Scalia’s Cycle

I brought my 2003 Buell Blast to Scalia’s after it had been sitting in my garage for a couple months… the guys there took great care of me, keeping me up to date with what my bike needed (tires, etc) and were able to get the job done within a timely manner even though they seemed busy with a bunch of other bikes already. Now, $ 90/​hr isn’t the cheapest but I felt the care taken and service level rendered was well worth it. I recommend DMV riders to use this independent shop because as long as I am getting good customer service wherever I am at, I will return. I am pretty satisfied and they did deliver.
Thanks!

Quoted me 10 hours ($ 95 an hour) for a basic cam swap on a new harley softail. Realistically it’s a 4 – 5 hour job at every place I’ve ever had it down. Was hoping for an honest local Indy shop after hearing about the guys but they seem to be taking advantage of folks. 10 hours, what a joke!
10 hours was for cam swap labor only. No tune was included in that
Edit, just called quantico harley and they quoted 5.5 hours @ $ 85 hr. An Indy shop should never be double what the dealership is.
Calls round, the a void this place

I should have updated my review earlier.
I first was very happy with Scalia’s. I brought my bike several times last year. In the Spring, someone pushed my bike on its side and several things got broken. My insurance sent an expert, and Scalia’s started working on my bike. They fixed most of everything in a timely manner. They had to replace my handlebars. They didn’t replace them with the right ones, although the owner claimed they were exactly the same. They also didn’t «see» that the fork was crooked, and therefore this didn’t get fixed.
I had enough with them when the mechanic fixed my clutch cable. I had to stay at the shop while he was fixing it and they tried to charge me more for labor than the mechanic did work. I timed him!
So…while they are great because they accepted to work on my bike while the nearby HD dealership wouldn’t, I didn’t appreciate the fact that they tried to steal from me.

When i first walked in they directed me next door… i guess because im asian i should own a crotch rocket, but no i was at the right place. lol.
I normally wrench everything on my bike, but i had a trip to miami and knew that i wouldn’t have the patience to work on the bike after seeing all the bikes down in florida. So i had new wheels installed here. the wheels came mounted and balanced (balanced by dynabeads). I know everyone has their opinions about dyna beads and what not but i specifically stated that the wheels were mounted and balanced and only need to have the rotors/​pulley swapped and installed.
They are pretty friendly but they stated they «balanced» the wheels. It is impossible to balance a wheel that has dyna beads inside them. Maybe i shouldn’t say impossible but i just can’t see how it could be done.
THey added an obscene amount of weight to the wheel. I decided to pop them off when i got home, but htey caused a tremendous wobble at 40 – 50 mph.
Overall they have a very good shop rate… staff is pretty friendly and i would use them again but will have to be specific and concise.
