The good news - my bike was repaired within 24 hours and the various repair prices were quoted so…read morethere were no surprises. The young man who helped me asked good questions ad to what I needed, was friendly and knowledgeable. He said if there were any additional charges, he would call me which I appreciated. My repair cost $85 which I thought was fair and reasonable. What was a pain were two things; there is no ramp into the shop via the sidewalk - NOT the bike shop's fault I understand - nor was there a ramp inside the shop - just stairs - so getting a full-size bike in and out was awkward, to say the least. My repaired bike was rolled out to me in the store and the young man who retrieved it carried it up the stairs and said, even though I said my van was two cars over, I'll put it on the sidewalk.' While I am a pretty fit person, I AM a senior citizen and I would have appreciated his putting it in my van.

Labor for: replacing a rear derailleur $20 (5 minutes), adjusting a front derailleur $15 (60…read moreseconds), adjusting another front derailleur $15 (30 seconds). Yes, the job got done but at a cost of $60 for less than 7 minutes of work. I was not provided an estimate cost before the work was started. I would have declined. But, I silently paid and walked out with regret. Who is running the business? The technician? He finalized the work order. If I ran the business, I would have charged for only 1 adjustment ($15). Total of $45 or $60 would not have made much difference. I can afford it. But, it is the bad feeling when I walked out.

Visited with a friend looking for a budget all around bike in the $1,500 range. While the…read moresalesperson was friendly, he was not knowledgeable about the options available, and basically showed what he had, without any follow up questions, or pertinent comparisons of the models available in their store, or with competing models. I wouldn't avoid the shop, but would recommend to ask to speak with someone on staff more knowledgable. Other than that, it seems like their prices are competitive, and they have a robust repair center.

I took my bike in around 11:00 and discussed what my beloved old Mango bike might need. I was happy to hear that, overall, my bike was in great shape. I was advised to do the basic level of tune-up & was told that it might be 3-4 days before my bike was ready. Imagine my happy surprise when I hit a phone call about 3-4 HOURS later!! Woohoo! I went right away to pick Mango up & took the homemade cookies with me to show my appreciation for the quick service. As promised, my 20+ year older bike now looks & seems brand new. I'm so happy to have found a good place for bike repairs! Thank you, Cool Cats Cycles!!

I have a bike with a Shimano internal hub that needed to be calibrated; it would skip when I had to pedal hard uphill. I took to another shop in the area that wasn't able to solve it, they told me it was "bad" and that it would "get worse", needing a new one eventually. I called Trek; Chris was very patient with me over the phone and Drew readjusted the tension on it! They took the time to explain the issue and how they solved it. I will bring bikes there in the future, especially the two that I have with internal gear hubs. Thanks again!

The first time we brought one in we brought it because the tire wouldn't stick to the rim and when we got home to try it out, the tire fell off the rim.

Such a shame since it is a local shop!
