Honest, quick and reliable! My gf and I were looking for bicycles. Unfortunately almost everything on offer up is either extremely worn or STOLEN. After checking out some questionable bikes nearby from offerup my gf was pretty annoyed and we saw and decided to check out Manny's Cyclery. Best thing we did that day! We met manny who set us up with her bicycle for just a few more dollars then what we checked out at Offer Up. Everything was new and tuned. Save yourself the headache and check out Manny's! We will definitely be returning for our bicycle needs and repairs. read more

Took two new bikes in to be assembled. Manny did a great job not only assembling, but was also quick, pleasant, and even adjusted the bikes for our heights :) Will definitely be back for tune ups and for any other issues. read more

Manny is an awesome mechanic. He was great over at Ted's and he still knows what he is doing probably better than anyone else locally. I totally trust him and his prices are fair. Plus, he has been super supportive of my charity, Bicycle Angels. He just tuned my bike last week and as usual, it was perfect. Thanks again Manny, best of luck with the new place, and I will definitely be seeing you next time I need service. read more

Man I don't have enough words for the job Manny has done to my bicycle. Truly came back amazing after a tuneup and final additions that were done to it. 100% honest and great work. Strongly recommended if you need someone to pimp your bike out. read more

Took my trike in for a derailleur adjustment that I could not get after a week of trying. Manny fixed it very quickly and it sure shifts great now. Very friendly and explains everything so well. A great bike shop and if I ever need anything else fixed, Manny's will be where I take it. read more

I used to work at Sports Chalet and Sports Authority(formally Sport Mart). I was Department Head at Sports Chalet in Golf and Tennis and Bikes as well. I purchased my City bike from there and it was called (Marin) great bike. Well a few years ago both stores closed and I didn't have a bike store to do my work. Mind you, I could have done all of the work myself but, I wasn't going to do that. I would let someone else "Get Their Hands Dirty" I took my bike to the now closed "Bikecology" (In my opion they where the worst bike store. I looked for local shops in my area and I can across Manny's. He talked to me about bikes and I knew I was hooked on this guy. He told me where he was. So, I took my bike there to have the flat fixed. Not only did he fix my flat, he even said the tube that was originally there was to small. So, he replaced the tube and he even suggested liners for the front tire and the back. And, he inflated my tires to the correct pressure and my bike rides like so smooth, he even adjusted my brakes! I need to brake shoes but that is for another story. To sum all of this up, "This is the only place I will take my bike. He is A Master at what he does! read more

Took my road bike here to install new crank. I didn't know what type of BB my bike has so Manny took care of it. He did great work. Even looked at my shifters and cleaned/lubed it 'coz it's an old shimano levers. You can tell he is passionate and love what he does. Excellent customer service! Fast turn around time. What everyone else say about him is definitely true. Definitely one, if not, the best bike mechanic in south bay! read more

Manny opened up right on time (at 10am). My Dad needed two very specific spoke sizes. Manny didn't have the exact spokes but was kind enough to refer us to another shop. He's awesome and knowledgeable. read more

Manny is the BEST bicycle mechanic in the South Bay. He was at Circle Cycle (now Performance) in North Redondo many years ago. Many of the young mechanics in this area were taught by Manny in those days. Manny then went to Ted's in Manhattan Beach and now his own shop in North Torrance. Manny's is not a bike shop built around merchandise. He can order and put together what ever type of bike you need. Manny is a very knowledgeable bike mechanic. When he tunes my bikes they work perfect! If there is ever a problem, he knows how to fix it. If you want to keep your bike running smoothly or need any repair or changes, Manny's is the place to go!!! read more

Manny (sole proprietor) runs a clean honest business. He has worked on my road bike several times and did not disappoint.

Manny did a great job tuning my bike up. Prior to going to Manny I've tried a couple of bike shops but now I have a great bike mechanic that I will continue to use. read more

great bicycle mechanic.i recommend him on all your biking needs.he install my wheel ,tube and tires .outstanding job .looking forward for a tune up read more

I haven't even used this shop but Manny was soooo responsive and honest when I called about switching out a front wheel with a quick release wheel that I will go here for all my bike needs ! read more

I went to get my brake fixed on my jogging stroller and Manny was able to fix it on the spot. He was very quick and efficient! I recommend to others! Thank you!!!! read more

I first met Manny at Circle Cycle in Torrance in the late 1990s. Manny is a former pro cyclist who treats bicycle mechanics as a craft! After Performance Bike acquired Circle Cycle, I lost contact with Manny. As a result I struggled with subpar mechanics until I found him last year. Bikes today are complex mechanical and electrical systems and require a mechanic with a true understanding of the engineering elements. Manny has a gift and an intuition that make him sought after. As an engineer, I appreciate attention to detail. Manny is my exclusive bike mechanic and works on all my bikes. If you want the job done right the first time, look no further. read more

Manny is amazing. I've never seen a straighter wheel true in my life. I've tried truing my own wheels in the past and have ruined many, many wheels on my old bmx bike. So many that my dad ended up getting me Tuff Wheels to put an end to it. I had the day off work and thought it'd be a nice day for a cruise on my new Redline, but it had a moderate wobble in the front wheel. Manny charged less than I had expected and had it ready just in time for a nice afternoon adventure. I typically hate letting other people work on my bikes, but he's earned my trust and patronage for life. read more

Went here to get some brakes replaced and Manny quoted me a really high amount so I politely asked if he will guarantee his work and he got mad and told me to take my bike elsewhere. And he rudely tells me I don't have time to fix your bike. So I went to Safety Cycle nearby and they quoted me a 1/3 of the price and way sooner. read more

Wow, I'm so happy to have Manny in the north Torrance area. I'm familiar with his expertise from his former Bike Shop in Manhattan Beach. He's an expert on all price ranges of bicycles. I ride a more modest priced Cruiser but my whole family brings their bikes here to get serviced. If he doesn't have something he can get it for you very quick this kind of old school mechanic you can't find everywhere! He just doesn't talk the talk he walks the walk he's an avid cyclist since the seventies so if you like high end cycling or just have a family with bikes that need attention this place is great. read more

Since we have been on restrictions lately I decided to take my bike in. It would be helping to support a local business and it would help get my bike running smoothly. I am assuming the owner's name is Manny so that is what I will call him. Manny was awesome. He was very friendly and it did a great job fixing my bike. He did such an awesome job I decided to take another bike in to get tuned up that hadn't been ridden in over 15 years. Both bikes run better than I ever remember. I never had this done to a bike so I don't know whether this was expensive or not. All I can say is it was well worth the money spent. Thank you Manny! read more

Manny's is great. On my last ride I somehow did some damage to my derailleur and decided to give Manny's a shot after reading the reviews here. The reviews are correct. He does great work and is very reasonable. I was prepared to buy a new derailleur but he was able to salvage part of an old derailleur and fix mine. I won't hesitate to recommend Manny's to anyone who needs their bike serviced or repaired. read more

Manny made my nineteen year-old bike run better than new. Seriously--there's been an intermittent brake rub since I got the bike and it's gone now. A pleasure doing business with him. read more

Manny brought my dusty bike back to life. Replaced what needed to be replaced and worked with what just needed a little cleaning. Great experience overall. Definitely will go back for all my bike repairs. read more

Manny is a great mechanic. Took my bike in on Saturday (5/12). I had the bike back by Wednesday (5/16). Actually stopped by on Tuesday to drop off the new chain for the bike. He was already done with most of the work. This may not the be case for you, as his availability to provide a quick turnaround depends on the workload. Keep in mind this is a one-man store. So you can be sure you're talking to the man, who'll be working on your bike. Manny delivered. Also, there was zero pressure to buy anything. He knew I simply wanted to transfer my components to another frame and patiently guided me through the process, including helping to determine exactly which parts I needed to get, for my older gearset. Very helpful. He did give me the option for him to find the components required, but I decided to find the components on my own, since I thought I might have to look online for some parts. Bottom line: I'll be using Manny for my bike service needs going forward. He's a trustworthy person, who's great at his craft. read more

As I say in all my reviews, I only post the best and the worst on my Yelp reviews. Manny's is one of my better experiences. He's fair, friendly and did a very nice job tuning up my bike that had to sit on my balcony for a few years. Highly recommended! read more

Took my bike in for a much needed Tune Up and Manny didn't disappoint. Great price and I got my bike back when promised. I rode it today and it rode and shifted better than when it was new. Thanks Manny! read more

I really wanted to like this place. However, my experience was definitely not so pleasant. I left this bike shop feeling rushed and pressured into a hasty and expensive service suggestion. Needless to say, I felt like Manny (the owner and sole technician) was trying to rip me off. First off, he quoted me a different price than what's advertised in the display inside his actually store (a framed menu of services on his desk shows "major" tune-ups priced at $135). Apparently, he now charges $150. On top of that, he insisted I replace all four of my cables at ten bucks each, for an additional total of $40. He also wanted to charge another $10 for an inner tube. A grand total of $200. I felt uneasy with the quote he provided so I left and had my bike inspected at a few other shops in the South Bay . For example, afterward (on that same day) I had my bike inspected for free quotes at additional bike shops including Bike-o-Rama, Fuzion Workshop, South Bay Cycle, and Safety Cycle. First off, all of them were way more patient with me. On top of that, they all took the time to prop my bike up on the mechanic service crane to check out the brakes, chain, and gears. Manny didn't do any of that. He literally just looked at my bike from where I was standing when I walked in and made a judgement on everything. My feelings about Manny's place got even worse when I found out the going rate for replacement cables is $2.00 at other shops. Manny wanted to replace my cables at 10 bucks EACH! Huge price difference. On top of that replacement tubes at other shops were 4 bucks not 10 like what he quoted me at. Sure, Manny could make the argument that he sells premium parts. However, if that's the case, I think it's rude that Manny was trying to upsell me on all these premium products for my average bike. I'm not riding a $3000 Cervelo so why insist that I need those types of parts? It's like a car mechanic insisting I need Rolce Royce parts for my Honda Civic. Not necessary and just an upsell to make more money. Needless to say, Manny's Cyclery didn't feel honest. It felt way overpriced, dismissive, and not what everyone makes it out to be here on Yelp. Maybe I caught Manny on a bad day, but I don't plan on visiting his establishment ever again. read more

I brought 2 of my kid's bikes in for some brake repairs. Even though Manny said he had a big work load, he managed to perform the repairs before the end of the day. I was very happy with his work. Great job. read more

What a genuine experience, a shop that is not built around merchandise but knowledge and tool works. This way he can order anything you want and customize your dream. I didn't buy anything today yet the owner is naturally caring and welcoming and yet listens without judging I can totally see mu future with this shop read more

What a hidden cycling gem in the SouthBay. Manny is the BEST bike mechanic around, bar none. His decades of experience in racing and in the retail bike industry is what sets him apart. A former co-owner of Ted's Manhattan, I'm so glad he now has his own shop in Torrance where I can take my bikes directly to him whenever it needs a tune-up or repair. His craftsmanship is a gift and it shows...I wouldn't trust anyone else with my bike more. And ask any avid cyclist in the SouthBay who the best mechanic in town is, and the answer will often be "Manny from Teds." Not no more...Manny's Cyclery is here! 5-Stars!! read more

Looked for a local bike shop and found Manny's. I've found him to be very professional, prompt on delivery with services agreed too, and competitive pricing. read more

Manny's Cyclery - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Torrance, California

After dealing with some other so called professional bike mechanics in the past and not being satisfied or having to finish the job that they didn't on my own, I decided to do some research on Yelp and liked what I read about others being happy with the shop. I needed some work done on my bike and immediately knew where to take it. Manny looked at my bike and automatically knew what was wrong. I left the bike and returned 2 days later and have been very happy riding for the last 3 weeks. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good bike mechanic.. read more

I highly recommend Manny's Cyclery for all your bike maintenance needs. Manny is honest, professional, and friendly. I love his new shop in Torrance too. It's conveniently located right off the 405 Fwy. It's small and personal, unlike those big, chain bicycle shops that can leave you feeling intimated and impersonal. Not at Manny's! He listens to your needs, makes great recommendations, and doesn't try to sell you services you don't need. I've been riding/racing for over 25 years and have gone to many local bike mechanics. I can honestly say Manny is the best mechanic in the South Bay! read more

Very experienced owner. Changed wheel of my bicycle. Fast and reasonable price. Never saw such a clean bike repair shop. Thank you Manny. read more

This review is more for Manny than his shop, as I haven't been there yet but will very soon. I unexpectedly met Manny on Thanksgiving when I was biking on the Strand, and I had a flat tire. I replaced my tube and reinflated the tire, and the new tube blew. So I went to take an Uber home, and that's when Manny saw me walking my bike and offered to help. He fixed my flat with one of his tubes and reinflated and got me one my way. This was truly a wonderful gesture by a great man. I will definitely visit his shop and pick up new tires, tubes, and inflator! Highly recommend! read more
