    Went at opening on Sunday morning and met sales manager Nate. Nate installed my new pedals and did a great job giving the bike a once over! Nate is shining example of exemplary service and I'm extremely grateful for his advice and care. I will do all my bike shopping at Jax from now on, based on the positive service Nate provided.

    Buying a bike with very particular concerns in mind, they are very helpful in finding the right bike for you. David was able to provide his inputs and experiences as a rider, as well as a Jax employee for x number of years at several locations. I upgraded my 13 year old bike (bought new from Jax 13 years ago) and David helped me with a significant upgrade without breaking the bank ( though all these bikes will break the bank depending on your budget and passion). Nevertheless, great purchasing experience and able to meet my delivery deadline.

    I was out on a ride when I realized I had a flat tire but thankfully, I was right near this bike shop. Even though it was just 15 minutes before closing, Don didn't hesitate to help me out. I'm new to cycling and don't know much about bike maintenance, but Don took the time to explain everything clearly. Turns out, when you have run-flat tires, you're supposed to top off the sealant every 3-4 months. They actually have a flat tire service deal where, with a one-time payment, I can bring my bike back in anytime for sealant refills as long as I own it. That kind of peace of mind is awesome. They got my tire sealed up quickly, and I was able to ride home safely. Great service, friendly staff, and genuinely helpful -- I'll definitely be coming back

    Took my road bike for peak performance maintenance and got some amazing service from Don. He spotted my Ultegra sets were on the recall list and helped me get them replaced. I would've never noticed and it's the kind of details you want from a bike service center.

    Watching GCN and other cycling YouTube videos, I've often heard the term "legendary bike mechanic"…read moreused from time to time, and I always wondered what that truly encompassed. I recently took the Park Tool class with Cory, and now I have a better understanding of what a bike mechanic legend is. His extensive bicycle knowledge was very apparent as soon as I saw him tinkering with bikes or my bike for that matter. I am extremely grateful that I didn't procrastinate or pass on taking the course. It was a fantastic experience and I was able to swap and upgrade parts on my bike "myself"--with Cory's support. I am honored I was able to do this with assistance from Cory. Since then, I have decided that, as long as circumstances allow, I will always take my bikes to their shop for servicing. I highly recommend both the course and their shop to anyone. You will not regret it.

    OC Bike Garage is a Lifesaver!…read more I recently bought a Tesway X9 dual motor e-bike and spent two frustrating hours assembling it, only to discover a major issue: the Shimano gear shifter, a part essential to the bike's entire functionality was completely broken and inoperable right out of the box. Feeling defeated, I called OC Bike Garage, and Chris answered. He immediately understood the situation and asked me to email him a few pictures. He explained that Shimano has a great warranty and he could likely fix it, especially if they had the specific part in stock. Cory emailed me saying if I can bring it in they might even be able to get it turned around the same way as they have a Shimano that's comparable but just a different material (chrome). Long story short, I rode the bike down to the shop. Even though I didn't have an appointment, the incredible team there got me in! Cory helped me when I arrived, and they found a slightly different, compatible shifter to replace the broken one. Within just a couple of hours, the fix was done! The service didn't stop there. Since the broken shifter was the last step of assembly, I hadn't had a chance to adjust anything else. Bill went above and beyond and even helped me adjust my brake handles to ensure a perfect fit before I rode off. The entire crew at OC Bike Garage is awesome! They turned a major disappointment into a fantastic experience with their quick, professional service and genuine willingness to help a new customer. If you need any work done on your bike, especially an e-bike, this is the place to go. Great shop, amazing rates, and a great group of people! Highly recommend!

    "TOTAL SCAM - Damaged my bike and charged more than advertised -- very disappointing experience"…read more I normally don't leave negative reviews, but this experience needs to be shared. 1. Bike was returned with damage After picking up my e-bike, I noticed a deep scratch on the frame and marks on the Shimano Altus derailleur. It also appeared that someone attempted to cover up the scratch with paint instead of informing me. When I raised the issue, they denied responsibility. 2. Pricing does not match their website Their website clearly lists $30 per brake adjustment. I had both front and rear brakes adjusted, so the expected total should have been $60. However, I was initially told to pay $40 per brake ($80 total). Only after I showed them their own website pricing did they reduce the price by $10, and I ended up paying $70. The receipt reflects this "discount," which only happened after I pointed out the discrepancy. Even then, the final price was still higher than what is advertised. 3. Lack of transparency and accountability Between the unexplained damage and inconsistent pricing, this experience felt dishonest and unprofessional. I have documentation (website screenshot and receipt) to support this. I would recommend others double-check pricing in advance and inspect their bike carefully before leaving. **Update after owner response:** After reading the owner's reply, I want to clarify several key points for accuracy and transparency. First, the owner described my bike as a "one-year-old used bike," which is incorrect. I have proof of purchase from late December 2025 showing it was purchased brand new. I will be uploading documentation to support this. Misrepresenting a customer's property in a public response is concerning. Second, the claim that external parties (Beeline and Rad Power) concluded no damage was caused is presented without any supporting documentation. In contrast, I have maintained photo evidence and receipts. Readers can draw their own conclusions when only one side provides verifiable proof. Third, regarding pricing: regardless of internal explanations about brake types, the publicly listed pricing does not match what was initially quoted. The adjustment to the final bill only occurred after I referenced their website, and even then, the total remained inconsistent with advertised rates. Customers should be aware of this discrepancy and confirm all pricing clearly in writing before authorizing any work. It is also worth noting that the business now operates from a different type of location compared to its previous retail storefront. The current address appears to be within an industrial/business park rather than a traditional customer-facing retail shop. While this may be a business decision, customers may want to do additional due diligence regarding service scope, pricing structure, and business credentials before proceeding. At this point, the combination of inconsistent statements, lack of verifiable supporting evidence, and pricing discrepancies speaks for itself. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this shop to document their bike condition thoroughly before service and to confirm all pricing in writing in advance. For transparency, I have taken screenshots of the owner's response to preserve the original context in case any edits are made later. **Based on my experience, I would not feel comfortable returning.**

I know there is a REI in Arcadia but I rarely visit that area these days. A Friend recommended this location over the Arcadia one, as it is bigger and it was perfect because it happened to be on my route one day. I stopped by on a Friday afternoon and was able to return my online order quickly. The cashier was very kind and the return was quick. I never used the product, the sizing was just way off, even though I had followed the product's website video guide. When I visited, it just so happened to be Member Days so I took a look around. This location certainly has "everything." It feels rare to have a fully stocked store these days. Since I did not need anything at the moment, I plan on stopping by again in a few months when I have an idea of what to use my gift cards on. There were employees throughout the store and they often greeted me and asked if I needed help. Great customer service! There was also restrooms for customers to use. There was plenty of parking in shopping center and overall, had a great first experience.
