Vespa Sherman Oaks was named one of the "54 Best Shops in L.A." in the December issue of Los Angeles Magazine. Can you imagine how many shops there are in the Los Angeles area? I feel sorry when I read about Vespa shops closing and how their old customers feel stranded. My Vespa dealer is a going concern.

Well deserved! Piaggio couldn't ask for better representation of their product. Congratulations to David and all the VSO team.

I think as kind as the OP was to post this our actual presence in this magazine is they placed the 946 in the gift guide with our name and number.
Happy they gave the 946 and VSO a shout out. Best, SDG |

It's only because I rang them up and berrated them until they put VSO on the list.
Really deserved. Bill X |

So, this is one of those "First I heard I was traded was when they announced it on SportsCenter" type situations, huh? Modern Vespa (via Vespizzare) with the scoop! Well, we always knew it should be the first stop for any scooter-related info... Mark |

When the owner himself (David) checks the oil, and then takes it for a test ride before it is ready for the customer, you know that man cares for his business and his customers. Well done.

All I know is that SDG helped me out with a couple of things concerning our BV250 when there was absolutely nothing in it for him personally. He's a class act in my book.

Congratulations on your recognition in the LA magazine. I've followed some of your posts and insights on Piaggio and Vespa along with reflections of your business and I would say the recognition is well deserved!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
It is very cool to see you receive this acknowledgement. There are thousands of shops in LA. Nice to see a Vespa shop in the Top 54 and I think you have earned it. Great Job, SDG and Crew. |

Not surprising to me. I have followed his posts on MV and have always enjoyed them. Your online presence is a reflection of how you really are.
