Is there such a thing as a Vespa / Piaggio certified technician that works at

a shop that doesn't sell Vespa / Piaggio?

Absolutely not. 

 

New scooters are always coming out, the training never stops!
We have special tools, computers, technical training updates at corporate and via email.
Never accept that sales pitch from a non authorized Vespa dealer or garage queen

 

Vespa Toronto West One Stop Service Department - What makes us better?

Age really separates us and it goes a long way! Being Canada’s oldest authorized dealer for the full line of Vespa & Piaggio products has provided us with years of experience that no other dealer can compare to.  
As an “authorized” Vespa & Piaggio dealer we are SPECIALISTS in Vespa and Piaggio.  We have full and exclusive access to OEM parts, specialized tools and annual training from Italy via their North American offices of Piaggio Group Americas (PGA). 
Non-authorized dealers would have to purchase parts from us and we do not supply these dealers (hence the additional mark up they would place on the part being sold to you if we did). We stock in-house over $150,000 worth of parts and accessories to handle Canada’s largest market. That’s more parts than most Canadian dealers combined.  
We have all the PGA specified specialty tools to complete any job right the first time.
Piaggio Aprilia Diagnostic System (P.A.D.S.) is a system that is only supplied to authorized PGA dealers. P.A.D.S. is the computer hardware integration that allows us to connect to your Vespa for diagnostic support. Along with its diagnostic capabilities it allows us to remap new software into the Vespa ECU as updates become available from corporate technical centre. 
You can't get this kind of service from any corner garage.

Insurance Approved Body Repair:

Why choose us?  

Many bodyshops will not repair Vespa as they do not have access to paint codes, body parts or service manuals.  They specialize in cars not bikes.  Insurance companies prefer us as we are and authorized dealer for Vespa.  

We are specialist in what we do and we do it well.  Our partners at Sun Collision (http://www.suncollision.ca/showroom) are known and trusted for their paint work on vintage antiques to bikes to luxury exotics.  Their bodyshop also has an indoor museum of restored Vespas, rare Vespa 400's, Piaggio Ape' as well as rare Fiats and other Italian exotics.

Your Vespa will be stripped down by us.  Transported to Sun Collision for body & paint and returned to our dealership for reassembly.

 

   

 

BEWARE BEFORE YOU BUY A USED BIKE!

We have seen several bikes posted by sellers online offering Vespas that have been purchased as salvage (written off by the former owners insurance company due to excessive damage) repaired on the cheap and resold to the unsuspecting buyer.

Vespa Toronto West will not certify or repair these vehicles as they are unsafe for use.
Before you buy, do a serial number history search or CALL US!



**Vespa Toronto West will no longer provide repair services for 2 Stroke engines/Vintage Vespa

**We DO NOT sell parts to other motorcycle repair or automotive garages in the City of Toronto.
