Reviews of Riverbank Motorcycles
M.I would not use anyone but Beven to work on my bikes . John and his team provide a great service, they are highly professional and are reasonably priced and they care about what they do. Why go anywhere else? It nice to be loyal to nice people.
M. S.Great company with first class service..
Honest and brilliant customer service.
Highly recommend using them..
T. D.No nonsense garage run by great guys, will be using for all my servicing/repairs/mot
L. M.Been using these guys for a decade. Always honest, helpful and reliable. Their prices are standard for london. Don't know what the negative complaints are on about. Clearly they've never owned a motorbike before. You get what you pay for. I've brought scooters, adventure bikes, cafe racers and custom bikes to them and always been happy with their service. Good lads.
L. G.I had one of my scooter tyres replaced here. I was very happy with the service and will definitely use them again.
D. P.Can't rate these guys enough. New tyre while I waited, very good price, unbelievable for central london actually. Very happy customer.
O.Excellent service. Took my Honda Hornet there, they went above and beyond. Offered a courtesy bike and to keep my gear in storage.
K. E.what a great place and really friendly to go to.. took my bandit in to them today and sorted it out straight away..and really cheep and great service too.. will defo use again and let my mates know too..

b.used for many years and happy with the service.
C. F.Absolute legends - sorted my bike out twice now without any notice and very reasonable prices. Also really nice guys!
c.Tiago is the man!! Sidney is a nice guy also!!! Genuine advise and a pleasure to talk to when it comes to bikes.. highly recommended! obrigado Guys!!
L. A.I'm very happy this guy's made it possible for me to keep my bike ulez free of charge as I ride in and out through London nearly every day. Very friendly and professional team. Thank you
O. H.No nonsense people, just have your paperwork with you and you get a bike. Would use again.
M. Z.Brilliant! Great sense of humour, great service, efficient, easy to find, highly recommended.
M. P.My local motorcycle repair shop, helpful and friendly. .would recommend to anyone who owns eather a import or an English motorcycle
P. G.Fast efficient fredly bunch of biker mechanics you will ever come across.
f. g.Great service, very friendly people. Fixed my break pedal in very short time. I would recommend it to everybody
H. N.Serious shop who can make anything work whether its repairs or custom jobs. Massive thanks to Neil
S. V.When I have bought my bike to be serviced or repaired. I have got an honest assessment and reasonably priced estimates.
g. w.Hi just to say had my mot done the other day very friendly people very satisfied with the service
H. M.Very good service, been with them over 4 years. Would recommend
E. R.I've been there to fix my Vespa ET2: good service, great price, fast enough. I fully recommend this place for your bike service
J. N.Awesome. Had my old R1 MOT'd and ULEZ tested, which it failed. Had a CAT installed there and then within the hour, retested and passed all for 450 quid. Not a small amount of money but very fairly priced given the significant efforts and speculative investment they've made to be able to offer this service. Much cheaper than a new bike and I don't have to sell the bike I want to keep riding. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Will be going here again 👍
P. B.Always helpful and can normally fit you in on the same day (though obviously depends how busy they are). Brilliant service and they won't rip you off.
A. K.Very friendly and reliable professional guys
Im their new regular client and costumer
S. 1.Best garage in town. Been using them for 20
years
M. H.Gave me some great advise for my bike. Will be coming back here for sure.
G. T.Fantastic service, friendly staff, decent prices and very accommodating. My go-to garage for servicing and faults.
s. e.got my exhaust done - very professional team, hard working and honest.
W. L.I called at 0930 in the morning; bike fully fixed on my doorstep by 1030. Absolutely incredible service.
k. a.I rented a Yamaha YBR 125 for the day. It ran well. Price was fine. Not the latest model but I knew that. It was all very low hassle. They were nice, even when I returned the bike after hours. Easy to get lost without a working GPS it appears. Remember your paper work though.
k.Excellent experience with this company and I highly recommend them. Communications from initial enquiry to end of trip were outstanding. I texted or emailed and got a reply same day. Prices were very reasonable and even though bikes were older models we had no mechanical problems. All three bikes went down at least once during U-turns and levers were broken and one muffler detached yet charges for damages were way less than I expected. John, the owner, is a very personable guy and you tell from talking to him that he is not into ripping you off. He gladly stored our suitcases and provided bungee cords. His location at present is convenient and only a short taxi ride from a subway station. I have no reservations at all in recommending this business.
T. G.Perfect service. They even cleaned and then chained my bike up outside for me when I couldn't make it in time before close!
D. h.Very professional people.
I had to have 2x catalytic converters fitted to comply. And this was done sympathetically to my motorcycle. Excellent workmanship.
J. S.Took my Chineseium 125 lexmoto here for a MOT - had a few problems but got them all sorted out for a great price, knowledgeable and friendly staff would definitely recommend for any new riders looking for a honest / reliable garage in the area, they're open Saturdays also (and theres a nice caff right next door)
M. M. (.Very quick and pleasant Service. Thanks guys!
P. O.Took my scooter in for faulty indicators and managed to get this done the same day, was very happy with the service and the speed in which they got it done and it wasn't too badly priced. Will be using them in future as its very convenient being so close to the city.
S. 1.Best garage in town. Been using them for 20
years
M. Z.Brilliant! Great sense of humour, great service, efficient, easy to find, highly recommended.
W. L.I called at 0930 in the morning; bike fully fixed on my doorstep by 1030. Absolutely incredible service.
t. a.The best people to go to 10 stars
W. M.5* experience with this company, will definitely be back for another hire!
a. r.highly recommended, knowledgeable, helpful and they will do extra mile for you if you really are stuck .
A. M.Rented a bicycle for London Virgin Triathlon and it worked out great. Very good bike (Giant TCR Aereo) , well kept, smooth gears, just like you would like it to be. Strongly recommend it.
P. T.Very nice people. Easy do talk to and know what they doing. Agreed a drop off of my bike for a nex day morning and colected same day evening after work.
That option suits me well
Prices arround 50 an hour which is not expensive
O. P.Great honest service. Good value for money.
J. T.Fanatic Service! My scooter has been jammed in 1st gear for months and I was worried getting it fixed would end up costing me a fortune. I bought it along to riverside motorcycles to see what they could do and I was assured they could fix the problem. Not being a mechanic I am not sure what they did, but I do this, now the scooter is changing in all gears. Thank you!
J. M. K.Very friendly and helpful staff. Bit long wait for a part delivery but I guess it's not their fault.
N. I.Top guys and very knowlegable.
M. M.5* experience with this company, will definitely be back for another hire!
S. P.They've fixed several punctures for me, always a good job and open early.
P. N.Great lads, always friendly always a good price
a. l.Great customer service.
J. T.Great service every time. They only place I'll go for scooter repair.
I. C.Very good and quality stuff always looks to help you 👍👍👍👍
H. G.Great service. Professional and give great advice. I took my 2001 Yamaha Fazer 600 in for the Ulez test and it passed no problem.
Would highly recommend.
Thanks guys!
d. m.Top guys, very helpful. Recommend.
J. D.Went in to get my front brake pads and steering head bearing sorted. Another garage had quoted me £300-350 including parts, claiming that the bearing needed to be replaced.
Riverbank took a look and told me the bearing might only need to be adjusted - as it turned out, they were right.
They did the work needed along with an MOT and the final cost did not come anywhere near the other garage's quote.
This is a reliable, no-nonsense workshop, and I will definitely return in the future.
R. C.All good ulez criteria sorted
J. T.Expensive but it is worthy for me, I can keep my bike for the future.
F. C.Amazing customer service, fast and reliable team!
C. D.This place is not for bicycle repair anymore, only for motobikes !
Z. T.👍👍 Neils always great guy done me ULEZ test all good
k.MOT and mechanical issues with bike sort it.Reccomended.
D. “. D.Professional and friendly service
D. L.Neal is very knowledgeable
L. V.Been using John and Bev for years, great guys... They have always helped me out when I need it most, you won't find a better garage
A. G.Called them up at 9.30 for an MOT, got lucky as I was there by 10 out by 1030. Cheap as well. Will be using them again.
O. W.Been using this shop for years, great guys and never had a problem.
w. o. w.Proper bikers bike shop, forget the main dealer take your bike to a biker not a service manager..
M. G.Was a great bike shop conveniently located. Now closed and moved elsewhere
L. E.These guys really know their stuff! Took my 01- Fatboys there for an emissions test to be ULEZ exempted, first time round it failed the test by a mile and a half. Straight after they suggested a tune up and remapped my fuel injection. 2 hours after failing my first test the thing Qualifies for ULEZ exemption, if you have an older bike that you’re really attached to it’s 100% taking it over to these guys. I now no longer have to worry about the future zone expansion which I live in. Worth. Every. Penny.
g. G.very good customer service
M. P.Very nice and professional guys, you pay for the quality and the great service. You won´t be cheated.

A. C.Forgot to write a review for this when i used these guys!!
What a service, i took in my 1989 Honda C90 for the emissions test and was so impressed with the service. More people need to know about this, also unlike other bike mechanics these guys rel=ply to emails and are super helpful.
Keep up the excellent work!!
M. A.Passed the Emissions Test on my 1998 VFR800 (78,700miles) and can apply for ULEZ emissions charge based on the successful test. Only TFL approved facility in London for ULEZ exemption Emissions testing.
Very helpful staff and stock several inline Catalytic Converters for various Bikes.

Happy Days.

G. B.All very helpful and job done 👍
D. M.Great knowledgeable garage helpful and friendly.
E. T.Lovely afternoon 🙂
V. M.Its excellent u will enjoy n fully satisfied with them
M. S.Neil is absolutely fantastic at his job. He takes the time to make sure your bike runs at it’s optimal, no matter how long it takes. If you made changes to your bike and are told you don’t need a Dyno…you probably do! Go see Neil, massive performance improvement that is noticeable right away.
c. r.They always do a superb job
A. M.A crew of mechanics that really no their bikes and relaxed and open atmosphere.
l. k.Good service i got my ulez testing done here, you could do with a sign on the main road , but other than that great people.

S. G.Rented a scooter. All was well, no fuss.
N. H.Top place. Top fellas
A. I.Hired out 125cc bike for a week.
A. C.Neil from Riverbank Motorcycles found me broken down on the side of the road and fixed my bike free of charge! Bike was struggling to turn over with a slight fuel line leak and had been left standing for months. Was about to call recovery service when Neil popped up and rescued me. Gave me new spark plug and shored up the fuel line free of charge. I returned the next day and replacement fuel line only cost a tenner! Great service, friendly staff and good samaritans! Throughly recommend.
N. B.Haven't visited but spoken to them on the phone. They provided me with a realistic estimate of getting my 97 Honda Blackbird through the ULEZ testing & detailed all the work involved without assuming I was a technically inept. Very impressed with the advice & model specific information.
H. S.Hire a motorbike
Was nice

B. T.Fast, efficient, friendly, knowledgable and great music. John and Neil were great - explained the process clearly and what might be needed if the result was borderline or well over etc - so I knew worst, best and middle case options. As it happens my bike passed it's ULEZ well under and 2 days later I am free to leave the house without paying £12.50 in ULEZ charges. super guys will go back. recommended

J. W.John at this garage saved the day for me, they were willing to pick up and test my bike on the same day although being heavily booked.
I was getting chased up by a bike rental company after an accident and having just been released from hospital not long before.
Being in no state to be walking around (leg in a splint, stitches on knee), I wanted a 2nd opinion before the bike was taken back so at least I would know whether it was down to a lack of skill or mechanical failure.
The test was conducted fairly and very efficiently, I was only charged a minimal fee for the test and for the pickup of the vehicle, which I really appreciate since I was unable to work due to injury.
Thanks again to John and Jerry (hope I recalled correctly, please pardon me if not, tonnes of respect~! 🙏💖😁)

c. 0.Sent my zzr1100d over for a ulez test in April...nearly passed but had to have a cat put in also got the mot at same time. all passed all good was £500 but how can you get a big sports tourer for a monkey ...its always different bike to bike. Riverbank motorcycles People are good and work hard not only to keep customers cost low do their level best in all area's very good service..thanks lads
D. W.Went here to get my ULEZ test on my 2002 Honda to allow me to ride into London.
Unfortunately first test had a reading of 0.3 (limit is 0.15). They explained what they could do to get my bike compliant and within the hour, the work was completed, the bike was retested and it passed. I needed to fit a cat but cost of the work seemed reasonable given it saved the hassle of needing to change the bike.
Everyone I spoke to were super friendly and informative. Would happily recommend 👌
I. M.Excellent service from a highly skilled traditional motorbike workshop. Can resolve any bike issue quickly and at a fair price - highly recommended.
K. p.The owner seemed to know his bikes. Had a pleasant professional attitude and was prompt and courteous. I cant thank him enough for his reply and fitting me in for a NOx test immediately the same day. Expensive as the test is. It is now ULEZ exempt and that is worth its value to me.
Thanks again for the great service.I will visit again if i ever need any major work done on my reliable Honda VFR 2003.
C. T. J.Refreshingly good quality from most everyday garages all staff are experts in there own fields work is done swiftly and very correctly, drop-ins are dealt with alongside appointment bookings and thier rates are very competitive all in all a goto place for repairs,servicing,MoT and Euro 3 compliance.
M. J.I had heard that many pre 2006 motorcycles were actually ULEZ compliant and, if not, most could be made compliant by this garage. To be honest I was a bit sceptical and didn’t want to pay out £175 just to find out it was not compliant or they were some back street scam artists. So I rode there on my 26 year old Harley (though a relatively new carburettor) to check them out. Neil explained what work/adjustment was likely to be required and why (a fixed price of £75 for the works plus £175 for the test) and, as there was a cancellation, I left them to it. It’s not a small price, but my bike is running smoother and is now officially ULEZ compliant so well worth the expense. Great job guys, thank you.
c. v.My boyfriend has a suzuki bandit 600 , 97reg with 95,000miles on the clock, he has owned this bike for over 20yrs and was fretting that he would have to get rid of it because it did not qualify for ulez.
The extension would mean he would have to pay to travel to work or spend thousands on a new bike. Fortuantly he discovered Riverside Motorbikes they are the only bikes ulez test center in london. They were very good and helpful and got his old faithful passed through the test by installing a cat in the link pipe(not a moggy) thanks to them he can now ride his bike to work and saved himself thousands of pounds. A definate recommendation for anyone riding oldies to work. Thumbs up!
V. V.I have booked my Harley with them for ULEZ emission testing. Neil was great, what a legend!!! I will definitely use them again. Highly recommended.
P.Superb service, friendly staff. They just tune up my 21yo GPZ to ULEZ requirements 🙃🙃🙃🙃.
Don't scrap your motorbike yet! Just visit them. Higly recommend. Thanks again
A. M.Great service by the guys here to make my 1998 TL1000S ULEZ compliant - tested and cats fitted all while i waited so I can now use the bike in London. Big relief and big thumbs up!
M. L.These guys are competent and really keen to provide a good service. Prices are good, workshop is tidy. I've been here twice now, and both times have been a good experience. Today they fixed an electrical problem on my bike they they'd estimated might be about 30-60 mins work; it turned out to be simpler than expected so they charged me £10; they could have charged me more and I'd have been none the wiser, but they didn't. Good honest service. Thanks guys.
e. l.They do what they say very efficiently. a great motorcycle shop
P. S.After a morning phone call, they managed to fit me in for a service the very next day, and look at my rear brake as well.
Everyone there was extremely friendly, efficient and it was reasonably priced. They sorted my bike out and had it back to me the same day; I could want better.
Highly recommended.
E. d. W.Professional, fast and efficient service. They were able to fit me in right away and it was all done in 30 minutes. At £175, a great saving on the ULEZ charge, as it will have paid for itself in 16 journeys, or 16 days once the ULEZ borders have been widened. Highly recommended.
B. M.Got a puncture on my way to work these guys fixed it so I could get home.
great job and they put the bike back together perfectly.
Easy to talk to,
Very reasonable rates.
Highly recommended.
If I lived closer I'd stop doing all my own maintenance/servicing.
Riding for 14 years, I do 16000 miles a year on the bike.
W. R.Been here a quite a few times over the years for help and advice. Very friendly bunch of guys.
Earlier this year I bought a Honda CB600F from them, very reasonably priced and the bike hasn't missed a beat. I had to wait a few weeks for the bike to be ready but they sorted me out with a courtesy bike.
Overall very positive experience. I will be back.
D. O.Had a puncture on the bike and Riverside fitted me in straight away. Thank you! Knowledgeable and effective.
A. G.ULEZ Emissions Test:
I was so Impressed with the rapid Emissions test I was In and out within half an hour, these guy's don't mess around.. Professional motorcycle mechanics for serious bikers !!
my Yamaha V.Max passed Emissions test thanks guy's
Special thanks to John
From the guy who has family issues ,
P. f.Great service and no fuss. Normally done within the 30 mins time frame. If you want to have something to eat or drink, bring your own, cafe is rather pricey.
S. L.I have been using City Bike Service for many years and they have looked after the three bikes I have had in that time exclusively and excellently. They are quick, sensibly priced, keen to help and if will attend to largest and smallest of jobs. They will mend things if they can, use second hand where possible and sensible, and I can recommend them for all your bike needs. They are also, once you have found them (!), really conveniently placed.
J. C.Massive thanks to Neil and Riverbank Motorcycles. Took my 1984 CX650 in for a carburettor tune and ULEZ test and it’s a new bike, honestly can’t believe the change. All done within hours and for the price quoted, would recommend to all.
T. B.Neil is awesome! Very knowledgeable garage! Will look after you
C. W.Got a puncture on my way to work, called them in the morning, dropped my bike off at lunch and was ready to pick up before I left - same day. They did a professional job and asked if I wanted the cheap 10 quid option or the proper £25 job. Was really a no brainier.
As per other reviewers I would definitely bring my bike back for maintenance/servicing.
r. c.I took my '93 zephyr 750 in to see if I could get it through the ULEZ test, as I don't want to have get rid of it when the extension comes in next year.. They fitted a CAT in the exhaust, and hay presto it passed..
Great service..
C. C.I have a Honda Dylan scooter and I have been to City Bike Service for 2 services and 1 repair. Each time it has been excellent!!!
Customer service has always been friendly and efficient.
Prices are reasonable too. They even washed my bike clean too!!
They open 8am till 7pm, so drop it off before work and pick it up after, could not be more simpler.
Highly recommended!!
N. G.Fantastic, super fast service. Used this garage a few times now for punctures to MOTs. Each time I've turned up unannounced and been seen straight away - even when 5 minutes from closing! Completely open and honest service and mechanics are happy to show me any issues with the bikes. Extremely good value. Can't recommend highly enough.
T. D.Rented a 125cc bike from them for the week to see if it was an option for me for my daily commute (turns out I love it, but that's by the by). The staff and the whole process were great. Their website tells you what documents to bring, you can use their helmet and gloves free of charge and the taking out and returning process was quick and easy. Highly recommend them.
M. R.happy to be here! just got my new wheels of my big bikes and guess what?they have a cheaper price than the others! well,the quality was good no worries at all.The service was awesome! they really help you to fix immediately.Nice staffs! they are so cool!
s. a.Superb .... professional and curtious and very knowledgeable ....Highly recommend this place, easy to get to & ample bike parking ... very competitive prices ... Cafe on same estate if you need to wait for a bit 😎👍
W. W.I had a catalytic converter fitted in this garage. Job done quickly without any problems, my old vfr is now ULEZ compilant.
O. A.Called yesterday afternoon. They asked me to bring in this morning. Was up on the ramp for a service within 10 mins of arrival and Service was finished within an hour.
I have a Chinese Scooter, with most of the major Service Centers around London refusing to look at it, but these wonderful people dealt with it like Pros, and had me riding away with a smile on my face and a scooter that felt so much better in the road.
I recommend Highly to anyone on 2 wheels. Will be bringing all my bikes to these guys in the future.
Friendly, courteous and really great value for money!
C. O. M.Rented a 125cc to practice for my DAS. Hadn't ridden a bike in a while and the owner allowed me to use a section of the yard to practice some manoeuvres and get confident on the bike again before heading out on the road. Great value, all staff I dealt with were friendly & enthusiastic. Highly recommended.
T.Great service. I had my bike collected by the AA with a flat tyre, but we got stuck in traffic, arrived at City Bikes just after 6pm. Very helpful team and one of the crew offered to do it there and then, saving me the hassle of heading back to collect the next week.
Very friendly and quick service, thanks guys!
K. H.Best motorbike garage in London. I made a vow to myself that City Motorbike service is the only garage I take my motorbike to and ride out with confidence as I leave my motorbike in good hands. I have serviced my motorbike countless times since I ride and never left disappointed. From fitting new tires (and balancing them), valve synchronization, alternator, breaks, spark plugs...etc. Always with a charm and a good price for professional work.
A.Fantastic service, although I trashed my bike. The guys couldn't be more helpful, and as a lone female going in to the garage I felt like I could trust them not to rip me off, unlike some garages.
Would highly recommend for pick-up, repairs and advice. Very happy....although not happy about what I did to my bike :-/
J. G.The people at City Bikes do a great job, my BWW came back from service and MOT riding like a dream, it's not the cheapest around but it is worth the extra. We did have some communication issues but to be fair that was as much my fault as anyone elses but once we sorted ourselves out things were spot on. If you want a good reliable service then City Bikes will deliver.
O. A.Totally sorted my bike out last minute. Professional, friendly and clearly adept engineers. No bullshit just good work at a reasonable price. Will definitely be going to them for all other work on my 1200 bandit. Thoroughly recommend
L. H.My TDM broke down at the petrol station next door and refused to start. Id had this issue before and knew it was a relay that needed cleaning. These guys helped by cleaning the really contacts and also letting me try the same relay from a similar bike!
They even refused to let me pay for their time/services.
Real demonstration of going above and beyond. I will be coming back here again. Its also so convenient for the city.
Thank you so much!
S. B.Good service. Really helpful staff. They offer a breakdown recovery service too. Had a few issues with my scooter. They picked it up. Kept me up to date with progress and checked if I wanted certain, expensive, jobs done before doing them.
R. C.Bevan did a great job of fixing up my stolen/recovered scooter,cheers.
John is helpful.
Place is recommended.
A. A.Thank you for making this is easy. My 1996 Ninja ZX6R passed the first time with only costing me £175. Saving me a retest fee of £75 and a new cat cost of £200. So really happy about this. Would definitely recommend you guys.
a.Rented a Yamaha YBR 125cc to get a bit of practice in for a week before my DA module 1. Had searched high and low for a place that rented bikes to the point where I was looking at places quite a bit of a drive outside of London - stumbled across this place and was surprised at their prices and location. The staff were very friendly, offered me a choice of new bikes they had in (I went for the YBR anyway as I'd done my CBT on one), filled in a bit of cursory paperwork and was away. Whenever I was at their garage there seemed to be a constant flow of repeat customers, which is always a good sign, and I have to say that for a place as reputable as they seemed, I am surprised it took so long to find them on google. Handing the bike back wasn't a problem (except I had accidentally taken a customer's helmet instead of one of their stock ones. Apparently they are changing their helmet storage system because of me - whoops). Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to hire a motorcycle in London. Will definitely be using them again in the New Year as if I am honest I was very impressed (to the point where I have written my first ever online review)
J. L.Used this place for a few years to fix electrical faults, punctures, replace tyres and fork seals.
Polite and helpful staff. Good communication (texts to confirm prices, let you know when parts are in and when the job is finished).
Drop the bike off in the morning on the way to work and pick it up in the evening. Perfect if you work in the Shoreditch/Liverpool Street area.
T. H.I searched around for a Garage that would work on my custom Lifan. Noone would touch it. City bike service took my bike in without hesitation and did a fast and efficient job. I will be 100% using City Bike Service for any future problems. Great Price, fast and friendly.
A. D.Very helpful staff. Polite curteous informative and willing to assist. Great service and completed the job efficiently and without difficulty. I will use again.
n. m.I have been using these guys for years both here and in Bow, quick efficient and the communication is excellent, if they find any issues with my bike they call me to confirm I want the work doing before going ahead so I don't have any surprises upon collection. Use with confidence.
A. E.Quick ULEZ test and fixed the bike in the same go. Great service and knowledge. Now I can happily ride in Central London again! Thanks!
g. o.Fast polite professional service, good clean work shop - top quality ++++++++
J. M.Great service and very knowledgeable and honest staff. Well priced considering its location and I've never waited more than a couple of days to get booked in, even had broken down bikes recovered straight there.
J. C.Very pleasant experience with this company had ulez test done on my motorcycle.
E. H.They have looked after my CBR over the last two years. I find them always friendly and they get the job done promptly and without fuss, with good communication and honest advice. CBS are competitively priced too.
P. M.First time at Riverside today.. took my1993 BMW r100 in for the ulez test. Was expecting the worst with regards the Nox readings but the team were amazing, had some excellent top notch parts which meant I walked away with 10% more bhp, better mpg, smoother pick up and now ulez free. Thanks lads , be back with the rest of my bikes!
Ps there is a cafe 50meters away to chill whilst they work some magic
G. K.I had my bikes serviced here for over 10 years now. Quick and friendly service for a reasonable price.
a.Friendly, cautious and fast. I had a puncture on my scooter, they picked it up and fixed it very quickly. the person in charge had great customer service and nice manners.
s. f.Just had my bike fixed again on a very difficult intermittent fault that another garage failed to fix.
Something to do with fuelling.
I always come back here whenever I can as the skill level is high and I only get charged for what I order.
I would highly recommend these guys to anyone.
They have looked after my Kawasiki ZX12R Honda Fireblade, scooter and maxi scooter.
enjoy!
J. S.Friendly and trusty staff, superb quality service, fair prices. That's all I need from a garage to keep my bike in shape. Thank you Andy, Berto and Marlis! I'm delighted. Cheers.
N. B.Great service,
Walked in, was able to be seen straight away.
Had a puncture repaired interally, tyre off, patch on.
Finished in about 30 mins, and was very affordable
P. O.Took my scooter in for faulty indicators and managed to get this done the same day, was very happy with the service and the speed in which they got it done and it wasn't too badly priced. Will be using them in future as its very convenient being so close to the city.
E. K.I got a Vespa GT which let me down last week and this was the only open bike shop after 6pm on a thursday. Infact, they are open 6 days a week and on week days till 7pm... These are really hard working and honest guys who accepted to repair my bike the same day and I was so impressed I also asked for a 15K service. Unlike most scooter garages, they opened the engine infront of me and showed me every single failing part and got my confirmation before they changed anything; so no dodgy extra costs... I'll never take my scooter to any other place again.
I actually thought a lot before writing this review coz I dont want this shop to get too busy and spoiled with customers... But they deserve every word.
E. R.It is the most honest and sincere staff that i came across in this kind of business. I took my zzr1400 which i thought it was a head gasket,thinking in around 400 pounds and to get a valve clearance and they went around it. End up paying 105 pounds. Excellent!!!!
A. P.Excellent friendly service. Turned up when they opened for a puncture repair. As soon as they cleared the bikes out mine was in, up and done. Will be using these guys again.
D. J.I popped in as I was close & my headlight bulb had gone , I left the bike & had a wander , cane back & was told it had just come loose so they tightened it up & replaced the side light that was broken ... charges me £1 for the bulb !
Brilliant friendly service from Andy , I can't recommend the place highly enough !
Next service they will be getting my custom !
T. B.At the end those guys have done a brilliant Job..Mr John helped from the beginning till the end.. my V5 was been held from DVLA but with patience and calm now I can drive my old Bandit in the town without pay any commission charge.
A bit too expensive for my taste.. u can easily find a cat for around £100! In this shop mine costed me around £170! Without fitting cost !.
But what can I say? This is London!
Thanks for your help
S. G.Knowledgeable friendly guys. Sensible pricing. Recommended.
Able to certificate your bike so you can use it in the ULEZ too, very cool 😎
C. C. (.I got a cbr 600 rr 2004 and everytime I have a puncture or any issue I am going straight there because they are friendly, professionals and reliable. They really enjoy their work and are not doing just for money. I really recommend them
W. J.Great service!
Would definitely go back for any probs with my 2 Stroke!
Cheers lads
2. E.Friendly, quick, helpful with advice. Even though they had cut one of my handlebar grips slightly by accident, they acknowledged the fault and deducted from the invoice with no hassle. Would recommend.
A. M.Rented a bicycle for London Virgin Triathlon and it worked out great. Very good bike (Giant TCR Aereo) , well kept, smooth gears, just like you would like it to be. Strongly recommend it.
A. B. O. E.normally i dont leave positive reviews.... and i should do that more often when i am happy with the service i get. Anyway, the people are cheap, professional, responsible, easy to deal with. they kept all the parts they replaced as i asked them. highly recommended!!!!
L. S.Went in for an MOT. Got the job done but despite specifically telling them not to do any extra work without calling me first they went ahead an did lots of extra work without my knowledge and charged me for it afterwards. Some of this stuff was deffinitely not necessary for an MOT e.g. replacing spare fuses - I keep a box of spare fuses anyway so didnt need these.
Obviously get through a lot of customers so dont expect great customer service either.
a. s.Excellent customer care with the highest level of service.
Highly recommended with knowledgable, friendly staff.
M. E.Absolutely fantastic. Had a finicky exhaust tip that needed to be replaced and they did it, on the spot, within an hour. Couldn't recommend them enough
A. K.Used twice for puncture repairs - Tiago, the hero, helped with both. What a great person to work with! Very customer friendly. Thank you guys.
F. P.Nice people who gave me the best news ever. My baby motorcycle from '94 passed the ULEZ test without any alterations. I'm so proud of her!😁 Thank you for the nice experience!
G. R.Excellent service. Binned my bike misjudging a camber and they were out two hours after I called to pick her up and take her in. All fixed and road-ready by the end of the day. I'll be back for my MOT and any other work I need done.
d. J.i have had brakes put on to my 125 moped from here after finding out everywhere else costs me more money and just had a 12v port put onto my moped for my sat nav and im so so happy with the job. Thank you . plus very friendly and helpful
G. F.Hidden place in behind the petrol station, this is a good place to get your bike fixed or mot'd while you wait. Knowledgeable staff, very capable.
B. W.These guys were great. Hired a couple of 125cc for a week with my mate last year and had a great time. Very helpful friendly bunch.
A. M.Is by far the best mechanic in central London! Honest and skilled been service my bikes here for the last 7 years.
a. t.Parking here is a big problem,consult your host in regards to parking
R. M.I've had to go there a few times for a puncture repair, they do it quick and professionally and even go beyond just the puncture repair. They even lubed and adjusted my chain tension at no extra cost.
D. P.Easy going place and helpful staff. Good customer service
P. H.Friendly and professional service. If you're a bit early for your appointment like I was, they'll fit you in sooner. Have a cuppa in the cafe next door and MOT is done while you wait. Also very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
S. C.Long standing customer of this garage from when they were in Shoreditch, the quality of the workmanship here is always great. Now in a more convenient location (at least for me), and more spacious too
r. r.Really helpful lads at Riverbank , when i was there someone told me i could get a certificate of conformity from the manufacturer kawasaki UK ,at no cost, and then email it to TFL, Then I would not need a test or cat to be fitted, Sorted saved me paying out anything
