  • "Do NOT BRING YOUR BIKE HERE! The owner is rude and takes no responsibility for his employees’ bad work."
  • "After leaving it for a few days... my chain was dry, and post the tune up my gears are clicking which has never happened before."

Quality of Service

Pros:

  • "I got my Brakes done which I foolishly broke while fixing them myself and I also had a read flat tire which is very bothersome as on a e bike it gets very tedious to repair but Chris did a wonderful job in very little time."
  • "Chris is an exceptional wizard of bikes and he knows all ins and outs of it."

  • "The work was phenomenal and the pricing was very fair."

Cons:

  • "Gotta say, it's the worst bike I've ever purchased, but can't really complain given its low price point."
  • "They quickly changed the brakes while I was standing there (and put mountain bike brakes on my road bike)."
  • "I would rate zero but can't, just horrible service."
  • "We took 5 bikes to the library park, when we get there one the axe was twisted and another bike got flat, we walk all back 40 min to the store because they could not replace the bike, didn't even compensate us."
  • "Dropped my bike off here to get a tune up and replace a damaged tire... It ended up taking 6 days for them to replace the tire."
  • "I paid for new parts half of them weren't even installed or not properly."
  • "So, this shop couldn't even fix a simple brake oil issue. They didn't know what they were doing; in my case, they tried to fill the brake oil through a screw hole, not the oil inlet, leaving my brake broken (and oily)."
