Dennis is the most legit guy ever. My son was completely stuck with a broken front wheel and axle. Nobody could find him the parts or get a response from multiple vendors. We almost gave up and bought a new ebike. This went on for over a month. I walked in to ask if he could get some parts and he did a quick assessment on the damage. Dennis fixed the wheel, put all new bearings and lubrication, fabricated a solid axle(not hollow, which was OEM), changed both tires and tubes, and added the Tannis Armour tire liner to the tires. He did this all in front of me as a walk-in while we chatted. Took him like 20 minutes for it all. My son is back in business and you couldn't have seen a happier 13 year old. Such a fair price for it all. Dennis will have a large family, with a ton of bikes, as his customers forever. read more

Totally grossly inflated bill. I better buy another bike than repairing my bike in this place. Not recommended. Not at all.

I brought my bike to this shop expecting professional service. What I got instead was a grossly inflated bill and work that didn't match what was promised. From the start, the pricing felt questionable, but I trusted their "expertise." That was a mistake. I was charged significantly more than quoted, with no clear explanation and no effort to get approval before tacking on extra costs. Even worse, the work they said would be done simply wasn't. The bike runs like dogshat. This shop seems far more interested in squeezing customers than standing behind their work. If you value transparency, fair pricing, or actually getting what you pay for, take your bike--and your money--elsewhere. Fail. read more

Barcelo Bicycles - No battery - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Context: With Barcelo Bicycles, I've worked only with DennisB 2024-2025, during three service appointments (one onsite, and two house calls), for my giant mountain bike. I've found Dennis to be detail-oriented, experienced, competent, friendly, and a good economic value. I can recommend him, and BB, very highly. read more

Took my road bike in for brake service and they did a great job with quick turnaround. The shop is more focused on repairs than sales so don't be fooled by the e-bikes and the fact that shop isn't professionally merchandised like a couple of the nearby shops owned by the "big guys." Dennis has been around a long time and is an old roadie at heart and runs a good honest business with quality service. read more

My wife and I have brought our bikes to Barcelo a few times, and we always get great service from Mr. Barcelo. He is very customer oriented, and makes sure to take care of customers in the shop right away (if possible), rather than make you wait. He is skilled, courteous, very experienced and efficient and obviously a whiz at fixing bikes. He's also honest and won't push services that you don't really need or which can wait. Your bike is in great hands at Barcelo. read more

what a find! Barcelo came highly recommended to me from my contact at Campagnolo. i had a shift cable snap on me and needed a quick, reliable turnaround. this shop is a campy paradise! i don't trust my bike at a shop that doesn't do a lot of Campy work, and i'm riding Ekar a lot of miles so i get allllll of the wear and tear issues eventually. Dennis knows his stuff. they got me back on the road in no time, serviced while i waited. it was not an expensive fix, but it was a tricky one and they nailed it. i was really impressed. they even turned around service on a couple e-bikes while i was there! they really are doing it all. stop in, tell them i sent you (that doesn't do anything) enjoy your bike! thank you guys! read more

After contacting many bicycle repair shops and getting the runaround, it was so refreshing to meet Dennis who knew exactly what to do to fix my BH electric bike. Another bicycle shop nearby actually told me to get rid of the bike and buy a new one because I could not replace the current battery. Dennis not only had the battery rebuilt, but changed out the current lock on the battery because I didn't have a key. Thankfully, it didn't cost too much! Other shops wanted me to throw the bike away and buy a new one! These guys do a great job! If your bike needs repaired, do not hesitate to take it to Barcelo Bicycles!!! read more

Quick reaction. Fast turn around. Most important is they don't give up on tough issues. My 2nd time back with a challenging problem. Very reasonable price. read more

I use to be a regular customer to Jax bikes. My current bike gears went out after the first month, and after an uncomfortable discussion they decided to warranty the gears. I always had shifting problems new , and after the replacement. They always tried to up sell me like " your spokes look corroded " " will warranty but with a service fee" etc....I took my bike to Barcelo and they replaced my shift cable WHILE I WAITED. My bike is now better than when it was new! These guys know service and bike repair and do a great job! read more

Dennis, shop owner, is the epitome of customer service. We needed to get our tricycle brakes fixed and he ordered the parts and fixed it for a reasonable price. We had a few issues after the repair and he made house calls to ensure we were 100% satisfied. Then a few months later, we were having issues with the chain. Again, Dennis came to our house and fixed in a jiff. 5 stars for customer service, pricing, quality/ happiness guarantee. Support local, yall! Dennis runs a tight ship and he will guarantee you will leave his shop happy. I admire his dedication to his trade and our community. Thank you, Dennis! We will be lifelong customers! read more

Great service! Friendly customer service. Dennis taught me so much about my bike. They earned my trust and business today.

Chill place to do bike stuff. FYI google hasn't been updated from their old location so make sure you go to the correct spot around the corner. read more

Went in for some basic repairs. They charged me less than half of what I was quoted elsewhere and I was in and out in 20 minutes. Great service. read more

Did a great job tuning my bicycle and getting it back in shape. They are friendly and knowledgeable.

Another great experience with Dennis at Barcelo Bicycles. My wife inherited my old Trek road bike and Dennis spent a couple of hours fixing it up so it rides like new with a perfect fit. Highly recommended. read more

Dennis was incredibly helpful and friendly. This place is a local gem. I will bring all my bike troubles here and recommend everyone in a 50 mile radius to do the same. read more

Dennis did great work on a squeaky ceramic Carbon-TI rear hub on my wife's Cervelo tri bike. Pulled it apart, cleaned it, put in new bearings and parts, new grease, put it back together. All while chatting with me, fielding calls, handling other customers. Fixed a problem that had stumped 2 other bike shops. Got referred to Dennis by a former Endurance House bike mechanic as the local wheels expert. Seems like he knows his stuff. 38 years racing and riding say 13k miles per year. Over a dozen crashes. Former assistant controller for Texas Instruments. Reasonable prices. Say $75 for fixing my wife's squeaky wheel. Left my Kuota for repacking front and back wheel bearings (each have over 10k miles on them without refurbishment). Sorry there is just one Dennis. Have all my cycling buddies lining up to go see him. Thanking my lucky stars we do not need new $1900 Irwin wheels right away for the Cervelo. read more

Best bike service ive had in years. Quality of work and knowledge is top notch. Highly recommend.

Recommended on Nextdoor. Took my bike in and was treated very kindly. Quick professional service at a fair price to reassemble my bike and get me on the road. read more

Dennis Barcelo is nothing short of amazing. If you need a Campagnolo part even the smallest little spring or the most out of date chain, or you need to build a whole bike this is the place to go. I have been hunting for Campagnolo Ekar parts for almost a year, I have looked in Colorado, in Utah in any online service, in all the bike shops locally that I know, (I have been riding for 55 years and I know a few) and finally I found them twenty minutes away. I understand that parts are REALLY hard to find during the last two Bull years but Dennis has clout. If you have struggled to find something stop; and contact him on his web site right now. read more

Been here a couple times. Great experience every time. Responsive quick and very helpful.

Dennis Barcelo is hands down the best mechanic in town. He Knows Campagnolo, Shimano, SRAM...he's got you covered! This is the place to take your beloved bike for big things, little things, and everything in between. He will take great care of you! read more

AMAZING BIKE SHOP. Not your traditional shop that can only fix flats and order parts. Dennis KNOWS what he's doing. If a bike can be fixed, he fixes it. If a bike can't be fixed... He still fixes it!!!! Great sense of humor. Answers all your questions. Patient and always educates you when it helps you. Barcelo doesn't intimidate. Costa Mesa is lucky to have him. Please open a Shop near me in LA!! read more

I had to write this review and give credit to the owner and their professional employees. I went in to get my Schwinn Black Phantom assembled and came out looking fantastic. It was missing a few screws and bolts but wasn't a problem for them. The price quoted for all this great! I also asked advice for maintenance and their staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend anyone to coming here for all their bike needs or advice. Thanks again! read more

Barcelo Bicycles - My bike - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

If there was an option to leave a 0 star review I would've selected that. 1 star is extremely generous for these creeps. Shop owner doesn't even deserve to be mentioned by name. If you're a woman at all I would steer clear of this place and recommend you find literally anywhere else. The last thing I felt was safe. From the moment I walked in they began to talk about how I looked despite me being there with my bike which I needed a new saddle for. Owner had a friend there too and they were drinking alcohol on the job. They spoke to me as if I had no idea how a mf bike works. It felt super demeaning and belittling. They wouldn't stfu about my legs and continued to make unnecessary comments. Again, the entire time I was there I felt very uncomfortable. Charged me fucking $20 for "labor." Just for putting my stupid new stupid saddle on that I bought. Should have told me before that it would cost $$. They had me ride my bike out from so they could see how the bike "looked" and they again were making comments about my body. read more

Wow! Check out my before and after pictures of my hand painted bike and Barcelo Bicycles custom make up! So stoked to ride this bike all over Orange County!!

I have been a customer of Barcelo Bicycles for a few years now and I can only say Dennis is awesome and professional. He not only knows what he is doing he goes above and beyond to make every customer happy. Keep up the good work Dennis. Dave Enderle read more

Came here for ebike assembly based off of yelp reviews and the 5 star rating is well deserved. The people are ultra friendly, knowledgeable, and do excellent work! They've assembled 2 bikes for me now and both times they've over delivered. Highly recommended! read more

I'm a beginner getting into cycling. I bought a used bike off craigslist and wanted to get set up! Dennis was awesome, I could tell right away he was honest, passionate about his craft, and wasn't looking to make a quick dollar off me. He told me the bike was in good condition already and didn't need much tuning up other than fixing grip tip. I decided to spend the money on a bike fitting instead and man it was such a game changer. He explained the different geometries and how the bike and human body should align. It was so interesting. I'll definitely be back! Thanks Dennis! - Chris read more

This is my second time going to Dennis for my bikes. I should have written about him and his place earlier. I can't recommend him enough. On this occasion he followed me to my place, picked up two bikes, and then returned them the next day. Where could you possibly get such service. And the bikes were repaired just as promised. Not only that, but his prices are extremely reasonable. If you are looking for any bicycle advice or just need a tune up, this is the place to go. You can trust Dennis. read more

Brought in an old bike that was gifted to me which was extremely crusty + half broken. The dudes here fixed it up faster than they quoted and were ever so kind. Taking in my sisters bike next! read more

Had a flat front tire at 24Hr gym. Was pushing my bike home and Dennis, Barcelo owner was driving by. He pulled over, took the tire off, replaced the tube, took a small spike out of the tire and pumped up the tire. Dennis is a cyclist who cares!! Barcelo Bikes is my new go-to for bike tuneups and repairs. read more

We were extremely impressed at the way that Dennis picked up our bikes the quality of the work and very fair on the pricing. I recommend Barcelo highly. read more

Called them on a Sunday (no bike shops are open on Sundays) and they fixed my tire in 15min at a very reasonable cost. Will come back every time. read more

They did a great job Refurbishing my bike. I was happy with the service and they were very knowledgeable and friendly. I feel like I can trust these guys! This is the place to come for all of your bicycle needs! Highly recommended! read more

I was recommended to talk to Dennis by another bike shop?! That says a lot right there. So I loaded up my new old steed and drove 40 minutes to Costa Mesa. I was working on my first vintage bike restoration (Bianchi) and needed some guidance. I stopped by without notice and Dennis was very helpful and informative about the various nuances of older bikes. I ended up having him service the bottom bracket and rear axle as I didn't have the tools needed to do the work myself. But the best part was I got to watch him do the work up close. It was like a private lesson on bike maintenance!! All in all it was a wonderful experience and worth the time and money. I just wish he was closer to my home. read more

Super friendly staff and very reasonable prices for their services. I'm glad I came here and will definitely be back in the future!

This place is AWESOME. It is the only true road pro-shop in N.OC, and, in my opinion, very likely the best road pro-shop in SoCal / all of CA / Western Hemisphere (?). I've lived in south LB, N.OC my entire life, and I've been a serious rider since the early 1980's. Simply put, Denis is the most knowledgeable bike-guy and best mechanic I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. I will buy my next bike from Barcelo Bicycles and will always bring my rides to Denis for service. read more
