We were able to stop in to have our bike tire fixed on the way through town. We called ahead and they were ready when we got there. Thirty minutes in and out. read more

Very helpful they no their thing when it comes to bikes friendly and good service My grandkids have always come here to get their bikes fixed or if they have any questions read more

Everything went well on my visit to Off the Chain. I actually went in to help my friend look for a bike for her son. I have been wanting to improve my health and Brian, the owner, helped me fulfill that desire by guiding me into the saddle of a Throne the Goon 29" single speed free wheel. Brian and his staff are knowledgeable and honest. He offered me advice on how to ride and even gave me a lesson on how to fix a flat on my own. I would recommend this shop for anyone who is interested in being treated respectfully and who enjoys an honest transaction read more

Very knowledgeable and professional staff. Brian explained everything in detail in a way I could understand. Spent hours with me sizing and adjusting my road bike and gear all the way down to shaving down the rubber on my shoes to make sure they fit correctly on the toe clips. Highly recommend Off the Chain Bike store had everything I needed. I felt very comfortable and reassured as a new rider. Thanks guys, Victoria read more

Late post but nonetheless, well deserved! Found this bike shop and so glad we did. We were looking for bikes that my wife and I could take out on our local paths here in Gilroy. We wanted easy step through bikes, easy riders that would provide us with a smooth and comfortable riding experience. The guys in the shop were awesome in pointing us to the two perfect bikes by Specialized. We love our bikes and they are exactly what we wanted. Thanks to all of you at the shop--we will be back as needed!! read more

Wow, what a great experience. I just moved to Hollister and called to see if I could bring my two Trek mountain bikes in for service. Brian was super helpful and said I could bring my bikes in anytime. I brought them in the next day and they were ready in under 24 hours. Both bikes were very shiny and clean! Brian also helped me unload them from my car and load them back in. He was extremely pleasant and I am so happy there is a great bike shop close in Hollister. Thank you! read more

Brian and Chris have been so helpful with my various questions and issues on my Canondale CAAD12 switching from 105 to Ultegra. They also offer group rides a couple times a week out of the shop that's great to ride with the community, which I have not had the bike back up and running yet to do ( Learning to do maintenance on my own bike ). Thanks again OTC, see you out there! read more

These guys are the best!! Not only have they been fixing and maintaining our bikes for the last 6 years but yesterday took time out of their day to teach a homeschool group about bike maintenance. read more

Everytime I have gone to Off The Chain I leave there in such a good mood, I just stop to get the vibe on a bad day. I am always greeted by the owner and his minion with such a welcoming sense of service with a smile. Always willing to put customer service first, even when it looks like they have things to service, they still show that they are not too busy to give attention to my needs or questions. Even though I might not spend a lot of money, the owner is more than a little helpful, FAR beyond what is called for as proprietorship goes. Genuinely a good guy that will help, not only the bike community, but the community as a whole. You owe it to yourself and your bike to be serviced by Off The Chain. read more

I had been here before for a wheel once, needed some maintenance after a bit of rain. Also, had a little noise from bottom bracket. They took care of everything with a quick turn around and a fair price. I'm very pleased with what they do and glad we have them here in town. read more

The absolutely best customer service, both related to parts and the bikes themselves... Incredibly helpful while having a wonderful attitude at the same time. Basically convinced me over the course of a few weeks, as I made the decision to purchase bikes for myself and my family, to be a lifetime customer. Great stuff!! read more

Though they were $30 more expensive for a BMX bike tune up than the Gilroy bike shop, I saved myself TWO ROUND TRIPS to Gilroy and 4 gallons of gas. Sometimes a few extra dollars spent locally saves you hundreds in time & fuel.... unless your time is worthless. Brought the bike in one day, done by 3 pm the next. Honest local merchant doing a great job. read more

Nice knowledgeable folks with good prices and great turn around time. Took in my Craig's list bike which while nice needed some work. They had it back to me in under a week read more

Thank you Chris! Thank you Off the Chain! If you need a bike see them! (Well...when bikes come back around) Chris was incredibly kind and helpful. He answered all of our questions, wasn't pushy, and helped me find the best bike for me! His customer service skills are impeccable and hard to come by these days! We came from Morgan Hill and we will continue to go to Off the Chain for bike repairs and gear! Thanks for all of your help Chris! read more

I am extremely satisfied with the excellent service, knowledge and the friendly stuff! Thank you so much for making my first road bike purchase a success, for the memorable and fun ride. read more

Brian has excellent customer service... he has numerous times fixed my bike on the spot..he has also many times helped my son with advice and great customer service read more

Nice little bicycle store in hollister owner operated and ran. They offer bicycle services, Specialized bicycles and, bicycle accessories. The prices are higher than department store but the quality of the merchandise is better and you can't find it anywhere else in town. Bought a Specialized hardrock maybe four years ago still rides great. read more

Im so impressed with this place, they made my 1965 robin hood ride like it is brand new!!!!! Thank you for the amazing job!!!!!

I ride my bike everyday . I needed a new tire and tube they did it while I waited. On another day I rode by, dropped in without an appointment and mentioned I heard a clicking in my crank while pedaling the bike. The older gentleman took my bike in immediately adjusted my bike and fixed the problem while I waited. When I tried to pay him he said no worries and thanked me for my business. I will be back for all my needs to this bike shop. Service and very professional and very polite people to interact with. They really care and I feel appreciated being a customer....thanks!! read more

Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable. I was asked the appropriate questions to make sure I was getting the correct product for my needs. I purchased a bicycle tube and a tool to assist with taking tire off and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend going here for your bicycle needs. read more

A friendly,well stocked, family friendly bicycle shop in Hollister. The staff is well informed and took time to get me matched up with the correct bike for my size, my riding style and my pocket book. I was not pressured to purchase nor was I dismissed. A zeal for cycling is evident in the store and staff. Prices were average but service was excellent. read more

I visited the shop on their new location, great improvement and knowleadgeable people, they had all the parts i needed for my latest project. I love supporting local businesses, keep up the good work guys! read more

I took a bike I bought elsewhere in and had Brian fit it to me. He took 3 hours with me and got me dialed in. The fit is very comfortable. While this bike shop is a little expensive on some things: 'knowledge is money' and they know their stuff. I recommend Off the Chain to any level of rider. read more

The owner of this store has always been nice, but recently I called on a day when the mechanic was managing the store. I called for selfish purposes, to ask if I could have their old bicycle boxes for my garden for weed control/mulch. Without hesitation, he said to come on by. They were in the middle of receiving a shipment, but he made me a priority even though I wasn't purchasing anything & didn't make me feel like a self-serving turd for doing so. He gathered up as many boxes as he had & packed them up efficiently & said to come by anytime to get more if needed. He was so kind & personable & made me feel like there are still good people in this world. He made me loyal for life because of his kindness & willingness to help. I will think of him every time I look at my weed free garden & ever improving soil. I hope his good karma comes back to him 10 fold! He deserve it. read more

I joined owner Brian for the regular Saturday 8AM ride. Had great time. We did 21 miles through the beautiful country roads & rolling hills around Hollister. I was on my SLOW but sure touring bike and Brian stayed back with me with lots of good advise to improve my riding. Owner Brian is a long time bike geek and worked12 year for Specialized designing frames. No kidding, if you have any needs, wants or questions this shop is the place to go. Even if you have to travel a bit to get here. read more

Went in to buy a new mountain bike for my birthday( my last bike was 12 years old). Chris was very friendly , helpful & knowledgeable. I am so happy with my bike & we even purchased a little bike for my son. Thank you Chris for helping us find some great bikes ! read more

Sending out much gratitude to the Off the Chain team : ). Locally owned and operated, this is a bike shop that provides personalized service. For every bike you buy in Brian's shop, he will fit it to you. When a bike fits you so well, it is a pleasure to ride. read more

I came here to purchase a new bike for myself and my son. The level of customer service was good, but over priced. You can get the same level of customer service anywhere else and better pricing. I also felt there wasn't enough selection. The bike owner was trying to sell me something out of a catalog. Sorry, but I have to test drive what I purchase for myself and my son. read more

I've been going to Off the Chain for many years and am always impressed with the excellent workmanship, depth of knowledge, and the fact that Brian and Chris don't just wrench, but ride hard too. An anecdote to illustrate my point... I brought them a vintage Miyata road bike to refurbish. After a lengthy talk with Brian, I upgraded my rear wheel and tire, bought a new saddle, re-taped the bars, and did a tune-up. The parts/labor cost about $300.00. After I got the bike home I started to clean it up and discovered there was a crack in the frame. I took it back to the shop to have it diagnosed (was it a critical crack?) and was told that the fracture was critical and that the bike wasn't safe to ride. Feeling bad that he didn't catch the crack before the parts were bought and the work done, Brian offered to help me find a replacement frame and said that he'd strip the old bike and rebuild the new one without charge. And that's what happened. We scoured the internet for three weeks to find a suitable frame/fork. In the end, I had a gorgeous vintage road bike build by an expert mechanic and the hours of labor to make it happen was gratis. Suffice to say, Brian really went above-beyond to help me out. It's hard to imagine another shop going to these extremes to make sure a customer is satisfied. Now I drive from Gilroy to Hollister because I don't think better customer service can be had anywhere. read more

First off, the customer service is poor. I took in a brand new Trek bike and asked for a tune-up quote. They quoted me $90. I then proceeded to ask about other services, parts and products unrelated to my bike. It felt like I was pulling teeth to get answers. The looks on the two salesmen's faces were as if to say, "lady stop wasting my time." They also had a bit of an attitude. Overall it is a pitty because other members of my family have high-end bikes which need servicing and they will end up losing out. This brings me to my second point...over priced! Probably due to a monopoly in the city but if you can help it, head over to Sunshine Bikes in Gilroy on First Street. They charged me $60 and I even baught a bike trainer wheel off of them at $45 because they were so darn helpful. They were pleasant to deal with and had very customer service friendly attitudes. I will definitley take my husband's mountain bike there to get a tune-up. read more
