Our
Story
Get to Know Us
Chum Company was built on family and it continues to be powered by it every single day.
What started in our home garage was more than just a repair shop in the making. It was time spent together, late nights turning wrenches, and a shared belief that hard work and honesty still matter. When we outgrew our oversized two-stall garage, we took a leap of faith and moved into a 1,500 sq. ft. space. Before long, we outgrew that too — proof that hard work, community support, and a whole lot of heart goes a long way.
We opened in May, 2020. We have grown almost entirely through word of mouth. Every referral, every repeat customer, every “you’ve gotta check them out” has meant the world to us.
When you support Chum Company, you’re supporting a family. Fran, Austin, Jaclyn, Brandon, Alysia, Cassie, Cody, Derek, Gretchen, the littles — and of course Milo (the bestest pup in the whole world). 🐾
From all of us — thank you for believing in our dream and riding alongside us.

About Us
Fran is the main man on site — the problem solver, and the one making sure every job gets done right. If it’s in the shop, he’s got eyes on it.
Austy rolls in to lend his expertise when it’s time to fine-tune and fabricate. He’s the guy you want dialing in carbs to perfection, and when it comes to metal and welding work, he’s second to none.
And when we can convince Brandon to get back in the shop, he’s our electrical wizard. Put a soldering gun in his hand and watch him work, clean, precise, and done right the first time.
Different strengths. Same standards. All heart.
We’re proud to be Sinister Sound dealers in Iowa, and authorized dealers for Drag/Parts Unlimited, S & S, Baker Drivetrain, WPS/V-twin, HardDrive Parts and J&P Cycles.
When you walk through our doors, we treat your bike like it’s our own. We stand behind the work we do.
