort and tool shopping and found Schwartzkopf had used red loctite on them. Red loctite on bolts that will be removed every 5K or so??? Careless.
The axle cap bolts were the same story except I’ve yet to be able to remove them. If they weren’t red loctited, they were waaaay over-​torqued. For now, the heads are stripped.
I contacted them through their website explaining the situation, explaining that no one has touched the front end since they removed my front wheel, and asked them to please let me know if they would be willing to remove the stripped axle cap bolts for me, in light of everything. It’s been a week and I’ve received no response whatsoever. Not even a «hell no».
I don’t care if Brad Pitt takes his bikes there. I don’t care if Eric builds great customs. All I want is quality work and service.

Came recommended from a too-​busy mechanic who hates everybody. Recommendation was warranted. Eric’s laid back, good guy, knows his shit, clearly loves bikes and has zero attitude. And this from a first-​time rider who knows diddly and doesn’t even pretend to walk the walk.

A good old-​school shop where the owner is the main wrench. Eric is the guy Brad Pitt hires to fix his crashed bikes, so why shouldn’t you?
Small showroom with a good collection of the usual custom stuff, with an insane assortment of custom bikes gracing the space as well. Might be a good destination just to window shop, it’s like a bike show year round.
