Detailed Answer
We don't limit ourselves to one brand or style. If it has two wheels and an engine, there's a very good chance we can work on it. Robert has experience across a wide range of motorcycle makes and models, from heavyweight cruisers to lightweight dual sports.
Brands We Work On
We regularly service motorcycles from Harley Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, KTM, BMW, Indian, and other major manufacturers. Whether you have a brand new bike or a well loved older model, we can handle the maintenance and most common repairs.
Types of Motorcycles We Service
Our mobile service works on cruisers, sportbikes, touring bikes, adventure and dual sport bikes, standard street bikes, and cafe racers. The type of bike doesn't change what we can do for you. Oil changes, brake service, chain work, electrical troubleshooting, and seasonal maintenance apply across the board.
For specialty or vintage motorcycles, we're happy to take a look and let you know what we can handle. Some older bikes have unique parts or systems that may require a specialist, and we'll be upfront about that if it applies.
What About Scooters?
Yes, we work on scooters too. They need the same basic maintenance as motorcycles, just on a smaller scale. Oil changes, brake checks, battery service, and general inspections are all part of what we offer for scooter owners in the Flathead Valley.
Not Sure If We Can Help?
If you have a bike that's a little unusual or you're not sure whether we service your particular make and model, just give us a call. We'll give you an honest answer. If it's something outside our wheelhouse, we'll point you in the right direction.

The main limitation is any job that requires a hydraulic lift. That includes full transmission rebuilds, major suspension overhauls, and frame work, but for those large projects our team will transport your vehicle to our private shop, conduct the repairs, and have it delivered back to your doorstep before you know it's even gone. For everything else, including diagnostics, brakes, electrical, engine work, and routine maintenance, we handle it on site.
