Avenger Cycle Works

Just wanted to say, I had Zig as a motorcycle instructor in my motorcycle safety course in Wrightwood, CA. He taught me to be a capable rider in a weekend. From zero knowledge, I’m now breaking in my first sportbike. Riding safely, pre-​ride inspection, the right gear, traffic knowledge and breaking perfectly! I owe Zig more than I can ever repay him. Haven’t had to have any maintenance on my bike yet, but reading the other reviews and meeting the real Zig and getting mechanical help for my newbie questions answered above and beyond what I deserve because he is just THAT in to motorcycles!

I’m new to riding, just purchased my first motorcycle 3 weeks ago with zero riding knowledge. I am mechanically incline when it comes to cars but have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to motorcycles. With the new purchase I needed someone to check the bike out and give it basic service and maintenance. I also wanted to learn about the service and maintenance on motorcycles. I asked around and a friend referred me to Avengers and to talk to Zig. I got there and talked to Zig, letting him know that I am very new to motorcycles and he checked my bike out and let me know everything that needed to be changed or looked at, suggesting things here and there while giving me background info on why I needed to do it and not one mention about anything that was unnecessary. After writing up a work order, I was still contemplating the cost of everything because I was not planning to spend that much money, but Zig unlike other shops or places did not push anything on me which I really liked. After making an appointment, I dropped the bike off and came back the next day. I came back to my bike being spotless and all fixed. I had missing bolts to hold down my windscreen and when I came back Zig had put new bolts in without me asking him. Zig spoke to me for a long time letting me know when to service, when to do maintenance on the bike as well as tips on riding. Zig also runs a radio talk show about motorcycles, and is an instructor for the Motorcycle Training Course.
Over all I had a great experience with Avenger Cycle Works. Zig really hooked me up with great deals on everything that he did for me and this was my first time. I couldn’t imagine if I was a long time loyal customer. I will be taking my motorcycle and my future motorcycles to Zig and only Zig.

I have been riding for almost 6 years and have had quite a few mechanics because I have moved 3 times in that 6 year span.
Never have I ever had a more honest and capable mechanic. Please give this place the opportunity to make your day :)
Ride safe and enjoy life!

Great place to get your motorcycle serviced or what ever you need for your bike they really do help you out. Zig will make sure your bike is up and running how it’s supposed to be running. If you need your motorcycle looking nice he will make sure it looks as sharp as you want it to look, he really know his stuff when it comes to motorcycles. Really recommend this place you won’t get a great service done anywhere near by as you do at Avenger Cycle Works. A++

Most PROFESSIONAL and FRIENDLY service I’ve ever received in California! Zig is very knowledgeable and he even goes out of his way to help you out.
The headlight of my bike was out along with the speedometer, I figured it would be a quick fix since it seemed like nothing too serious, however it would have prevented me from driving at night and I use my bike a lot.
I show up to several motorcycle repair shops such as John burrs cycles and Chaparral Motorsports to get the problem fixed and they refused to take my bike in because the model is 2004, apparently they can’t guarantee that kind of a job, or it’s too much liability or yada yada yada, all I know is that I showed up with a problem and I was treated as if I should be begging them to fix my bike.
I look on Unilocal for an alternative and Zig’s place pops up
I give him a call and I ask if he would take a motorcycle that is a 2004 model, he laughed a bit and replied «You have been talking to Chaparral haven’t you?».
Right there I felt better and knew I found what I needed, I show up to his place, and not only he fixed my problem ASAP but I also noticed that he oiled the rusty switch of my turning lights without me even asking and now it works like a charm I never knew how smooth the switch could get.
At the end of the day he DID NOT CHARGE ME since it actually was something simple, but I’m sure to come back and get my bike serviced in no other place but here.
*If you are looking for great customer service and someone you can trust your bike to, look no further.
And Chaparral can bite the big one!

Best personalized treatment of all time! Zig knows everything there is to know about bikes & his work proves it. He can work on anything: cruisers, street bikes, dual sports, you name it. The shop has a cool vibe and he’s the only one that touches the bikes. There’s a lot of pride in ownership @ Avenger. He’s only open Mon-​Fri but has a great turnaround time and unbeatable prices. Our family completely trusts him with our bikes.

Zig is a very competent mechanic. He gives great attention to detail and works fast! You won’t be sorry going there. He did carb rebuilds on my 92 Honda Nighthawk that was barely running. It runs GREAT now. He also did several fixes here and there that the bike really needed and didn’t charge extra for it. I did call Chaparral first for an estimate and they couldn’t even tell me if they could get parts or fix it without ‘looking at it’ first. Chaparral? Just say NO.

After researching several motorcycle repair shops in the San Bernardino/​Riverside area I stumbled upon this one. Zig is a stand up guy and an expert mechanic that will tell you costs upfront, likewise he offers cheaper alternatives rather than trying to up-​sell like most mechanics I’ve encountered. Furthermore, I had secondary issues with my front forks instead of only a broken oil seal yet Zig was able to save me time, money, and a headache by repairing them on the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back when I need some work done since I commute often from Los Angeles to March Air Force base. Thanks again!

I am new in the San bernardino mountain, I have a honda shadow spirit. I went first to the usual dealer ship Honda which gave me a over priced estimate. when I discover «the Advenger shop «I was far to think I will save more than 200 dollars on the initial estimate from the other usual dealer ship I use to go first. The advenger owner named Zig, has gone straight to the point while being so flexible with the fees and the quality of his work is irreproachable. Tires changed in a short time, flexible with the emergency. I asked him to replace my windshield, and he didn’t try to over charge me, Zig has been very honest on the cost and didn’t charge me only according hours for each items working on, like other dealers will over charge me and adding deshonestly hours for each items they will have to work with on my bike. I will always be happy to recommend his business toward others people I will meet in the futur, like I heard about him before bringing my Bike to his shop. I really have the pleasure to encourage his network, Zig is deserving it.

Awesome!!! Zig is the best! great work for a great price!!!

Let me see where do I start, avenger cycle works is the best motorcycle shop in Southern California, always take my bike here. Zig is the best I wouldn’t take my bike know where else.

Fantastic shop! I honestly cannot say enough good things about them. Prices are great and repairs are done very quickly while still retaining quality. Wouldn’t take my bike anywhere else!

I was referred to Zig by a friend and all I can say is hands down this shop is legit. They trouble shooted the main issue within an hour! He will get straight to the point and tell you what you need and that’s it. Done deal with no complicated outrageous estimates. I got it tuned up etc and it runs better & looks waaaay better than it ever did! Amazing customer service all around. They’ll take care of you for sure =)

I’m glad I decided to visit Avenger Cycle Works for my first service. As a first time rider, I was unfamiliar with shops in the area and I came through because of the great reviews. Zig more than surpassed my expectations :) He was incredibly informative and provided a bunch of pointers that I had been thinking about before. I will definitely be a regular to his shop.

I took my 2007 Yamaha R1 here because of Unilocal.I read great reviews about Zig and his shop. He’s trustworthy, knowledgeable, very helpful, and his prices are cheaper than chaparral. I brought my bike here for two services and have been pleased with with both. Zig will even go the extra mile and top off any low fluids I may have or lubed my chain free of charge. I will definitely be a loyal customer.

Zig’s shop is over fifty miles from my Long Beach residence. But he is the only mechanic I trust with my motorcycle with.
He is always fair in his pricing, and knows motorcycles inside and out.
If Zig doesn’t know (which is very rare) he will tell you, and that kind of honesty is hard to find these days.
He keeps my 15 year old Honda with over 60,000 miles on it, running like it just came off the showroom floor.
He also recently restored my Suzuki Bandit 1200 S, to running condition after I had let it sit for over 6 years. It now runs as well as I can remember it ever running.

Zig is the best. Definitely trust this guy with your bike, and to give you a fair deal.
Another shop gave us the runaround for months on a problem our bike was having, completely baffled by its cause and performing expensive work that did nothing to fix it. After half a dozen visits to that shop yielding nothing but frustration, we took the bike to Zig, who both found AND fixed the problem in literally 5 minutes.
We’ll be loyal customers for as long as we’re motorcycle owners and won’t be wasting our time or money anywhere else from now on.

Very good service, friendly ppl.
I brought my Ducati to there yesterday for tire changing service and fender eliminator installation, It’s done by one day, and every was awesome.

Been going to avengers for five years good service great prices alway willing to go the extra mile zig can just change your oil like dealerships do but he give the hole bike a once over and lets you know what need to be done now and what can wait he is the only one who work on mine and my wifes bike other then myself

Love this place! Great quality service.
Zig is one of the best guys out there. Not to mention he’s a very knowledgeable when it comes to any kind of bike! Never gives you any bull and always does quality work.
He’ll always give you tips and goes out of his way to let you know what’s going on. By far the best service I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t get my bike serviced anywhere else.
Oh, and he has the best rates in town. :)
