RideMentor

RideMentor is a motorcycle garage and a nationwide directory of shops in one app. Keep a dated record of your bike, get weekly NHTSA safety recall checks, and find a mechanic, instructor, or storage spot near you. The directory, the marketplace, recall alerts, and the basic garage are free, and there are no booking fees. YOUR GARAGE, ON THE RECORD Add your motorcycle with photos, VIN, and mileage. Log every service in seconds: oil and filter, chain and sprockets, brakes, valve checks, coolant, or anything else, with the date, mileage, cost, line items, and your own notes. Group several jobs under one shop visit, keep a list of the accessories you have added, and see total spend at a glance. Create a private share link so a buyer, a mechanic, or a riding buddy can see the bike's photos, specs, and full history with no login, and switch it off whenever you like. RECALL ALERTS, MATCHED TO YOUR VIN Add your VIN and RideMentor checks it against open NHTSA safety recalls, then keeps checking every week. If a new campaign covers your motorcycle you get a notification with the component, the summary, and the fix. Always free. GARAGE PLUS: THE FACTORY SCHEDULE, TRACKED TO THE MILE Link a bike to its model. For models with a verified factory schedule, the maintenance chart from the official owner's manual becomes live reminders at the printed intervals; other models start from general intervals you can adjust. A guided setup anchors every interval by date and mileage. Log an odometer check-in and every due date recalculates in miles and months, whichever comes first. Set registration, inspection, and insurance renewals once and each rolls forward when you mark it done. Upload a shop invoice or a gear receipt, or hand your shop an upload link, and the vendor, date, line items, and costs are read out for you to review before anything is saved. Open the official owner's manual for supported models, and keep every motorcycle you own in one garage. Garage Plus is an optional subscription managed at ridementor.com. FIND A SHOP YOU CAN TRUST Search thousands of listings across 14 categories: mechanics, towing, dealerships, storage, detailing, gear, parts, rentals, instructors, insurance, touring, clubs, custom builds, and self-serve washes. Tap Near Me to sort by distance, browse the map, and filter to Verified businesses whose owners have claimed their listing. Verified businesses that take bookings do it in the app: pick a service, choose an open time, and it is confirmed on the spot, with a calendar file and a message thread for the details. Independent pros, from mobile mechanics to coaches, have profiles you can message directly. Payment is always arranged with the provider. BUY AND SELL BETWEEN RIDERS Browse used motorcycles from riders nearby and filter by type, make, condition, price, and year. Save the ones you like and message the seller from the listing. List your own bike free in a minute: pull the details and photos straight from your garage and attach its logged service history so buyers can see how it was cared for. No listing fees, no commission. MESSAGE THE SHOP DIRECTLY Every booking carries its own conversation with the business, so questions about gear, timing, or what to bring go straight to the people doing the work. Independent pros and marketplace sellers get the same thread from their profile or listing. Replies arrive as push notifications, and every conversation is in the Inbox tab. EVERY BIKE, BY THE BOOK Look up a model for its NHTSA recall history and preview its verified factory maintenance intervals; the full schedule is part of Garage Plus. Compare models side by side in the Matrix. FOR SHOPS AND INSTRUCTORS Claim your listing or create a profile, list services with flat or hourly pricing, set weekly hours and blackout dates, and take bookings and messages for free.
