My first experience with Gerken's Bike Shop was on 07/25/24, when I brought in a bike I had…read morepurchased online to be fully assembled. Unfortunately, this turned into a disappointing introduction. Upon picking up the bike, I was informed that the frame had sustained scratches -- which Gerken's claimed were due to poor packaging or damage during shipping. However, this was only mentioned after the bike had been fully assembled. No one contacted me beforehand to inform me or ask how I wanted to proceed. Instead, the bike was put together anyway and touched up with paint in an attempt to hide the damage. It felt less like a courtesy and more like a quiet cover-up. Despite this, I gave the shop the benefit of the doubt and returned a few times for routine maintenance. I had a rear brake removed and a set of carbon tubeless wheels installed -- and that was the only visit where everything went smoothly. I want to call out Casey by name for doing excellent work on my wheels. He's the one technician who showed true professionalism, and none of this review should reflect poorly on him. Unfortunately, my final visit on 04/17/25 confirmed that this wasn't the shop for me. I came in to have a crankset and new pedals installed. The job was completed the next day, and I went to pick it up. Diego, the technician who had done the work, was helping another customer and never acknowledged me. Another employee handed me the bike, and I left. Before loading it onto my rack, I inspected the frame -- and found a deep gouge in the top tube, down to the raw metal. I immediately went back inside. Only when I returned and was visibly upset did Diego finally speak to me. He admitted to dropping a tool on the frame -- but didn't say anything at the time and let me pay and nearly leave without mentioning it. To make matters worse, he justified his carelessness by saying he works on "crappy Walmart bikes" all day and handled mine with the same disregard -- even though this bike is a $2,500+ investment and something I take great pride in. This experience has cost me an additional $700 to replace the damaged frame and have the bike rebuilt. I won't be returning to Gerken's and I strongly advise anyone who cares about their bike -- no matter the value -- to take it elsewhere. The lack of accountability and pride in workmanship here is unacceptable.

I am a frequent Costco customer and shop there at least twice a week. I have generally had positive…read moreexperiences, but I am very concerned about the food handling practices at the outdoor food court. Recently, I ordered a pizza and a strawberry-banana smoothie. While waiting, I observed an employee preparing food, making smoothies, handling cash transactions, and then returning to food preparation while wearing the same pair of gloves throughout the process. Because I had noticed this behavior on previous visits, I decided to ask about it. I asked whether the gloves were intended to protect customers from germs or protect the employee. The employee responded, "We have a lot of gloves. I just didn't have a chance to change them." That response was concerning. Cash is handled by countless people and can carry dirt, bacteria, and other contaminants. Seeing the same gloves used for food preparation and cash handling defeats the purpose of wearing gloves in the first place. What concerns me most is that this did not appear to be a one-time oversight. I have observed similar practices on multiple visits, which suggests it may be a routine habit rather than an isolated incident. Costco may have food safety policies in place, but policies are only effective when they are consistently followed. Based on what I have repeatedly observed, I am no longer comfortable purchasing food from this location's outdoor food court. I hope management reviews food handling procedures and ensures that proper glove-changing and sanitation practices are consistently followed to protect customers.

Three years ago, my regular cleaners told me that they could no longer work with me (moving out of town). I interviewed a few companies, but Angie really impressed me because I could tell she was organized and committed to providing a top notch service. At the same time, however, I had a friend who cleaned homes and was in need of a job, so I alternated between her and Angie's crew. Angie always could help me out in a pinch and her cleaners are super fast but very thorough (the benefit of having a team of cleaners rather than one person of course). I used her services sporadically throughout the past three years and she always came through for me, even tried her best when she was completely booked. This is crucial when you are relying on income from a STR and need last minute reservations when they come through. When my friend gave her notice this past spring, I actually felt like it was going to be ok, because I had a company that had proven themselves to be dependable and loyal to their customers. Angie and her crew have been my regular cleaners ever since and will be henceforth! The best!
