Firefly Moto is a Charlottesville-based motorcycle service shop with a purpose. Rather than being profit-centric, the goal of Firefly is to maintain and grow the local riding community. To balance business income against making a difference in the local community. More than just another business, Firefly Moto is an idea, to make the world a better place, to be that light in the dark for the world around us. To make more competent and well-rounded riders and provide support where there currently isn’t.

Recent Motorcycle Projects

1981 Suzuki 450GS - Sweet little 1981 Suzuki GS450 came in DOA. Identified and fixed a few electrical faults and added some terminal covers so the bike isn’t so shocking to work on in the future, along with a new signal relay. Fixed the seat mount bracket, and bled the worst brakes I have ever seen. New handlebars and grips rounded out this project for now
Yamaha V Star 650 cruiser - Clutch adjustment and replaced speedometer cable
GSC Rough House 50 scooter came to me dying under full throttle. Cleaned out the carb and now it’s running good as new, indicated 45mph downhill with a fluffy fella onboard.
Ducati Streetfighter 848 in today for some new spark plugs. The sound these make is incredible. Bellissimo!
Gorgeous Yamaha XSR900 came to me for some chain maintenance, lowering link in the rear, an adjustable kickstand, and raising the forks up in the triple trees to match.
Yamaha Z07 came in just after purchase. Ripped out an ill-advised LED under glow kit and installed a new chain and sprockets.
Repairing the work of other shops. This Ducati Monster 695 got a new used gas tank to deal with the infamous tank swelling issue. Owner was ready to give up until I found him and offered my services.
Rare ex-British Royal Army Harley Davidson MT350 in for an oil change, replace seal, and a new battery.
Triumph Speed Triple 955i: came in for an all over refresh. Coolant flush that led to finding a broken coolant fitting that was also replaced. New rear brakes and new brake fluid front and rear. Also put new fork oil, and an oil and filter change.
Had an absolute blast today, worked on my first ever Husqvarna! It won’t let me tag him but Ian brought in this super cool Svartpilen 401. We worked together and fitted a Coober USA power kit with a new header intake and piggy back ECU. The instructions were beautiful and the bike fired up first shot. Sounds and performs awesome.

What Our Clients Say

Absolutely the best person to help service my bikes! Tom at Firefly took care of an immediate needed maintenance that I paid another service shop to conduct. He's incredibly generous in support and even more technical in service delivery. Now he just needs more space to match his passion for helping and serving customers! Thanks again!

Sean Ruddy
Absolute 5 star service! Firefly went as far as ordering all necessary parts for me.. and still had my bike back to me within 7 days. Tom is excellent.. provided me part suggestions at both the high and low end pricing. Bike looks amazing and is running like a charm. Myself and others plan to have some upgrades installed over the winter.. Very happy to be serviced by Firefly; I was driving to Fredericksburg and Woodbridge for motorcycle work.

Great and responsive service. Tom not only fixed up my bike in a timely manner and helped out with a tow, but gave me some advice for when I got back on the road. Thanks!

Amazing place. Tom is super friendly, great with communication, and an amazing connection to have in Cville. He'll be my go to mechanic for any bike I own.
