Spare Parts Company – A Small Shop With Lots of Character

“You never know where your life is going to take you” and Roland Sotello, a psychology graduate had no idea that he would find himself the owner of The Spare Parts Company. After all, what does psychology really have to do with motorcycles?

Spare Parts Co. was founded in the late '70s, when traveling musician and sport-touring fanatic Franz Nachod began selling BMW motorcycle service parts and accessories that he knew to work based on his experiences on the road. Soon, this humble space in Old City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania would find his know-how applied to the healing and maintenance of the European motorcycles it has specialized in to this day. Moto Guzzi, BMW, Laverda, MZ, Triumph, and Ducati are their specialties however, they will gladly service all bikes; from Aermacchi to Zundapp.

Roland, went from owning a Moto Guzzi and being a visitor at the shop to ultimately owning it. After years of serving as Franz's right hand man, Roland Sotello took over the duties of the shop and has since delighted in servicing each customer's vehicle with his enduring passion, unmatched expertise, and attention to detail.

This small shop has gained a loyal following, with many happy customers. So, stop by—there's bound to be something interesting to see, and always something good going on!
