Best service in the DFW area: The guys at the shop are the best. My bike just did not run right. I had my bike at 2 other Harley shops and they said nothing was wrong. Jim looked at it and told me something is wrong and to leave it with him. In about 30 min later, Jim called and said my ECM was bad. He replaced it and the bike ran great. They also did not charge me a arm and a leg. Highly Recommended.

Fellow Harley Riders- I want to take a few minutes to talk about my friend and mechanic Jim Dobbs.  Jim has worked on and serviced every Harley that I have owned and in that time he has been honest, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable when it comes to the workings of the Harley V Twin. I only have one negative comment, however.  I'm still pissed off that he moved his shop from Weatherford to Mansfield.   Even though its a little longer ride for service, it is well worth it just for my piece of mind.   There is not another mechanic in the metro plex that I would rather service my Harley, than Jim Dobbs.

Jim Dobbs is by far the best Harley Davidson mechanic that we have found in North Texas to work on our bikes. The kind of service he has to offer can not be found at any dealership anywhere.  We have had anything from simple maintenance to major engine upgrades performed and backed by Jim.  My Dads twin cam V-twin performs better than any I have ridden. Unlike a dealership Jim will take the same interest in an eighteen year old Evo as he will on a new 96" V-twin. Your bike will not be taken into Jim's shop by a service manager, shoved into the first available mechanics hands behind a combination locked motorcycle technician center. Jim will tell you like it is with your bike. Jim offers the best dyno tuning around the metroplex. My dad and I have recommended The Little Guys shop to everyone we come in contact with who rides, and wants an honest, fair most of all quality job performed on their bike. This is why I will ride 113 miles to have my bike worked on. Jim have you bought your set of metric tools to wrench on my V-Rod yet?  Your customers Doug and David Fisk...Graham, TX

 

 

 

 

 

I HAVE AN ULTRA TRIKE--VERY FEW HARLEY TECHNICIANS HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO PERFORM ANY TASKS ON TRIKES--JIM DOES.  HONESTY AND INTERGRITY ARE JIM'S BUSINESS ATTRIBUTES AND HIS HARLEY SCOOTER KNOWLEDGE IS OUTSTANDING.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JIM DOBBS AS YOUR NEXT HARLEY FIXER-UP GUY!

 I started using Jim approx 4 years ago, I leaned about him thru word of mouth. I would not consider letting anyone esle touch my bike. He is someone who can be trusted. I live in Aledo and I will have to drive but its worth it. He is honest and fairly priced.

I took my 2003 Custom Sportster to Jim Dobbs for carburetor work and starter problems.  He did a great job on my bike and now it runs clean and fast!  I recommend Jim to anyone that owns a Harley.  He will be doing  all of my repair and service work in the future.  He does great work, provides friendly service at a reasonable price.

We came to Texas a couple of yankees .... when we got our 1st bike a friend recommended Jim Dobbs ... The hubby called Jim for an oil change, Jims response was " beers in the fridge " Jim went from mechanic to friend in O-12 oz.! We have had a few bikes in the 6 yrs we've known Jim , He has done everything from oil changes to mufflers to tires ...the list goes on ... he's always given fair prices and quality work ... Over the years we have sent several friends to Jim and they've all had the same experience .. Our bikes will never go to a dealership for service .... yours shouldn't either ! side note to Jim ....Thanks for moving to Mansfield ! Much more convienent !Ray and Deb Clark Midlothian

 

 

You?re not going to find a better bike repairman in the DFW area than Jim Dobbs. Period.  Honest.  Straight forward.  Great prices.  Exceptional service.  I won't

 go anywhere else with my bike.  He has been my go-to guy for tire changes and a complete engine upgrade to my '06 Wide Glide.  He also did an exceptional job repairing my bike after I T-boned a dog.  Jim's THE MAN!

First for my background, I’ve been riding for over 40 years.  If you are looking for a mechanic for your Harley you do not need to look any further.  Jim Dobbs is the owner and mechanic for The Little Guys Shop, he is knowledgeable and honest.  When he talks with you about your bike he will speak with you in terms that you will understand whether you are a novice or a seasoned biker.  I brought my bike in because the cam was making noise, Jim diagnosed the problem as the tensioners and was right on the money.  While it was in his care he checked it over from the front to the rear tire.  He made recommendations and gave me choices on the repair of my bike.  I have ridden this bike for over 57000 miles and it has never run better.  I have dealt with other shops and mechanics and have not been impressed.  This is not the case with The Little Guys Shop, from this point on Jim Dobbs will be the only mechanic that will touch my bike.   When I get to the point that I need an overhaul, it will be in his shop.  He will do the work you want at a reasonable price, and it will be done right.  I recommend before you take your Harley anywhere else for repair go see Jim.

My bike has had idle troubles forever. I took my bike in and Jim knew just what to do, and he took the time to explain the problem! He also took the time to show me how to adjust the idle for future use. I just picked my bike up from some servicing and I am well pleased with the quality of customer service and the quality of work. It is unusual to find a no hassle no surprise shop and I would recommend letting Jim handle all your service needs.

I was in the shop having some highway pegs installed on my new 2009 Fatboy

I told Jim that this bike seemed sluggish compared to my last bike,which was a Super Glide.Jim suggested that I have a race tuner put on the bike then have it dyno tuned.After finding out more information about this  I had a heavy breather installed.Jim then dyno tuned the bike with the race tuner .My bike is no longer sluggish!The way it runs now is unbelievable.Plus I'm getting better gas milage.After showing my brother how my bike was running,he took his '09 Rocker C to Jim to have it dyno tuned with a race tuner.Great suggestion and great work Jim! thanks

Dear Jim,

Thank you for the work you did on my 2009 Street Glide .Placing the tuner and dyno-ing the bike achieved just the results I was looking for.It runs cooler and smoother in all gears and the increase in power now lets me pass in 6th gear without having to shift down to 5th.

Thanks for a job well done.

I have a 1995 Dyna that had only 1600 miles on it when I got it.Jim took my bike rough as it was after sitting for so long and transformed it into a bike that runs like new! It had no power and was leaking oil.Now it is all power and no leaks!

Jim really knows what he is doing,thorough,and had my bike ready for the weekend  ride. I am really going to enjoy running with the pack instead of trying to catch up!

Attention Harley Owners:

 

If anybody ever wondered if it is worth the money to have the Harley "Super

Tuner" upgrade done on your Harley, let me tell you the answer is

definitely yes. I had Jim do this for me and it's like I have a new

Screamin Eagle.. The performance and the sound is unbelievable. My

Classic is quick and no need to gear down to pass anything now. Just hit

the throttle and hold on...

 

I also, want everybody to know that if you are taking your Harley to the

dealeships for service you need to think about that. The Little Guys Shop

in Mansfield is where you need to be going for service.

 

Jim and his wife Barbara run a first class shop complete with a DYNO and

Jim knows what he is doing.. I won't go anywhere else unless I breakdown

out of town, and that isn't likely because Jim keeps my bike in great

condition for me.

 

He knows my bike inside and out. Think about it. The same guy works on

your bike all the time, so, he knows it and that makes a difference.

 

Oh yeah, one more thing, his labor rate is about 20 bucks an hour less than

the dealers.. That ain't a bad thing either.

 

So, what are you waiting for give him a call at 682-518-9579.... Call me

on my mobile number if you need a reference.

 Jim, just want to thank you so much for the recent work you did on my 09 Ultra, the 2 into 1 pipe that I brought to you to install and the race tuner have added some additional power that I was looking for. The extra work and care that you took to make sure that the pipe was installed correctly is very much appreciated. You are truly a master technician in your field. You can rest assured that anytime something, other than warranty related work is needed on my bike that you will be the one doing it. Also anytime anyone that I know that needs work on their bike will be sent your way. In this day and age sometimes it is very difficult to find some one to trust to not only correctly do the work that is needed, but to do it at a fair price is surely a bonus that I know we all appreciate. You and Barbara are super people to get to know. Anyone that needs to contact me about the work that you do, please feel free to call me @ 817-800-6752. I will be in touch often my friend, Thanks again!

I recently purchased an older EVO.Most of the work I did myself  but ran into electrical and brake problems.I asked Jim to help me out.Jim did the repairs I wanted and in addition recommended a few upgrades.He went out of his way in doing an excelent job.Jim did some fabrication of custom parts,found a replacement CV carburator,rebuilt it and added some secret majic.The bike performs and rides like brand new.I have been on bikes a long time in four differant states.I have never been to a shop or a dealer with the knowledge and ability that Jim demonstrated in helping me out.I left feeling confident in the repairs,satisfied with the work performed and a member of the family.

 Jim thanks again,

Iusually dont take the time to write something like this but this time I had to.I was refered to The Little Guys Shop by a co-worker after hearing that my clutch would not engage and my bike was stuck in gear.He gave me Jim's card and said he trusted his work and that Jim would take care of me.I took the bike,Jim took a look and told me he would have to disassemble it,then call me.Jim called me the next day and told me it was a bad T.O. bearing.I was pleasantly surprised with the cost of the repair.When I picked up the bike the clutch was smooth and worked perfectly.I then asked Jim to look over the bike and make any recomendations he thought it needed.He checked it out and told me it was running fine and that he did not see anything it needed at the time.Most guys would have jumped at the opportunity to find something "wrong"just to sell more service.I appreciated Jim's honesty.I highly recomend this shop.

Follow up:

 

I was in the market for another used bike,found one on Craigs List at a good price.Seller advised me that he has several calls and wants to sell the bike quickly.I called The Little Guys Shop and asked if Jim could take a look at the bike for me.Barbara told me they would work me in.Seller and I took bike,Jim checked it out,Jim noted some minor work he recomended  but gave me a thumbs up.I bought the bike feeling confident of my purchase.I later had Jim install forward controls.When I picked up the bike,Jim mentioned he also tweaked the carb.The bike ran well before,but what a diferance after Jim adjusted the carb!I guess I owe my co-worker some brews for turning me on to this shop.

 If you need your bike dyno’d take it to Jim.

 If you need your bike worked on take it to Jim.

If you want a common sense answer with no hidden agendas take your bike to Jim.

You will look long and hard before you find someone to work on your bike who is as knowledgeable and honest as Jim.

I have used, talked with, and travelled to see several other mechanics and I trust Jim’s work and advice more than anyone else I have used or talked with.

If you have a bike with an ECM and it is not running right take it to Jim and let him put it on his dyno.  You will be amazed how much better your bike will run.  You will be all smiles on the trip back home.

There is only one problem with the Little Guys Shop; I live near Abilene and have to travel over two hours to get to Jim.  But my piece of mind when on the back roads of far West Texas or riding in central Nevada is well worth this inconvenience.

You can read any other testimonial about Jim and Barb's shop to hear about how well Jim knows his way around a bike and the awesome service that they do there at Little Guys Shop. The service is indeed excellent and the prices are extremely fair, and Jim will even throw out some knowledge that will let you know what he did to your scoot and to help keep you upright on the road. However the most important thing I have noticed about Jim, is when he shakes your hand to seal a deal, you know you better take care of your part, because you can actually feel in his grip that Jim will handle his end of things. That is why I trust him with the proper care and maintenance of my bike. Too many other things happen on the road at high speeds for me to worry about whether or not something got fastened on tight enough or in the correct manner. You don't have to worry about your bike with Jim, he'll handle his end of things.

I am a proud owner of a 2008 Harley Davidson fat bob and I am more prooud to say that Jim Dobbs was the man to make it right.I had an engine built with heads ,cams,throttle body,timing gears,power comander,exhaust and air intake but was unable to make it all get along.After consulting with a few differant shops in Texas I was told about Jim and called him right away.After a few hours he called back with an idea on changing out my power comander to a Harley Davidson race tuner so he could map out my bike on his dyno .I told Jim do whatever he could to make it right and he did.When iI picked up my bike it was sick and i loved being able to ride my bike the same as my old CR250 ,like an ediot.LOL.Thanks again Jim from your extremely happy Canadian customer.You really are the best.
