Shop of the Month Showdown
May 4th, 2009 - Three scooter shops have been nominated to duke it out for Scooter-News' June Shop of the Month contest. For the entire month of May our readers will vote on their favorite shop to determine who is "June Shop of the Month." In case you didn't see, the voting is located over on the left column.
First up is Scoot Over from Tuscan, AZ. They are a shop that is exclusive to scooters and they carry Genuine, KYMCO, and SYM models. Our reader who nominated ScootOver stated that he had bought several scooters from the shop and received nothing but the best service over the course of many years. When this reader was looking for a vintage back up bike, Scoot Over was even nice enough to recommend a used bike that wasn't even sold by the shop just because it was a better fit for the customer.
Secondly is Scoot Richmond in Richmond, VA. Scoot Richmond is central VA's only full service scooter and moped shop/showroom and it shows. Our reader who nominated Scoot Richmond is a self proclaimed "newbie" and had nothing but good things to say about the knowledge and patience bestowed by the Scoot Richmond staff while helping him pick out his new scooter. Lines that Scoot Richmond carry include Genuine, Tomos, Sachs, and SYM.
Last but not least is Magic City Scooters in Birmingham, AL. Magic City carries Genuine and KYMCO scooters and according to our reader who nominated the shop, they have a knack for wrenching on both modern and vintage bikes. Apparently having a knack for wrenching doesn't necessarily mean a high hourly rate, as Magic City's repair rates are very reasonable. Speaking of knacks, Magic City has also been critical in organizing the local scooter scene by hosting local rides and cookouts throughout the year.
Do you have any experieces with the above shops? If so let them be known and vote for Scooter-News.com's "June Shop of the Month."
