About Us

Owner Rich Proffitt has a military background. He proudly served his country in the Navy and is now a veteran local business owner.

ScooterDoc specializes in prompt and reliable Vespa repair in the Los Angeles and Pasadena area. We specialize in both Vespa Service and Vespa Repair. We do troubleshooting, repair, and regular maintenance on gas-powered Vespa scooters old and new.

Rich has a deep connection and passion for Vespas. He feels that they deserve to be treated like a fine piece of art, and this is why he works exclusively with these model bikes. If you have a question or concern about your gas-powered Vespa, then call Rich. He’ll answer your questions and take care of you. Calls are absolutely preferred over emails.

Scooter Doc has been servicing LA County since 2004, 18 years ago. Since then, we’ve seen a number of competitors come and go. Unfortunately, the ones still around are the ones that seem to be doing more harm to the bike than good. We’ve even seen oil placed in bikes that have the same color and consistency as lawn mower oil. We don’t want that to happen to you. Bring your bike here to Scooter Doc. We only use the best oil and parts so that your scooter rides the best. Call Us Now, and schedule a time to bring in your bike! We look forward to hearing from you.

“I had recently bought a used Vespa. I took it to Scooter Doc for a look-over and regular maintenance. I was very impressed. He took great pride in his shop and his work, had great attention to detail and was very open in communication each step of the way.”
