great local business that I support Good collection of bikes. They can order custom ones for you if not in stock read more

I decided to give up on my 25 + year old road bike and buy a new one, even though Kevin's Bikes was able to fix what my local bike shop couldn't! It was just time to get something more manageable for my physical situation and location. Tyler answered my (somewhat ignorant) questions and compared options for me, both in the shop and on the phone. He took the time to figure out what will realistically work for me, yet still allow me to have some challenging rides when I choose to. I picked up the bike today and once again he took the time to dial in all the details and allow time for questions while I tested it. And all of this during their very busy Christmas season! They are worth driving out of town for - especially if you are new to riding or a Senior like me! read more

had a bad experience years ago so took our business to Modesto fun work. Wanted to give them another chance to earn our business but again fell through. Was given a completion date for full service of a bike only to be told it won't be ready. When asked why was told they had to service other bikes that came in. So not sure what that means. Is there some kind of special program where others get preferential treatment. My bike has been sitting in their shop and the only reason they are now starting on it is because my wife gave them an earful of how that was a complete bs reason. sorry Kevin but we're going back to Modesto with all our bikes and needs again. read more

Purchased these two bikes from Kevins, we love them!!!!! All were very helpful and knowledgeable with questions we asked. We have found several bike paths to ride on, really enjoy our new toys. read more

Visited Kevin's bikes as our first stop looking for bmx bikes for our kids. Staff is super kind and very friendly. As much as I like Kevin's and the staff, the bmx inventory was very small. We did however purchase one bmx with them and are happy with our visit and purchase. read more

A nice clean shop, with a big selection of bikes and parts. Friendly workers, and good service. read more

having more bike parts not doing orders only on tuesday only bike shop in merced and they can't even stack up on parts smh ‍

Kevins has never let me down. I've bought multiple bikes there over the years always received the best customer support there. Very friendly. Glad to answer any questions and they have an awesome team of mechanics as well so when you need a little help finishing a tune up or maybe just take it to them to begin with. Leave that work to the experts! read more

Kevins Bikes - Specialized Rockhopper - Bikes Near Me - Merced, California

Got my derailer adjusted. Works perfectly. Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they required me to leave the bike to be on the wait list (5 business days) even though they didn't adjust it until 1 hour before I picked it up. read more

Fantastic bicycle shop with great customer service and very knowledgeable staff. Special shout out to kaleb. Thanks for everything. I recommend Kevin's bicycle shop" read more

This place did a fantastic job changing the tube tires for my bike and they have great customer service. I would recommend calling in ahead of time to see whats their pricing/the time to fix your bike/Etc. They charged a reasonable price for labor and for the tube tires I purchased in the store. Since I only purchased tubes for one bike, I found it cheaper to buy in store than amazon/online. Im glad I found this place! For a local business I would recommend giving them a try! read more

I've been coming here for 3 years and always got the best job done for my bike and customer service. I even asked if they can possibly fix many things. They haven't failed me yet! read more

Great service people who work here have a good attitude and helped us out quick my bike was ready less then a hour thanks

Excellent repair service on my 2018 Tarmac's broken derailleur. This is a knowledgeable repair team and I'm very happy with the work they recently performed on my Ultegra drivetrain. They turned around the repair in roughly 3-4days which during the corona pandemic was amazing as well. I would highly recommend this shop for future repairs or for Specialized bikes. read more

So amazing and helpful to us We were out of town and stopped in for help and they gave us information about riding local and fixed us Right up! read more

Kevin's was the first and only place I went when I was searching for a bike to take me to work. their staff were attentive and knowledgeable. I have made several trips there, even buying a bike for one of my daughters there. read more

Had a great experience with this business. Very attentive. Willing to spend time with you and answer all questions. Had my bike built here. Great job. Very happy with the service I received. read more

I brought my bike in before a big bike-packing trip and was assured that a bike packing enthusiast employee would work on it. Great! Unfortunately it still skipped gears when I got it back. One might ask "Why didn't you tell them right away?" Yeah, I wish. But I live 2 and a half hours from them and to complain takes effort and bringing the bike back and listening to explanations and as a woman, yeah, not worth it. Just not taking my bike to them again. This is the 3rd time I have tried them and yeah, done. read more

I had my bike about three time in six week I know they are back up but I jest can't say that much for the quality of the repair.had a couple of spokes installed and they did a very poor job of trueing my rear wheel. It seem to me that they jest rush the job to get it done, but now I need to have it done again,I won't be using them.the prices they charge are not bad but the quality is not there. read more

Great service by the technicians. They will answer all of your questions and the owners and staff are helpful and friendly.

I rarely need bikes repaired but when I do this is the only place I choose. Great staff and they do what they say they will do.

My boyfriend ordered be a Specialized mountain bike off of their catalog and received excellent customer service from all of the staff here. The order and processing was easy and flawless. It arrived less than a week after he ordered it and was assembled as soon as it arrived. When we went to go pick it up, we were warmly greeted and they brought my bike out right away. They were very helpful about answering any questions. They have an excellent selection of bikes and I love that they decorated the shop with some vintage attire and bikes. read more

What a beautiful super well stocked clean shop, total bicycle bling up in here Got to be Merced's best bike shop read more

I've gone to Kevin's a few times for repair to my bikes. The first time was fast and easy, I didn't even get a chance to wander around the store to look at all that they had. The second was a little longer but very thorough, all prices and details were discussed ahead of time (I only had my derailleur and brakes adjusted). read more

I gave this places a few chances and I don't recommend this bike shop. They are over priced and the customer service sucks! They wanted to charge me $25 for an estimate to get my bike fixed! Bad business. read more

I'm glad we have a local bike shop here in Merced. I had a smaller framed women's bike ordered and it was a smooth transaction. I experienced great customer service each time I came in and got a lot of help deciding on a bike. I'll be going back here as long as I live in Merced. read more

We only buy bikes and accessories from Kevin's. If you live in Merced, why would you go anywhere else!?!?

For the best selection of bicycles in town, Kevin's is the place to go. There are Road bikes, mountain bikes, cruisers, kid's bikes, and specialty bikes. The store also does repairs in a timely fashion, and sells accessories. The staff are friendly and the owner seems to know a lot about bikes (I hear he's a cyclist). I helped my friend buy a cruiser with a basket there, and I've gotten accessories there. Not uber-cheap, but affordable. read more

Located smack dab in the middle of Merced, Kevin's bikes, to me, has always been a helpful and reasonably priced place for bike repairs and products.Very clean and well lighted, it's half new bike show room half repair center. Got a wheel balanced her for a tad over 15 as well as a handful of tubes for less then 5 each. Got a free lecture about the importance of proper inflation and placement of tire liners to prevent my numerous blowouts at the same time. And I always see them sponsoring community events and hosting bike rides around town for causes and for fun. read more

Kevin's Bikes is definitely one of the best bike shops in the valley just based on their customer service, Kevin and his wife are always there every time I go in and are both very helpful. I went in looking for a midrange mountain bike based off of my friends advice and ending up buying a 2010 specialized rockhopper. They had it out on the floor for $730 and Kevin ended up giving it to me for $650 due to the new 2011 models coming out soon, he also put it on layaway for me which was awesome because I didnt have to worry about someone else buying it while I saved up the money. Their prices are a little higher than online stores but their price matching and lifetime tune up of their bikes more than make up for it. The day I went in to pick up the bike Kevin made sure it was tuned up and ready to ride and later the same day I took it out for its first trail riding. I have since purchased new pedals from Kevin's with the help of one of the younger guys in the shop and he recommended some great pedals which I now love. I plan on going back for most of my parts and service needs. Kevin's is awesome. read more

I really appreciate all concerns that Kevin and Kevin's Bike folks do for the community of Merced. You maybe can't find all models of Giant or Specialized bikes which you are looking for at store, but Kevin easily will order for you. Prices are more or less around MSRP of factory, but instead once you buy the bike, they will give all services of gear and brake adjustment for free forever! They are really helpful when you have question or you want a test ride. I bought a Giant Escape City today with a deal from Kevin and he was kindly answering my continues questions about every thing! So it's not because you are living at Merced and you HAVE TO buy from the only Bike store here, it's because of attitude of Kevin that I recommend his store. read more

I took 2 KHS bikes into Kevin's Bike shop early Tuesday afternoon and I received a call they were done on Wednesday morning!! Where does this ever happen?? Dwight greeted us and we told him what the problems were on each bike. Dwight told me he would examine the bikes and would call me with an estimate. He called within an hour with what I believed was a very reasonable estimate (much lower than I anticipated). This is my first time using Kevin's and won't be the last time. Outstanding service! Wish all business would be operated like Kevin's. read more

I read all the reviews here before taking my bike into the shop to have some minor repairs and a tune up done. I found the weekend staff to be extremely friendly and acknowledged my presence in the store immediately and asked if there was anything they could help me with. The made the necessary repairs to my bike, performed a routine tune up and then test drove my bike to make sure everything was working properly. All of this was done and my bike returned on a Saturday afternoon. I will definitely be back and will recommend Kevin's to everyone I know in town. read more

I just stopped in to fix an issue in my bike. Five minutes and five bucks later the issue was fixed. I've taken my bikes, and my kids' bikes there and I get the same great, low cost service. read more

Excellent Service, Quick Work, and Good Prices. Recommend fsho for all bike needs. Long Hours even through Covid and very sociable and friendly towards the needs of the customers. read more

I took my bike to get tuned up and new tubes on June 30th and was told they were backed up and It'd be ready July 9th. I completely understood and had no problem, I dropped my bike off after getting a detailed explanation of what they were going to do. It was all good. Then July 9th comes around and I hear nothing. I assume they might not be done. Trying to be a good customer and sensitive to the Covid closures I wait until Friday July 17th to call and check in on my bike. They tell me it's been ready since July 3rd and they tried to call me. Except I had no messages or missed calls. I even checked my bill to double check. They didn't apologize or acknowledge there was a mistake or oversight on their part at all. I was shocked that they wouldn't have made at least a second attempt to call me again and actually leave a message! I went to go pick up my bike that day and everything was fine. The bike rides great again so I'm happy with the work. Just felt incredibly disappointed that I could have been using and riding my bike for 2 weeks instead of waiting around for a call that probably wouldn't have come. read more

I have been a small-item customer for a while. Recently brought in a frame needing help to build up (internal cabling). I was surprised they wanted to keep the bike overnight, but they ended up doing it on the spot. I wanted to watch and noticed the worker really taking the time to address any small details (greasing, aligning, bolting in a X-pattern at different increments) Will come back! read more

Kevin's Bikes was really kind and thoughtful not too long ago. Kevin himself helped a man named Tom who had been hit by a car. His front wheel was bent up and he was pretty hurt. Kevin was really generous and gave him a new wheel, tire, and tube combo. Proud of you, Kevin and team! - Torrey read more

I've been shopping for a road bike for over 3 weeks in the Bay Area. I'm originally from Merced and my sister recommended Kevin's Bikes because she's had good experiences with them. Upon arrival my nephew and I were greeted cautiously and the young gentlemen that helped us was very helpful. After selecting a couple of bikes for possible purchase I was ready to take them out for a test ride. As we were walking out of the store a lady came all the way from the back of the store to tell us that we could not take two bikes out at a time (mind you that the other bike did not even have pedals installed). I immediately felt like we were prejudicially targeted. I asked the young gentlemen about this policy and he stated he had never heard of such policy. My girlfriend and I have been to various bike shops and tested bikes at the same time without a problem. One would expect that if you are getting ready to invest $2-3k on a bike you would receive stellar service. I most definitely will never recommend this place to any of my friends and family and I will have my sister stop buying from them. I've had plenty of bike shop experiences to say that Kevin's bikes was the worst experience. read more

I don't know what's with the "bad service" posts, but both Kevin & his wife have been extraordinarily kind to me when I've gone in, about half a dozen times now. They've done great work on both my bikes & sold me locks at excellent prices. I definitely recommend this shop. As far as some of their products (such as the bikes themselves) being expensive, they are a small business that doesn't make what WalMart makes - considering they have to pay their rent & taxes too, I'm sure they aren't inflating to "rip off" their customers, but to stay afloat (like nearly all independent businesses in Merced - a city which of course isn't known for its great economic success). And as for anyone who has posted here saying Kevin or his wife didn't sell them the "right" product or sold them different shoes than they later found out they were supposed to get - here's a tip: RESEARCH WHAT YOU BUY BEFORE YOU BUY IT. Clearly you have access to the internet - USE it. Find out what you need before you go into ANY shop and throw your money down. But most of all, take some personal responsibility when you fail to do so instead of issuing blame on small businesses. read more
