O’Hanlon Motorcycles

Every once in a while you find a place that is honest, friendly and that will go the extra mile. O’Hanlons is that kind of place.
I brought my limping CBR 600 f4i in with more problems than can count on two hands, and they were honest and knowledgable from the get-​go. After checking it out, Dave gave me a full rundown on his recommendations, as well as the biggest problems at hand (cam chain tensioner nonsense and break pads that were good for nothing but a hasty decapitation).
They went the extra mile fixing the things we decided were critical. Any questions/​concerns I had everyone in the shop was more than happy to answer and help me understand.
People that work for their clients basically.
Thanks guys!

I had my 600 GSXR maintained and my CRF 50 repaired here. David offered a great service and I couldn’t be more pleased. My GSXR maintenance was prompt, and for the repair of the CRF, he tried his best to be the least costly. Each time I got the motorcycles in great condition. I also greatly appreciated the time they took to explain what they’ve done and provide recommendations on how I can take the best care of the motorcycle.
These guys love motorcycles so you will be very happy by the team and their work.

David is THE Man for anything that anyone would need to know about bikes, repairs, fix-​it tickets and anything related to bike maintenance/​performance. I have been going there well over a decade, and nothing would take me anywhere else. They are all there (the entire crew working there) exceptionally helpful and kind and brilliant at what they do.
I love to drive my bike — with David and Robin there, i feel safe, protected and utterly taken care of. I Hope they never leave — they are an integral part of San Francisco where people have known to take their bikes and get the best service possible.
Honesty and expertise gives them the name they are truly known for, and this place continues to be famous for exactly what they do best. They are truly all extraordinary. This place is gold. A rare, treasure in San Francisco, for sure.

Really not much else to say here that has not already been said. The whole team is down to earth, polite, fast, knowledgeable and don’t ever try to over charge or manipulate you. Will not bring my bike anywhere else for any service.

Had my 2014 Tuono in for a quick repair. Despite not typically handling the V4s they said they would take a look at it. Luckily the fix needed was not really specific to the make. An hour and a half of labor they were done and I rode home. The guys at the shop were friendly, helpful, and laid back. Definitely a good experience and I will likely be back for those repairs I lack the tools/​time like this one.

Is it really an update if you still love your mechanics? Dave, Doug and the whole crew are really cool.
Just sayin’…

This is about as good of a shop as it gets. I’ve been coming here for the last 8 years and the service as well as price has always been excellent. An honest shop with quick turnarounds, affordable rates and free advice. I was hesitant to buy a Victory purely because I would have had to go to a the dealer for work instead of come here.
Dave once saw my sketchy clutch handle when I came to pick up my bike after an oil change (yes I am lazy). He pulled the bike back into the garage and put in a new handle right there on the spot. I waited 20 minutes and he charged me for just the new handle. $ 14.
Other work they have done: Countless oil changes, balanced my wheels, new clutch, front end rebuild, sets of tires, brake changes, and great recommendations when I started doing some customizations.

I love this place. I bought used cbr 954rr and had no ideas about maintenance. Dave helps me out. Whenever i have any questions he welcome to answer. I would recommand to my friends. I deffinitly will come back.

I’m rebuilding my Honda CB 550 and I’ve been shopping at 4 into 1 for most of my part and they have these guys ron a list of vintage bike mechanic shops i just had some questions on problems i ran into and out of the few shops listed this shop had a guy answer that was really helpfull and didnt have that attitude like i cant help you cause im not getting paid to answer your questions or im smarter than you so u wont understand if i tried just pay me to do it !
Not very kewl ! When mechanics will be helpfull and share there knowledge it really nice and to me goes along way in my book when my bike is together and needs stuff dialed in this is the shop im giving my money to ! Thanks to whoever answered the phone old school service nowadays is great

Dave was a tremendous help when I needed to get a motorcycle fixed for one of my friends. I know nothing about motorcycles and had to repair a bike for my friend who had a family emergency. He did quality work, at a reasonable price and a fast turnaround time. Despite my lack of knowledge with motorcycles, Dave did not try to take advantage of my naivety nor did he talk down to me. This caliber of customer service is hard to find. Thanks for all of your help, Dave! I really appreciate it!

The whole team an O’Hanlon is amazing. Fastest service, incredible diagnosis and immediate fix.
Best shop i’ve ever been to, and so helpful.

Made a Unilocal account just to review O’Hanlon.
Dave and his shop are fantastic — honest, clear, kind, and caring. My bike was having trouble starting and dying frequently. Before taking my bike here I took it to a different, seemingly well-​respected shop in San Francisco. They told me that it was going to need approximately $ 2,600 in repairs and then failed to return my calls as I tried to get more information from them.
Brought it to Dave, and it turns out that it was just a simple battery issue. He talked me through a bunch of important things, gave me some tips, and was all around kind and helpful. Bike runs beautifully.
Take your bike here — some of the best customer service I’ve received.

I can’t thank them enough for going the extra mile to make my life easier. Recently as I was about to bring my bike to the shop, my clutch cable snapped as I pulled out of the garage. I called O’Hanlon and Dave who was super-​helpful: he gave me the clutch cable from their own inventory (at cost!) & provided a couple of pointers so I could make the repair myself.
These guys genuinely mean to help out — five stars & well earned.

I am so happy to have found O’Hanlon! They’re knowledgeable, helpful, no-​nonsense, and fast. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any of my friends that ride.

Just picked up my bike from Dave and he/​his crew did another great job for me. As always, Dave was generous with his help, straight up and easy to deal with.
This place is the best. Thanks Dave & crew!

I just had my 2003 KLR serviced here and they did an amazing job. Super simple to drop the bike off, same day turn around, and the owner, Dave, was kind enough to walk me through all the work done. He even wanted me to call him the next day and let him know how it was running. I forgot to call so I thought I would leave a good review instead. Bike fires right up and runs strong. Thanks Dave and the team!

As far as I can tell, these guys have only ever tried to SAVE me money and keep my bike safe to ride. I’ve been here 3 or 4 times and every time I’ve had the impression that they are solid, honest, respectful, and the kind of place that earns their good reputation with good work and good business. I’ll be back whenever I need work done.
btw Dave if you read these you were 100% right about the new intake manifolds the bike runs smoother, sounds different even. and 3 – 4 mpg better mileage! f – k yeah thank you. (on the 1980 cb750f)

The guys here do good work and it’s a fair price for being in the city. Dave is very communicative and a cool dude. I can’t really complain about any of their business but they’re just a bit too safety oriented for me. It’s possible Dave will hold your bike and not let you drive away if it’s too dangerous in his eyes so beware of that. Which is a good and bad thing.

Hands down awesome all around. I’ve been bringing my old Honda’s here for a decade now and have never been let down once. Dave will often go the extra mile, too, like having bins of used parts for cheap/​free (parts that would be hard to find anywhere at all).

Dave is the guy. I’ve been through plenty of shops, and these guys just get it done. No BS.
It’s a virtuous cycle of being able to charge appropriately high fees while maintaining enough popularity to do it — the incentives all work out, everyone gets paid, and everyone rides.
Most moto shops suffer from a communication problem, and don’t know how to tell people what’s wrong with their bike without sounding like they’re upselling or being seedy. Dave knows how to talk to a customer in a way that shows he values everyone’s time (including his ;)
