What to ask a repair shop in St. Paul, MN

  • Do you work on my make and year? A shop that mostly sees late-model Japanese bikes may not want a 1978 twin, and it is better to hear that on the phone than at the counter.
  • Will you mount tires I bring in, and what does that cost? Many shops will, some will not, and the ones that do usually charge more per tire than for rubber they sold you.
  • What is the diagnostic fee, and does it come off the repair if I go ahead? Ask before the bike is on the lift.
  • Appointment or walk-in, and what is the turnaround right now? In season a good shop can be two or three weeks out.
  • Can you collect a bike that will not run, or do I need to arrange a tow? Some service shops have a trailer; most do not.

Riding season here has a hard stop. Before the bike sits, fill the tank and add stabilizer, put the battery on a tender, and get the ethanol out of the carbs if it has them. The spring rush at every shop starts the first warm weekend, so book the pre-season service in late winter, not April.
