I brought my Harley there to have both tires replaced. During the process of replacing my tires, they discovered that the neck bearings were loose. I told them to go ahead and take care of them as well. I had to work out of town the following day. They called to let me know my bike was ready, but I and didn't get back until 4:45 pm. Skinny's closes at 5 pm, but Brad waited for me so that I could pick up my Harley. They have outstanding customer service and I will definitely be bringing my bike back in the future.

I've used Skinny's for service and repairs on both of my bikes. I won't go anywhere else. Brad is a top notch, honest person. Even fessed up to a scratch on my bike that he didn't cause. I'll recommend Skinny's to anyone who needs work done on their bikes.Services: Tires, Brake service & repair, Oil changeServices: Tires, Brake service & repair, Oil change

My front tire developed a bubble n a friend said if I ever need to have anything done to my bike while I was in the Alexandria area to go to Skinnys cause they did all his work. It's a nice shop for motorcycles n the guys there are great people. Ofcourse most bikers are these days. The owner Skinny sold me a new tire n even though I don't let anyone work in my bikes Mike did a great job installing a new tire. Only problem I had with the whole thing was having to pay someone to do what I've always done myself so paying labor charges sucked but what can you do when a problem arises with your ride n your out of town. I highly recommend this shop!

You call get an appointment he gets you in, takes care of your problem quickly and efficiently. Prices are good and your bike doesn't set around for weeks or months to get repaired. Your back in the wind in no time. I have used him a number of times, form a big boar kit to just regular service maintenance. I would highly recommend him. Just stop in and visit with them and you can see for yourself the knowledge and experience his shop has.

I went there at the end of the day and took my front tire for my V-Strom to get mounted and balanced. Quoted $40 paid $40, done in a few minutes while I waited.The place was full, this helped me see that lots of folks trust them. They took care of me right away, showed me respect and even greased up my axle as a courtesy. They are quite a bit more reasonably priced then the other places in town and still do a great job.

These guys were awesome, the owner and mechanics. I was just passing through but urgently needed an oil change. Dropped in on short notice and they immediately started working on my unusual maxi scooter without hesitation.During the work they also provided useful technical information and finally their work rates were very reasonable. I was very happy with their professional service and left a happy customer. Thank you guys.Jay Walder, Montreal, Canada.

I went to Skinny's to have my bike tuned after I did some work to the engine. Brad had me in & out in about 2.5 hours. Bike runs great, and if recommend his shop to anyone in the area. They are always friendly and Brad is honest friendly person

I was stopped on the side of the road due to my chain coming off. Brad stopped and helped me get it to where I could get back to where I was going. Took the bike in to have them replace the chain. They did a great job. Everyone was very professional and friendly. Amazing service. I would recommend Skinny's to anyone.

Brought my bike for him to change the voltage regulator. Rode the bike home and on next day went on a ride. Ten minutes into the ride, I'm sitting at a railroad crossing waiting on a train to pass. Bike starts smoking, I look down and cover over the new regulator is melted and on fire. I sit at crossing and watch bike burn to crisp. If u use this "mechanic" make sure u have good insurance and not just liability like I did. He refunded the $300 that I paid for the repairs but would not replace the bike. Pos in my opinion. Zero stars would more accurately describe Skinny's but that wasn't an option.

Great place to have work on your bikes whether they are stock, custom, new or old. If you need tuning work done they have the only Dyno besides the HD shop

I had a small issue with my Screamin Eagle slip-ons, I drove up there and he took a bike off the rack and put mine on the rack and fixed it right then and there, at a more than fair price.

Best Indi shop in Alexandria, forget the Stealership, go to Skinnies for service and repairs by seasoned expert bike techs.

Owner has answered phone every time I have called. Has always answered questions and done what he said he would do. Certainly much better service than dealership!

You can go to Dannie Davis or Loewer if you love having the job done wrong for too much money. Brad Paul is a very experienced rider and mechanic on any motorcycle that uses gasoline.
