The Owner of KD Cycles’ Story.
Adam Scofield is the owner and technician of KD CYCLES. He’s originally from Toledo, Ohio but moved to attend school to become a master mechanic.
Before becoming a small business owner, Adam worked at a shop as a technician just on the other side of the street where his own shop is now. After about a month of hard work, dedication, and long hours every night, he began to feel very taken advantage of. He never received the appreciation necessary to continue working in a shop with such a negative atmosphere. In short, his hard work and dedication he was not gaining him anything.
Getting Started on With His Own Shop.
So he finally realized it was his time to make his own dreams a reality. After leaving his job, he filed all papers to establish KD Cycles, LLC in May of 2013. Over the next year, worked started to roll in. As he grew, he was able to purchase new equipment and hire on more staff. In the last two years, Adam has hired 3 full-time certified technicians and also a handful of part-time helpers to ensure business runs smoothly. Since he never gave up on his dream, he has had a lot of success for his team and his family.
What the Shop Looks Like Today.
With enough space to handle multiple jobs, KD Cycles is now fully equipped with 7 motorcycle lifts to service and repair any motorcycle make and model. (Both 2 wheels and 4 wheels are accepted). They also take on full custom builds and full restoration jobs. KD Cycles, LLC is confident in beating out any competitors around with quality and pricing and will price match any quote.
They’re also known for offering 24/7 towing with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
The Company's Keys to Success:
“We like to make customers feel at home and part of the family. Bikers are attached to their bikes, so when it’s in the shop they want to know who is working on it, and what exactly is wrong with it. We encourage our customers to meet the mechanic who will be working on their bike, so they can build a one on one relationship. Our door is always open to our customers during time of repair..”
“We welcome our customers into the shop anytime to check on their bike whether its on the lift or not. This is a great opportunity for the customer to know hands on exactly what the problem is and our solution to fix it. It It gives them the piece of mind that they are getting takin care of and not being takin advantage of. Good honest work brings customers back again and again, and that’s what makes us successful.” -Adam Scofield
Words of Advice From the Business Owner:
“If you want to start a business but you’re waiting for the perfect time or held back by insecurity – there is no better time than now. No matter what you think, you will continue to come up with reasons to put it off out of fear of failure. Sometimes taking that risk will be turn into something great for you and your future. Be sure to not jump into reckless decisions, but make decisions that will continue to bring you towards your success.
I took my first huge risk when I moved to attend school, and that set the path to where I am today. I love what I do and I have more goals I want to accomplish . I plan on taking my business to the top and opening more locations over the next few years. Don’t ever just settle to be mediocre or to work for someone just get by. Be the best at what you do and always own it ?” -Adam Scofield
Like Adam, I also have taken some huge leaps of faith. My family and I recently just moved to Olive Branch, Mississippi. Although it’s been difficult at times, I know God is in control. He’s always placed amazing people in our lives to help guide us along the way.
