I am part of an FSAE racing team, and we needed to service an Ohlins Damper within a week. Solomoto got back to me quickly and was able to service our damper within 4 days. Super impressive work and great service. Thank you!

I’m so glad I brought in my 1971 Honda CB-750!! I’m the original owner and after years riding it (crossing the United States 3 times) and many more miles in between and a number of years NOT riding, it needed some professional care. Carlos’s understanding of the machine is only surpassed by his work ethic. He did a magnificent job of bringing ALL the bike’s systems back up to par. Instead of listing all the work and attention he spent on it the result is that I now have a new- 50 year old bike!! My dear old friend is back on the road- I almost feel 50 years younger too.

The shop came highly recommended by my friends. They had their vintage bikes as well as their sport bikes serviced by Carlos. I want to get an estimate to get my tires changed. I was expected a few day- maybe even a week, like other shops would do. Less than 24 hours later my tires were delivered and mounted on my Kawi. Their knowledge and their customer service was unbelievable. They not only made sure my tire was perfect, they even clean my bike and lubed the chain! These days it's very difficult to find a good, honest shop. Once again, thank you guys! See you soon!

Carlos @ Solomoto was a pleasure to work with. As a new BMW Airhead owner, he clearly outlined his work process before accepting the job (transmission rebuild, new tires, other miscellaneous) and routinely communicated with me throughout to ensure expectations were aligned for the end-product. He was very fair with me on pricing, especially when new minor issues appeared. I look forward to working with Solomoto in the future!

Recently had some work done by Carlos on my /5 airhead. The job ended up being slightly more than he initially quoted but Carlos did excellent work, communicated clearly as to why the job cost more and was willing to work around my schedule. I will be coming back next time I need work on my bike and would highly recommend this shop to anyone with a vintage BMW.

Can't say enough good things about this shop. Recently brought my bike there(first time) for a short list of items to be checked/repaired. when I dropped the bike off I knew it was in good hands. Carlos and Phil were friendly and helpful, and above all knowledgeable. There is a reason the shop is filled with beautiful motorcycles of all ages and various makes. This place has a great vibe and their work is top notch. By far not the closest option for me but well worth the trip.

Great shop. It is the only Ohlins Certified service shop around, had my 2012 Triumph Speed Triple R forks and shock serviced. Carlos was very easy to work with and very accommodating. They work on pretty much everything new and old and have a lot of very cool machines inside. I definitely recommend giving them a shot, you won't be disappointed, and they are reasonably priced.

Carlos and his staff of technicians are very detailed and excellent. Carlos aka the doctor and his staff will make sure you and your motorcycle get home safe to your family. Plus amazing shop and a great place to go talk about Motorcycle stuff and look at his collection. Thanks Carlos you guys the best ! SOLOMOTO 👍 …

If you have a vintage motorcycle or even if you don't but want personalized, attentive service, this is the place. I would not trust my vintage bike to anyone else but Carlos and the other guys at Solomoto. Carlos is very responsive and makes sure a repair is done right and with the right parts (event if they are difficult to source). He even picked up my bike on a day they were closed no questions asked. You can't get this type of service from a dealer. Plus most dealers don't know how to work on many of the vintage bikes or just cut corners. Highly recommend.

I recently bought a 1972 Triumph Tiger that was on consignment at Carlos's shop that he had serviced for years. I'm in San Diego so i had no way to physically check it out. Carlos was very attentive & patient with my requests for information . He took the time to send me additional pictures and video's of the bike running , answered all my questions in a timely manner and pointed out things on the bike that the pictures did not show . His Yelp reviews were very good and I called a couple bike shops in the area where I heard nothing but good things about his business. When the bike arrived and I rode it for the 1st time it was just as he described it . He's a stand up guy and I would highly recommend him .

I rode an hour to this shop on a whim to look at a motorcycle on Craig's List, and I am really glad I did, and not just because I ended up buying the bike. I discovered this hidden gem of a motorcycle shop, Solomoto. The owner, Carlos, projected a friendly, easygoing vibe from the get-go and the commitment to quality craftsmanship was readily apparent, from the condition of the premises and the attitude of the staff, to the array of bikes in the waiting areas and on the lifts. The customer bikes in for service ranged from normal daily rides to eye-poppingly cool exotics, from ancient to modern. The quality and condition of the rides told me that these weren't owned by uneducated or naive owners - these people are passionate about their bikes - and by inference I assume they must trust Carlos and staff implicitly. The bike I bought is a beautiful classic, 28 years old and in excellent condition, for sale by the original owner. On this transaction Solomoto was just acting as a sales agent - meaning they handled advertising, storing, and showing the bike until it sold, and they confirmed that they had no previous maintenance relationship with the owner. Everything went smoothly and it was a pleasure all around. I would feel confident getting service or repairs done here, but don't underestimate how useful it can be to have someone store and be able to show your motorcycle for sale. It can be seen during regular motorcycle shop hours, which Solomoto keeps as 9-6 Tuesday through Friday and 9:30 - 4 Saturday. If you have ever sold a motorcycle on Craig's List you know how much of a pain it can be dealing with all of the, um, personalities. It's also hard for legit buyers to arrange to view bikes with owners that work long hours, and it's frustrating for everyone when people don't show up or otherwise flake out. At the end of the process from what I saw it seemed like the owner appreciated Solomoto's work selling the bike, and I know that I sure did. I've bought a lot of motorcycles over the years, and the memory of this one feels like it will provide a warm glow for years to come. 5 Stars out of 5, would go back again!

I am very happy to have Carlos right around the corner when needed, from changing my dirt bike tires to adjusting my valves he has always been helpful professional and honest, if he cant help you, he'll steer you at the right direction. Plus you get a glimpse from the past with all the cool retro bikes hes got at the shop!

A jewel of a place. I was distracted just walking around the shop and looking over the memorabilia and the bikes in for service. I was provided an intelligent appraisal of my bike's problem and estimate (verbal and the cost was right on at pick up). Thank you Carlos and Phil. I recommend this shop to those who know or perhaps don't know what they need. You will be shown the proper path. I will be coming back with the other bikes of mine.

After purchasing a 1977 BMW R100S, I wanted to find a shop local to where I work in Greenwich for convenience since I keep the bike up there. Turns out there was a great shop for airhead's literally a mile away. I was blown away by the inventory of classic motorcycles they were working on(upon my first visit, there was an early 50's Vincent Black up on the lift). They went through a detailed top to bottom maintenance checklist on my bike that left me feeling secure in my ride. These guys are professional, really know what they are doing, and take the time to do a quality job. Feel super fortunate that there is a truly independent and local shop that I can trust. There is no other place like this in Westchester or Fairfield.

Came for a quick tire change after a nail puncture and I'm quite positive I won't be going anywhere else for bike work again. The older vintage bike is definitely a speciality here and restorations are all over the shop in all sorts of conditions, very fun to see so many different older bikes. The best part about the experience was I was able to get a small job done without all the nonsense of a certain larger shop in Stamford. I rode up, and the bike was sorted and could ride away feeling stress free, which is what a simple fix should be, but sadly most shops will try to nickle and dime you for this sort of job. That is difinitely not the attitude here, as far from it as possible actually! So if you need any work on your bike done and want it done by someone that actually cares that it's being done correctly, bring it here. You will not be dissapointed.

Carlos is a great guy. This is the coolest Moto shop I've ever been to. It's old school and they do great work. Get your bike worked on here just to take a peak at all of the beautiful machines hiding inside.

Took my 2011 Honda Ruckus in for a 2,500 mile checkup. Up until that point, I'd just kept air in the tires and changed the oil once per the manuals instructions. Had a few things that needed to be fixed, and I definitely found the right place to go at Solomoto. They tightened my brakes which I didn't even realize how loose they had come over the last 2 years, major improvement..They also replaced the screws covering the heat shield (which I forgot to put on the list when I dropped it off), and honestly, the Ruckus is riding like brand new. Carlos and Andy gave me a detailed explanation of the work they did afterwards, which was professional and appreciated. Definitely will be going back to these guys if I need any other work done...

Just picked up my bike today and all the good reviews you read about these guys are true! They know their bikes inside and out, they do a fantastic job at a fair price and they treat their customers fairly and with respect. A leap above other bike shops I've been to... I'll be back!

Brandon Baja

Changed a tire for my dirt bike, did it while I stood there, took no time at all. Great level of expertise and I will be going there from now on. Very reasonable prices. Prices are Way lower than other motocross shops.

Prakash Srinivasan

Great shop with a local feel! They have a small, friendly team and they're located a few minutes' walk away from the Port Chester MTA station and other bus lines. I ride a V Star 650 as an everything motorcycle - commuter, city, some interstate travel. When the time came, I dropped it off for service in the morning and picked it up that afternoon. I even had a goofy roadside incident and they came right over with a van! Overall, I highly recommend them - timely, professional and transparent way of doing things. In the NYC metro area there aren't many small business motorcycle shops around, just large dealerships with whom I'd rather not... deal (exceptions exist). I'm glad these guys setup shop!

Nunya B

I had a good experience here. Brought my bike in for regular service and enjoyed chatting with Carlos. Really cool bikes around the shop that day too.

Cyril de Valry

Carlos is a professional, ready to bend backwards for his regulars. Great quality service. Low profile shop with low profile team but very knowledgeable and very effective, especially for the older motorcycles.

J Carr

Needed tires mounted over memorial day weekend. Not only were they the only shop that was willing to do it same day. Very nice group guys they did it with in an hour for a reasonable price. Allowing me to get out and ride for over the weekend.

Anthony Ianni

Carlos took my Ducati in right away! Knowledgable, Friendly, Fast and Inexpensive is what I was looking for and that's exactly what I got as soon as I rolled up to the shop. Great experience and fast . They get you in and out . Nice shop too!!! I highly recommend SOLOMOTO.👍👍👍👍👍 …

Gabriel Harvey

These guys are absolutely fantastic. I bought a beat up Vespa on craigslist, they tuned it up very nicely and made it ride-able right away. Great to work with on all accounts!
