I had an incredible experience at Bicycle Pit Stop! Armen was very helpful and knowledgeable with a very keen eye for details. He is very meticulous and thorough with his work and treated my bike with extreme care. He offers thoughtful suggestions for upgrades and solutions for all problems I had. I would recommend his work to anyone looking to overhaul their bike old or new. My bike came back in amazing condition better than brand new. The location Is tucked away in a safe and secure location inside of a mechanic's shop. I recommend calling or reaching out in advance prior to making you visit as it works similar to an appointment. I was blown away by how immaculate the work he performed was and my bike has never performed better. Please do yourself a favor and stop by if you are passionate about cycling and need a good trustworthy bike mechanic! read more

Armens attention to detail is second to none. As someone who's fairly new to cycling, he guided me through the process of a full assembly and made sure to take care extra care of my bike. If you're looking for quality work and someone who will care for your bike as if it were their own, you've come to the right place! read more

Armen is a gem and an amazing mechanic! I previously had my bike serviced by many other local mechanics and never had my bike run this smooth. If you're looking for low-priced subpar service you're better off going somewhere else. However, if you're looking for a quality service that will leave your bike running better than new, Armen is the man for the job. read more

Armen is meticulous, detail-oriented, and deeply knowledgeable. He communicates clearly and keeps you informed at every step, breaking down what he's doing and why. He's also very direct...he doesn't sugarcoat things or tell you what you want to hear. He tells you what you need to know, and that's exactly the kind of mechanic I want. Armen is passionate about his work and doesn't cut corners. When we ride, we're literally putting our lives in the hands of our equipment, and I have full confidence in my bike because of the work Armen does. He's the real deal. read more

Armen is without a doubt the best mechanic you will find in these parts, he is very knowledgeable and his attention to detail is unmatched.

Called for the worker to come check out our bikes. We made it clear over the phone what kind of bikes they were. He said he would be there in 10. He didn't even give us the time to check them out when he just says "just buy new bikes" yes the bikes are old, but they are working bikes just needed new brakes and a wheel alignment. He had a bad attitude and also told us he does not work on our type of bikes. We have road bikes , and on the yelp description of what type of bikes they work on it says all types of road bikes. Just seems like he was in a bad mood and didn't want to be bothered. Update: immediately after this review he texted my husband to retaliate and continue to rant. Look at all the other 1 star reviews and the way he responds. Anyways be careful this man is sensitive and can not take any negative reviews read more

Armen is the man! He's given me a lot of great advice on what kind of things I can do to upgrade my bike, as well as have better performance. He's very meticulous and detail-oriented when it comes to his service, and highlights the different things he look for. I highly recommend his drivetrain cleaning monthly service, as well as his bike fit. I trust his advice and I trust him with my bikes. read more

Armen has been servicing my bikes for 7 or 8 years now. I have both "vintage" steel and modern carbon bikes. I know that when they are in his care they will both get good care and attention. There is nothing that compares to a freshly tuned and waxed drivetrain. His prices are reasonable and I feel he treats my bikes like his own. Thanks Armen - I wouldnt take them anywhere else. read more

I am sure everyone knows how hard it is to find a good bike mechanic, but look no further! Elmer at Bicycle Pit Stop is your man. I just bought a bike from Canyon, and surprise surprise, something was wrong with my bike and the rear wheel would not free spin. I contacted Canyon and DT Swiss, which were both no help, and then brought it to Elmer. He took the thing apart and fixed the issue for me same day. He tuned up my bike and made sure everything else was working perfectly. Spectacular service! He even kept in touch with me via text as he worked on the bike. This is my new go to bike shop. Thanks Elmer! read more

Armen is a rock solid mechanic, meticulous and knowledgeable. He made my bike brand new again. He is very honest about his opinions, you want to talk to this before you get your next major upgrade read more

I have been taking my bikes to Armen since 2018 when he used to have his shop in Glendale. He is a top-notch mechanic who is meticulous and knowledgeable. I know he does great work when I take my bike to him. It's hard to find a bike mechanic you can trust to know what they are doing, and I have learned a lot from him. He always keeps my bicycles riding smooth and problem-free. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a go-to mechanic. Your bicycle will thank you for it with enjoyable and problem-free rides! read more

Armen and his colleagues are VERY friendly and communicative! I wanted a simple tune-up and to look into options around cleaning up a scratch and terrible paint repair by the shop I bought the bike (new!) from in downtown LA. While that shop was not very helpful in coming up with solutions (and flat out told me there was nothing they could do), Armen took a look at them and helped brainstorm a delightfully creative solution - add reflective white tape to the front forks to cover the scratch and add some subtle flair! He even let me take some of the tape home so I could apply it myself in the way I was envisioning, with helpful advice on how to apply to achieve the best results. My bike is now in excellent working condition, tuned up, scratch- and blemish-free, and ready to take over the streets! read more

Armen is the person to go to! I'm glad I found him when I did. I can assure you that your bike is in good hands with him working on it. My bike knowledge is not the highest, but I had previously brought my bike to someone who I will not mention to build and maintain not knowing they were doing little to no maintenance at all. I haven't ridden my bike in a year and had a dead di2 battery. Armen ordered a new battery for me and we agreed to do a full tear down of my bike and rebuilt it to his standard. Needless to say, he found all sorts of problems from the previous builder. He corrected everything, cleaned every part of the bike, and added little touches to make my bike complete. I finally got to ride the bike and it felt awesome. I know I will not be going to anyone else other than Armen for my bike maintenance and issues! read more

Best bike repair/maintenance shop in the LA area and I've tried MANY. Armen cares about my bike and my experience with my bike. He is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, creative AND patient. He has basically become a member of my family - he's that important to me!!! I will NOT ever be needing to search for another repair shop again because I now go to the best. read more

I originally went to this shop for tire mounting and a basic tuneup. Arman found a couple problems with the bike(it's a parts build) and he got straight into work fixing the problems. When it came time to pick up the bike, we got into talking about the upgrades I was going to get and Arman offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. Now the bike looks and performs a lot better. It felt so good that I rode 40 miles the day after I got it back after not riding for 11 months. This is now my local bike-shop. If I could give a higher score than 5 I would. read more

Great service. Friendly owner. Armen fixed my bike on the spot. I've been riding bikes all my life and I too am in the service industry. I am proud to give him a shout out. He's your man. read more

Where do I begin ! Armen is a true legend and perfectionist! I walked in randomly one day just to walk around and connected with Armen indefinitely I didn't even have my bike we just spoke about them and crafted a pure friendship. Following that I've brought all my bikes and my friends bikes to him. Everything he does is with extreme precision and love. He is a true enthusiast and really looks out for your bikes best interest. He's is honest, hard working and the definition of bike lover. ( I once even called him while at another shop and advised me on a purchase which resulted in me saving 2k dollars ) ( I also live in the valley and I drive all the way to Glendale just for his service!!!!) He is a bike enthusiast, coach, friend, and expert in his craft. Go to armen it's always worth it!!! He is the American Danger Holm ! read more

Horrible job fixing my flat tube. The tube bubbled and then popped the next day. Dude wasn't very friendly and was a know it all. Could've just simply fixed my tube but insisted my bike wasn't a good bike and his were. He was also a little condescending smh. I paid $140 to fix my flat tire and now it's flat again almost instantly. He wouldn't even tell me what was the cause of the flat besides a splinter? Yeah ok... never going back there read more

armen is the best bike mechanic i've ever been to. he knows a ton about bikes, is tremendously experienced, has great attention to detail and is committed to making every bike he touches ride as well as it can. so often, when you service a bike, there's some rattle, squeak, gear skip or other annoyance. often it's not terrible, but still a sign of lack of thoroughness and dedication to having the bike in great working order. i've been taking my mountain bike to armen for years and that has never happened. it's older, but running better than ever. his prices are fair and his work is top notch -- if you love your bike (and riding it), introduce it to armen. read more

I got my inner tube replaced on my bike today, and also got some tire caps. Super straightforward, and fast service. Dropped by around 12:00pm, and reviewed what I needed. I was told to leave the bike, and come back around 4:00pm. When I returned at 4:00pm, my bike was ready for me, and I was charged exactly what I was quoted at drop off. Would highly recommend if you're in the Glendale area! read more

I was searching for a place to get new tires for a bicycle I just purchased from my neighbor. I was pleasantly surprised to come across Bicycle Pit shop. Armen (the owner) was very helpful in getting me the proper items for my bicycle and his team surprised me with completing the work way ahead of schedule. I got new tires, Kryptonite lock and rack installed, headlight, back red light and wheel lights (they weren't a fan of those ) I highly recommend these guys for any bicycle related needs. Armen and his team did not disappoint! read more

Having your bike worked on by Armen at Bicycle Pit Stop is analogous to having the master technicians from F1 work on your automobiles. He will make sure your bike performs flawlessly lap after lap at peak performance and ensure that after your ride you land at the podium race after race. What turned me onto Bicycle Pit Stop was their level of knowledge and attention to detail for all things two wheels. I have trusted all my bikes to Armen since he opened his shop in Glendale and will follow him as he continues his journey in this space. If you take your cars to jiffy lube for service or use drive thru car washes, then please go elsewhere. This shop is where enthusiasts flock to. Armen and his staff live and breathe bikes. He is better at setting up your bike than the manufacturer. His comprehensive approach to diagnosing problems and offering cost effective solutions to ensure rider safety on and off the trails is of paramount importance, and must be highlighted here. Kudos to Armen and Bicycle Pit Stop. They're artisans and will exceed your expectations from the moment you walk in the door. Thank you for what you do for the community and all the time you have spent on my bikes. Appreciate your expertise, keeping me updated at all times, and best of all your customer service. Can't wait to get my bike back with the new Hope brake system! read more

Received two flat tire tubes after ridding my bicycle on terrain with sharp debris. Previous bicycle shops in Pasadena, California which have handled my bicycle are authorized Trek bicycle retailer shops with Trek gear and Trek overhead and tools. Both bicycle shops have handled my Trek bicycle and upon receipt of bicycle their craft was horrid and my bicycle performance dwindled. Weight was added and alterations were made which impacted the lifetime warranty of my Trek Bicycle. On September 19th, 2023 while looking for new Bicycle routes all in due for Uni. Bicycle Pit Stop doors stayed opened after operation hours. Two Bicycle Maschinist remained handling bicycles in the Bicycle Pit Stop Bicycle Maschine Shop. Dropped off my Trek Bicycle the next day and picked up my Trek Bicycle after 06:00 PM. Los Angles, California (PST). on September 21st, 2023. My Trek Bicycle was personally handed to me and immediately knew my Trek Bicycle was better than when I purchased the Bicycle from actual Trek Retailer. I am only allowing Armen to go anywhere near my Bicycle and help complete Trek Bicycle Maintenance, Assembly, Construction, Deconstruction, when needed. Tubeless tires are next! Only allowing Armen and Bicycle Pit Stop for ANY and ALL installation ( s ). Thank You, Armen and Bicycle Pit Stop. read more

Took a chance and brought my bike here for a tune up. I was amazed how fast the turn around time was. Dropped it off on Tuesday morning and picked it up Wednesday afternoon. Most shops around my area quoted me 1-2 week turn around time. Although this shop was 18 miles away and had a 5 star reputation, I can see why people come here. It's actually a garage shop temporarily since they will be upgrading soon from what they said. Price is on point for the tune up since I did call other shops. Real friendly and didn't pressure u to buying uneccesary items. Overall I would come back for service and would recommend them to family and friends. Great communication with them. read more
