I called in to got bikes and inquired on if they can fix e-bikes with electrical issues. I believe the guys name was James. He let me know that is is something he could fix and that he was familiar with the issue. I let him know that we've tested the battery and the issue was with the controller. He let me know that it would be $150 + parts. This guy had my bike for 3.5 weeks before I heard anything from him. When I did hear from him, he let me know that he did not have any luck when contacting the manufacturer on their website and that I needed to pick my bike up immediately or he'd be charging me $25 a day in Storrage fees. I let him know that I need more of a heads up to pick THE BIKE up before he begins charging me $25 a day and I inquired on what website he was attempting to contact for THE BIKE. Apparently this guy had been contacting the wrong website the entire time. I gave him the correct site to contact and he said he'd get back to me. I heard back from him a couple days later again with him, threatening Storrage fees if I didn't come pick it up. He was extremely rude, still charged me $150 for nothing, and charged me $50 because it took me two days to come get the bike. This guy is extremely rude and disrespectful and over charges for his own negligence. read more

I Like Bike Bought a bike off some dude on OfferUp and ofc he swore it was in great shape and ready to roll. Well, obviously, used bike salesman are just as trustworthy as used car salesmen but I digress. Both tires had holes in them and wouldn't hold air, and that's just what we knew of, so I decided we needed to find a good reliable bike shop for these and future repairs, so we turned to Yelp to aid us in our quest. They responded right away with some quotes and just said to drop it off at any time. The fact that they're a short ten-minute drive from our place doesn't hurt, either. Dropped it off for two tube replacements and a basic tuneup, during the course of which they found a shifter was out of sorts and needed replacement. It took about three business days (they have a lot of work and it's a one man show) but the owner is very nice and keeps you up to date with the repair via text, including having you approve any new repairs, as well as the cost. As long as you don't need it tomorrow then I highly recommend "Got Bikes?" for all your bike repair needs. read more

Had an awesome experience here! James, the owner, helped me pick out a helmet for my new Super73 e-bike. I ended up getting a super cool Kali helmet, gloves, and goggles. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole process really easy. The shop has a great selection of bikes, e-bike gear, helmets, racks, and more--and they also provide bike service. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for quality products and expert help! Thank you James! I will be back for more gear and future bike service. read more

I've used this shop twice to replace my son's bike tires. The owner completed the job quickly and communicated promptly, providing a reasonable quote. I'll definitely return when needed. Highly recommended! read more

The bike is nice and smooth I like it a lot thank you for everything It's smooth and I go biking every morning to get good exercise read more

UPDATE: The owner is again misleading the conversation in his response. He hasn't addressed the real issue. Why would you not let us test the bike before charging us. That itself means he isn't confident about fixing the problem, but just cares about his fee. I asked the question if he'll charge me a 3rd time if I find the problem is still not fixed, because by this time I had lost my confidence in your ability to clearly troubleshoot and fix the real problem. people come to you to fix a problem and you need to own it You can hide behind the excuses but there are several reviewers here calling out the same experience - lack of customer service and anger issues. ------------------------------------------------ Had a terrible experience with the owner, who apparatly has serious personality issues that many other reviewers also pointed out. First he misled my 14 year into paying for something that he didn't fix. When i followed up, he asked for more money for extra parts that I agreed to pay as well. But when we arrived to pick up He wouldn't let us test the bike before paying for the second time . when I pressed him by asking if he would own the problem and not charge for the 3rd time if the problem petsists, he got really upset and started arguing. He Kept arguing even after I stopped talking. He ended the conversation by saying "you got to be careful with what you say".I have never seen such bad customer service. No one deserve this. There are plenty of better options. read more

My son wanted his bike serviced, James did a great job! Replaced the tubes and cleaned and regreased the chain and cleaned it up and took care of the brakes. Said hes was back logged about a week and half but was able to get it done in 6 days. He also took his old bike as a trade in to cover the cost. Great place for all your needs. We will return and make this our go to place. read more

Got Bikes did a great job cabling a very difficult old but beloved bike of mine. He got it back on the road, after a a year of frustration and giving up that I attempted myself, and pointed out some of the issues. He is very knowledgable with bikes in general and the requirements of all of them, from classic touring bikes to contemporary electric bikes. I'll be back with my other bikes that need service. read more

I'll preface this by saying that I'm a Filipina American woman in my mid-twenties. I feel that this is necessary because I've read that other Yelpers felt profiled by the owner, which saddened me to read. Thankfully, I had a positive experience and I hope that others will receive just as kind treatment as I received in the future! COVID UPDATES *Hours are limited. Be sure to check Yelp hours for updates. Appointments may be necessary, so email james@gotbikes.com for an appointment. *Masks must be worn. On Monday (Labor Day Holiday), I contacted the business through Yelp messages about my bike issue (the bike tire tube had popped and gotten tangled in my breaks) and received a swift reply that I could come in for a quote. I came with my bike for a tire repair on Tuesday around 5 PM and picked it up the following day, Wednesday 5 PM. The owner, James, offered a tube replacement at 2 different price points (standard for $7-8 or higher-performance for $17). I opted for the better version since I do bike everyday. He texted me that the back tire (where the tube had gone flat) also exhibited wear and said I could replace it for $25, and I agreed on the replacement. Labor for everything cost $20. I paid using debit card. Happy to say that my bike feels better than ever! Overall, I found this entire bike repair process smooth and convenient. read more

Glad I found Got Bikes! Had a few issues with my bike. Took my bike as a walk in. Told the owner my issues . He got me set up with what was needed. Just took my bike out for a test ride and it more than perfect. Going to pay another visit for a purchase of another bike. He had some good deals on used bikes. Got Bikes is a 5 star business. Go check them out ! read more

We received a kids bike from a neighbor that we intended to give to our grandson when he was old enough to use it. We brought it to Got Bikes and had a most pleasant experience. It is now like-new, and our grandson will enjoy riding it. The rates were reasonable, and we got the bike back within a week. read more

Got Bikes - Almost like new! - Bikes Near Me - San Jose, California

Start to finish, very professional. Website states that you should contact the business via email. I Requested an appointment, got one in two days. Took my bike in, knew I had a flat tire but also wanted a quick check up. When I arrived, he took a look at my bike and also asked if I would like my brakes checked out. I was told that it would take 1 to 2 days, and I would receive a text notification. I love how convenient and close this place is. Will contact him in the future when I need to have my bike repaired. read more

James did a break lead for my electric cargo bike. He is knowledgeable, trustworthy and friendly. I dropped off my bike late afternoon and he got it done the next morning. I would definitely come back for other services. read more

I was having issues on the trail with my bike, and James did a great job in getting me rolling. I was thinking a new derailleur, but he tuned my current one perfectly, and texted me when he was finished, Now, as good as new, and I'll be back when my bike needs anything! Highly recommended! read more

UPDATE: The owner has insinuated something "fishy" because my review shows up on both Google and Yelp. Yes, that is what I do, leave a review in both places and both were posted on the exact day. The Google review is still posted contrary to what is stated. He also questions me because there are no pictures, but there were no pictures to be taken as I was turned away for the business. My review is genuine and from my actually experience. I have ZERO motivation to pile on, but the treatment is not isolated. read more

5 stars! I brought my Cannondale to get air filled in the tires + the chain lubed. He was able to finish the work in 30 mins for a great price. I highly recommend Got Bikes. read more

Don't go there. The owner literally cursed me and kicked me out of the store. I brought my bike for an upgrade. In the due day the work was not done, he asked for more money and when I came to get my bike back the owner yelled at me, cursed me, and exhibited violent behavior. I think the owner has an anger management issue. PS. His prices on parts are a rip off. I brought my parts for half a price and he still failed to install. read more

My dad went in and brought my bike , James gave a estimate that it would be done in four days.9 days later we went to pick it up and it was not done. Not only was it not done it was never even started when my dad asked him about it because we were moving the day he picked it up, he had no apologies and did nothing about the problem. We had to take the bike home untuned. read more

Visited this store today to repair my son's bike tire: we had a great experience talking to James. He explained the problem and offered a solution. He put in a new tube for my son's tire. He also has a good selection of bike accessories, helmets, tires. He comes straight to the point and explains prices. We will definitely come back for any of our bike needs. read more

Wasted of time... Went to drop off the bike for a simple tune up but first got chastised for walking past the barrier and wait and then later trying to bring the bike past the barrier when it was my turn. I was told to wait and that's fine but then a waited at least 10 minutes but more like 15 minutes for the one person working to help a customer. After all that I was told I needed to email them for a appointment like it was common knowledge. Good customer service and common sense would have taken 15 seconds for the owner/sales person to ask in the beginning what I needed and then informed me about the appointment but his only thought was the barrier. I was nice but he wasn't very friendly. read more

Dude...I read the signs...knew you were closed. I was leaving then your Asian neighbor, ask me to stop, then he called out to you, and you were rude to him. WTF!!!! As I said...it seemed you were having a bad day...bad life...who knows...who cares. I don't need that...I was just looking for a bike to go out and enjoy the many beautiful days of sunshine we have here in the Bay Area. This is a reply to your "READ READ READ" comment. read more

On Saturday, 5/18, I needed to remove and reinstall the chain and recable both derailuers on my son's road bike and decided to take it to a bike store rather than spend a day doing it myself. I remembered that there was a bike store on Winfield Blvd about a mile away and looked them up on Yelp. The reviews were mixed, and I decided to check them out for myself and make my own opinion. I brought the bike in and the owner, Jim, greeted me and I told him what I needed. He gave me a quote and I agreed to have the work done. He told me he'd be able to get it done in a few hours. He called me later and said that one of the derailuers had a bad spring and wouldn't shift correctly. I told him I had a newer one he could swap it out with. I was able to get it to him at closing time and he got the bike back to me by Tuesday. The bike shifts fine and ready to get back on the road. Good work, and the price was fair. Jim was polite and we got along fine. I can recommend Got Bikes from my experience and will be a returning customer. read more

Angry and aggressive owner, I wouldn't go here. I was at the shop and heard the owner yelling at a customer and getting in the customer's face. The customer was trying to tell the owner something and the owner said I'm not going to listen to you and got in the customer's face. This scared me so I left. read more

James has some serious issues for a small businessman He needs to work on his anger management and customer relations. You.can find other bicycle folks that you don't have to worry about going off on you. Steer clear read more

Terrible customer service. Absolutely badgered me to come pick up my bike. Took the bike in on May 2 and it wasn't ready until yesterday, the 17th...then it was MY fault that I was out of town. It wasn't ready on the day he said, then I went in and told him it was ok as I had had to put breaks on my truck ....I was ok with the bike not being ready. Then when it WAS ready, he expected me to drop every and pick it up NOW ..or he would charge me $25.00 storage fees per day. I was out of town and said I would be there the following day. I then began to get nasty texts about me not coming in, that I didn't tell him I was going out of town (that's HIS business), and then quoted me with late/storage fees. Nasty texts kept coming. I went in, and he AGAIN said we need to talk!! I said, no, we've hashed this out enough...but he kept on going. I told him to stop talking and let me pay him...he wouldn't stop blaming, reiterated everything again and again. I paid and put the bike in my truck MYSELF....didn't want him near it or me. I'm 71 and he showed zero respect . Never will I go back. Nasty man. Period. read more

Unprofessional. And Jame's attitude is ridiculous. Dont come here and save yourself time. Dude is an old fart. Ps. I got my bike repaired and completed in less than hour at another shop after you told "goodluck at another shop." Lol and it took you that long to fix it on Friday night. You were just bad at what you do. And really BAD Service yo. read more

Pretty awesome bike fix-it service. He picks up and drops off for a fee but I am cheap so I took it to his shop. He really knows what he's doing. He investigated my bike right there and quoted it would either cost X or Y. He told me it might take 4 days but he fixed it in 2. Price was about average. But once you find a trustworthy mechanic of any type, stick with him! read more

I had a great experience with Got Bikes recently... I needed my derailleur adjusted on my E-Bike and called around to several shops and they were all booked up and when I called Got Bikes they too were booked but James the proprietor said if I come in at 10am when they open he would fit me in. James was able to adjust my derailleur on the spot and I had my bike back in 35 minutes! My bike shifts smooth as silk now! James is a very friendly guy and very knowledgeable about all things bikes. Got Bikes repair prices are very reasonable too. I was also very impressed with all the parts and accessories he had available. I enjoyed chatting with you James! I'll definitely be back for any and all of my bike needs! Thank You for the Great, Friendly Service! Cheers! read more

Don't know how this guy has 5/5 stars. Went to go receive quote and he didn't even bother coming out from the back and was rude.

Brought my bike in on a tues morning and told him no rush to fix a rear tire flat. He called me that afternoon telling me the bike was all fixed and ready to go. If you just follow the signs posted, "one customer at a time" everything will be fine. He's a one man show so he can't give more than one customer the time they need with their questions. All in all, a good dude, don't listen to those others that say he's rude. Thats because they're stupid and don't want to follow the rule: one at a time. Simple. I'll be back if my bike needs anything else in the future..... read more

James was very kind in helping me replace a tube today when I was in dire need of a replacement! I called just about 10 minutes before the shop closed and he was even willing to stay late to help me fix it. Quality service and professional work from an expert cyclist with years of experience. I will definitely be returning for all of my cycling needs and supporting this local business. Thank you James! read more

By now, everyone who bikes knows the scarcity of bicycles for purchase and shops available to work on bikes. I needed a rear wheel remount and service for the hydraulic disc brake. Weeks out for appointments everywhere we checked. We found James at GotBikes, who efficiently via email scheduled us in with just a week wait for an appointment. We dropped it off and as promised 2 days later, he had it fixed. He texted me that it was ready to pick up. We dropped by that day and it was perfectly ready to go for a reasonable cost. James sells a few new & used bikes, tires, helmets and accessories. A good 'go to' source for our future bike accessory and service needs. read more
