University Scoots

Im writing this review 15 minutes after i left the shop stuck on the side of the road. They dont even deserve 1 star.
I went in for an oil leak and a tune up. I didnt know where the leak was from and i dont know how to tune a moped. he said «after we repair the leak we can tune your moped, but see how you like it first» i said «ok makes sense»
I came back the next day. He kept telling me this model is a money pit, what was i thinking? why did i choose this moped. He made me feel really stupid and it took a lot for me to keep my composure. Without my permission he did about 10 different things. He said «i know youre on a budget but i changed what was necessary» about half of those werent necessary. But ok whatever, «can i test drive it?» It immediatly started making grinding noises and he said «thats werid, let me take care of that» so I drove it around the block i said «it drives the same so i still need that tuning, but im late for work so i gotta go.» The moped drive 5mph and im not pulling the gas. I have to hold my brakes at a stop light or itll keep going, and i can smell something burning. less then 5 minutes later the moped is backfiring and slowing down, i have no choice but to pull over. i tried to go again, couple minutes later it backfires like crazy and slowed down so i had to pull over. I called them 3 times, no answer. I had to ditch the moped cause i couldnt drive it in that condition.
$ 200 later, and left with a moped in even worse shape then i brought it there. Such a bad experience

My boyfriend had found this place months ago for his moped and recommended this shop for mine. Thank you Chastin for taking in my moped for a small check up! Thank you JP for telling me the difference between my moped’s engine and other mopeds for tune ups! Great service, communication, and timing :)

JP is a great moped repairman. He’s honest, reliable, and friendly. I bought my moped from him three years ago and I’ve taken it to him many times since for servicing (for normal wear and tear, the moped is great quality). He’s never failed to get my moped back to me on the same day, and the price of servicing is quite reasonable.
My trusty moped is in great shape after three years, thanks to him. And his dog is really cute, so of course that’s a plus.
I would absolutely advise anyone to go to him for all your moped needs.

J.P.‘s is a very reputable repair shop that worked on my SYM Jet EuroX which is a hard to repair limited edition moped and they got the job done right. Thank you J.P.‘s.

Also known as University mopeds, this place is tucked behind tropics and the Greek restaurant on University ave near campus. Bought a used moped from a friend and came here when it crapped out and started having problems.
Service is affordable I paid 94 for a carb clean, replaced air box, horn fix and oil. Had the thing running smoothly. JP is really helpful but may put you off at first because he is a pretty fast talker. I quickly realized it wasn’t offensive or sketchy but probably just how he operates. He is more than happy to explain to you exactly what went wrong and to give you tips and recommendations.
Good service all around.

JP is amazing. I take it to him everytime I I have moped problems. Him and his staff know what they’re talking about and they do it fast. Really fast. He’s really nice and always gives me a fair price. Cheap and reasonable! He will also tell you the straight up truth about what’s happening with your bike. I’ve never written a Unilocal review before today, and I am just because they deserve the credit!

My husband wanted to upgrade his engine. The guy told him he had Italian parts he would upgrade to… my husband is Japanese and his English isn’t that good but he’s not stupid… the guy tried to put in parts from Taiwan, tell him it’s Italian and charge him the price for Italian. My husband was ready to go ahead and get it done, but when he noticed and pointed out that the parts were from Taiwan, not Italy, the guy tried to backstep and say he had said the wrong thing, how would a professional mix up Taiwan and Italian parts?
Shame because he has such good reviews and he has been good to us so far, but I guess he thought he would try to pull a fast one for some quick cash!

JP is the best moped repair shop. Same day pick-​up same day repair. He’s super knowledgeable and friendly. If you want honest service and to not overpay go see JP.

JP is simply awesome!!! He picked up my moped the day i called & actually picked it up on school street after hours! It had been stolen (lucky cops got it back) & «jacked up» with a torn front panel. I thought i would have to pay more than its worth but JP said i didn’t need new panel as he could drill & zip tie it back on! Also, he said the ignition would be too much to replace & it still works fine. He had it fixed the next day & said it was out of oil & thats why it died when started. I had already asked for an oil change so he did that of course & fixed the panel (looks great too!)! I expected to pay a few hundred bucks but he said that was all i needed (oil)! Final bill: $ 50!!! $ 20 for pick up/​tow & $ 30 for oil change! OMG! Unreal! I cant thank him enough! He was super nice also & helpful & so very honest!!! I know nothing about mopeds or servicing & seriously would’ve paid $ 300! He deserves 10 stars! Mahalo JP!!!

Okay, so I bought my moped from MopedsPlus (they are great too!) but called to get something looked at and they told me their next available appointment wouldn’t be for two weeks –_​_​– I called JP and he was super helpful, I only had my moped for a year and he was super helpful over the phone answering all my (rookie) questions without getting all huffy with me. He said to just drop it off and he will get to it when he has a chance (he was super busy because of the storms), they were awesome he got it back to me the day after I dropped it off. The service there was amazing, and he didn’t talk down to you about whatever your situation was. Super genuine and nice people I would pick going here than others. Honestly if he charged me more than another place would I would probably still go to him just because of the great customer service. He didn’t of course, he was super chill, called to give me a quote and said that if he could find a used one that is in good condition he would use that to help with the cost. His whole staff is super nice, they checked my tires and even did some other stuff (that I of course don’t remember the name of) just cause. He is a little hidden but super close to UH that if you get stalled you can literally just roll your moped over!!! Customer service for me is everything so they definitely locked me down as a customer! Super grateful and blessed I found them!!!

Just bought a moped for my daughter who is attending UH and were so so lucky to find JP. He gave her lessons, safety first oriented which I appreciated, assured us he would always be here for any issue she has. Plus, his prices are very fair! Highly recommend.

I have been screwed over by about 3 moped businesses. Everything from a bike that was in and out of the shop 12 times over 8 months, to selling me a shit bike and charging me way too much for a tow, to warranties that certainly don’t include what you think they would. I started going to JP about 2 years ago because I was COMPLETELY fed up. He has been a godsend.
JP is three things: a) fair, b) honest, c) reasonable in price, and d) a damn good mechanic. He has fixed things for less that what others didn’t even know how to fix. I can’t believe he doesn’t have more reviews. Go to him, and while you wait you can play with his adorable English bulldog :)

JP is fantastic, he’s understanding of the fact that moped riders are terrible to their mopeds. I went to him through the recommendation of one of my friends who go to him too. He has fixed all the minor damages that I have unintentionally inflicted to my little Taotao. He also only charges you for the parts. The prices are reasonable, the work is done fast and if he doesn’t have the part or is too busy that day to accommodate you he refers you to other reliable mechanics. JP is awesome and I’ll be bring my moped over here every time it needs something done.

JP deserves all the stars in the universe. This guy is a lifesaver and he has my utmost trust. I’m the type of person that freaks out easily especially when it comes to problems regarding motor vehicles, of which I know nothing about whatsoever. But the thing is, I don’t ever freak out about problems with my moped. Why? Because I can just call up JP and he’ll tell me to bring it by and I do and I go eat lunch or whatever for about 45 minutes, I come back and the moped is perfect again! It’s one of the most awesome feelings in the world to trust someone like that and know they’re not going to take advantage of it. JP loves what he does, is crazy knowledgeable and is also super approachable and that’s when you know someone is a professional.
Thanks for everything JP!

All these positive reviews accurately report the great service provided by JP. He takes time to give you advice and honest solutions, never up selling or acting like a salesman. His employees have also always been very much the same. His little dog Yuki is also the cutest store mascot. Don’t hesitate to come here on a budget or knowing little to nothing about mopeds JP will help you out.

I am terrible with my moped and I mistreat it so much that I’m pretty sure I’m a regular here. JP can see the pain in my eyes as I wheel my moped up to the store.
Him and his crew are fast and efficient. For the last few times, if I bring my moped in the late afternoon they will usually have it done before they close up shop for the day.
Prices are fair and he’s willing to find cheaper options for you.

This is the second time I had to take my Bravo Sky 50 2 Stoke moped in for repairs. I got great service and the turn around time is same or next day. They gave the standard tune up and then checked out the rest of the bike fixing all the other things they noticed. Its nice to know that these guys go above and beyond in their repairs and are keeping me safe on the road. Their prices are very fair and these guys all know exactly what they are talking about. This will be the only place I go to for tune ups and repairs from now on.
Bottom line: If you need work done and you want it done right, then head to J, P.‘s Moped Shop.

Super fast… They got my moped done in a day and they were nice and he gave me a quote and told me what was included. My moped is working great and I’m really happy with the fast easy service!!!

JP is an awesome, honest guy. His work is solid, and he’s real with you. He won’t try to sell you on things you don’t need. Prices are super fair. And the cherry on top? He’s FAST.
My boyfriend and I have been going to JP for all our moped repairs for 3 years now. We can’t recommend him highly enough!!!

Solid service! JP will take care of you! I first came in for an oil change a few months ago and JP took it upon himself to also tighten up my brakes and throw in a new spark plug for me. Treat the customers well and give them good service and they will come back. I did.
