Called around everywhere in LA to see if they carried Impala. Maintain was the only place that had it and was open. Alex (the owner I believe) is a really helpful guy. Skating every weekend and getting fresh air does wonders on your mental health. Go out and support this amazing local business! read more

Maintain - My new skateboard that I got from the shop Maintain - Skate Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Getting back into skating at 30 years old after a little over a decade. Not gonna lie I was a little bit intimidated walking into a local shop after such a long time, but the owner was super chill and helped me pick out specific trucks, wheels etc. after I told him exactly what I was looking for. Even recommended a few skate spots to me in the area. Couldn't be happier with my setup and would highly recommend. read more

WOW!!! This place is incredible. I wanted to get my two kiddos a skateboard as a present but I was rushing to get somewhere. I stumbled upon this shop and it was such a perfect find. Alex was wonderful. Helped me hand pick some fabulous boards and customized them for my kids. Alex patiently walked me through all the different options and was so knowledgeable. This place is an absolute treasure and everyone should take their kids here. Let's get these kids off the screens and outside!!! read more

Alex over at maintain is a really good dude! I think he owns and runs his little shop all by himself . I bought aset of wheels from him and he gave me cruiser wheels cuz he must of thought that I need them cuz I'm so old ! LOL . I called him up and he swapped them with no questions asked:) He also sent me pictures of the wheels that I was interested in I also called him and asked him if he had a anti hero 8.4 and he said he did and he held it for me with my name on it till the next day :) what great customer service . Great little shop with a boutique type of service and kindness PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SKATESHOP DURING THESE CRAZY TIMES!!! Thanks for being awesome Alex read more

Stopped by around 4pm today. Not sure the guy's name who helped us, but he was amazing the whole time. Helped me find the perfect deck, offered to sell me mismatched colored trucks (which is what I wanted) and soft wheels to get the most movement out of my kicking off. Assembled it for me with grip tape I bought elsewhere as well and was super nice the whole time. Pleasant experience and would definitely recommend stopping by! He was super receptive to beginner questions & explained things well too. read more

I went here for a socket wrench for my new roller skates and called ahead to ask if they had the right size, the owner was really nice and helpful and met me with two options when I walked up to the COVID curbside counter! A super friendly experience. read more

Went in with my mom and little sibling to buy their first skateboard. The owner was such a cool guy, he brought out different decks and explained the difference between them all. He also took the time to explain the difference between the wheels, trucks and bearings for the board. Sam, my sibling ended up designing their board and is now a very happy kiddo. He also put the skateboard together for Sam. Will be coming back to support this local business. 10/10 experience! read more

Alex is an amazing owner/operator of this shop. He is super friendly and gives the best advise... Alex restored an old skateboard for me Check the store out, you wont be disappointed. read more

Horrible service. Can't hold any boards. Generic wax $3 regular independent bolts $5 and the guy wasn't really helpful. Super let down. And $60 for a pro Deck Plus Grip not worth it read more

Based on customer service only, the guy working here (possible owner) was very very nice. Greeted form the moment we walked in, checked up on just minutes later, and all while he was busy attending other customers. There was majority younger kids in here while I was there and he treated them as any age customer, with the same attention and was kind to them as well. I just dropped in to take a look around while I was waiting to get a tattoo next door, which I told him - but he still continued to check up and see how things were going or if I needed helped. Even thanked me as I left. Good customer service. read more

good service ! Guy at the register was really friendly. if you're looking to build a skateboard this is the shop! and it as well has good prices! read more

1st timers ... My 10 yr old was very happy with his 1st board. Awesome service from Ben. He totally went above and beyond.

Went to this shop with my buddy the other day because it was close and it was a great experience. The owner was a super cool dude, he gave us a good deal on some penny boards, and it was just a cool spot. They sell all the stuff you would expect to find in a skate shop. It's a small joint but I'm loving this penny board I got there. read more

Maintain - Bought this penny board here the other day for a good price. Customized the board by painting a slap tag and sticking it on. - Skate Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was passing through Cypress Park and decided to visit a new skate shop for a wheel repair. Anton was just locking up the shop but went back inside and helped me out. What a nice guy! Bonus: the shop is great, too! It's a "real skater's shop" (not just a place that sells skater clothes) and even has a great selection of local (NELA) tshirts. Awesome experience, all around. read more

Thanks for the great service! mask wearing and a viewing window to chk out all the great gear. Parking is ok, business is on the corner so there are options. Ill definitely be coming back to support some more! read more

The service was great. I was worried about going to any skateboard shop to buy since I don't know anything about skateboard. I was worried about getting annoying since I new I was going to ask a lot of questions. But the owner was great. He was very helpful and answered all my questions. He seemed very honest and I was very grateful for that. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Great place to buy all the safety gear for an 8 year old. Pads and Helmet! Also they took the time to fit my child. I feel better when we go out for our first ride! Once the rain stops... read more

Got my sons first skateboard here. Alex the owner helped us put together the board, as I have no idea what to do or chose. He also helped us fix up an old board that was given to us, so we had a spare board for friends to use. Awesome shop, friendly & helpful owner. This is how all businesses should operate! read more

Walked in here today because a friend of my son recommended the place. My sons birthday is tomorrow and wanted a new skateboard for his birthday we called the shop and they we're going to close by the time we make it. However the owner told my husband he wait for us. Even if we got there close to the time they closed the shop.The owner took his time to help my son pick out his first skateboard didn't rush us at all knowing he was closed already. He provided great customer service and went above and beyond to make my sons birthday special. We will be going back here for sure I support small business with outstanding customer service. Stop buy here for your skateboard needs we recommend there great service. read more

An "urban art supply" store, Maintain has grown to sell skate gear, graphic tees, books, magazines and videos you usually only find online or items that are hard to find. Think of the hey-day in the early 90's when graffiti had first started to really take it's mark in advertising, fashion and culture. Look to get a wide selection of paint, markers and tips to style up your production walls. The owner Alex is a likeable guy with no ego usually attached with graffiti bravado. Don't get me wrong though, he's a businessman through and through and will offer a kick-back when you purchase in bulk. Another gem that you may have passed a billion times on Sunset. From time to time there are shows and special events that keep the original hip-hop vibe going. But, don't take my word for it, go see for yourself. -Joel read more

My skate deck art workshop is exposing me to a ton of gems in the NELA area. Found maintain and was impressed by the customer service. Love the Urban Art Supplies but definitely needs more skate stuff. I am still recovering from the beating I recieved from my brother when I created an "Art Piece" on our family AC unit. So since then, it's only been skating. Looking forward to going back and picking up new trucks for my new deck read more

What can i say Alex gave great service today. I went in there simply for a spraycan and walked out with a few more things. His attention to me having a good experience and wanting to return was great. The place is really clean and organized very welcoming environment. Prices are very reasonable and clothes have great designs. I felt the same excitement i once did when i was a kid visiting the shop on sunset years ago. Will definitely be returning. read more

I noticed this location in my neighborhood for a while now and have always seen many kids out there skating in front of the store on a rail that the owner brings out. I came in to refurbish my skateboard not to long ago and they had a lot of variety of barring's and wheels. I was changing the grip tape also and saw they had a Santa Cruz grip tape that I was overwhelmed with joy. My board was a mess so I appreciated the time the owner took to really make it whole again. They had a cool little dog roaming around also. I shall return soon to get me some new trucks. read more
