1 Stars: total flake, unreliable and rude! (by Joshua D.)

This guy, Tyler, is a flake. At least he was the day I met him. We had an appointment, I had the bike towed to him. He only took one look at it and decided he didn't want to work on it after all. He said my bike was a 'bad scene'. He seemed stoned or something and talked like a hippie. Maybe he thinks hes a moto psychic, but if so his powers of perception are lacking. I had to have it towed back home. That was 9 months ago or so. I have since rented a house with a garage, and decided to do all the work on it myself due to my experience with Tyler. It is now running great and looks awesome. I get compliments on it all of the time and it is one of the nicest CB750's I have ever seen. No one would refer to it as a 'bad scene' at this point. I am almost grateful for him being such an *ssh*le, because it motivated me to just do it myself and I've done a much better job than some mechanic who doesn't give a d*mn. I will always remember Tyler from Hayasa as the guy who permenantly soured me on mechanics in general.

If you are looking for a good, RELIABLE mechanic, look elsewhere.

I'm responding to Joshua D's review-- Tyler is VERY honest and always looking out for me. He's fixed my 1973 RD350 when none else would touch it, probably the only guy around who will/can work on a bike that old. He also swapped out the chain on my Ducati when it was damaged (I was going to limp it home and put the new chain on there, but he insisted on putting it on for me, instead, even though it's a Duc).
Tyler also got banged up pretty bad in an accident once, but kept working anyway-- broken ribs and all, 'cause he had promised some work to be completed (not the actions of an *ssh*le).
Tyler also let me try out a bike he had for sale, said I could keep it for a few days if I wanted, to make sure it was a good fit.
If Tyler said this guys bike was a "bad scene," it's probably because he's being nice enough to not say Joshua is a bad scene. I would turn Josh away, too, if he was as much of a whinner in person as he is here.
