🔧 Reliable & Affordable Bicycle Repair Mechanic with 15+ Years Experience – (San Jose, California - near SAP center)

Hi, my name is Russell, and I’ve spent over 15 years professionally repairing, selling bicycles and managing bicycle shops in the SF Bay Area. I’m now offering expert bicycle repair and tune-up services from my fully equipped home garage in San Jose — the same space where I also run a reliable auto repair side business. Whether you ride a road bike, mountain bike, commuter, gravel, or e-bike, I can get you back on the road or trail quickly and for a fraction of what you would spend at a brick and mortar bicycle shop. Why are my prices so much less expensive, yet my work is as good if not better than a brick-and-mortar shop? 1. I essentially have no overhead costs, and I am the only employee. 2. I am retired and have no distractions keeping me from making sure whatever bike you own, rolls out of my workshop as perfectly repaired as humanly possible. 3. I have 15+ years of experience in the bicycle industry. 4. In 2010, I started at a bicycle shop at minimum wage as a part-time mechanic, and worked my way up through several, progressively more reputable businesses, until I became the shops' general manager, closing multi-million dollar dealers with tech companies. (Hence my retirement). --- 🔧 Services Offered: • Full Tune-Up – drivetrain cleaning, brake/derailleur adjustment, tire check, bolt torque, etc. • Brake Service – hydraulic & mechanical • Drivetrain Repair – chain, cassette, derailleur, shifter issues • Wheel Truing & Spoke Replacement • Flat Tire Fixes (tubes, tubeless setup, sealant top-offs) • Bottom Bracket & Headset Service • Bike Builds & Custom Assembly • Suspension Service – fork/shock basic service (select brands) • E-Bike Repairs – on most major brands (please inquire) To make a long story short, there is very little I cannot repair, and you will have my word the man that accepts your bike in for repair will do the work, shake your hand, and guarantee his work. --- 💲 Pricing: Most jobs are flat-rate or up-front quotes. Fair and transparent — no surprises. Labor typically ranges from $20–$300. I know this is a big range; however, my quote will be based on book time for a given repair. Obviously a flat tire takes nearly no time at all for someone with as many years experience as myself, but a complete overhaul takes a few hours to completed right (greasing, torquing, and using the bicycle or component brand professional repair manuals, off which I have most). --- 📍 Location: Home garage near downtown San Jose. I work by appointment only to ensure personalized attention and quick turnaround. 🚙 Mobile Option Available! For an extra fee, I can come to you if you're local. --- ✅ Why Choose Me? • 15+ years in the bicycle industry – sales & technical • Precision, care, and integrity • No upselling, no pressure – just honest repairs • 24 hours turnaround
