Cornbread's Garage — Local services in Purvis

This has been edited due to a huge Facebook post made by the business itself and his friend who is an officer in the county comments to threaten to slap my husband

We are not bashing this place nor did we say it was his fault another shop burned down (if you see the Facebook post- had a friend show me due to them blocking us before posting which I have proof of)

We are again only sharing our experience and have been more than nice and understanding to this man during this process (6 months)

• I am adding photos of additional issues we found after picking the bike up, him stating to us that the issue was fixed if the muffler was gone. We again have had this muffler on since the bike was built. We found out that it was due to the threads in the cylinder head had been completely stripped and the header pipe was just hanging loosely.*

The front wheel was also damaged during this process from the motorcycle lift front wheel clamp.

-AGAIN, this is our experience. Do so as you please-

Beware. Do with this as you please. This is our experience and I felt like we should share it.

We dropped our bike off here in March and just picked it up after a long, frustrating ordeal. We have a built 132 S&S motor, and the first issue we brought it in for was a metal chirp in the inner cam bearing. When we were told it was ready, we picked it up — but immediately noticed a brand-new problem. At around 2,800 RPM, it literally vibrated like you were hanging on to two saw saws.

The mechanic first claimed he rode the bike multiple times and never felt it — but when we brought it back, he suddenly said he did feel it. He still insisted it wasn’t anything he did, blaming the muffler mount for being “too long.” This bike has been built for 2 years without a single issue like that. He claimed the vibration was from the crank not being balanced.. an additional $1600 when it wasn’t the issue.

Along the way, he bad-mouthed S&S Motors as “trash,” changed the price on us multiple times, and made us drive out six separate times to bring parts they should have handled themselves. His “fix” was simply removing the muffler. While we were loading the bike, he stood the muffler on the gravel and was passive aggressive, claiming the problem was solved — it wasn’t.

Between the delays, poor communication, shifting prices, and lack of actual repair, I would not recommend trusting them with...

My son, Kris…aka Cornbread, has always had a passion for riding and working on motorcycles since he was about 5 years old. Fast forward a few years… still riding and would mechanic on any bike he could get his hands on. He followed his heart and dreams as soon as he graduated from High School by going to work at Northshore Harley. Not long after, he began training to be a mechanic, attending several courses throughout the years. He kept excelling until he reached the degree of Master Mechanic. Kris got married in 2012 to his High School sweetheart, Marie. They now have two pretty awesome children, Kasen and Alli Rose. Kris and Marie have established an amazing business, along with their children by their side, at Cornbread’s Garage. A lot of long hours, sweat, and tears made this place take off to be the success it is today! I’ve had four Harley’s, Kris has always done all my servicing, mechanical work and upgrades, so I can honestly say that his work is top notch and he is very trustworthy. That’s my son… I’m very proud of him and...

I can't say enough good things about Cornbread and his service.

Started out bringing my bike to Chunky River, and after some foolishness by their techs I used Mike Bruno's for years. After driving over 3 hours round trip and sinking thousands into the place, they charged my brother an insane amount for something that still didn't work after a week.

After talking to some random people about good mechanics, I contacted Cornbread's shop, and he fixed my brother's problem ( minor electronic issue ) for a very reasonable amount. A few months later I had a rear axel shear off, and he was able to save my back wheel which saved me a ton of money in the process.

If I could give this guy 10 stars I would. He's got years of experience as a certified HD tech, he's local, a family man, and just an all around great dude you can trust to work...
