Roland's Motor Works

Roland's Motor Works is a long-established Northampton garage with motorcycle and motor-scooter repairs among its central services. The parts counter supports the repair work with consumables and hard-to-find pieces for older machines. Owner Roland Tessier built the business on mechanical work rather than sales, and the service bays handle routine maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs for motor scooters and the motorcycles that share the shop's lifts.

Longtime riders value the depth of experience that comes with nearly six decades under the same name, though a recent ownership change drew a sharp complaint from one customer who felt the shop was not the same.

For scooter owners in the Northampton-Amherst area who need a mechanic rather than a showroom, Roland's remains the established local option, with a history that predates most of the bikes on its lifts. The current team keeps weekday hours, nine to six Monday through Friday, closed weekends. Because scooter model availability can change, buyers should confirm that the specific model or repair service is offered before visiting.
