He is very meticulous and thorough with his work and treated my bike with extreme care. He offers thoughtful suggestions for upgrades and solutions for all problems I had. I would recommend his work to anyone looking to overhaul their bike old or new. My bike came back in amazing condition better than brand new. The location Is tucked away in a safe and secure location inside of a mechanic's shop. I recommend calling or reaching out in advance prior to making you visit as it works similar to an appointment. I was blown away by how immaculate the work he performed was and my bike has never performed better. Please do yourself a favor and stop by if you are passionate about cycling and need a good trustworthy bike mechanic!

Thank you TrailHead Bike Shop, very much appreciate all the work that was done. This will be my go to bike shop for all my needs. Again, thank you!

I came here from a good friend Peter recommendation to pay a visit to Trail Head and speak to Esteban. Boy what a great experience and I'm glad I did. Esteban helped me with my suspension setup and also serviced my bike after a 2 week Whistler Trip. He gave my Glory a tune up, change the pads, changed my tires, and even replaced a Rear Shock Spring for me, and slapped in a new chain. Although I brought some parts, especially some spare Assegai tires I've had for sometime, Esteban will tell you what works, and his recommendations which makes things better to understand and why. I picked up my bike super clean and ready to rock again. Trail Head Bike Shop and Esteban is my go to shop now for all my bikes and services! Thank you Esteban!

The bike shop is women owned, I am in full support with this business, they did a wonderful job and price is just right for the repairs. They even helped me get it back in my car. Highly recommend this place for EBIKE repair.

This is the only time I've been compelled to write a yelp review…read more I recently purchased some new caliper brakes for my bike. Upon installation I noted that my brake cables and cable housing needed to be replaced. I can do this myself and have many times before. I usually do my own bike maintenance, and have for years, unless it's something I don't have the tools or knowledge to fix. In this case I simply didn't want to be bothered ordering cables and housing and decided to take it to have done. First impression of the shop is grimey, cluttered and disorganized. I explained what I wanted done and the proprietor quoted me a reasonable price and gave me a reasonable time frame for the work to be done. Everything seems great so far. I arrive for pick up, first thing I notice is that my bike is in the center of a bike sandwich leaning against one of the walls. Concern.gif. He removes it none too gently. Cable has been replaced, I note that the rear cable adjuster is in the maximum position that you would use to tighten the cable. I begin to spin the adjuster to check cable tension when the proprietor tells me vehemently to not touch it. I wonder why, explain this is the cable tension adjuster and I'm adjusting it. He again tells me not to touch it. I actuate the (also new) brake lever, and it feels spongy, not crisp, and doesn't fully spring back into place. I voice my concerns at which point he squeezes the brakes a couple of times and tells me it's fine. It is not. I again reach for the adjuster and he again tells me not to touch it, his voice raising, saying it twice. I think that I'll just have to take it elsewhere, thank him and leave. Outside I examine his "work," more closely and note that the cable tension adjuster is non functional, and that now there is half of an internal component of the tensioner, a washer?, protruding from the new caliper brake. I attempt to adjust the tensioner. It is non functional. I return into the shop and point out the damage, and demonstrate the tensioner does not work. He again says not to touch it. I explain that it is designed to be touched, it is for adjustments. He tells me he does not see the washer, which is believable as he's quite old, and that he didn't touch that part, yet he would have had to when installing the cable. I'm getting upset at this point, another customer waiting for service overhears this exchange and decides against this shop, telling me "Sorry, bro," as he wisely wheeled his bike out and presumably to a better shop. That was my experience, lesson learned. Sometimes you can judge a book by it's cover. My only thought now is that I hope my rear caliper isn't permanently damaged. Addendum: also noted some fresh cosmetic damage as well.

They gave me a tour through the shop highlighting sections & foci and offered for me to sit at the center table to check out decks. The majority of decks have a sample pack so you can look at every card. Had a great time. Bought two decks. Will be back. Thanks!

I know this shop has a bit of that "cool kids" energy, and sometimes there can be an air of judgment. I rode in on my road bike, which is a nicer bike (Pinarello Dogma) and almost immediately felt that vibe. There was a guy working there he was tall, British I believe and he was way too troll-y and sarcastic with his responses. I don't know him like that, and I was simply trying to ask a few questions and pick up some items. A little joking around is totally fine, but when you don't know someone, there's a line where it stops feeling playful and just comes across as condescending. It was disappointing because in the past, everyone there has always seemed nice, helpful, and chill. I genuinely like having this shop in the neighborhood and want to support local cycling shops, which is why this interaction stood out enough for me to mention it.

I brought in my daughter's bike to fix a chain and my son's strider bike to replace bearings…read more Everything felt good, local mom and pop, every seemed knowledgeable and friendly. I asked the employee if it made sense to perform any of the fixes (aka is it going to cost more to fix than buy a new bike) and he said likely. On the spot, he fixed my daughter's chain and said it would be $8.50, amazing. He then looked at my son's strider bike and said that the bearings would need to be replaced and that he would look for the part and call me when it was ready. He told me it would cost parts ($8-9 dollars / bearing) + labor. Given that he fixed my daughter's bike for less than $10, this sounded reasonable. This is partially my mistake, I should've asked him how much the labor was going to cost. I went home, got the call to pick everything up. I was shocked to be quoted $80ish dollars for the strider bike: ~$30ish for 3 bearings and $40ish for the labor. A brand new strider bike costs $80. It would have been nice to have been informed how much the work was going to cost. I ending up paying more to fix a old strider bike than it would have cost to buy a brand new one. Not the best experience.
