I called them first thing in the morning. even though they were already busy enough, they took me in for two tire changes. They work so hard and are so nice and professional. This will from now on be my tire shop! Thank you KC engineering for taking great care of my Harley!

Riding through Ssn Francisco needed tyre. Glad i got help here. Good prices, professional workmanship and super friendly. Thanks

Theyve got tires, and lots of em. In and out is easy, staff are friendly and will talk to you about whats going on. Love the atmosphere of the place--it FEELS like a motorcycle shop. Sometimes I get the feeling that theyre not 100% straightforward, and sometimes need to negotiate on the price of a tire, but by and large that adds to the experience.

Took my bike there thinking i would leave it with them until fixed which was discussed over the phone and we drove 2 hours and she said she couldn’t keep the bike and i’ve been waiting over a month for my estimate which i still haven’t received even with multiple reminders and calls the reply’s i’ve received are i’m sending it right now and almost two months later still no estimate definitely do not recommend save yourself the time and stress

I have been a customer here for over a decade. My go-to place for tires, and have had their mechanics spot issues in development that let me prevent them on more than one occasion. The owner removed a dent on my R1 rim so well you cant tell it was ever done, and that was after a previous mechanic (who dented it test riding my bike) tried to hide the dent by hammering it out. Simply enough, KC is awesome.

I cannot recommend. While the staff is friendly and kind, after installation, I found many dings and gouges in the rims from not properly using guards for the tire irons. More importantly, the bolts for the rear calipers were not installed correctly causing the rear caliper to dislodge while riding, doing hundreds of dollars worth of damage, and almost causing an accident. Finally, I found the pinch bolt 1/4 of the way out, as if they completely forgot to tighten it. I will never go back, as they seem to do extremely careless work on things that could cause life-threatening injury if not done correctly.

Extremely bad service. Mechanics argue with the clients and Il will absolutely never take my motorcycle there just so that the mechanic can chew me out.

Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ 120/50/17 front 190/55/17 back installed in a blink of an eye. Bout $500ish.. EDIT: Scratched my brand new rear rim and did not tighten the front brake calipers. Two bolts hold each front brake caliper, I heard something loose and thought it was the steering stem nut loosening, but I was literally 1.5 turns from losing the the only bolt that was left on each brake caliper. Yes lost one bolt and the caliper was clicking when I let off the brake.Nice people, but... I like my life, so I wont EVER be back.

I needed a 15K mile service for my 2012 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO. It was going to be weeks before I could get my bike into any local Ducati dealer for service. But Stephanie at KC Engineering gave me a quote on service to beat my Bay Area Ducati dealers and scheduled me for a week sooner than anyone else could. Stephanie later explained that the Ducati dealers prioritize warranty work over regular service which is why their wait times are usually weeks or months out.I got my Ducati Monster back on schedule and even below the price she quoted me. Rowen (Senior Mechanic), Christina (Office Assistant), and Stephanie (Office Manager) were all very pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. It was fun to share riding stories with everyone and to hear theirs as well. When the office manager, Stephanie, knows more about the parts on your bike than you do, that is a great sign of experience. It was a pleasurable experience working with them and they will be my first call from now on for any work on my Monster, or if I need tips on taking any long motorcycle rides around California.Also, I didnt know it before but they have an extensive supply of motorcycle parts and accessories hidden away above their garage. If you need some obscure part, like the battery tender to USB charger I needed, mirrors, tire patch kits, motorcycle battery tender, or anything, then you should call them to see if they have it. They probably will and you can pick it up the same day and save on shipping. An exceptional alternative to Cycle Gear if you need a part for your bike.If you need any type of service for your Ducati, or ANY type of motorcycle parts or accessories, then KC Engineering is the best small local shop in the Bay Area. There motto is If we cant fix it, then nobody can and that makes me feel safe and secure taking my bike there.

These are good folks, and they always make time to help me out with tires. Their prices are competitive, especially if you pay cash. They are my go to tire shop for my sport bike

Knowledgeable and friendly.

Excellent customer service. Super knowledgeable staff. About 2 years ago they had very hard to find parts in stock for my 96 CR 250 and this year Stephanie was able to help track down all the required parts to get my Harley back on the road.

Great service!! Went there to get new tires and, event though they didnt install them cause I wanted to do it (they would have done it if I had asked for it) they gave me a wonderful service!!Advice! If you are gonna pay in cash they give you $10 off I think when its over $70. But if you do a Yelp check-in theyll give you 10%. Choose which alternative fits better your situation and go for it!!

Great Customer Service

They sell good tires, but I give them 3 stars because they dont balance the tire and they tell you that if they did, I had to take her to another shop to go elsewhere to do it and pay more.

These guys were the only shop in SF that would install a replacement tire for my Onewheel board. They even stayed late to make sure I could pick it up same day. Thanks!

These guys & Gals really run a smooth Operation

Parked in front of the store waiting for friend to get her covid-19 shot did not go inside sorry

This has been a really unpleasant saga.I brought my vintage bike here since they were just about the only shop willing to take the project on (‘81 Kawasaki, starter clutch replacement).Issue #1: They originally quoted two weeks, and had the bike for a total of five months.Issue #2: They called me and I ride shared over a total of three times to pick up the bike, twice it wasn’t actually ready when I got there, despite being told it had already been test ridden.The amount I paid is roughly what was quoted.Issue #3: Three months after I got the bike back, it started regularly leaking oil. I had requested that all the seals and gaskets be replaced while they had the engine open originally, and the inovice stated that had been done.Issue #4: I contacted them to bring the bike back in for that (hopefully) warranty work to be performed, they said they’d order the parts and contact me “in a couple days” to arrange a time for the work. I contacted them four weeks later because they never reached out.Issue #5: I brought the bike in, and was called at 10:30 at night by a friend who lives nearby who informed me that they left my bike out on the street, in a spot where it would be ticketed or towed for street cleaning that night. They do not regularly leave any bikes out, they just forgot all about mine. I had to come over and move it to a legal space in the middle of the night. By 10am, they hadn’t even noticed that my bike was missing.I’m awaiting the receipt of the bike and the bill. I will not be returning.Update: I got the bike back, they comped the parts and charged me for labor. It still leaks oil. I called them and let Stephanie know that it isnt fixed, and that I wont be back.Based on my experience, and the conversations I’ve had with other customers, it seems that they’re fine for tire and oil changes. If you need anything more than the basics, or need it on a timeline, find anyone else.

Experts, family owned and run. I trust them with my bike.

These guys are actually very honest. I had a bad experience the last time I came in for an oil change that cost me a little more than I wanted it to. However, I didnt realize the price of synthetic oils so I gave them some attitude not realizing that its all my bad. So I just wanted to pop in and say Im sorry and Im going to give you guys a 5-star review in exchange for my attitude! Plus you guys have saved me several times with always having the right tires for me so once again thank you thank you thank you for being good people and working hard as you always do!

I had GREAT service here from Stephanie and her team. Brought in my wheel for a tire change and they immediately took care of me. Charged me way less than other shops in SF.Pricing is awesome and service is great! I can see why they’ve been around since the 70s.

This is the place Im going to from now on. Needed to grab some wheel bearings for my KTM and this was the only place in the city that actually had them on deck very nice people easy to deal with and they have a large inventory. If you dont already I suggest you give um a try.

REALLY GREAT STAFF! Seriously Stephanie is really helpful and understands any situation and definitely was amazed at how fast they work. Came in for tire change and recommended me which tires to get for my style of riding. Definitely coming back to change my dashboard also.

Always get good quality service and treatment. Never any complaints. This is my go to place when I need something done on my bike.

Total goldmine of a motorcycle shop in the bay, Extremely nice staff and the only place Ive found to do a certified brake and lamp inspection for motorcycles. definitely the go-to place to have work on any bike

Although I was slightly put back that they couldnt help me with my immediate need for a odd part they seem to know everything about bikes and have every part if not in stock they can get it I have a bicycle with a tiny motor and they got me running for cheap. Pictiure is of me. New visit has me bragging about kc how 5he will hook you up with the part you need and really spend quality valuable time to get that 1 dollar part you must have thanks guys and gals

My bike has been at this shop for 4 months & counting. Stephanie never calls back, leaves you hanging, & don’t care about the fact that’s still my bike!!!!Regardless of the many excuses it doesn’t take 4mos to fix a job. I’ve been lied too. Now the first two times she fixed my bike was pretty cool. This chick plays too many head games. I went up there yesterday to get my bike, which she said it was going to be done by last Friday, wasn’t. No call Saturday. So I goes there today with the cops only to be told that they still can keep my bike while she isn’t there & won’t answer her phone. Now I’m still out of a bike with paid repairs & I still don’t have my bike $640.00 later.

Very good. I love this place

It took 7 weeks for KC Engineering to complete work on my motorcycle. This in itself was disappointing. They could not complete all of the work themselves and had to farm out one repair to another shop which no doubt added 2 weeks to the extended time frame.The poor communication was the most frustrating part of the whole experience. If I didnt call to ask for an update I did not hear from the shop. When I did call the person on the phone could not tell me anything and would have to phone me back. Sometimes a day would pass and I would have to call again.Also, while there was more than one issue that needed attention, the first thing I asked them to look into was not addressed and I was told there was no problem. Later once they corrected the other issues they then agreed that what I originally asked them to look at needed attention. Again, VERY frustrating.Pricing is on par with most shops so no complaint there.Do not take your motorcycle here for anything more complicated than tires you may be as disappointed as I was.

This shop is AMAZING! I had made an bonehead mistake with my bike which they were able to fix without breaking the bank and giving the highest quality of work. Also were very communicative throughout the process, not doing anything without an OK and also working with my busy schedule.

Thats a perfect, nice, professional and good experience place.The price is good the service is excellent.

Great place for bike needs. Very helpful staff. Big selection of products for after market installs!

I have been going to KC engineering for a few years for simple issues for my scooters but will not be going back anymore. After my last visit, I seriously doubt their quality of work.I recently went in to have my rear tire changed (after I ran over a nail) and encountered a major issue after picking up my scooter. I drove about a block or so and a number of bolts sprung off the back all over the road resulting in the scooter to feel very off and to lose quite a bit of power. I was able to get back to the shop and a mechanic installed new bolts and made sure they were torqued correctly. I ended up going to another shop to ensure the rear wheel was put on correctly and that the scooter did not get damaged.I have never written a review but felt compelled to write this because I see this as a serious mistake that could have resulted in significant damage and injury.

This place is definitely TopNotch. I called in for a front tire and they had time for me the very same day. Half hour later I arrived and to a friendly professional atmosphere. They took the Triumph right away and about 40 minutes later I was outta there with fresh rubber. Id refer a buddy to K.C Engineering in a heartbeat.

Great shot! The ladies are super helpful.

Great location. Theyve got tires! Id an engineering item they wouldnt provide. No non-sense workers.

These guys (and gals) are very nice over the phone and in person.Ive been taking my bikes there since 2005 and have always received great service!I highly recommend KC Engineering.

Family owned business. Extremely happy with the service I received here. Very knowledgeable and curtious. I feel confident in their professional experience with motorcycle repair. K & C Engineering will be the only shop I go to with all my motorcycle repairs and or scheduled services. They were understanding and patient with me when I was in my time of need. They were willing to work with my tire warrantee business even though they hadnt done so before. I would recommend them to anyone in need of their services. This place is really great.

Just went in for a new front tire, many tire options, prices are good, labor pricing its standard, service its excellent. ...

Best bike mechanic shop in town. I was referred here by multiple people and so glad I took them up on their recommendation. They are experienced with older models and the staff is awesome. I won’t go anywhere else.

Top 3 bike shop in the city, solid work, One of the originals been around since ‘76, always has parts and tires on deck

This place is great, replaced my blown scooter tire Im like 20 min. Super friendly and very fast.

Great and speedy service, they put a solid tire on my electric scooter (unlike other places) with pleasure.

I was on day 10 of my 23 day tour of the United States last May when I finally reached the east coast. My bikes oil hadnt been changed since I was home in Ohio, and it was long overdue for a service. I stopped in at K.C. Engineering, and man, no words can describe my experience.First of all, the staff understood that I was traveling and that I had a tight schedule, so one of the mechanics made my bike a priority and started servicing it immediately. My bike had my entire life strapped to it, so the bags needed to be removed so the mechanic could work on it. One of the owners told me that I could take my bags off and put them in a corner safely in the back of the shop. They even locked my helmet in one of their cabinets!The mechanic was an older gentleman who had been working on bikes for a very long time. He knew my 1973 CB750 inside and out. I had an oil change, 4 new spark plugs installed, and two new tires put in. The mechanic even said that my oil filter housing was missing a metal washer that most people dont know about and throw away. He put in a replacement.The younger woman who was one of the co-owners asked me if there was anything else they could do for me. My turn signal cover was missing, and I was half joking when I asked her if she had a replacement, because no one has a turn signal cover for a 1973 CB750. I had lost it in Kansas, and went to many repair shops before and they didnt have any. Then she showed me the part room. They have parts... for everything. Their part room was huge for such a relatively small shop, and I felt like I was in American Pickers. We found the cover (in like-new shape by the way), and it fit my bike perfectly.The staff was amazingly kind, helpful, and experienced. They fixed my bike in only a couple hours, and even had a missing part for my vintage motorcycle. The only thing I wish was that their shop was back home here in Ohio.

I own a bike shop in Missouri. I had a customer on bike trip to San Francisco and developed an oil leak. These folks took care of him while he waited. Don had nothing but great things to say about these folks. Thanks so much for taking care of a stranger!!!

The place to go for motorcycle tire repair. friendly people, quality work. also helpful for new tires

Friendly most of the Time...been going singe the late 90s...

Always helpful when I need a quick tire or oil change while I’m at work. A bit expensive, but they always do a good job.

I love that place they have everything u need

Dropped in to price new tires for my R6. Ouch expensive. Went elsewhere and found something better.

I’m coming from the East Bay I hired a coworker to help me load the bike up and unload it I made an appointment last week to be here on the 14th and when I got here the shop was closed they’re not open on the 14th . What a waste of time I could’ve been at work.

They are real and helpful mechanic shopMy kids have three dirt bikes and whenever have a real issues they are always there to fix their bikesAnd put it back on the dirt

Inconsistent pricing/info on the phone versus wow now it costs more or different when you come in person. Strange attitude from the staff. Weird vibe at this shop. Not sure if I should trust them with my bike.

Quick service getting my rear tire plugged.

Always friendly, good prices, cash discount!

Called and needed a voltage regulator for my VFR800 ASAP!!! Jose came through, gave me a reasonable price, and was able to make it through my Yosemite trip with no charging issues!

October 2016 I had my front and rear tire swapped over here. Price was ok service was ok. Problem was when I left to travel down to LA next day . 150miles from LA my front brake pad flew out because whom ever did it had not checked to make sure the brake pad was in the correct spot when the tire was put back together. (This could have caused me to crash at highwayspeed). When I phone to ask what they would do about it, when I arrived to north Hollywood the next day they passed my question around from manager to manager and did not pay for the brake replacement. Every time I called back asking for help with this situation they brushed me off and passed the phone . I have never been so disappointed in someones work and business. This almost cost my life getting my work done here.

Had my front tire done nicely in this shop (good job) but then they broke left handle ending peace and didnt put it back (probably thinking that i will not see the broken part) . when i asked them to fix that broken part they started being aggressive saying it came off itself even-though i saw how they hit my handle to the counter and then that part felt down. instead of trying to help me to fix it they started arguing like they didnt do anything wrong. the mechanic was super aggressive and the lady on counter wasnt friendly during this discussion. instead of saying no worries,we gonna fix it (like normal customer service supposed to be) they and i wasted 5 minutes on arguing. at the end they tried to fix it but couldnt fix simple problem. i took it home and fixed myself(5 minuts to fix it). the most terrible customer service. be very careful when you leave your bike with unprofessional people and always check your bike before you take it from shop! NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOP!!!

Wouldnt take my bikes any place else. Thanks a million Stephanie!!

I have never had engine work done, but I for sure can vouch that their tire changing is on point! Always nice people, and quick service.

Best parts selection in SF possibley the bay area

Friendly staff and exceptional service

They told me one price on the phone and another in person. Changed the price of things Half way through our interaction, once my bike was pulled apart. I felt scammed and screwed. I will never use them again.

Got one line of info/pricing on the phone and then different info/pricing when i get there in person.

I have used them for oil changes and tire replacement but i dont trust the mechanics skill set to do much more technical services

Super friendly and efficient.

Fast friendly service.

Terrible customer service, and theyre not consistent with their prices or interactions.

Not honest.
