We are an exclusive American V Twin full service facility.
No, we do not offer mobile services at this time. Although we do partner with a very reputable motorcycle tow company and can assist on getting your ride to our shop in a timely manner to take care of your service and repair needs.
The time it takes to complete a repair depends on the year, make and model and the severity of the issue at hand. We strive to complete repairs as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. We will provide you with an estimated timeframe after assessing your motorcycle prior to any work being done.
We offer a comprehensive range of services, including routine maintenance & repairs, tire changes, speed & performance upgrades, custom builds & restorations, along with welding & fabrication. We also offer a detail service if you would like to add that to your completion so you hit the road shining!
While appointments are preferred, we welcome walk-ins, subject to availability, for minor repairs and maintenance.
We use high-quality parts from reputable brands that we have partnered with over our many years in business. We can discuss specific options based on your needs and budget as well.
The cost of a custom build varies depending on the extent of customization, parts used, and labor involved. We offer a free 30 minute consultation to discuss your vision. For a more extreme custom build Brooks will gladly meet with you one on one to make your vision come to life and that fee can be added into the build as agreed by both customer and HLMC.
Yes, you are welcome to provide your own parts, but we will need to inspect them to ensure they meet our quality standards and are compatible with your build. Warranty and some exclusions will apply and also be noted at the time of service and repairs.
We love our customers, so feel free to cruise on by
