OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT

The People:

Jimmie Martin - owner.
Jimmie's mechanical background began when he was about 14 working on his first motorcycle. He joined the Navy for 7 years as a machinists mate and was in charge of the engine room as a Nuclear Power Plant operator. After his tour in 1977 he purchased Oceanside Cycle Supply. His mechanical background helps him as a hands-on owner who keeps Jimmie in on the daily operations and decisions for every bike that is serviced at OCS.

Our Services:

From minor maintenance such as tires and brakes, oil changes, tune ups to complete engines rebuilds we do it all. We take extra care when working on such things as custom wheels and tires to prevent scratches and marring.

We pride ourselves as being on of the few service centers that will work on just about any bike regardless of year, make or model. We are equipped to do the job right the first time. We even do minor welding repairs on both steel and aluminum.

Carburetor repairs and rebuilding is a major part of our business and our technicians are highly skilled and technically qualified to diagnose and repair any carburetor problem.
We are not a shop driven by how fast we can get a bike in and out but we have the ultimate confidence in our technicians to get the job done with the results that truly fix the problems with the knowledge that your bike will be fixed properly when it leaves our shop.

Our Service Steps:

• Diagnose the problem:

• Plan a repair strategy:

• Build a Cost Estimate

• Explain it all to you:

• Explain your options and our recommendations:

• Answer your questions:

When you bring your bike in for repair we have a plan that seems to work very well to not only fix the problem but to communicate with you on exactly what needs to be done and what it will ultimately cost to do the job right.

First we will diagnose the problem and come up with repair strategy that will fix the problem. Then we will sit down with you and explain all of the options and our recommendations to service your bike to get the best results.

We will then provide you an estimate for the cost to execute the best possible repair of the problem.
In addition, we will always be happy to answer any questions you may have about what repairs we think should be necessary and explain in detail why and how we recommend the repairs.

If you are one who also likes to do some work on your own we will even answer mechanical questions that may help you make minor repairs yourself and avoid some common errors or mistakes.
