Always friendly and professional.I purchased a PCX 150 and my Rebel 1100 DCT from Brian and Kathleen. I've been coming to them for years for regular maintenance and can only say good things. Highly recommend!

I have never had a bad experience coming to this dealership for parts or for purchasing a motorcycle. The staff here actually cares about the product and are all avid riders themselves. The best part of my experience here is sometimes there are able to find solutions for me Without me even having to purchase something from them. That s what a family owned shop value is and Wyatt holds so strong in a society where nobody really cares about the customer.

Many thanks to my friends at Honda of Glendale Motorcycles, especially Brian, your go-to bike guy. Bought an '08 Gold Wing recently and was looking for a place to give it a good look through as well as flush the fluids, as it had lots of miles from the previous owner.This humble place was communicative, transparent, reasonable, and thorough with their work. Brian got the job done for exactly what I was hoping to spend - without haggling - and my bike is running as smooth as ever, even 100 miles down the line.This is my 6th bike over 12+ years of riding, my 3rd Honda, and I assure you I have been to many service shops, this place was worth the drive from Hollywood. Thanks again y'all!

New rider with my first bike and I took it here Saturday morning to get some help to install some aftermarket frame sliders, GPS tracker, and fender eliminator. NO PROBLEM AT ALL for the pros who work here. Got it back the same day and even received some lifeprotips for the bike and for me as a new rider from Brian. Absolute top notch service and will definitely be my no. 1 spot for any service in the future.

For years, I ve been taking my CB750F here for service because Brian is super knowledgeable about these old Hondas, and he does great work. He s also honest and doesn t try to upsell you just to make a quick buck. Not to mention quick turnaround times. Last time I brought my bike in, he told me he was swamped with jobs and it would take two weeks. It ended up being finished in one week. Anyways, great shop, and I couldn t recommend them more.

I've had nothing but bad experiences getting service done at dealers, car or motorcycle, and have opted to get my stuff done at independent shops. Honda of Glendale is the one dealer exception.I used to take my bike to an independent shop that had good people and did solid work but started to shift here for service when they mounted a tire for me at a lower price than my previous shop would.Since then I've taken my motorcycles here for all types of routine maintenance like from fluids to valves, all done at very fair prices, better than my previous shop would charge. Brian is an excellent, knowledgeable mechanic. He won't fluff you up but he'll treat you and your bike right. Once I had a broken clutch lever and he replaced it for free, only charging me for the new lever.I've bought oil, filters, and other various parts here for the few mechanical jobs I'm willing to do by myself and they've had everything I've needed on hand at fair prices as well. Bigger consumables like batteries and tires, however, are sold at market price and I've usually been able to find better prices for those shopping around online.Funny enough, I was looking for a tire that is backordered everywhere (old bike, weird size). I went to my old shop to see if they could find it. They couldn't find it either and told me to ask Brian at Honda of Glendale. I said they couldn't find one in stock either, after which they told me if Brian can't find it, no one can.

I ve been here for service a couple of times, Brian the owner will always do his best to help you out. He can do anything from just a simple oil change, to figuring out catastrophic failure. Although he s been there for 40 years, the best way I can describe this place is corporate professionalism, with a mom and papa feel . Everybody there is willing to help you. If you re having any issues, I highly recommend you Brian, he ll help you out.

As a new rider I was pretty nervous and hesitant while shopping for a bike. I was really put at ease by the entire staff at Honda of Glendale, and especially by Brian, who was incredibly patient, friendly, informative and helpful while I came back multiple times, asked a thousand questions, hemmed and hawed, and was not sure what I wanted for a long time. Brian gave me zero pressure, zero "upsell", only excellent, patient advice -- and a GREAT price on a new bike, with much less dealer fees than any other places I was looking at. When I finally purchased a bike, I didn't feel safe riding it home through rush-hour traffic -- so Brian agreed he would deliver it to my home on his flatbed the next morning for an incredibly reasonable fee. Everything about my experience here was excellent. Brian also gave me several very welcome riding tips (lane position, etc) that I still think about every time I take a ride.

If you own a Honda motorcycle, this is the ONLY spot to take your machine. The folks here know their stuff and are happy to help you out. Brian runs the service department and he s enthusiastic as well as he is knowledgeable but they re BUSY here. Don t expect to be able to chat for half an hour. That might explain some of the more negative reviews about this place

They always do perfect repairs. Took my Sabre here a couple of times and the prices are very reasonable, the repair work is consistently great and done quickly. Never any follow-up issues. Other shops fix one thing, then break another. Also, brought in my Bike today because the foot-shifter was loose and the dude helped me out on spot and fixed it for free in 5min. Highly recommended.

Brian is an amazing tech, always does the best work on my bike and answers all my dumb questions I have being a first time rider. I have learned so much from him and he always keeps the best interest for my bike in mind.

Brian and his team at Honda of Glendale are honest, reliable and the prices are absolutely fair.As a daily rider I have to be able to trust my machine and one of the most important ways to do that is through professional maintenance.When I have any work done here I know it will be done right the first time.Excellent quality of service, no BS and fair prices. Couldn't ask for better mechanics.

I bought my second bike from here in 2018 after taking 7 years off riding. From purchase, to returning for maintenance every few months, to having my bike stolen and sent here for repairs, this place and the family that run it are top notch.I rarely write google reviews, but for a place where they are consistently friendly and courteous without a hiccup, I think they deserve one. Brian has really honed his craft to pure perfection and I would look nowhere else for the best advice.

I brought my '98 Valkyrie in for valve stem replacement on the front wheel. Brian the mechanic also noticed that the back one was bad and was happy to replace it even though I arrived within two hours of their closing time. He also noticed a shifter seal leaking oil and called me to see if I wanted him to change it. Again, he could have had me come back another day but since I live about 60 miles away he completed that repair as well. The prices were fair and I am beyond happy with the service and the way I was treated. I will definitely make the drive there anytime I need repairs on any of my other Hondas. Thank you Brian!

Brian does a bang up job. I feel he's honest and certainly a darn good mechanic. I do a lot of my own work (stemming from seeing shoddy work and poor service at other places.) My discussions with Brian about the bike are spot on and he is a straight talker. Some things cost more because they are more complicated, and I understand that. He's also done some troubleshooting and corrections that would have taken me a long time to figure out that has saved me a bundle. I go to this shop because I trust them and they do good work. They don't recommend things I don't need to do and do a mechanically great job whenthey do. The only issue I have now is that the shop is now getting busy because of good reviews...but I am happy to give credit where it is deserved. Thanks Brian.

EXCELLENT honda mechanics. They charge me, and honesty it seems fine. But then i come from driving cars - so everything on a bike is cheap to me. One thing... they always want me to drop off my bike - because they are always backed up.

I brought my Honda Grom in for its first service and received great support from Brian and the staff at Honda of Glendale. I've been to many shops and the staff at this place felt honest and down to earth. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced when it comes to Honda bikes and riding in general. I would definitely come back for future service.

The folks at Honda of Glendale provide some of the very best customer service I've ever experienced. I took my 2014 Honda CTX700N for its 8K mile check-up, and Luis (front counter) and Brian (mechanic) took great care of me and my bike. This is the first time I've had my bike serviced since I bought it used at 6.7K miles, and Brian's the only mechanic I'm taking it back to he's got it running better than I've ever felt it run. The prices are reasonable and competitive, and their work is top-notch. I highly recommend Honda of Glendale for your Honda bike's needs!

I love this place, and they've been around for a while.If you're considering getting a bike or scooter (or servicing one), I highly recommend them.What with everything going on in the world, their stock (as of time of writing) might be spotty, but just talk to them.

Brian the "owner" is a complete joke. He has absolutely no customer service skills and plays games. I called him multiple times over the last two months and asked if I could put a deposit down on a new bike. He informs me the bikes aren't in yet and he will call me as soon as he gets any information. I have called and left my info with Brian personally and today I was informed that they sold the bike to someone else less than two weeks ago and they won't be getting any more in. His lackadaisical attitude towards a $4,000 transaction is appalling. I have shopped at this location for years for everything from spark plugs to tires and they have lost a loyal customer today.You should be a little more humble and apologetic and less argumentative with prospective clients, especially in this market.

Nice place compared to some other motorcycle dealers in the area. Never got pushy during the sales process and pretty straight forward with maintenance. I called Brian telling him my bike felt "off" since I brought it in last and he told me to swing by so he could ride it and take a look. Pointed out my chain tensioner was off and adjusted it for me in a few minutes, and I was on my way. Nice people!

Unprofessional owner, took 2 bikes for service. One needed a valve adjustment and the other one didn t. The owner which is also the mechanic is in a rush all the time, he is not focused on the instructions you will tell him.. as a result he ended up doing the valve adjustment on the bike that did not need it and charged me for it.Also the common scam that a lot of places do including this one is to sneakily damage the innertube And tell you that it wasn t their fault. The bike was at their premises when it got a flat tire it was perfectly fine when I brought it in. Ended up changing it and charging me for it without even a discount.Never taking my bikes over there again with dealerships you re either very happy with the service or very unsatisfied and unfortunately with Honda of Glendale has been the worst experience for me. Their tuneup he s not good cleaning and lubing the chain a 10 year old would have done a better job.

BEST SERVICE IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY!!!Brian is the best. He listens, and his his explanations are thorough and easy to understand. Brian knows everything there is to know about Honda Motorcycles. A 5 minute talk with Brian completely restored my faith in Honda Motorcycle. My first was a 1989 Hurricane in 1994.My 2014 Honda CB500X was losing oil, and the color looked off, at just under 5000mi. Temple City Powersports, where I purchased the bike, had no explanation for the symptoms and were happy to charge me $98 to check for leaks. If they did not find any, I would owe $98 for them to tell me what I already knew; it's not leaking.Brian explained why I was losing oil and that the color was nothing to worry about. It's only 500cc, and riding it at 6-7k rpm on the freeway, at 75-80mph will cause some oil loss. I happily paid $70 for an oil change, because I knew it was in good hands.Bert's Mega Mall tried to charge me for a Valve Clearance Adjustment at the first 600mi service. Over $200 more than the proper service should cost. They did not check to see that the Maintenance Schedule has changed, but I would have paid for their oversight.Honda of Glendale has good prices for their new bikes. You can't go wrong here, if you own a Honda motorcycle.

I should have brought my bike here first! I recently purchashed an 87 Honda XL600R . Ran great for 50 miles then ignition system failed. I replaced nearly every component down to the pulse generator which happened to be the culprit. Brian checked out the old one for free and that's where the problem was. Brian and Luis always took time to answer questions and were fair and upfront about any work estimates. Highly recommend Honda of Glendale! Thank you!
