I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Paul from Moto Space Garage and it was amazing! I have a Triumph Scrambler, which was missing a horn, needed an oil change and a general check-up before state inspection.I am a TOTAL BEGINNER with bikes and barely have any experience working on them at all. Paul was super nice to explain, teach and show how things work. If you are totally new to working on bikes, this is THE SPOT to go to learn more. The shop is clean, tools are quality and Paul's knowledge is top-notch. All my questions were answered and the to-do list from the bike were all completed. Paul is not taking any shortcuts and is showing how to do things the right way with an eye for detail. You will learn a lot during your time there and have a good time.I cant wait to be back! Moto Space Garage my highest recommendations!Services: Electrical repair, Oil change

I took my bike in for a routine oil change, turns out I didn t even need one and I was educated on other maintenance that would need to be performed eventually by the owner, Paul. Paul s a easy-going guy with all the tools and knowledge you ll need to tackle a project on your bike. There s lift spaces for 3 bikes in the shop. Everything was organized and clean. Great spot for anyone that is willing to learn about and work on their bikes themselves.

This is a great way to work on your motorcycle! Unlike a conventional shop (with $100/hr labor charges), you'll learn how to wrench on your own motorcycle. I've done some basic work such as oil changes and changing tires, to fork & carb rebuilds and new chain/sprocket installs, all the way up to engine swaps and (nearly) bare frame rebuilds! The owner has a standard day job, so definitely contact them to make an appointment, but their schedule is very accommodating outside of the standard business hours when we'd be working on our bikes anyway.

Moto Space Garage is heaven on earth for motorcyclists. If you need a place to work on your bike but don t have the space, you need to come by here. Even if I did have a space to work, I would still come here. Paul has the place stocked to the gills with every tool you ll need, and more. Definitely will be returning.

Paul's 4-hour class on maintenance was excellent! Also he did a superb job performing an oil change and also instructing how to do so on my own.I highly, highly recommend signing up and attending the course. He is cordial and a great teacher; by the end you will feel empowered and educated in tackling your bike's service needs.I am definitely coming back to this place for all of my motorcycle maintenance and additional classes. You will end up saving a lot of money vs. a dealership or another mechanic since he has the proper DIY setup and quality tools and his vast knowledge in case you have questions.Service: Oil change

Ok this has been long overdue. I ll try to keep it as straight to the point as much as I can. With that said, Ladies and Gents, MotoSpace Garage is literally THE ONLY PLACE to go too in the entirety of Houston. I ve seen some good mechanics in Houston, I ve seen a LOT of bad ones also. The good ones are usually full, so on top of waiting for an opening, there s also the wait time on the bike itself. The bad ones you don t know their bad until after dumping a s#%t load of unnecessary spending and your bike still don t work!Quick story of how I stumbled unto Paul s place. After having some work done on my bike (99 Kawasaki zrx1100) actually twice, first time, it went for a carb rebuild and tune, new radiator hoses, engine compression check, new cylinder head cover, clutch and brake cables check etc. picked it up was told some things to change soon but overall everything should be ok. Rode it, 10 mins in, clutch felt funny then mins later out the clutch went while on the highway. Called the guy and I had it towed back. Bout day passed was told needed new clutch and to change chain and sprocket also. Ok. Bout a week and half passed I contacted and they said would be ready soon. Come day of, went to pick it up the second time, was told your gonna love it, like a new bike. Test rode for a little, I noticed throttle was diff feel, asked how come the throttle lever doesn t snap back but it goes back slowly, was told because it s new so cables getting used to it. Cruiser bikes have levers like that. I don t know any better so ok. Rode it back home, was great until I got to the traffic light and the bike was overheating. Called the guy he said bring it back we ll sort it out. (Still hopeful) next morning the bike won t start.....would crank but will not start. I snapped inside, that was the last straw. I just wanted to ride and it s literally November already.So I combed the entirety of Houston looking and feeling out mechanics. Some seemed promising but when it came to actually scheduling I never got replies back. Then I found motospace here in google maps and I wasn t entirely sure what to make off it, all I can tell was it s a motorcycle place that offers classes to work on your own bike, and after everything that went down, my mind set was if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself, So why not give it a try. Sent a message, Paul replies and right off the bat you just have that sense that he s a knowledgeable person and genuinely cares about helping you out. He was very straightforward, what he can do for you, how much things were, so there were no hidden surprises . Obvi the bike didn t start so what did he do, he came over and towed it for me! At a price of course, but def NOT tow truck prices. When we got there, he came to the conclusion that has to be the carb. So we ll work on that first and go from there. He literally showed me how to take the carb apart and sync it , adjust the valves and put it back together. On top of the carb rework, we also did the petcock, rework the cables, brake and throttle levers, battery charge, oil change, oh and changed the throttle cable entirely because it def was suppose to snap back. He had a spare from an older bike, took it from that.Working with Paul you get an idea of the guy, and he s the real deal. He s a motorcycle rider who s very knowledgeable and passionate about riding and motorcycles. A real rider in the sense that he rides all the time, not just weekends on the tracks but really riding out there. He s been all around the US in his Yamaha super tenere, he s got like 10 bikes of different kinds in his garage, all of which I wanna ride! He s been riding since he was 14 I think? And he rides constantly. I think that s what separates a real rider to a I ride occasionally which for the most part are the majority of us lol. So I feel super confident as an occasional rider to bring my bike to a place where a rider like Paul can help you. This ended up not short lol I m just that glad to find this place!!! We got the bike started same evening btw!

Paul helped me with my 2005 Triumph Thruxton. It had very erratic idling and did not stay running more than a minute. When I reached him over the phone, he listened carefully to what the issue was, and gave me a very precise prognosis and explained to me how he could help. When I decided to sign up, he was very clear and transparent about how his fee structure is set up.On the day of the appointment, I was very impressed that he had researched and anticipated how the job had to be set up, including the need for parts, and prepped the session accordingly. Paul is very hands on and does get his hands dirty, but even when it is quicker and easier for him to do the work himself, he lets me do the work so I could learn, explaining why I am doing what I am doing along the way.His shop is very clean, and his tools and equipment are of very high quality and are neatly stored and set up. He is very focused on safety, and is more than happy to share best practices.The result. My bike got back to its former glory. Great to see all the work came to such a good result. The fee was very reasonable, and Paul very clearly explained what was in it.Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service, and I am very happy to get to know Paul, such an unassuming nice guy. I definitely recommend Paul s business to anybody.Service: Carburetor cleaning

I took my wheels in for a tire change and Paul did an amazing and careful job, while explaining this awesome concept of a place: You can rent a section with a lift and all the tools you'd need to get the job done! And, having met Paul, I'm sure if one gets "stuck" somewhere, Paul wouldn't mind helping out a bit or giving out some pointers. I'm definitely coming back and recommending this place to other riders.

I should have grabbed pictures of this gorgeous work space!Any repairs I've had to work on was approached with confidence that MotoSpace Garage had the tools and knowledge to get it done efficiently and with a bangin' atmosphere. A variety of common & specialty tools as well as tools for workin' smarter not harder.The owner himself (Paul) is a motorcycle enthusiast and came well prepared for the fork rebuild I desperately needed. He'd printed out the section for dis/assembly on my project, read up on it ahead of time and called me ahead of time to double-check my bike specs so he'd be able to provide the specific tools for the not-so-common sizing my bike required.His decades long experience with all-things-motorcycle was invaluable! Whenever I got stuck he was able to lend insightful advice as well as muscle. I had almost given up trying to get out a sheered off bit in my flush-with-the-pan oil drain plug; much to my elated & relieved surprise, he was able to jimmy-rig a contraption (many for the project actually) that got the job done with no extended damage!Paul's just awesome! While I worked diligently turning wrenches he offered refreshment, vast conversation topics & great playlists of music (it aided in my focus, rather than detract with a well-balanced sound system for appreciative audiophiles). An absolutely unforgettable experience overall.As if this cake wasn't adorned enough - the cherry on top was the owner's serene and patient nature as we juggled my ever-changing-availability (and living 2 hours away) trying to schedule my time in the garage. Even further testament to his character - when we discovered my fork tubes were bent and I needed to order new ones before I could complete the project, he was on the ball as we researched nearest places & competitive pricing for the parts I needed.Renting by the hour is THE BEST and at an absolutely unbeatable rate that I've come across in a 150 mile radius. Despite that solid deal alone, the quality of tools, cleanliness, friendliness, knowledge & atmosphere is easily worth 5x what this man is charging (and I'd gladly pay it).Would recommend 12/10!Services: Steering & suspension repair, Brake service & repair, Oil change

I had the privilege of working with Paul yesterday on 12.20.2021. I took a 4 hour motorcycle maintenace crash course. I have been riding for almost 7 years but never have done proper maintenance on my motorcycles like oil changes, preventative maintenance, parts replacement and modifications. Paul thoroughly went through every part of my machine and answered my questions with precision and without judgement. From battery maintenance, brakes, suspension, fuel injected vs. carburetor engines, the difference amongst fuels, pre-ride checks, etc, just about everything was covered. I no longer will pay dealerships overpriced fees now that I have somewhere to do my own labor with guidance. I highly suggest you work with Paul to cover any of your motorcycle needs. Ride safely everyone. Cheers!Services: Carburetor cleaning, Electrical repair, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Engine repair, Auto detailing, Wheel alignment, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil change

I called up the shop and the proprietor, Paul, and I came in for a visit that evening. It's a very good space to work on your motorcycle. The garage is well laid out, organized, and clean. Paul is very knowledgeable about parts, maintenance, and shop techniques. I don't usually rate places on google, but would give 6 stars if I could!

This place is hidden gem for all motorcycle enthusiasts. I was trying to put the engine guard for my Triumph Bobber before a road trip to Austin. However, I could not remove the original bolts and nuts due to lack of proper tools. So I google and found this place. Paul - the owner of the workshop - contacted me after I submitted the quote. He explained to me how this work and it got my attention right away. I showed up on the time we picked. This place has every single thing you need to work on your bike. Metric unit or US unit - not a problem. I wont struggle like I always do when I work on my bike at home. With these tools, everything is done way much faster. You will be the one who work on your bike - you know just because it's your bike. Paul will be there to assist you and he did a great job. He explained to me why and how we need to do this and that. What is pros and cons of doing it. He knows a lot about bike - at least comparing to me. I have recommended all my friends who are also bikers to check his shop out. And I will definitely come back to work on my bike next time.

I was looking for a shop to mount and balance a couple of tires for my Triumph when I found this shop. The rear wheel on my bike uses a single center nut. Most shops don t want to deal with these wheels since they don t have the correct setup to balance them. The owner Paul didn t have a bushing on hand to balance my rear wheel, so he MADE ONE! I mean come on, that s a lot of work (and time) just to balance a single wheel. But he did it and didn t charge me a dime more to do it. For real, top notch service!This location is setup mainly as a self-service garage. My home shop is pretty well equipped to handle most repairs but, he does have a lot of specialty tools and equipment that I don t have. I can see myself coming back to use some of these tools.

Moto Space Garage is a DIY repair station.I was quite intimidated by the "DIY" term as I wasn't that knowledgeable about motorcycle.My expectation is as follow: I'm going to rent a workstation and fix my bike by my own and the expense is going to be reflected by the pace of my work.I was thoroughly wrong about that.What actually went: Paul, the person who runs the business, did about 60% of the work while I'm also learning techniques, tips, and knowledge on how to maintain my motorcycle.So for the price of $35 an hour, it will include:- all the tools and small add-on to fix your motorcycle- Paul's assistance throughout the whole process- the repairing experience that will stay with you even after your visit- advice on how to maintain your motorcycle- cold drink and an air conditioned room to keep you goingWhat Moto Space Garage doesn't provide:- The specific parts for your motorcycle (chain, gasket, etc)Keep in mind that it doesn't even matter if you don't have any experience at all, Paul will guide you through every steps.Starting from now on, I just don't see any point to go anywhere else to fix my bike. I might've as well do it myself at Moto Space Garage.Services: Carburetor cleaning, Electrical repair, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Engine repair, Auto detailing, Wheel alignment, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil change

Couldn't say better things about this place. Paul is a great guy, who really knows motorcycles and does a great job setting the place up and organizing. The tools are perfect, new and will cover whatever you need. I'm so glad that I found this place and no longer have to go to the regular dealer-thieves-idiots at every place in town.

The owner Paul really got me out of a jam. Stranded with a flat tire, he came and picked me and my bike up for a small fee. Got there and he let me watch while explaining what he was doing. Also he heard a noise once he finished, and deemed himself not finished until the noise was gone. Cant ask for anything better than that. Will be taking a do it your self class from him soon. I reccomend Paul to anyone who doesn't already have someone. BTW, he did this on a Sunday. Everyone closed on Sunday.

Paul s workshop is a little gem with all the tools and hydraulic lifts to get easy access to work on your own bike or to let Paul work on it for you.
