My son recently bought a Harley Sportster and I just bought a Suzuki C50. They went above and beyond with amazing service. It was raining the day I purchased my Suzuki so they delivered the bike to my home. I cant say enough good things about this business!

Very nice shop full of an assortment of bikes and accessories. Friendly staff too! I was greeted by Mike and assisted with the sale of my bike by Turner. He was very polite, fast and organized. Couldn’t be happier with my experience and recommend this business if you’re in need in the Columbus area! Thanks for the help.

Took my 19 Electra Glide this morning as I wanted to sell. Turner was great to work with and the process was incredibly smooth. I greatly appreciate the ease in which we were able to transact business.

Fantastic to work with!!! I traded my 2013 Harley Fat Bob. Extremely fair trade. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They even picked the bike up from my house on a Sunday. You couldn’t ask for better customer service. I highly recommend!

I moved out of town in 2017 and put a bike in storage. Called independent to sell the bike. Turner Came out, made a fair deal, took it back to the shop, and finalized it. Couldnt be happier with the service, professionalism, and efficiency. Thanks Turner for making it such an easy thing.

Im truly disappointed with this place! Im new to riding motorcycles and bought my first bike mid march 2021. I went in to buy a helmet from Independent Motorsports about the same time. I bought a $168 matte black Z1R helmet with quick release feature. I used the helmet for the motorcycle ohio class training over a weekend, passed the test and got my license. I have only ridden my motorcycle a hand full of time due to ohio weather. But all of a sudden, less than a month later.... my helmet wont open. The quick release button is broken and the helmet was never dropped or damaged at all. So I go in and speak with Jared W. and after he looked at helmet AND AGREED IT SEEMED DEFECTIVE... he says the manager is out and come back on Friday. Well due to life happening i couldnt make it back Friday. So I go in monday and he says, sorry the managers actually out all week. So, I find it very annoying and completely absurd that I have to wait a week to swap out a defective helmet because no one in the entire store has the authority to take care of a customer issue with one of their products!?? WOW. Horrible customer service due to lack of training employees!

We had a horrible experience with another motorcycle dealer so we decided to go ch CK out independent motorsports. From the first minute we walked in we was treated with respect and answered all our questions we had. They Took us in room and we had my sons dirt bike paid for and it was ready for pick the next day. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know that needs and bikes or service.

I paid cash for a dirt bike for my grandkids$1500 to be exact. It is junk the muffler fell off then the front fender came loose. It rattles bad. So you might not want to buy anything from these crooks. Oh yes once you pay for it there isnt any warranty at all not even for 5 minutes5. I bought it almost one month ago.

Gave 4 stars because I never give 5 ... No matter how great the service theres always room for improvement ... A wise man once said that ... I think it was me... That being said .. Had a great experience dealing with IM ..first their web site was very user friendly to search their inventory ... Found a few that interested me and Dustin took a lot of time until I settled on a beautiful 2014 Yamaha Stryker .. The closeout was relatively quick and painless ...Hell.. Even got a free T-Shirt ..maybe I should bump it to 5 Stars ... Do yourself a favor .. Check these guys out ...

Excellent place absolutely love the staff... Pam made sure that i got what i wanted... and the staff actually loaded my bike and tied it down for me if I could give them 20 Stars I would.... I drove 7 1/2 hours to personally pick up the bike and any future purchases will definitely come from them

The staff was so friendly and helpful with any questions we had, we purchased a kids four-wheeler from them and will certainly be back for more. They made sure we knew how to operate it and helped us get it into the car. Paid $1,045 for it fully assembled. They also work on the vehicles they sell and are able to order replacement parts. Great company.

Review №26

I actually had to double check to make sure I was reviewing the right dealership, because my experience with Independent Motorsports was drastically different from the published reviews.Ive been riding/buying motorcycles for over 35 years and Ive never dealt with a sales teams that had such little for their customers. I was literally told that sale is all that matters when I found out they accepted a down payment from a local buyer because it was quicker and easier for them.I spoke to the sales manager who approved of the shady tactics used by his salesforce.Please take all reviews reviews with a grain of salt..... but be careful with these guys.

Review №29

Great service and prices! Went in to get a feel of a Harley Davidson V-Rod in terms of actual weight and was very pleased; this was a 1250cc bike and a beautiful, well maintained bike. Fell in love with it’s sound. Went back 1st thing Monday morning and bought this bike.The only unfortunate issue was the key didn’t match the bike, but they tried very hard to reach to old owner to see if he had another set. After numerous unsuccessful attempts, were unable to get them. They arranged for a locksmith to meet me at the shop who made me new keys. Overall, I am very pleased with the process, bike, and service.I will do business again because of their trust and customer service. I am very grateful to Turner, Pam, and Mark who were all exceptional! Thank you!!!

Ray saw the ad for my MT-07 for sale and gave me an offer that I couldn’t resist. Met them 5 mins from my house and had the cash and gave them the title within 10 minutes of meeting them. Great Deals & Great People. Will be heading to Independent Motorsports when it’s time for my next bike.

I live in SC and bought a 99 Sporty from Pam sight unseen. Pam accurately represented the bike and I was quite surprised at the great condition it was in when I received it. We took care of all paperwork via email, which was a breeze. Independent made arrangements for delivery and it arrived a week earlier than expected. Thanks for the pleasant experience.

I had work done on my Quad their about 3 years ago and they did an awesome job, but for the last year and half Ive tried to set up some service repair their and have been given me several different answers everytime of why they cant do it. Everything from they only had 1 mechanic or they are 6 months behind to now my Quad is to old to for them work on. Their employee actually recommended me to another shop. Im disappointed with Independent motorsports because I really thought they really did a good job after my first business interaction with them. I will most likely be taking my service and purchase needs and recommendation to others to go somewhere else.

Visited shop first time on Saturday, great selection of equipment, both road and off road. Had a thought on what we wanted to purchase prior to going to shop, felt no pressure to purchase, dealer was knowledgeable about the product we asked for, purchased a bike for our grand daughter, and was in and out of shop in a short period of time with bike purchased, serviced, and paperwork completed. We where happy with the transaction that we dropped a bike off for service with the service department.

Review №53

Bought all my bikes from here friendly staff, knowledgeable and HONEST!!!! Came upon some hard times and had to sell my bike. Their honesty about the best way to sell my bike was actually to not sell it to them. However I needed money now and took their actual overly generous offer, for a bike that needed a lot work. Yes I’m customer and all business are here to make money but even money isn’t their most important thing. It’s trying to help a customer honestly and to the best of their ability. Can’t wait buy another bike from them when times are a little better. Customer for life. Great company basically family. Thanks again, a truly a satisfied customer.

Brought rims with tires into the shop, waited a day and was charged more than I thought was fair. Not complaining, just seems like pricing in Columbus is much different from what I was used to in Cincinnati. Staff was busy, but not inattentive; I waited for probably 10 minutes at the parts counter before being helped. If laziness strikes me again, Ill bring more tires back to be mounted. Nothing negative, but, Ive had better experiences elsewhere.

Great people great place to buy a bike. They have very reasonable prices and they will not stiff you on your trade in. I had a great experience there. Beginning with Steve my salesman and everybody I worked with throughout the process. These are genuine good people. I feel like I did more than just purchased a motorcycle. I gained great friends.

I have an ATV can am and this place seems they are more about you buying a motorcycle than anything Also called and asked how much it would be to get tires installed on new rims No dismounts Only mounting 4 unmounted brand new tires onto brand new rims for my 4wheeler and they estimated $230 just for that Went to Walmart and paid $20 for the same thing. This place isnt the only dealership that over charges everything but its ridiculous.

I took my Harley here to see what they would offer me for it. Even though Ray, the owner, and I could not reach a deal he gave me some excellent selling tips.

Just recently purchased my first bike from independent. Extremely happy I did. Salesman Rod was very professional and knowledgeable. Answered every question I had. When the owner, Ray, delivered the bike to my house, he noticed the battery was a little weak. He gave me his personal battery jumper pack to borrow in case I needed it. Then he came back in a few days with a brand new battery and installed it free of charge. Answered every question I could throw at him. Very friendly and helpful. Independent motorsports is a professional, honest bike shop that isnt out to drain your pockets. I highly recommend them for anything you need from motorcycles to accessories. They have a customer for life. Thank you!!!

Bought an R6 from there a couple months back. The only thing I wished was better was a final inspection of the bike before it got pushed out because there were numerous things on the bike that were loose one of them being the oil filter. not a huge deal but having to put down over 1000 more than what the salesman and I agreed upon the day before youd think everything would have been in line. not to mention fighting with my lienholder because they slacked in paperwork. not the best but not the worst experience.

Review №72

Great experience with the staff at Independent. I had a small issue that I didnt notice until I started riding. I stopped in and discussed the issue with them and they asked me to bring the bike in for them to see. Their techs confirmed what I was saying and they took care of it completely, didnt just patch the issue. I was very impressed as I had signed the AS-IS papers and they could have just left me hanging. Glad to work with people who value their reputation and do what is right.I did purchase the extended warranty, but this was a wear issue, not a covered issue. This is the second bike my family has purchased from them. I usually dont recommend people, but after my experience I sent 2 people, one selling his bike and another purchasing one. Both were very happy how well and fair they were treated. Thanks to everyone at Independent !

Independent Motorsports was a customer of mine (pallet racking) before I became one of theirs. My ATV needed some repairs and these guys were up to the task. Hard to find more knowledgeable staff, very professional and down-to-earth. They tuned me up and even recommended against the more costly repairs after asking how long I wanted to keep this one. Highly recommend this shop for any ATV & bike service and/or sales, since the people make the difference in this industry.

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to buy a bike from this dealership. When they ask you about your riding experience make sure you let them know you came out of your mothers womb riding a cbr 1000rr on the back wheel. If you don’t they won’t sale to you.

I dont know how many of you enjoy working on your own bike, but I am one of those guys. I went in to Independent over the weekend and spoke with Ryan at the parts counter. not only did he help me with what i was looking for, but informed me on things i may have overlooked. no up selling, no badgering, just old fashioned bike talk with some very good advise. this shop is the real deal for any biker.

Just picked up a 2012 Harley VRod Muscle from Justin Adams on Thursday (3/30/2017) and couldnt be happier!Justin was a great salesman and DIDNT put any pressure on me just to make a sale. Not to mention he was very informative and helpful with my trade in.And Pam Rocco was a breeze to do the financing with and very knowledgeable about the entire process.Im super stoked for this riding season with my new bike thanks to the help of Independent!I look forward to coming back to have my bike maintained with KC in service, Im sure the shop runs as smooth as the sales department and it will be a painless experience there as well!I highly recommend these guys if you are looking for a new bike or just need your bike serviced.I can tell you first hand they care about their customers and your toys like they are their own!Ride safe!And Happy 2017 riding season!

Independent Motorsports was the only shop in Columbus willing to do a collision estimate on my 1988 Honda. I received excellent service from everyone at Independent Motorsports.
