The Motomethod Story

It's essentially about a motorcycle repair shop in Vancouver called Motomethod. They call themselves a 'community motorcycle repair shop', which means you can rent a bay and work on your bike, use their tools and even get help and advice from the mechanics and eachother. They charge around $100 a year for a membership, which seems pretty reasonable when you think a mechanic can charge that per hour to fix your bike. If you don't want to do it yourself, they're also a full blown motorcycle repair shop, and will work on pretty much any kind of motorcycle. Their idea seems to be paying off and has sparked a lot of interest in the local Vancouver community. The Motomethod clientele couldn't be more diverse, ranging from 16-year-olds to seniors, including some veterans and even some grandmothers. With space in big cities costing so much coin these days, we think this could work in many places. What do you think, would it work in your home town?
