    Dude went above and beyond to make sure I got my repaired e-bike on time. Solid work, sweet and legendary cats.

    Had a great experience with Chris fixing up our bikes quick and on the spot! His wife is awesome as well! Great spot for a tune up!

    Very cool up-and-coming bike shop. I accidentally damaged my new road bike on a group ride that…read moreleft from Second Chance after hours. One their mechanics stopped the ride to help me. Performed a quick fix to get me back without causing more damage, then re-opened the shop so I could leave my bike to be repaired. By the following afternoon they had replaced/repaired the broken drivetrain components and had the bike in better working order than when I first brought it home. Lightning fast. The really kicker is they only charged me $25 for all of it. Parts and service. I don't really leave reviews on businesses. But the quality, speed and affordability of the entire ordeal was unparalleled. Had to say something

    Second Chance Bikes has a great mission, and I appreciate the work they do to make bicycles more…read moreaccessible to the community. Their prices were reasonable, and we ultimately did purchase a bike from them because we wanted to support their organization. Unfortunately, the customer service experience was disappointing. Throughout our visit, we felt rushed, and it seemed as though our basic questions were more of an inconvenience than an opportunity to help customers make an informed purchase. We left feeling that customer service was not a priority. While I respect and support their mission, there are several bike shops in the Charleston area that provide much better customer service and take the time to answer questions and assist customers. A great mission and fair prices are important, but so is treating customers with patience and respect.

    I had trouble with hard shifting on my rear derailleur on my Trek bike. I tried to fix it myself…read moreand misrouted the cable, making it worse. Trek bike fixed it while I waited and let me watch them so I could see the proper routing of the cables. They are the best!!!

    I have been coming to Bilda Bike on King St. for maintenance on my Marin hybrid over the last three…read moreyears (first couple of times were at the old location). On every visit, they have repaired the problem and have never tried to upsell me on some other aspect of the bike. The last visit has given me a reason to take the next step and write a comment as their customer service was outstanding. Through a mutual miscommunication, the wrong replacement tire was ordered and placed on my bike. I only noticed this about five weeks later, and went in hoping they might switch for the desired tire with some discount for the replacement. Dan, the owner of the shop apologized and went much further than I had expected in ensuring my satisfaction in the overall experience. In 2026, to have this kind of old school (i.e., proper) customer service is rather exceptional. This kind of service requires customer loyalty in response. I will always come to Dan for repairs and future purchases. I heartily recommend that anyone who needs bicycle repairs do the same.
