Barry and Austin were so helpful! I just purchased a used moped a few months ago and they were extremely thorough in diagnosing the issues it had (dying battery, leaking final gear oil, etc) before performing the first service. Barry taught me how to check my engine oil, and installed a top case and rear rack at my last minute request. These guys are super honest and know what they're doing, I will be bringing my moped back here as long as I remain in sf!

I have taken my 1980 Vespa P200e to Barry at SF Scooter Center for a few now and am amazed at the quality of work they do. I crashed my Vespa late last year and did some real damage so I took it Barry and they did such a great job that it looks better than it did when I first bought it. Nice friendly staff and Spark Plug too, the stores mascot... I will never go anywhere else, I highly recommend this place!

These guys are the best. They have been repairing and maintaining my 2 vespas for me for 4 years. I brought them my destroyed Vespa after it had been stolen and the recovered, and they did a great job finding parts and getting me back on the road as soon as possible and as cheap as possible. Most recently they saved me $700 when I broke my key and didn’t have a master key. They sent me photos of the chip that had fallen out of my key so that I could find it and they could clone it for the much much cheaper price of a simple spare key. You are in good hand with them!

Dude, I don't know what's wrong with your scooter. Maybe you don't have one and that's the problem. Whatever it is, these guys will do you right. Don't walk into one of those hoity-toity motorcycle places where they'll be like, awww, a scooter that's cute — no! Go see the dedicated scooter specialist guys at SF Scooter Centre. I needed a difficult and annoying repair done, I fully expected it to be a hassle, and these guys knocked it out like freakin’ champions in minimum time flat. And like that, I’m right back to slicing through SF traffic, mostly obeying traffic laws, and parking wherever the hell I want. Thanks Barry!

Barry has been helping us out with all of our scooters over the years! After a hit and run accident that totaled my moped, Barry came and picked it up immediately after calling him and guided me through all of the steps to handle the insurance portion. We picked up a new Genuine kick 3 days later thanks to Barry's help. Thank you Barry, Chris, and Austin for you honesty, generosity, and guidance and thank you spark plug for always welcoming us into the shop .

San Francisco Scooter Center is the best place to buy a scooter! If you're looking for a new or used scooter, I highly recommend San Francisco Scooter Center. I had my 10,000 mile service for my Buddy 125 and it runs great! They've handled all of my maintenance and repairs and Barry and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and their prices are reasonable! Thank you Barry!

Highly recommend for anyone tired of scooter drama – these guys are the real MVPs - I stumbled upon this scooter repair shop like a lost puppy with trust issues, having been bamboozled elsewhere. These folks are like scooter whisperers; not only did they fix my ride, but they also mended my scooter shop trust issues. If you want straight forward scooter repair and to regain your faith in humanity, this place is the therapy your two-wheeled buddy needs.Thank you again!

I had the best experience with Barry from this wonderful shop. My scooter was stolen early yesterday morning. I sadly didn’t notice until around 11 am and after furiously searching my neighborhood by foot for 2 hours I could not find it and resigned to asking around. I reached out to a couple of scooter shops thinking the thief may try to sell it to someone. Barry replied asking for information to help identify the scooter. I went to bed last night having filed a police report and thinking its gone forever or will be recovered in shambles. However Barry emailed me this morning, the very next day, to let me know he found my scooter! He looked up my license plate number from his years of experience and found a brand new ticket on my scooter for 4:40 pm yesterday. By chance he looked at the address and saw it on Minna St. This street was familiar to him because it is literally in front of his shop. He decided to try and find my scooter and found it two blocks down still located where it was ticketed at. He thought and acted quickly by putting his own lock on my bike and emailing me that he recovered it. I was ecstatic and hurried to the shop where he walked with me and my husband to the scooter and removed his lock and gave the scooter a good look over to make sure it was not broken or tampered with. Everything looked good but to be on the safe side, he rode it back the two blocks to his shop and locked it back up so I could proceed to call SFPD and report the recovery and have an officer come out. I am so very thankful he went out of his way and did this for me. In the future when I buy a new scooter, I will be reaching out to Barry. Thank you thank you thank you!

Bought our Buddy Kick here and had a great experience. They took care of everything (license & registration) and the whole process was quick and easy. Been back once for service and to add a seat accessory.
