Moto Tecnica

Polo is incredibly helpful and the shop is fantastic. He takes time to answer questions I have, gives advice on where to find things when he doesn’t have them available, and is just full on awesome. Love coming here. Prices are great too! Highly recommended. He also makes custom parts in house which is unique among the places I’ve seen around LA and will come in super handy for me as my build continues.

I just purchased my motorcycle and let me tell you this is definitely the place to take your bike. Polo is super helpful, makes you feel at home right away, and takes away any of the «uneasy» feeling you have as a new rider.
Prices are very good and reasonable
Service top notch
Honest.

After experiencing stalling issues, I came to Moto Tecnica, based on the positive reviews. I’m a new rider and definitely NOT a mechanic, so I was looking for a place that would just be honest and not try to rip me off. I rolled up and Polo quickly informed me that I just needed a full tune up. One of the mechanics had my bike running great in 2 hours, for $ 200. All in all, it was a very pleasant — and transparent — process. My bike’s running great, and I will be a loyal customer from now on. PS — Ask Polo about his 13,000 mile Pan-​American moto adventure.

Competitive prices on service and parts.
Been here many times, never had a problem.
Great staff and service.

Well this shop is a solid 5 Stars based on two or three more visits and that won’t change unless they swap my bike for a skateboard one day and hope I don’t notice.
No but seriously, recently had a tail tidy put on my FZ6 with new LED turn signals and they did an outstanding job. Yesterday I had a tune up service which included all sorts of things and a new battery installed and they even cleaned my bike! Which was nice of them. But anyway I have had my bike for about 18 months and 12,000 miles, it now has 18,000 total miles, and OMG… after these guys got done it runs smoother, faster, and better then ever. I thought it couldn’t get any better and just took it in because i knew it was due, but not needed. Although experiencing a minor start and stall issue which motivated me to take it in asap. And I tell you the bike was in at 8:00am, out at 11:00am, and is somewhat transformed. Especially above 8,000rpm in its powerband where it is just ripping it up, but still nice and smooth. Thanks Moto Tecnica!
You will deal with owner Polo here and he is a real pro and good friend of all things motorcycle related. He will personally oversee the work done on your bike and make sure all is done right and proper, and even throw a wrench on it himself. He, his staff, and his shop are first rate and they work on everything from japanese to Harley, Triumph and custom bikes. New, old, vintage, it doesn’t matter! Saw my first KTM 390 here yesterday and snapped some pics. That alone was worth the trip in! Cute ‘lil bike, that is.
Good service, good guys, good shop, and good tacos across the street. What more do you want???

I love getting my bike services here. Polo is such an awesome guy to do business with. He knows his stuff and does his best to getting your bike back into riding shape.
Price for his services are more than reasonable & he throws in free chain cleaning + lube!
Completely happy with the service I get from Moto Tecnica. The ONLY suggestion I have is being able to order parts to the store if a particular part needs replacing. Other than that I love coming here.

The only reason I did not give this place a 5 star is because I have only been here once. However, my first time experience is without a doubt 5star. (CBR 600rr 2007)
Today was my first time going to this shop after months of searching for a reliable shop that was close to where I live. Yes, at first I was nervous, even with all the good Unilocal reviews because you honestly never know.
I had a major tune-​up done which included: valve adjustment, throttle sync, brake fluid change, oil change w filter, air flilter, spark plugs, chain and major alignment adjustments, compression test, along with an on point suspension adjustment to my weight which made a workd of a difference, and a bunch of other stuff I cannot recall atm, but if you call and ask, Polo will list out what you want or need to know. *It only took them about 4 to 5 hrs for this job. (make an apointment for any major service; at least I did). Before coming here I had 4 different quotes from old shops I used to go to saying it would take them 4 days on average for this type of service and $ 200 more than what I had paid here at Moto Tecnica. On top of that, those places were goign to charge me for parts as well…
Things that will make this shop my go-​to for any type of maintenance I cannot do or have the tools to do;
Service, Knowledge, No bullshitting, Attentiveness, Great Attitude, their passion, and most of all their prices (have been to 5 different shops, this is the only one that has given me a fair price for parts and service).
All in all, very very very happy customer. If you are looking for a shop that will get things done no bs with fair pricing, this is the place you call.

Great shop! Great Price! and most importantly Great Customer Service.

My favorite thing about going to Polo & Moto Tecnica is knowing I’m going to have my bike fixed once and done right, and that I will leave with a better version of the bike than the one I brought in. For the small things, Polo and crew are on top of it, often getting the bike finished just hours later. For the more in-​depth repairs, Polo discusses the possibilities and shares recommendations. Countless racing trophies earned by Polo himself that grace the rafters in the storefront lend themselves to the many years of performance riding,
The prices are right, the work gets done & the bike comes out with the original repair + little things, like the correct fluid levels if they were a bit low. I’ve never been disappointed & again, I always leave with a better version of my bike than the one I brought in and for that reason, Moto Tecnica is THE #1 shop in LA. Thanks Polo.

I never log on to give a review but I just have to for them, not only did they fix my bike on my deadline but they took care of it as if it was there own. They hole crew there is kind and knowledgeable. They made my triumph speed triple run so good it’s like a different bike!

This place is great! I took my motorcycle today to get a full tune up. It ran so beautiful today. I’ve been coming here for ten years with my friends. Thier service is top notch at a fair price. Polo the owner knows motorcycles very well and will inspect your bike right off the bat like some sort of Moto doctor. He’s honest and won’t try and sell you crap and services you don’t need.

This is the BEST motorcycle repair shop in LA. Polo treats every new person who comes in like a great friend. The prices are always fair and I always end up being cut deals. Most work is done in under an hour — usually I won’t even leave the shop, just have a chat and before I know it my bike is all ready.
All my friends that ride come here too. Trust me and become a regular

Got a oil change here and was left with leaking oil filter. They are not professional with it what so ever. They will help you with a quick cheap fix but it won’t go a long way, hey nothing against you Polo because your a cool dude but the service and the result that I get from your shop sucks bro. Step it up man, until then I’m going else where even if it’s more expensive at least they get the job done right!

This is a great place! I came here to change rear tire, but Polo advices me to change chain and front brake. They fixed right away to take 1 hour.
Prices are great too.
I come back here again and again.
This is the greatest place!
Thank you for your kindness.
You make my day!

I love this place!
Just got my 2014 Bonneville back from getting it serviced today and couldn’t be happier. I called the shop in the AM to see if I can get my 500 mile service done and Polo said to just come on by… bara bing bara bang… I was in and out in a jiffy! The gentlemen here are fabulous, proficient and honest. Polo explained everything that was done to my bike thoroughly and I feel very confident and safe to say that my motorcycle got the best service possible. I highly recommend Moto Tecnica, I won’t go anywhere else!

I got a Brand New Bike and i when here just for an Oil change. I got a Oil Bath on my bike. they spilled Oil on the motor and wipe it. when i picked up the bike i did not notice their mess until i rode it and the engine got hot the oil smeared all over inside the fairing and splatted all over the exhaust Pipe. Also i notice they wiped the oil from the fairing. i painted my pairing with PlastiDip and now i have to repaint them because of this. and it was made very cleared that please treat the fairing with care is not normal paint.
I always go here for service but is not the first time they messed up something but i always let it slide… but this time they really got me mad.

Great shop Polo is the Man… He really knows his stuff… Thanks again… I’ll be soon.

Polo was super cool and gave us all kinds of info/​advice about a bike my girlfriend had.
It had been stored for 12 yrs and we didn’t know anything about it.
Turns out its kind of a rare and finicky 2 stroke bike (Aprilia RS50).
He gave us honest advice about how hard the bike would be to maintain over the years for her (she’s never ridden before). He told us it wasn’t a good beginner bike.
When we where thinking of just selling it he told us not to have him work on it all. Meaning he wouldn’t have made any money.
We ended up keeping it and he got it running in half a day! Mostly he was just really great helping teach us about our own bike and not trying to rush us.

Came in here for a bar end and ended up buying some other supplies from the very helpful staff. I asked a few questions about my bike and the guy was more than willing to offer several solutions without being sold for parts or a service appointment. I was in and out within 5 minutes with oil and a filter I needed.
Will definitely come back for anything else I need.

Great shop, so glad to find it. Polo is a legitimate rider with tons of stories to share, and the expertise that comes with experience from not only being a rider but also a mechanic.
Took care of some basic suspension needs, of which tuning is an art form Polo knows well that goes far beyond just mechanical knowledge.
