A true backyard business that works very well. I took my Daughters bike here...badly needed a tune up for her to take to school. Devin did a great job and charged less than i agreed on because he said it was in better shape than he thought. Honesty and integrity are values hard to find - and truly worth 5 stars . read more

Great place! They helped fix a messed up old bike and put together a complicated large tricycle. I highly recommend!

Got flat tire. Drop off my bike at 8 pm. Cameron went out his way to accept my bike late in evening. Fix the tire the very next day. Great person and better location for me. You got any bike issue and want great price and job. read more

friendly home based shop. good work at reasonable rates. They did a tuneup for my kids bike and he loved it.

Hilltop Bikes is a great shop nestled in a safe neighborhood in east county (Fletcher Hills). The bike mechanic is a great listener and completely honest up-front. I told him my concerns and desires for my ebike and the bike mechanic made a logical recommendation and advised me he would contact me if something unexpected was found. Well, within 24 hours the bike was ready and I picked it up. Rather than charging me for new brake pads, he was able to utilize the existing pads and saved me money. The shop has competitive, hard-to-beat pricing. I highly recommend this shop, and will be taking my other bikes for tune-ups and repairs. read more

These guys are so friendly, accommodating, and informative. Our son came down from Santa Cruz to celebrate his 27th birthday over the Labor Day weekend, and Cameron and his brother set him up with an awesome bike! The price for 5 days was incredibly fair. We really appreciate these guys for helping us to have so much fun together! read more

Hilltop Bikes - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - El Cajon, California

Had many choices to take my bike but I chose this one. Originally I needed a flat tire fix but I knew it was going to be more as my bike was not used for 7 years. I thought it was going to be expensive but ended up being a super reasonable price. Fix time was better then estimated time. Even got a little lesson on how to use the gears. Now I'm out for new adventures. Highly recommend this shop and the best part is that is not a big repair shop. Just like the name Backyard Bikes. read more

Call and ask for Cameron he's very good at Customer Service he'll make sure he does the job right

Devin and Gabe took an old bike, stored outside for years and cleaned it up (including getting all the rust off), tuned it up and had it ready to ride in one afternoon. I appreciate that they did what needed to be done and no more! It was also very reasonable and I would highly recommend these guys as the place to take your bike for repairs and a general tune up. read more

Great service and fast turn around time for a basic tube up. Bikes ride like new if not better! Definitely recommend them as I will be a regular for any of my bike needs. read more

Awesome service run by a young entrepreneur. Crisp communication throughout the process of repairing the brakes on my son's Specialized Riprock 20. Will be taking all of our family bikes here for maintenance and repairs. Highly recommend. read more

No rating at all for this place I took my razor scooter to Deven asked if he could fix the tube took him two tubes told him I needed it before Friday it was Monday morning he said sure I will try I told him if you can't do it let me know I'll go somewhere els. so Tuesday I call him no answer Let a message if u can't do it I can come pick it up he text me Wednesday night and says bad news I popped both tubes we could order another i Needed the thing done before Friday. he said it was the tube he lied it had nothing to do with the tube he just couldn't do it he put holes in the tube he said he couldn't get air in it so it popped just be honest next time now I have to order more tubes and I needed it by Friday he had it three days Wednesday night that's not responsible, although I wanted to give him a chance I love to support self owned businesses but that's not how you treat people by by lying just be honest the first time I won't ever go back I'd rather take my business elsewhere. read more

This is a delayed posting. Took 2 bikes over and dropped off 1-2 months ago for tune up, and break pad replacements. Servixe was quick, and still no issues at this time. The kids are happy and riding their bikes which makes me happy. Ill be tsking the bikes back in the future when more work is required. read more

If you are in east county and need a tune up or other work done on your bike, look no further. I brought in my poorly maintained mountain bike and Cameron quickly diagnosed what needed to be done, gave me a fair price, and a reasonable timeline for pickup. He called me a few days later and the work was done. My bike now runs better than ever and I'm looking forward to finally riding it again. Also, don't be put off by the fact that the business is currently run out of a residence. This is exactly the type of local business that the community should support. read more

After driving to San Diego I realized that I needed a replacement axle at 7:30p for a triathlon the next morning. Hilltop was the only bike shop open within 20 miles. The owner was very polite and a skilled mechanic. He fixed my bike quickly at an extremely affordable price. It blew my mind that he was a freshman in high school. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Cameron took care of me on short notice and does great work!

These guys were great; they are literally working in their backyard but they know what they are doing and gave my bike a great tune up.

I'm very thankful I came across the Backyard Bike Geeks. I recently got back into cycling myself having been an avid cyclist previously and found a used bicycle on Offer Up for my boyfriend to join me in cycling. I took that bike in and I was told an inspection would be done, then the bike would be tuned up and/or repaired if need be. The gentleman assisting me, named Cameron, was very personable and quite frankly very honest about the bike's condition. Rather than being pushy and telling me the the bicycle needed more than just a tune up, he tuned it up as agreed upon, then at pick up he informed me the tires had a good 3 to 6 months left on it and recommended a new seat but did not forcefully tell me I needed to take care of these things now. Additionally, he said they guarantee their work so if anything was off, I was welcome to bring it back with no worries. Honesty and integrity goes along way with me, so with all of that said, I would recommend giving them a try. I'm a firm believer in paying it forward and I know it's hard to find good honest hard-working individuals. I highly recommend Backyard Bike Geeks. read more

I am so happy I found hilltop bikes. They did a great job and priced well. i used another bike shop before and hands down Hilltop is my new go to bike repair. Great job and great guy. read more

Had high hopes for this shop, as we are always looking for a way to give back or promote small business. This shop is literally someone's back yard with a "mechanic" whose knowledge about bikes is probably above average but is also lacking in any and all industry standards. Took bikes for a quick tune up and they didn't know how to seat road bike tubeless tires, didn't recommend break pad replacement etc. Had to take bikes to another shop to have them actually go and check the bikes, and to seat the tires well pretty much undo/redo everything else. When I went to pick up the bikes I found out your supposed to have an appointment to pick them up, even though I was texting earlier in the day and stated I would just pick the bikes back up, it was also not stated when I dropped them off. In fairness it may be on their intake google sheets form somewhere, but I don't remember. if you are looking for anything more than someone to put air in your tires and charge you $75, save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Beyond happy with their services. Did a great job on my girlfriend's beach cruiser and fix it up in no time..this is the place to go and the prices are beyond reasonable. read more
