Evolution Motorcycles Reviews

I've been coming here for years with my various bikes and have never been disappointed. Since they also became an Aprilia dealer and shop, this is my place to bring my Tuono.

I highly recommend Evolution Motorcycles. I've gone multiple times for suspension and tire service. Great location too.

This is a great shop. Great customer service and the quality of the work is top flight.

These guys repaired my bike unexpectedly quickly and for an unexpectedly fair price. They had the part I needed in stock already, and had my ride ready to go the same day. I am very pleased with my experience, overall and would recommend this shop to anyone.

Been going to this place for about 4 years. The staff have been straight forward and professional. I recommend this place.

Hands down the best moto shop in the Bay Area. Robert (the owner), and all the rest of the employees are completely nuts about motorcycles and have the expertise to match their passion for bikes. They provide top notch service and sales for anyone lucky enough to walk in the door.

You won't be disappointed if you come here. A++++

I've been dyno tuning my carbureted R6 with Rob and his expertise and vast experience of many years of motorcycling has been so valuable for me. And unlike other shops, they don't care if you're spending $20 or $20,000...they give everyone the same high level of attention and service. Can't ask for more than that.

I purchased a new Aprilia from Evolution Motorcycles. Post-sales support from Robert has been exemplary. The staff is highly competent, courteous and professional.

Excellent service. A simple tire change turned into a bug hunt (due to tubeless wheel) for which we did find a solution. I will definitely return

Great folks! Big fan of Rob and his wife, the original owners...

The service is the best they do great job come back for sure

Great service and Robert was a pleasure to work with. I'd take my bike back to Evolution again any time.

Very fair on price, extremely helpful, and did an all around outstanding job. Highly recommend this shop.

I brought my bike in to get new tires and have them check out a few things. They were patient and heard me out and didn't upsell me or anything. They actually steered me towards some Dunlops with a rebate to save me a few $$$. Just took it out to pagemill today and it felt great. Thanks and I'll be back!

Awesome shop. Clean and professional. Quick turnaround. No BS.

You won t find anybody in the Bay that does better work, at an honest price to boot.

After BMW quoted me far above what I could do. I was prepared to not be able to fix my bike. Evolution provided an honest and reasonable quote and saved me from a situation of walking away empty handed

300 to rebuild fork off the bike and thats not considering the parts , what happen to all the good things people said about his place

Evolution has worked on two rebuilds for me, a very used 2003 SV650 and a 2002 KLR650. We had used motors installed, and some needed upgrades. Both ran perfectly afterwords and felt like new bikes. Still have the KLR650. Normally I will buy one used bike every two years and sell one to help pay for it. The KLR is doing so well I am reluctant to keep to my time schedule! Good service and fair prices. We are lucky to have them so nearby. I take my 1995 BMW R1100 GS to San Jose BMW to keep our local dealer happy and healthy, but I am sure Evolution would also be very capable for that bike too. --Hal Moore

Took my bike in for fork seals last week. The guys at Evolution charged half as much and got my bike back to me twice as quick as another shop was willing to do it. On top of that Robert was great to work with. No snobby know it all attitude, no bull $hit, just another guy who loves motorcycles. When I got my bike back I noticed that Evolution had cleaned all the evidence of the seep in my fork seal, and I thanked them for it. It wasn't until I got home that I realized that, not only had they cleaned the mess from the fork seal, but my Ducati had been washed clean of dead bugs and looked good as new! Really impressed with this shop and I look forward to doing business with them again

great place if you need a bung welded to your exhaust pipe or if you need a baseline dyno run on your motorcycle before you start modifying the engine. Good people, great atmosphere great place to talk motorcycles or catch up on the latest news on motorcycles, engine hop up and such. I had a bung weld for me on my full Finbro exhaust system that will be used on my Takegawa 181-4v engine which I m modified with, 5 speed transmission, 34 Koso throttle body and matching inlet tube, Aracer ECU and autotune and other go fast parts to hit a 100 mph.

All I can say is this place is fantastic. I am one of those extremely anal people that wants the best service. I am a new rider and went in for a suspension tune up. Not only did I get that which made a huge difference, my butt no longer jumps off the seat on every small bump in the road but I learned several things from proper tire pressure and much more. I have been in several shops after getting my bike and at this point Evolution will be the only place I bring her for anything. If the owners read this I have to say Robert who took care of me is awesome. Thank You.

Fast service, but my fault indicator is on after taking it here. Kinda bummed.

I've been visiting this place for several years now. They're very friendly and always do a good job.

This place is amazing. I made an appointment and showed up about half an hour after opening, and they put a mechanic to work on my bike right away. I waited with their pleasant staff and adorable dog for a short bit and they were done! The pricing was very fair and cheaper than most of the places near me. Could not be happier!

I've had my forks refreshed twice here, fluid and seals. Work is quality, clean, on time, at a reasonable price.

And they're nice folks to deal with.

Nice and friendly staff, treat everyone equal, I really liked this place and I will bring my motorcycle again in the future

Top notch shop! Whole team is hard working, knowledgeable, and friendly. I don't know one person who doesn't recommend this shop.

Very competent, friendly and helpful team of bike fixers.

This is a great motorcycle shop, and the only place I would take my bike!

I have had a tough time finding a bike mechanic that is open during the hours that they post and charge a descent price. With that said, I love these guys. From nice lady who answers the phone to the mechs in the back. They are very thorough, professional, and they don't gouge on service fees/prices.

Love the place, only regret is that I do much of my own work and don't get to use Evolution that much :-) when its a difficult job, Rob has been great and sorted me out quickly and fairly.

I bought a used bike here and could not be happier with my experience. Rob, the owner, went out of his way to get everything in order for me. This shop is professional, reasonable, and has excellent customer service.

We talked on the phone he order the tire he told me I am open a order for you it will be $178..... the next day I arrived afternoon they change it very fast I didn't wait too long but when I paid and he give me to look on the bill be for he charging my card I see that he is going to charge me $250 I asked him about it he didn't know what to say. I did my recarc and call to few different places on the phone he was the nicest and the cheaper but in the end I paid more than every other place in the city. Ask the price on paper work before you give him the key

Super prompt in fixing the bike and in a timely manner!

Ive been riding for over 20 years and had great and subpar service from norcal LA and Texas. This group of specialists do the best work with the best results. On top of that is always NO BS. They take the concern out of the experience. I ride everyday on two wheels as a daily commuter and my motorcycle is my livelihood. It isnt the nicest bike. Well infact its kinda crappy, but they make me feel just as important as someone with a high priced ride. Id give them more stars if I could they deserve 6.

They are the real deal. And as long as im on two wheels and living in the bay they will get all of my business

A little hard to spot from the road, but definitely worth it. Always honest, good work for a reasonable rate.

Great experience here.. Brought my bike in for repairs, exactly what I needed done, quickly and at a great price.

Have been here before for a tune up and radiator hose replacement along with tire changes. Great and trustworthy service.
Edit: bike back and runs well!

I hope I never NEED to come back, but these guys are excellent. If I ever need service again, this is the spot. They diagnosed my fuel pump issue and rebuilt it. The cost was reasonable given the work involved. Definitely recommend them for any repairs.

Evolution got me taken care of quickly and with no fuss! The final bill was exactly what was estimated. I took my Ninja 500 in for minor maintenance and they gave it a once over and i was relieved to know everything on my bike checked out. They even let me know that my pads were wearing low and i would need a new rear tire soon. I will definitely be returning. And by the way, the greeter dog Mallory was super sweet!

Good at changing tires. Rims were perfect after fitment. Used several times without issue.

I went to Evolution because I was in a bind for time. There was way too much on my plate and I was fearful the new race bike would not be ready for the 2014 season. I explained to Rob what was needed and to his credit he did not laugh out loud or ask me to go away. I race the 450SB class with the AFM and wanted to modify a GSXR600 to fit the 450SB rules. Rob was fully into it and offered helpful and knowledgeable suggestions . I know that Rob was leaving on a trip and was not due back until just before when I asked for my bike back. I was astounded when he called to let me know everything was finished before he left! He had to put in some extra time, which I m grateful for, because it gave me extra time to get done what I wanted to do on the bike. Somehow I get the feeling this will not be my only review for Evolution Motorcycles. I m not really one to let others work on my bike but I know I ll be back because the place was clean and professional, instilling mucho trust in their abilities. As a bonus everyone there was super nice and very helpful.

Perfection. What else can i Say? They've hooked two of my bikes up. The husband/wife crew is hands down the best motorcycle service shop i'm worked with.
