    Customer service at the Bicycle Garage in Fremont California is awesome! I got my e-bike on the same day...absolutely love it! Thank you

    Tina was so wonderful helping us with purchasing a new e-bike. She didn't pressure us at all. In fact, she even informed us that the updated model will be coming out in a month and suggested we wait for the new model which we did. Our experience have been great for the two times we had purchased the bikes.

    Good service. Happy that they sell Armadillo tires. Like that it's locally owned and has been a longtime Fremont biz.

    How much for a basic tune-up?

    Sorry for late response. But I know the Bike shop where I reside was charging $90/bike for a basic tune up. Im sure this place is around that price.

    I came in here to shop around for a bike. I've been looking for a commuter bike, and while doing my…read moreresearch, I read that this place sells used bikes at a reasonable price. When I came in, the staff/owner was professional and welcoming. He suggested what kind of bike suited me based on my preferences and height. I ended up buying the bike he showed me. There was a 1-year warranty on the bike (except for flat tires), and he even told me I could return it within 3 days if I didn't like it anymore. He was very knowledgeable and didn't pressure me to buy the bike. He was very direct and fair, which I appreciated.

    I took my son's bike in for a simple tire replacement--nothing fancy, nobody was signing a treaty…read more We agreed I'd pick it up on Nov 18th. But, at no point did anyone say, "This date is carved in stone by the ancient bike gods," or that I'd be slapped with late-pickup fees for daring to miss the deadline by a day. On the 19th, I get a call from one of the staff--curt, like I'd personally offended his ancestors. He says, "You were supposed to pick it up yesterday. If you don't pick it up today, we'll start charging late fees." Late fees? For a bike tire? In California. Without ever mentioning this policy beforehand. I'm no lawyer, but even I know that's... questionable. I politely told him this wasn't the way to talk to customers --especially since it's, you know, its a weekday, people are at work and not everyone can teleport to a bike shop that closes at 5pm. A little empathy could've gone a long way--maybe even earned them a repeat customer. Wild concept, I know. When I finally showed up, I was ready to pay and leave in peace. But nope--he reopens the entire conversation like it's a season finale cliffhanger. Still no apology, still no acknowledgment, just... attitude. At that point I simply asked him to please take the payment so we can both move on with our lives. Good news for me: there are plenty of other bike shops within a two-mile radius. Good news for them: I'll be giving all of them a shot before coming back here.

    My parents and I visited to purchase an e-bike using a valid Ava Community Energy rebate code. The…read moremodel we wanted was out of stock, which is common, but their reaction was not. They refused to order the bike for us in-store. Instead of simply placing the order (like any normal business), they instructed us to go home, send an email, and wait 2-3 business days just to get a response. We were treated as if our business was a burden. The staff implied this was a necessary protocol for the rebate. This is demonstrably false. We immediately drove to another local authorized dealer who also didn't have the bike in stock, but they were able to: 1. Place the order for the sold-out bike immediately in-store. 2. Redeem the rebate code on the spot. 3. Treat us with the attention a paying customer deserves. This shop created unnecessary barriers to using the rebate program, while their competitors made it seamless. The experience felt less like a standard policy and more like a reluctance to support rebate-eligible participants, especially seniors and lower-income customers who are most impacted by email-only barriers and delays. Save yourself the time and the headache. Take your business to a shop that actually wants it.

Eric explained the different pedals I could get, helped me narrow down which one I want, and installed them free of charge. For the fenders, he noted down the size of my wheels and attachment points. He said he'll contact me once they get the fenders in and install them for me when I bring the bike back in. Love this place and the people, a Pleasanton staple for me.

    Parking was quick and easy when I visited on a Friday afternoon to pick up an emergency whistle…read morethat I could clip onto my key ring. I was offered assistance almost instantly after stepping inside. The worker on the floor helped me find what I was looking for and even told me about the differences between two similar products. In fact, a couple different employees checked on me as I browsed the aisles of hiking-related items and camping gear in the store before making my purchase, which I appreciated. However, service at the front counter was a bit slow. I observed the sole employee at the register as she prompted excessive conversation with individuals without regard for other customers waiting in line. This included reciting words to convince customers to join the REI membership for rewards... nope, not when you just added extra unnecessary wait time to my visit while I stood in the purchase line. Besides, the staff on the floor already tried to promote this to me, and I wasn't interested. Eventually another register opened, but at that point I was already leaving. In the end I got what I needed without any complications, and that's what matters most.

    I'm pretty sure this is the worst REI location in the Bay Area but it's the closest one to home so…read moreI keep giving it a try - and always regret it. Once again the checkout line backed up to the door until finally a second employee showed up to do her job at the register. I assume she was taking laps around the store and finally reached 10,000 steps? Anyway, the employees here seem to hide and they tend to be rude and act bothered if you interrupt their hiding and ask for help. You cannot find them at the register, on the floor, or in the dressing room. Very poorly managed store. Today's experience reminded me that I just have to deal with the drive to the Berkeley store or find another that is properly staffed with helpful employees. Two stars because it's a reasonably well-stocked store, I never have trouble parking, and the location is convenient even if the customer service is not.
