About Smitty’s Motorsports

Smitty’s is committed to giving our customers the highest quality workmanship, parts, and service at an affordable price. With combined professional experience of over 50 years in the industry, if it travels through sand, land, water, or pavement, we can fix it!

Jason Smith and Melody Souther are the founders and owners of Smitty’s Motorsports. With the best technicians in town and our shop mascot, Bentley we’d like to invite you to meet the team.

Meet Jason Smith (Co-Owner & Head Technician)

A life-long automotive enthusiast, Jason has worked on just about everything twice!

After completing three years of automotive training he attended the Motorcycle Mechanic Institute (MMI), with an emphasis on Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, watercraft, and snowmobiles. Jason’s professional career has provided him with an opportunity to complete the highest levels of factory training with Honda, Yamaha, and Dynojet. He has been awarded top technician multiple years in a row by Honda and Yamaha.

Jason saw an opportunity to serve motorsport and recreational vehicle owners with a one-stop shop that gives great customer service, quality parts and fluids, and timely repairs. He brought that vision to life when he founded Smitty’s Motorsports with co-owner Melody Souther.

Today you’ll find Jason working hard putting all his experience and attention to detail to work for you — not just as an owner, but as our head technician.

 

I was driving in from out of town and they were accommodating to my schedule. Clean shop, professional staff, and excellent work done.

Amazing service from an all over great mechanic.  He was able to diagnose and fix a problem with my Yamaha V-Star that even the dealership couldn’t find! Very easy to work with responsive as well.

Adam F

Jason quickly engenders trust, and with good reason. His no bs approach to the issues concerning my bike and the more then reasonable costs have ensured I will be a lifetime Smitty’s Motorsports customer. My sincerest thanks Jason

David E

Great service! I will also take my vehicles to Smitty’s. So hard to find someone to trust and I trust them.

Meet Melody
Meet MelodyCo-Owner & Office Manager
Step into Smitty Motorsports office and you’ll find co-owner Melody behind the desk hard at work making sure that the technicians have what they need, customers are getting amazing service, and the shop is running smooth.

Melody is our parts wizard. Her greatest skill is the ability to track down parts for any bike. Where other shops might give up, she’s scoured the world for discontinued parts for older bikes or specialty parts and is always successful in getting what is needed.

As a stay-at-home mom for over 20 years, Melody was excited to partner with Jason and spend time helping other people enjoy a hobby she also loves. You’ll find Melody riding her Suzuki LT-Z400 Quad or Honda XR100 dirt bike on her days off.

If you need something, Melody is your first stop. So drop into the office and say hi the next time you are at Smitty’s Motorsports!

Meet Chad
Meet ChadTechnician
Chad was born in NW Montana and grew up exploring the outdoors and riding on anything with wheels. His love for the outdoors and fascination with 3-wheelers, motorbikes, and quads started as a hobby but has led to a career as one of Smitty’s amazing technicians.

While in Montana, Chad began fixing and repairing his vehicles and those of friends and family. He always seemed to know exactly what to do to get things running smoothly and get his customers back to enjoying their bikes and ATVs.

In 2019, Chad brought all his skills and knowledge with him when he moved to Oregon to join the Smitty’s Motorsports team. He’s currently hard at work doing what he does best, getting our customers back out riding!

Meet Bentley
Meet BentleySmittyʻs Constant Companion
Bentley is Smitty’s Motorsports constant companion — joining the shop in February 2023. He loves being around all his “guys” at the shop, and nothing makes him happier than attention.

We’re pretty sure some of our customers stop by just to see Bentley. But we don’t mind. He loves everyone, is our shop mascot, and is the friendliest greeter around.

Bentley is a Golden Retriever who celebrated his first birthday in December 2023.
