I paid Brian the Service Writer at Greg’s Custom Cycle Works cash to have the rear tire of my Harley Fatboy replaced along with the valve stem I purchased independently and he put the valve in the properly completed shop order, indicating the repair(s) in the clear envelope for the technician. I received the bike back and on the way home noticed a rattling and I stopped to examine and found that the drive belt shroud was not secured properly . Upon further examination I see where the mechanic cross-threaded the bolt and no effort was made to clean the area made filthy by this mechanics poor work ethic. Little harm done, I went and bought new bolts and spent the next hour cleaning the back wheel . Now I realize from the loss of air in the rear tire that the mechanic did not replace the valve stem that I paid to have installed only to send me down the road with these two unsafe conditions. After my repeated attempts to contact Mr. Greg Rice he took my call to offer no resolve but to bring my bike back in and the same mechanic that had so terribly worked on it on May 3rd can have a shot at it again! He said it was near the end of the day when his worker was damaging my motorcycle which was likely why he was not attentive to my purchase. What Mr. Rice did not do was offer another properly trained tech to make the proper repair. He made no mention that his only Harley Authorized mechanic was deceptive and dishonest in not notifying me, the service writer or Mr. Rice that he in fact did not complete the repair in a knowledgeable professional and workmanlike manner. Mr. Rice made no mention to return to me the money I spent to have this repair completed. If this is different than stealing from me and compromising my safety I’m not feeling it. They ARE thieves and this surely is not what I have in mind when I think "custom". Gary L Newsum

My daughter's truck broke down while at USF and Robert from RJL repaired it quickly for very reasonable cost. I live a few hours from Tampa, so I called him after finding his shop on this website. He even offered to tow her truck if it couldn't make it to the shop. He was honest and only repaired what was broke and did not try to con her into anything more. Thanks Robert, I'll refer all the USF parents I know to your shop from now on.

Owners a decent guy(Tom), (mark) was cool too. The issues were the hack insurance company located out of state. They took there time paying for repairs and as a result the shop held my wife's car generally for ransom. I learned legally they can't do that and the payment issue was between the shop and the insurance company. Luckily I had a paid rental car so I wasn't pressed. Still I'm disabled and the stress exasperated my illness. Now , the initial repair also was substandard as the bumper popped out when I pushed on it and the hatch sheet metal collapsed in from damage. These two things were serious problems and I had to leave car for another week to repair correctly. However, the final end result was solid. The paint was spot on and the car looks great. 3 stars is generous.

Do not go here they will change prices, try to get you to pay over the quoted price to correct their shoddy work. I was quoted $220 to put in 2 Catalytic Converters in a 2010 Supercharged Range Rover sport. I ordered my genuine parts from the Land Rover dealership once my parts arrived I scheduled the installation for the next day. When I brought the vehicle in the shop owner offered to source the parts. I told him I’ve already purchased the parts from the dealership. He responded “that is fine” and they began to get started. I waited the estimated 2hr for work to be completed. I stepped out to get get lunch and I received a call from them saying they were having trouble fitting the catalytic converter’s to the manifold pipes. They said the fittings were not the same. I contacted the Land Rover dealership who confirmed the part numbers. They then told me they can take the system back down to correct the spacing and re-fit the catalytic converters for an additional $200 or they can cut the inlet off of the old catalytic converter and attach it to the new catalytic converter because they felt that would make it fit. Dealership advised against this saying altering a part would void the warranty. I asked them to put the vehicle back together that it’s probably best I go to another shop. 5 min late I got my truck back went to leave and it stalled out multiple times. I pulled over and viewed the catalytic converters fittings, both were left completely loose with a 1 in gap. The check engine light, restricted performance light, and low battery light are now on and the truck barely runs. When I returned they kicked me out and refused service after telling me I bought “eBay parts” They also refused to refund payment although they never completed the job properly. I had the vehicle towed to another repair facility immediately. I would stay far away from here if you value your vehicle.

Short and sweet they do terrible work. Do not believe the hype about them going to your car. If there is a problem (bubbles or flaws in the tint) they will not fix or the fix is so bad you will need to take it to a professional shop. Stay away don't waste your money on these guys

Been here a few times now. Simply put mechanics who know their craft and whom you can TRUST. If it ain't broke they won't fix it. Icing on the cake...they're good people.
