When you walk into the Chapel, you’re walking into a family-owned and operated business founded on loyalty, integrity, and respect.
OUR DRIVING MISSION
“With us, you’re not a price tag. The moment you walk through our doors, you become part of a family.”
The moment you walk through our doors, you become part of a family—a family who will stand behind you, support you, take care of you, and treat you right—a family who does the job right the first time and stands behind their work.
The Chapel is the alternative to the dealership. In 2015, brothers Karl and Kolby realized there was something missing in Utah’s motorcycle market. Their family mechanic was retiring, dealerships treated everyone poorly, and shops were closing all around. Their parents became investors, and when their father passed away, instead of saying, “we’re done,” they doubled down on their commitment—with their mother standing by their side—to honor the dream he helped them create.
There’s a reason we don’t have to pay for advertising: our customers do it for us. Whether you’re on the street or at an event, if you start talking about motorcycles, chances are you’ll meet one of our customers. Some have met us only once, only to go out and tell their friends they’ve found a new family. Our customers fight for us just as we fight for them – all because of the way we treat them (and their bike) as one of our own.
We may be called The Chapel, but our religion is motorcycles. We ride every motorcycle that comes through our doors so we can give it our seal of approval before it leaves the shop. It’s our name on the line, after all – so no matter what you need, we will take care of it.
Come join our family.
In loving memory
FLOYD DEE BAIRD
June 23rd, 1951 – March, 17th 2018
Floyd Dee Baird, you were a great man overflowing with wisdom and intelligence. Your legacy will live on through us and will never be forgotten. We will continue to bless the lives of others in your name. Cheers to you.
