Book a motorcycle lift and do the work yourself. Your bike, your job, your pace.

Our tools, your hands

Use the workshop tools. Need something specific? Ask before you book.

Help when you’re stuck

You don’t need to know everything before you start. Someone’s usually around to talk it through.

Never done it before?

You won’t be
on your own.

Most riders who come in have never done the job before. They leave having done it.

The manual for your bike. Scan your matrícula in the app and it finds your model’s service manual. We keep adding models.
An AI helper that has read it. Ask how to do the job and get the steps from your manual, with the pages to open.
A video for the job. Every answer comes with a walkthrough to watch for your bike and that job.
People around. And if you get stuck, someone at the garage has usually done it before.

Triumph Bonneville T100 · service manual

How do I bleed the rear brake?

Put a ring spanner on the bleed nipple and a clear tube into a bottle. Top the reservoir up with DOT 4, open the nipple half a turn, press the pedal down slowly and close it before you let go. Repeat until the fluid in the tube runs clear with no bubbles.

What’s on
the lift.

Valves, gearboxes, wiring, paint. Real jobs from the garage floor, big and small.

Every bike has
something to do.

Brake fluid, valve clearance, a tank that needs a fresh start. Every bike is asking for something, and the tools for it are already here.

Pro-grade hand tools
A full ratchet and socket set from a professional brand. Tools that fit, bolts that stay round.
Torque wrench
Dial in the number your manual asks for and tighten until it clicks. Beats guessing by feel on a head bolt.
The tool wall
Pliers, cutters and strippers on the wall. Chain cleaner, lube and the chain tensioner are included in the price.
Brake fluid tester
Dip it in the reservoir and know in seconds whether it’s time for fresh fluid. If it is: DOT 4 for both brakes is €9, syringe and bleed kit on us.
Oil and antifreeze
Drain the old, fill up fresh. Oil and coolant are the easiest jobs to do yourself.
Tyre pressure
Gauge and air line by the bench. Both tyres checked and topped up before you ride out, in about a minute.
Chain alignment laser
Clamps onto the sprocket and throws a line straight down the chain. Set the slack and the rear wheel ends up square, not just close.
Valve clearance
Feeler gauges to check the gaps and set them right. When did you last check yours?
Borescope
A camera on a cable, down the spark plug hole. See the pistons and valves without taking anything apart.
Fork seal driver
Adjusts to your fork and seats a new seal square, first go. The alternative is a hammer and a length of pipe, and you know how that ends.
Electrics kit
Weatherproof connectors, terminals, heat shrink and the crimpers to match. Mend the loom properly instead of twisting it and taping it up.
Compressed air
Blow out the dust, the swarf and the water a rag can’t get to. Drying off the chain and the fins after a wash, mostly.
Bench vise
A proper Record No. 5. Holds whatever needs holding. Your drink included.
Orbital sander
Tank, fenders, side covers. Take them back to bare, then into the paint booth.
Dent puller
Glue a tab on and pull the dent out, without filler or a repaint.
Angle grinder
Cut a bracket down, shorten a bolt, take off what the bike doesn’t need. The sparks fly outside, on the bricks.
Polishing machine
Engine covers, chrome, alloy. Bring back the shine you forgot it had.
Rotary tool
Polishing, grinding and cutting in the spots nothing bigger can reach.
3D printer
Broken clip, lost cap, custom bracket. Print the part you can’t buy.

Less planning.
More doing.

Do I need to be a mechanic?

No. The garage welcomes different experience levels. Tell us what you’re planning if you’re unsure whether a job is right for you. DIY means you’ll be doing the work yourself.

What should I bring?

Your motorcycle and the parts your job needs. Rags, cleaner and chain lube are on us. Check with us first if you need a particular tool or you’re not sure what to bring.

How much does a session cost?

1 hour is €15, 2 hours €25 and 4 hours €39. A full day is €49: up to 12 hours on one day, within opening hours (10:00 to 22:00), with no overnight stay. Sign in with Google and your first visit of 2 hours or more is €6 less, so 2 hours for €19. The price covers the lift and the tools; you do the work yourself. See free times in booking.

Can I get help while working?

Yes, in three ways. The app has the service manual for your bike and an AI helper you can ask about it. If people are around the garage, they’ll usually give you advice. And if you want a mechanic to work on it with you, that’s paid and arranged in advance, so message us on Telegram before you book.

Can I leave my bike over the winter?

Yes. It stays in the warm garage, locked, on camera and under a cover, and you can come over to prep it before it goes in. From €1.30 a day.

About winter storage

I’m a mechanic. Can I work here?

Yes, as a resident: bring your own clients, set your own prices, and pay a share of what you bill here: 30% at most, less in a busy month.

How it works for mechanics
