Stay Tuned Bikes

I limped in here this past Thursday with a flat, which had coincidentally happened very close by. The service guy, Oleg, immediately dropped what he was doing, fixed it for basically NOTHING, and got me back on the road in 15 minutes. Including a new tube, he had me out the door for less than $ 23. I would definitely use again! :-)

I wish I had an option for 10 stars! Hands down the most honest, fair, helpful, dude EVER! I’ve never really had to take my bike in anywhere as my dad wrenches himself and my ex did too, but I had to fend for myself this time and honestly won’t ever let my dad near my bike again. Oleg, thanks for taking care of a my ancient bike and getting it back in shape!

Extreme service… of the «over the top» type. I had been unhappy with another shop’s scheduling of repair work, found Stay Tuned and was blown away by the service and expedience. I’m a full on customer from now on…

I had an issue that arose at home with my bike. I called and they said I could bring it by and they would check it out. I came by and oleg helped me out. Big time. I would totally go back here in a heartbeat. Oleg, thank you very much for your help on such short notice.

The owner took his time to hear my needs and address them all with a very patient and kind attitude. Appreciated this. I own a small business, and know the importance of customer service. He spent time helping me with questions even knowing that I wasn’t buying a bike from him. Thank you!

Had a tire issue and popped in on my lunch break. I was out of there in less than 10 minutes with a new tire/​tube for under $ 40. Very good service and I will be back. Thank you!!!

Oleg has done great work building several bikes for me. His skill as a mechanic, knowledge about bicycles, and dedication to getting the job done right is better than almost all the mechanics at the big local bike stores such as Gregg’s and Gerk’s. Recently, when building a bike for me, he mentioned that his headset press had slipped when installing a headset. The very next thing he said was that a replacement was already on order and that he would call me when it got it. It wasn’t a flaw that I would have noticed unless I examined the headset carefully as the headset was working just fine and any cosmetic blemishes were readily apparent. This is an example of the integrity that Oleg has making his work is done to the highest standard.

Got my new bike from the online store, Oleg assembled it, and also did some extra work to install the fork that was not fully manufactured. And all for a phenomenal price! Almost half the price for some of the other bike shops. He also gave some honest feedback on the bike parts, with some suggestions without really pressuring into any more repairs. But if I really do decide to do any more fixes/​changes to my bike, he will be the go-​to-​guy.

Oleg has excellently maintained my bikes for years. I highly recommend Stay Tuned, which is easy to find and park.

I didn’t get the name of the person helping me today, but I can only thank him. I entered with a Cannondale F29 Alloy 6, in the largest size that Cannondale offers (20.5) — while I was changing into my shorts, he looked the bike over and by the time I came out, he was raising concern that the bike was too small for me — the reach was too short (the effective top tube length.) He observed me on the bike, and confirmed his concern more or less, and told me a fit would not be able to resolve the issue of size, and that he was reluctant to do a fit knowing that it would not resolve my comfort issues. We talked about other options for me, and he pointed me to Trek bikes of 23″ or larger and called the Tukwila Trek store for me.
Once all was said and done, I left without my bike being fitted to me, but with a good idea on what to do. My bike is from REI, so I know that I can return it (REI didn’t give two craps about fitting me properly, I guess.)
The fact that he was reluctant to charge me for a fit knowing it wouldn’t be a proper fit in the end tells me he cares about his customers; I have no problems going back here when I have a new bike of a more proper size, and would absolutely recommend people head here in the future.

Purchased my very first road bike from Performance Bike and was not satisfied with their bike fitting (done within 5 min). Fortunately I found Stay Tuned Bikes.
Stay Tuned is just 10 min away from where I live, so that is a plus for me. Oleg, the owner, is not only knowledgeable, but also very caring and personal. I told him that I’ve experienced some discomfort on my left knee and he tried his best to help me with the issue during bike fitting.
As a newbie to cycling, I have so many questions that might sound stupid (e.g. how to remove wheels, or how do shifting gears work?), however, I feel very comfortable to ask Oleg.
Just picked up my bike today. Can’t wait to enjoy summer with it. Yay! Thanks again to Oleg!

Normally I take my bike to Gregg’s in Lynnwood since it’s in my neighborhood, but lately they’ve been really tough to get my bike worked on in a short time frame.
Stay Tuned is kitty corner from my office so it’s just as convenient.
Oleg is really busy but it’s because he does an excellent job.
The great thing about this shop is he is really honest and doesn’t try to up-​sell you on stuff. Mainly because his shop is focused on repair and maintenance.
This means he’ll give you advice on what you should have rather than on what will make him the most profit.
Great service from a knowledgeable cyclist!

Oleg, the shop owner is hands down the best bike mechanic in the area. I was first introduced to him when he worked at Triumph Multi-​Sport and he was able to tune my older bike perfectly while other LBS mechanics could not. He’s equally adept at building up and maintaining my wife’s race bike or my daughter’s cruiser.
He’s never attempted to oversell parts or services and has often walked me down from overbuying. Always happy to work with older parts when it fits within our budget.
I would recommend him to anyone

Oleg, the shop owner, is very knowledgeable and honest about what he can and cannot do with my 2 bicycles after inspecting them. I was a little disappointed when he didn’t finish tuning up my bicycles on the day and time that he gave me. However, he did give me a compensation for missing the due date. I would definitely come back here again for future services.

Oleg is a great mechanic. He does great work in a timely fashion, and he is honest about what needs to be done to get a bike up and running. I recommend him!

Oleg is an excellent mechanic. He is experienced, professional, timely, and honest. Specifically I enjoy his honestly when evaluating new equipment or when trying to optimize the best value for the money. He definitely does not try to oversell his customers. I’ve used his service for over five years and found it to be the best service in the Puget Sound area.

I highly recommend this bike shop! The owner is honest and efficient. He actually charged me LESS than what he originally quoted simply because my «bike didn’t need as much done to it». What if car mechanics were like this? I will now be a life long customer!

Definitely will come back! Not only was he helpful in answering any questions or concerns I had, he also made sure to suggest some great ideas!
He knows what he’s talking about and returned my bike in excellent shape!
Would suggest to any bike owners or people interested in biking.

Stay Tuned bikes is a great LBS. Oleg is the man who knows his stuff. I had my bike fit from him and he is very knowlegable. He recommended parts I needed without forcing me to buy it from him. His prices are fair and competitive if not cheaper than the bigger bike shops. His bike shop is small, but he keeps it stocked with quality parts and can order you pretty much anything you want. I have recommened my friends to him and will continue to do so.

I had my bike tuned up here earlier this week. Oleg was great — super nice and knowledgeable guy, cleaned up my dirty bike like it was brand new and checked everything thoroughly. His shop just opened, and I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.
