My Vespa wasn’t starting and needed a new carburetor. I had originally called another scooter business to get it repaired but they were never able to get back to me to fix it after waiting weeks going nowhere so glad to have called Sarasota Scooters they were very responsive and communicated on the schedule very well. Also they did pick up and delivery which made it even easier.

I purchased a scooter trike from the owner Bob. It was a incredible buying experience. Bob is a true professional, no nonsense, tell it like it is type of guy. His interest in making me understand my scooter was much appreciated. I live 76 miles away and when I’m ready to buy again I will be back. If you live in Venice, do business with Bob.

Bob was a great guy to work with. Understood what I was looking for and the frustrations trying to find a bike. He had what I wanted right there in his shop. I as thrilled. He also understands I need to ship it to my state and is helping me along the way. Couldn’t be happier.

Great service and an exceptional mechanic. I have a Vespa gt200 and it was at another shop for overs 2 months and they were unable to fix my moped and believed I needed to replace the engine. I took it over to Sarasota Scooters for a second opinion and they repaired my scooter and had it back to me all within the same day. I highly recommend them. 5 Star Service

Bob made the purchase of my new scooter effortless. He even delivered my scooter to my house, as my helmet had not yet arrived (and i do not ride without one). He explained all the ins and outs, and let me know if I had any questions, to hit him up any time.It was a pleasure doing business there! Thank you Bob.

I have a 2014 50cc gen 1 icebear mad dog Rukus clone that stopped running tho it only had 300 Miles on it. I had difficulty finding someone to get it running again. The closest mechanic I could find was in Pinellas county until I found this business in Venice. I called them and they stated they can repair it. They picked the bike up for me the next morning and had it delivered back to me that night. I was extremely impressed by their professionalism and quality of work. My bike, tho new but old, rides and sounds BETTER now, than the day I purchased it. Thank you for getting my bike on the road again. You did a phenomenal job!!!

These folks are great!! Bought a couple new scooters last year and the process was smooth BUT what really impressed me is the service after the sale. I’m very hard to please and this place is Aces in my book. Do yourself a favor and get a 150cc scooter and have some fun!!

Had 2 scooters that were not running for 2 years and would not start. Bob came over and picked them up from my home and had them ready and running the next day and delivered. Price was fair and customer service outstanding. Extremely pleased.

The owner Bob is very poor in customer service and doesnt care what you think. I brought my scooter.in to get repaired an they broke my windshield. He has a camera and I ask to look at tape he refused. I said what are you going to do about it. He said it didnt have one on. But I have my friends even saying it was on the bike. I know I cleaned it before it went there. I and many others that I have talked to said hes an a__ hole. And dont do business with him .. now I take my bike to Randy scooter shop by the Sarasota airport. Much better service. I was told before I left the Bob (owner) that he would pay for another if i could find one .he doesnt have the time for me. So next day I went back an he said it did not have one on. Hes not paying. I was hot.mad and I yelled. He lies he wouldnt let me see camera. But yet there was broken pieces still attached to the bolts. You tell me what you think.....DONT DO BUSINESS WITH SARASOTA SCOOTER OF VENICE. THEY WONT CARE ABOUT YOU AT ALL. I WILL BE WRITING TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.

Sarasota Sooters has been great... Just stopped by to look because I needed a good commuter vehicle. Bob was informative and no pressure. I came back the next week to buy, and was just as helpful. Marco his mechanic just did my first service and was awesome as well. Thanks guys!

Excellent shop for those interested in scooters large and small, they have big ones over four hundred ccs that are well there motorcycles. They sell a variety of new scooters and motorcycles as well as used ones occasionally. Bob the owner is a very nice guy and hes willing to work with you if youre serious about a purchase. Marco the mechanic is an excellent mechanic, very knowledgeable and proficient in all of his work. It helps to make an appointment but if you have an emergency problem they will try to help you as soon as possible. Friendly, exceptional service and good merchandise!

I am a M.D. who has practiced in Sarasota for over 20 years. Bob runs his shops with a degree pf professionalism not often seen in the service industry. He is honest, knowledgeable, caring and fair. In every time instance this has been the case, I cannot understand any negative reviews. Since Bob sold us our our first of many scooters, which we LOVE riding on Casey Key, my daughter, now twelve, has called him uncle Bob because he convinced me to but a yellow scooter like her bus when she was seven! Give Sarasota Scooters your business, they will make you happy!!

I own a Genuine Buddy 125cc, which I bought before I moved to Florida. I was new in town and I was nervous about getting my precious scooter serviced by new people. I now get all of my regular maintenance done at Sarasota Scooters! theyve always done an awesome job and theyve kept my scooter running like a freight train for the past 3 years even though it has over 25,000 miles on it! The owner, Bob has always given me a fair price for maintenance and repairs. Any repairs they have made have always been fixed right the first time. Theyve even made a house call for me when I randomly had some trouble getting it to start one day. whatever the problem, they always have me back on the road in no time. I would recommend Sarasota Scooters to everyone!

Bob is absolutely the best! Im an inexperienced rider so I didnt really know what was right for me. He listened to everything I told him I wanted, made a few suggestions and let me decide with little to no pressure. Love my new Wolf EX 150!

Was there today, had service and rear tire replacement. Not only was the pricing fair, they took my scooter off and back on my truck carrier.That is what I call service. See you again for next service.

Im new to scooters. Bob did a great job educating me on my choices based on the requirements I gave him. From his selection, I purchased a scooter. Im now a licensed, insurwd, helmet wearing rider.

Ive had several experiences with Bob & Sarasota Scooter in the past 2 years. The owner is focused on profits, and servicing customers comes last. I recently had my scooter damaged there during routine service. The part damaged costs about $30, and labor to put it on about $10. The mechanic warned me that no one there would ever take responsibility for the damage, and he was right. He charged me about 19% more for the service than comparable service centers, and would not repair the damage they caused while the bike was in their care. There are more reputable dealers in the area who will treat you with respect, and take ownership when they make mistakes. At Sarasota Scooters its always the customers fault. Thats a great reason to do business there...right? Buyer beware!

Every time I would schedule a visit I would show up an Bob would push me away, it was like he didnt want to do warranty work on my 2018 Rx wolf 50 because I didnt buy it from him. Marco the machanic is really good but owner Bob a joke an i wouldnt recommend him to anyone. The best Ive been to is Sarasota mopeds an scooters, best service by far 5 stars all day every day!!O yeah an when I took my 2018 wolf there for the fist service he blantly lied to my mother who drove up there from ft myers an said that he adjusted the valves an when I took it to the new shop I go to the owner told me Bob or his machanic had never touched the valves because there wasnt a single mark from tools on them, an if your a machnic in anyway shape or form you know that the tools would leave some little marks on the bolts!! Tottal douche bags an all about $$ an thats it. Owner is very rude with no kind of respect at all!! Please beware of this place.....

Saw me coming a mile away! Bought my first scooter there....had been owned by a little old lady and traded it in for a newer bike. Got it home and one brake handle fell off (as if glued on) later, one mirror head fell off (as if glued on). The seat has never opened for me no matter what I try (but did for him - after messing with it when he sold it to me). On the other hand, the pod on back is very difficult to lock. Buyer beware!

Went there today at about 315 needing to get something and could not find a soul in the building neither could the other person looking for a new tube for his scooter. Yelling hello walking in the back that person didnt see nor hear anyone we waited about 15-20 mins for someone to come and ended up going to a different store next door and so did the person needing a tube. Place could of been bout robbed and no one would of seen or heard.... = / really wanted to do business but took it some where else.

Spoke on the phone with someone about a stator and was very rude and not helpful at all. No wonder why shops like these are going out because I found what I needed on amazon for 12$
