Excellent Service at Trek San Marcos!…read more I brought my bike into Trek San Marcos with a few issues, and they ultimately took such great care of me and my bike. There were a couple of little timing glitches along the way, but the end result was absolutely worth it--the bike was completed perfectly and came back with all of the improvements it needed. Wendy, the manager, was absolutely wonderful. She was so kind, professional, and easy to work with, and she handled everything with such ease. Chelsea, the service mechanic who worked on my bike, did a fantastic job, and Natalie was also very helpful throughout the process. What really impressed me was that they even took the time after hours to make sure I could get my bike back with everything completed properly. That level of care really says something about the people who work there. Overall, I'm very happy with my experience. Trek San Marcos has some truly great people on their team, and I really appreciate everyone who took the time to get my bike right. Thank you, Trek San Marcos!

Upon drop off of a rim and hub for a wheel build, I explained I had left it at Bike Bling in Escondido for six weeks. Bling kept giving me the run around. The guy there finally told me he didn't know how to figure out the spoke length. I explained this to the young lady working the counter at Trek, she said this build was no problem for them, she said they had a girl there who's the wheel guru. Four hours after drop off, I received a call from Trek, my wheel was built! That is outstanding 5 star service! Thank you Trek North County!

I love this place. I bought my first Ebike from them in 2021. It got stolen so I bought a cool…read morelooking red Kabbit from them about 2 months later. Cool looking bike with tons of little issues. It always had a flat, so I learned to change those . And I think i was in the shop once a month getting new breaks. So, I got a chance to get to know a few of the guys. Rob, who is a really chill swarthy young man in his early to mid twenties. This young man named Mark who was a extremely friendly young Mexican man who has moved on to becoming an Emt i believe. Any repair big or small they have completed ASAP, they're always professional and friendly to everyone who walks into those doors. And they are great with communication and calling. With my current Ebike, because the kabbit had a wiring issue and had a little fire, UNDER MY SEAT‍. I returned to Alan's because I knew id get a fair price for a decent bike. Sure enough Rob hooked me up with the Ava Big Sur, literally the first one they built out the box. I love this bike and I cant say enough good things. Well, there haven't been many problems but 3 big ones. This is to be expected because my bike is my transportation. So 365 this bike is on the road.​ first there was a wiring issue and the owner himself rewired my whole bike (2 year warranty FTW), then this time last year I was having throttle issues so we swapped that out for like 60 bucks, now its the controller which is funny because I told Rob I think the controller needs to be replaced with the throttle (you cant see me but im shaking my fist jk). All these repairs combined the big issue was the wait. If you could imagine suddenly youre walking 7 miles in the rain at 4am to work. But thats not their fault. Sadly they dont have the wearhouse from Indiana Jones so they dont have every part to every bike. I understand this is a long review, but I feel ppl only talk about when theyre mad. Never give flowers. So to Alan's Bike shop, personally, thank you for your years of fantastic service and amazing staff.

I wasn't going to leave a review, my bike needed to come back twice after my initial service, as…read moretheir quality control seems to be a little lacking, but when their employees (owner?) had to make unnecessary, snarky comments, on my way out, I changed my mind on letting others know about my experience. Background: The week before 4th of July, I needed my rear brakes bled on my mountain bike, as I wanted to ride it in the Oceanside bike parade. The local bike shops near me had no availability, likely because the thousands of other riders in the area, also needed some service before the event. I called Omega, which is about a 20 minute drive for me, and they confirmed they could accommodate me. After putting a lot of road miles on my bike last year, I figured there would be some other items needing to be addressed. Regarding the rear brakes, they said they needed to replace the rear caliper, not just bleed the brakes. Omega then messaged me and said the chain was stretched beyond its service specs, and I approved the replacement. Then came a message saying shifters needed to be degreased, and one adjusted. Also, the rear tire was older and they also recommended replacing it. Cool, approved. Then a call saying the rear cassette should be replaced, as the teeth on it were also worn beyond spec. My $65 brake bleed was now a $400 bill, but again, I put thousands of road miles on it last year, and as this was a high end bike when I bought it 15 or 16 years ago, I'm OK with spending some money on it. Fast forward to picking it up a few days later. I didn't bother test riding it in the parking lot, as I trusted they did that, so I took the front tire off and put it in my hatchback. The next day, I go to ride it for the bike parade, and immediately found that while pedaling, it's making all sorts of grinding noise, and the chain is frequently jumping off the front sprocket. Note, I had no drivetrain issues before bringing it in, it shifted well and always stayed in the gear I put it in. The bike parade was a slow, 5mph ride, all of 7 miles round trip, so I dealt with it. After the holiday weekend, I brought it back to Omega, let them know what was going on, and left it with them. They called and let me know one of the front chainrings was worn, and needed to be replaced. OK, odd that this wasn't noticed while they were doing all of the other drivetrain work, but I approved it, and some new grips to replace my original ones that were getting sticky. I picked up the bike, again removed the front wheel to fit it in my car, and brought it home. Right after pickup, the family took a vacation, so while a few weeks passed, zero miles were put on the bike. The day after I got back in town, I go to ride the bike, and it has the exact same issues as it did when I brought it in the last time! I bring it back to Omega, leave it with them, and they message me later in the day that the rear hub was loose, and that there was a broken chain link (again, this was a brand new chain that they installed 7 miles ago, and they were the only one who touched the rear hub with all the work they did). When I went to pickup the bike, there was no apology, and furthermore, Mark, who I believe is the owner, made comments that the chain was very dirty. I reiterated that the bike had literally been ridden 6 or 7 miles on the road since the first service, when it was replaced, so I'm not sure how that would be. The woman who works the counter also had to chime in with some comment about the chain being dirty as I was walking out. I don't even know what that would have to do with anything as they said the issue was a broken link and lose hub! Reading the other below average reviews shows others have dealt with their rudeness as well. As such, I won't be returning, nor can I recommend this shop.

I posted this a week ago and took it down, deciding to give Marc the benefit of the doubt. But a…read moreweek later, he has not responded to any (multiple) communications, so here it is. This Bike Shop has closed (both of them)! First, I have purchased a few High End Bikes from Marc previously and while he's a little prickly, his advice has always been sound, if not a little off-putting. Even years ago it was hard to tell if the shop was going to be open or closed, so you had to call and make arrangements ahead of going there. It was one of those places where advice was good, but customer service was always lacking. Now, if you go to the old website it links to a new site called Seven24 Bicycles. The new website lists some pretty attractive bikes at very good prices, but it fails to mention that these are all old models that he's attempting to move on to clear out his stock from the stores. This presents two issues: - The shop is no longer listed as a dealer for the bikes he sells. Not sure if these bikes come backed by any manufacturers warrantee. I seriously doubt that any of the manufacturers will warrantee a 2021 model first sold in 2026. I'd confirm my suspicions with the owner, but he refuses to answer any calls, emails, or texts. - Marc (the owner) is very difficult to get in touch with, if you call it says to email, if you email he replies saying to text. Took a few attempts, but finally got in touch with him. Made arrangement to meet him at a non-retail facility on a Friday after he said it was the best day to meet up. Friday morning as we were in route, he cancelled on us and said we'd need to meet on Sunday. Sunday morning we drive to his "warehouse" (30+ minutes each way) and he's a NO SHOW! Waited a half hour and called and texted with no response, I have called, texted for a week now, he refuses to respond. We ended up buying one bike from Trek there in San Marcos and one from REI in San Diego. Don't bother with this guy, it's a waste time your time. It's pretty clear he doesn't need customers.
