I didn't have the energy to fix my daughter's bike myself, so I searched Yelp and found this shop. The service was friendly and fast. I dropped the bike off on a Friday and picked it up the next day even though the repair was actually finished the same day. I really appreciated the great communication, especially the unexpected text update with photos letting me know the bike was ready to go. Thanks again to my fellow Yelpers for pointing me in the right direction! read more

Howard is awesome. He and his team went above and beyond. My son's single speed trike was a mess nuts and bolts wise. His chain was too big for the bike. (It was shipped that way.) They basically rebuilt the trike. And went out of their way to help me get the U Haul pickup truck back before the 24 hours were up. (My vehicle is a small sedan - there was no way I could transport the trike so I rented a pickup truck.) Not only do I highly recommend this bike shop, I commend Howard and his team! You can't go wrong with them. Howard, again, Thank you. You've enabled my son the freedom a bike offers, you've ensured his ability to get exercise and enjoy his world. (For those confused by this my son is autistic and is pretty much non-verbal. He engaged with Howard.) I will always remember their kindness, support, and awesome bike skills. Notice no sag in the chain! read more

This bike shop has always done me solid. All the techs here are super personable, very knowledgeable, and above all very reasonable on pricing per the service thats provided. I just have a little starter bike that Ive rode the heck out of and both times Ive came by theyve had the best course of action within reason to the cost of the bike itself knowing its not a very expensive bike to begin with. Will always recommend! read more

The folks at Action Bikes are amazing. A friend recommended the shop to me. I had been meaning to stop by for months but didn't want to deal with the hassle of a salesman since I'm basically a newb when it comes to cycling. My last bike was my BMX my mom bought at walmart in like 1990 or something. Anyway, so zero idea what I'm looking for except that I had done extensive research online. I knew I wanted a gravel bike in case I ever wanted to dip my toes in light off road fun. I had read so many reviews of entry level gravel bikes, so I knew they were going to be on the expensive side (relative to my budget) but wouldn't break the bank. Some of the brands I read about were Trek, Cannondale, & Fuji. I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon a few hours before they were set to close. Immediately when you walk in you're greeted by tons of bikes--everything from road racing stuff to mountain bikes, and a few gravel. I knew from my online search that Action Bikes was a Fuji retailer. Unfortunately, the Fuji I wanted wasn't available in my size. But they did have a Fuji Jari 1.3 or 1.5. It was on the upper end of what I was willing to spend. There was also a Cannondale Topstone 4. I had read great reviews about it so I was stoked to see it in stock. Howard (the owner) came over to me and we chatted a bit. I explained what I was looking for and he directed me to both the Fuji and the Cannondale. Three things: Howard can talk, he's a fountain of knowledge, and he never once tried to upsell me on their most expensive bike. After some small talk, Howard kindly fitted a test bike out so I could ride it around the parking lot. No pressure just let me be. I purchased the Cannondale shortly thereafter for a reasonable price given the market. Two things I don't like about the Cannondale: the light blue colorway & the microshift gear set. My cyclist friends said to look for Sram, Shimano, or the like. My understanding is COVID may have forced cannondale to go with this type of gearset out of necessity. I don't know. We'll see how it holds up. It's also a 1x10 which Howard said is what the pros are used to but I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing for a newb. But this has nothing to do with Action Bikes. They just resell what brands send them. I would have totally went for the Fuji if they had it in my size. Since it was so late in the day, Howard said he'd have the bike ready on Monday. I stopped by after work and the bike was ready to go after a few minor adjustments from Chris. Howard threw in some swag--two water bottles w/ racks, some allen wrenches because the topstone doesn't have a quick release and he knew I needed it to fit into my accord, and a spare inner tube. Chris helped me load the bike into my backseat and that's that. Painless-- perhaps even pleasurable?!--sales experience. Howard & the guys at the shop invited me to their weekly ride on Sunday. Super friendly guys. I'd recommend Action Bikes to anyone. read more

I'm not sure who exactly I spoke with, but the gentleman was very nice, friendly, and so informative. I just purchased a jogging stroller and had no clue about the tires, how to take out some of the air either. He helped me out, and told me to never use an automatic air pump, but to use a specific type of bike pump. Though I didn't purchase anything, they were great and just nice all around. If I ever get into biking I would definitely come here for any and all equipment. read more

Great service! They replaced an axle on my rim once. They have lots of equipment and a large variety of bikes!

Honest, friendly, knowledgeable. Tuned up my old bike and it's great, highly recommend!

Stopped in with my son's bike tire, which needed a new tube. The guys in the store were very helpful and had it repaired in 10 minutes! Plus they have tons of inventory and accessories for anyone looking to buy. read more

I live close by, the team was attentive with great customer service and follow up the next day concerning my bike. I appreciated their help, and definitely recommend them. read more

Bought my Fuji bike in 2020 and a VERY BUSY time for the shop and Howard walked me through different bike options. One thing I really appreciated was he said even if you go down in how much you spend on a bike please buy a helmet!! He cares about your safety and I have been back for accessories and a tune up for my husband's bike. The guys in the shop sometimes seem to be the mechanics mostly so be patient if you want to work with Howard. He is worth the wait and a good dude! read more

I have been to a few bike shops in SA, but none, in my humbled opinion, can top the outstanding staff at Action Bikes! No upsell, good recommendations, no talking down to you, relaxed and leave you to browse if wanted. A business that gives to causes (as evident by the "thanks yous" from organizations on their wall) this is the type of businesses our community could use more of; looking forward to purchasing a new bike from Action Bikes this month! Thanks Howard and the rest of the staff! read more

Helped get my son's bike back on the road. Did a safety check and cleaned up frayed brake cables.

Great place & extremely knowledgeable people. I had an idea of what I wanted & they helped me pick out what I needed. read more

Took our kids bikes in because we couldn't get them to inflate. But Howard helped us out and gave us a lot of info. Super helpful for someone that doesn't know much about bikes. Highly recommend! read more

Before I purchased the perfect bike - Cannondale gravel bike- Action Bikes serviced my 20+-year-old Specialized Mountainbike and my 30+-year-old road bike, which kept me riding for a year. When the parts got scarce with the specialized, I knew it was time, and they patiently helped me get the best bike for me, which came down to a Fuji GT or the Cannondale. I chose the Cannondale and it's been the best purchase in a while. Along with great service, Action Bikes is a multivendor operation that sells bikes at all levels. Imagine a car dealership that has most new cars available at different price points equipped with knowledgeable salespeople that actually know the products In conclusion, Action BIkes is a Universal City staple that provides the best service and products on bicycles. If you are a serious rider, you should visit the location in Universal City and give them a try! You will not be disappointed. read more

Howard and the staff at Action Bikes really took care of me well!..and they always have ever since I became a customer. Even if it's your first time shopping there or just to look around, they really treat you well and can take care of your cycling needs. I purchased a Cannondale about a year and a half ago and the frame went out. They handled the warranty and got it taken care of. I highly recommend. read more

Howard is the owner and a great sales and service guy too. It is my new "Go to" bike store.

Excellent customer service and upfront explanation of what my bike needs. I will keep going back!

I take our bikes here all the time and they are fair and honest. The owner is super nice and really knows his stuff. I like them so much that I'm willing to drive from stone oak to give them our business! read more

I recently bought a bike at your Action Bikes. The service I received from Howard & his Staff was truly outstanding. Rather than just try to sell me a bike, he went out of his way to explain various bike options and that would or would not fit the type of riding I would be doing. I visited five or six different bike shops and the staffs there would spend a few moments with me answering my questions, but none of their responses approached the depth information that I got from HOWARD. I also noticed when I visited the store and HOWARD was busy the rest of the staff seemed just as willing to help and answer my questions. So in the end I got a great bike and had a good experience. Thanks read more

A week ago, I went to Action Bikes. I was helped by Howard. I informed Howard that I had a bike I was thinking about having a full tune up done on and that I was also considering purchasing a new bike. Howard was absolutely NO help at all. Howard went into a short dissertation about how his shop actually makes more money in repairs that in a sale of a new bike. I told Howard about the two bikes I was considering purchasing, but he didn't ask me a single question about how I would be using the bike, how often or when/where. Howard then went over to get a binder and showed me, rather braggadociosly, all of his bike rides and the distances he had ridden. Wow, Howard! You're so great and BORING! I left shaking my head in bewilderment. I had just told a salesperson that I was ready to spend money at his shop and on the inside of ten minutes, Howard talked me out of doing so. The next day, I went to a different bike shop, had a much better experience and purchased a new bike and some gear totaling right at $1000. Well done, Howard. read more

Incredible service. These guys love bikes. Highly recommend. Communication was flawless, service was top shelf and the work was of the highest quality. Huge gratitude for Howard and his team. read more

The customer service at action bikes is unparalleled. I wanted to get into cycling, and actually am planning on doing a tour of the U.S. now. When I came in, I knew nothing about bicycles and they were so patient with me. I wanted a vintage style Fuji touring bike, and they gave me all of the information. Eventually they talked me into a 29er instead. They really cared about my goals and which bike I got. The vintage touring bike and the 29er were almost the same price, so I know they weren't just trying to squeeze money out of me. In fact, you will never feel like that here because the owner and employees are truly doing it just because they love cycling. Anyways, they took a huge amount of time with me, helping me choose over a period of days. When my fiancé wanted to buy a bicycle, they did the same thing with him. When we wanted accessories, they again proved their customer service skills. Months later, I love my bike and am happier than ever with my purchase! I can't recommend a business enough. read more

Awesome service and really nice people working. Prices are very reasonable and service great

Took two of my bikes in for standard tune ups. The workers noticed a couple issues with the bike that I didn't, and I think they were being honest about these issues (they weren't needlessly upselling) My only complaint is the store didn't let me know when the bikes were done being serviced. I called a couple of days after they were finished, and found out then. read more

Howard is the most knowledgeable bike enthusiast that I know. Always helpful and friendly every time I visit the store. He is full of good suggestions on how to enjoy your biking experience. His equipment recommendations are spot-on. Enjoy your visit to Action Bikes for the best in bikes and service! read more

I brought my bike in for a broken spoke and was greeted immediately by Howard. He looked my bike over and said he can get to it and it would be ready on the same day.

I bought a used Trek online and it had some issues. I brought it here and they named several issues because it was an older bike. The bike was ready the next day and the price was less than what was quoted. I appreciate that they didn't change out a part that they found was not damaged even though it was in the original quote. I also learned that Action Bikes works with charities in the community through cycling programs. Thanks Howard. read more

It was incredible. I've been to so many bike shops and they all continually talk about the $1k+ bikes and about how anything in the 100's is cheap. The owner here came to us and talked about how he wanted to show the quality of all bikes and if we were new, how willing and able he'd be to help. He walked us through so much until we finally found one we liked. I know for certain when I'm ready to go to the extreme, I'm coming back to this place! read more
