Not the best bike shop. Had them mount and balance a tire for my sisters motorcycle. Got the tire back and the bead was not set and tire was half on.

I was on a weekend motorcycle camping trip to VT when my headlight burned out and I needed to get it repaired. I looked up nearby motorcycle shops and Vintage Steele came up as the closest and also very highly rated. I rode there and immediately Josh had me bring the bike into the garage. He noticed my headlight was out as a I had ridden up. They didnt have bulbs on hand but were expecting a delivery shortly. I hung out talking with him for about 30 minutes and when the bulbs arrived he changed it right away. I also had him check my rear tire which was pretty worn. He agreed it was worn but still safe to ride which made me feel a lot more confidence since I had 200 miles to ride to get home. Great service, great guys. Highly recommend

Josh was so helpful and nice, Beyond belief! My 2014 Harley was throwing a check engine light and an overheat red light!!! He was the closest shop. Josh dropped everything and helped us out. We were traveling through from out of state. Dont know how we would have made it without him and his timely repairs. He didnt have the Harley part but by-passed a system so we could get to the Harley dealer 70+ miles away with no worries. After all of that, Josh wasnt going to charge us to not fix the bike ( his words ). We made a minimal donation and were on the road. THANK YOU JOSHUA!!!!!

Ok so I have to say that Josh , the owner is awesome . My gf and I were stranded when my motorcycle key ( and ignition ) broke off in my gas cap . I had called and left a message . He so kindly walked over to where we were and he rescued us . We were at his place ( so kind and his hospitality was a 10 ) for three hours . He offered us use of his home , beautiful yard , etc while he fixed things for me . The dealer was no help . I highly recommend this place , and he didn’t even want payment , just good karma . Please go here , they don’t make people like this very often !! Thanks Vintage Steele

These guys are the best. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable all around good guys. They were always happy to help me with my 72 Suzuki and when they charged it was always super affordable. The bikes they build are drool worthy. Ive seen them many time help someone whos broken down, go as far as to pick up the bike where it was stranded and get it running purely for the love of the ride. You cant go wrong, if they think your better suited going somewhere else, theyll tell you.

I have known the owner of Vintage Steele for a long time, and to witness the establishment and growth of this business has been an unspeakable pleasure over the years. Im always impressed all over again each time I visit the shop. The quality and cleanliness of their custom builds speaks for itself. Photos are available online but you have to see and straddle one in person to get the full appreciation for their attention to detail. For general maintenance and repair, their hospitality, skill, communication, professionalism and follow through is at the top of the field. I fully intend to continue traveling over an hour to use them as my primary motorcycle shop.

These guys always keep me and my vintage motorcycle on the road. I trust them to help me with any of my motorcycle related needs. They are thoughtful, kind, and patient with all my questions. I always feel like they have my best interests in mind when I go to this shop. Besides all that, the shop is a real treasure for motorcycle enthusiasts. While small and hidden from the street, its a real gem and boon to our small community!

Skilled, friendly, and reasonably priced. What more could you ask for?I had been working on a 1976 XS360 for a few months and my aspirations didnt quite match up with my skill level. It came to a point where I knew I needed some help to get my old bike where it should, and deserved, to be. Throughout the whole process, from the first e-mail to the pickup, Chris and Josh were polite, informative, and patient. Now my XS360 is running like a top, just in time for prime riding season!

Definitely one of the good guys, co-local business partners / colleagues, Josh and Chris.Thanks Guys! Glad to have met, and looking forward to many many more years to come Josh/Chris- keep up the good work!

I’ve known Josh and Chris from the beginning. They have built their business with the utmost of integrity and truly care about the folks who come in and out the door. The bikes get the best attention and they will take care of you and work with you to make the outcome good for everyone. If you wish to support a good local business there’s guys deserve it.

Vintage Steele is much more than a full motorcycle service and inspection center. The staff is friendly, skilled and offers timely service. Check out photos on their website of amazing, award winning, one of a kind Vintage Steele custom builds. You’ve gotta stop by, even if it’s just to have a Vintage Steele experience and meet Josh and Chris!

Josh, Chris, and the rest of the Vintage Steele Crew are extremely talented and passionate about the work they do. They combine creativity and stunning craftsmanship into one-of-a-kind machines. From full restorations or repairs to just picking their brain for some guidance, this team will help return your motorcycle to its glory days. Walk into their shop on any given day and you’ll experience their skills, knowledge, and camaraderie first hand. We’d give them 10 stars if we could!

Chris and Josh are great, very knowledgeable and flexible to pick up and drop off times. They are quick to respond to emails and questions and kept me in the loop at each step in getting my 71 Triumph running like a champ. Thanks again guys and have a great summer.

Chris and Josh are two of the most amazing people I know. They know what they are doing, and I trust my two wheels with them. From parts to repairs and total rebuilds; Ive watched them do it all with confidence and creativity. Even if youre just thinking about getting a bike, or fixing up an old favorite, give them a ring.

If there was a sixth star, these guys would deserve it. Always friendly and knowledgeable about bikes of all vintages and types. Not your average bike shop! These guys are dedicated to art and creativity - building one-of-a-kind masterpieces - as much as they are loyal to their customer base for simple tire changes and carb cleans. It has been inspiring to watch them build this amazing business from the back yard to what it is today. Check them out, fool!

Hands down the best shop in Southern Vermont. Josh, Chris and the crew are always super knowledgable, helpful, and ready to take on any project! Ive never hesitated to recommend them to anyone with a motorcycle. Its always worth stopping by, even if its just to check out their numerous amazing projects and buy a shirt!

I really value the work of Josh and Chris @ Vintage Steele because they are no non-sense about working with your budget and giving you the best service at the same time, even above and beyond. As motorcycle whisperers, they have always been transparent about technical details if asked. All that along with great customer service skills lands them with 5 stars in my book.

Josh and Chris are the best, most knowledgeable motorcycle guys out there. Vintage Steele is awesome. They sold me two vintage Hondas that I absolutely love. They really care about their customers, and about the bikes they repair and sell.Very reasonable rates, always have a great selection of bikes for newbies (like me) to start out on, and theyre always ready to help out in a bind.

100% phenomenal service and knowledge with these guys. Flat-out f**king awesome. Brought my 82 KZ550 down from Maine and they had it good to go before I could even make it back down. All-told, zero complaints, expectations more than met and I would not bring this bike or any other to a different group. Thanks again guys.

My bike was quickly and expertly repaired here for a great price by genuinely friendly and welcoming staff. Their customization work being done on other projects in the garage was jawdroppingly inspiring. Do yourself a favor and visit Vintage Steele for any bike needs.

I bought my second bike from Vintage Steele and got a fun ride, helpful and knowledgeable bike mechanics, and great friends in Josh and Chris! I have and will continue to recommend folks to Vintage Steele, especially lady riders. Josh and Chris are welcoming and not condescending to women who are new or experienced bike owners.

Josh and Chris are THE BEST. Took my troublesome Honda CB450 to them from Boston, they fixed and fine tuned that beast into a mean machine. And on top of doing an excellent job at a reasonable price, they invited me to their pigroast party. What a great crew, business and shop. Thanks guys!

Sweet motorcycle shop in Brattleboro. Josh, the owner, is a motorcycle fanatic and specializes in vintage bikes (I have a 74 Kawasaki). He does it all - tune ups, tires, engine work, electrical. Repairs are very reasonably priced - he runs the shop out of his garage so he doesnt have much overhead. Definitely go see Vintage Steele if your motorcycle aint feeling so hot.

Vintage Steele rocks! Great service, great attitude, great prices. If youre looking for general maintenance, custom work, Winter storage or complete restoration of your vintage bike, Vintage Steele is the place to go. Almost always a good selection of restored Japanese bikes for sale. They even shared their pizza with me last time I was there.

Buy a used bike, fix your current bike, get a fully custom built bike or just stop in to chat with Josh and Chairs about all things on two wheels. Whether youve been riding a Harley for 30 year or youve just but your first moped; youll always feel welcome at Vintage Steele. The atmosphere couldnt be more friendly or unintimidating. I appreciate Vintage Steeles environmentally conscious goal of keeping old bikes out of the landfill and on the road. VS is the only Moto shop youll ever need.

Josh & Chris run an amazing shop in Brattleboro, VT. It’s a small town, and having Vintage Steele ‘up the street’ provides locals and folks passing through with a quality of service that is becoming a rarity these days. Quite simply, these are great people who know their s*** about bikes, and will always go the extra mile to take care of you and your ride!

These folks are the best. They rescued two 60s Triumphs that had been in the barn for 30 years, and held our wrinkly old geezer hands while we got used to riding them again. They are always there to give advice. Because they are Triumphs, we are back a lot for adjustments and tweaks, and they havent thrown a wrench at us yet. And they bring in high school students for internships.

These two fine young men made room for me in their busy schedule to sort out an electrical issue that threatened to derail my vacation plans. I had trailered to Brattleboro from Ft. Lauderdale and needed help NOW! They obliged. Here is a motorcycle shop with reasonable rates and a helpful attitude. 5 stars.
