Danville Bike

Have purchased two Giant bikes and have had numerous fixes done to all our bikes over the past 6 – 7 years. I appreciate that they always do good work at a fair price and they stand behind their work. Jose and team are always helpful, courteous and expedient.

Great shop, Great people! I have purchased 1 high end bike and 1 cruiser from this shop. Jose is amazing (as is his son). I’m surprised by some of the other reviews I see about him. He’s not jazzy or fake, so if you need your Danville ego stroked this is not the place for you. He is just a layed back cool guy who cares about taking care of his customers. He gives back to the community, he is always available when you need an answer and I personally have walked in many times in need of repairs and he has accomodated me right on the spot. If I leave my bike there its always done by the time I need it. Great place!

The right shop at the right time for a flat repair just at the start of an all Ebike ride to the tippy top of Diablo. I don’t get many flats, but when I do it’s in a convenient spot thank The Lord. My Haibike Xduro 29 was giving me that special squishy feeling in the back and sure enough it was going down fast. The Devil had got his pointy tail in my rear knobbies. Perfectly timed too with the approach of this shop. The boys flagged me in without flinching and got the bike on the stand like I was AJ Foyt coming off a lap at the Indy 500 and got me unflatted and pressurized at lightning speed, just barely enough time to take a piss and browse around the shop and we were rolling again hot up the Devil’s tail, eager to put our bikes to the test.

2^nd time I’ve been here to get something fixed. One of the best bicycle shops I’ve ever been to. Quick service, very knowledgable staff, affordable parts and service. Highly recommended.

I brought my bike in to have my new tire changed. My bike was ready 4 days later and they wanted to charge me $ 66! I was so confused on how overpriced a tired change could be, I had to talk some sense into them and finally get a price of $ 16. I felt like they were trying to overcharge me and hope they would get away with it. After this bad experience I am never coming back here.

Hands down, best bike shop I’ve ever been to. Quick service, very knowledgable staff, affordable parts and service. Highly recommended.

I just completed my second mountain bike purchase from Jose, the first one being 7 years ago when Jose put together an awesome Ellsworth for me which I’ve been enjoying immensely right up until I demoed a Giant Lust Team bike which changed my world! Giant had sold out of that particular bike but Jose was able to order the same frame for me and duplicate all the features that were important to me for about $ 3000 less than the Team! AND he got it to me within a week of my demo! So now I own a 27.5 wheel women’s specific total carbon 1 by 11 mountain bike which weighs in at 23.8 lbs! Yeah! Eat your heart out! And thank you, Jose!

Here’s why you deal with Danville Bike: They are riders, they know their stuff because they are passionate about biking, especially mountain biking (OK, they road ride a little, too). If you need advice, you know the owner, Jose, and the expert mechanic, Mike, are going to sell you something that works for your specific level of riding. The prices are very competitive and I’ve had nothing but great service here over the years.
If you’re in the east bay, I wouldn’t buy a bike without giving Danville Bike a look.

Went in just browsing, but ended up making an investment that I don’t regret in the least. Purchased a ‘package deal’ that was too good to be true and that anyone in the know would call a steal. Thanks Jose! The investment has definitely changed my life for the better. With it, I’ve left caffeine behind — and my energy level is as high as ever. Since getting it a few months back, I’ve brought it in for complimentary service a handful of times — and always to a very friendly team (Mike and Scott) there at Danville Bike.

Had a bike shipped to me with the wrong handlebar stem. I brought my bike in with the correct stem and Mike quickly installed it and adjusted my brakes because he noticed they were a bit misaligned. Very quick and very helpful.

Not too long ago myself and a buddy of mine stopped in here while on one of our monthly bike rides to see if we could find a way to fix my seat. I figured all i needed was a small tool, so i went in to see if i could barrow one and sure enough the guy behind the counter just grabbed one and let me barrow it. I though this was a very trusting, and compassionate gesture. After fixing my seat i returned the tool, and without any sales pitches or anything he just said «have a nice day» i rode of satisfied and comfortable. Great location, and great service.

I love Danville Bike. All of the employees are helpful and the owner, Jose, is a saint! He will do whatever he can to assist you. Whether it’s getting your bike fixed and ready in time for your weekend ride or getting you the best deal on a new bike. Hands down the best bike shop in Danville!

I have bot more than 12 bicycles from Danville Bikes. Jose knows everything there is to know about bicycles. His products are right on. Thanks for your help Jose.

Brought my old tire bike in to get fixed. Took less than 3 minutes. The person who changed the tube was very nice and didn’t even charge me for the labor because it was so quick. This place is awesome!

I just took the front wheel of my brand new bicycle in because it was not holding air. The inner tube had a metal sliver in it from the wheel which was why this new wheel was not holding air. We replaced the inner tube and I was very pleased with the quality of the service and the repair.

WHAT customer service? I am increasingly working out trying to lose some, er, MASS… I thought a bike would be a great supplement, so I visited a few local bike shops looking for recommendations. I saw this one and pulled over and walked in. I walked around the store for almost 5 minutes before someone offered me any help, then when I told them what I was looking for, he asked the boss for a recommendation on what type of Bike I should get. He gave the 1000 mile stare right at my stomach, and said «hmmmm, ummm, errrrr, pshhhhh, he’s gonna need this one,» MY EYES ARE UP HERE, SIR — Now I know what it is like when a hot chick has someone staring at her cleavage. I’m trying to better myself, A-​hole, not be judged by you — Oh well — talked yourself right out of a 700 dollar sale, didn’t you? I’ll NEVER buy a thing from this place.

I was in today shopping for a bike for my son, two teenage kids helped me and they were very helpful. When I asked to have them call me when some bikes arrived tomorrow the owner/​manager was telling the kids to get me to buy it/​take an order. That’s not what I asked for and I don’t appreciate pushy people. Young kids = great, owner/​manager = pushy. I’m probably going to buy the bike somewhere else. Hopefully they are reading the feedback here on Unilocal and adjusting their approach.
This was my third visit to the shop, the previous experiences have been ok.

I came in with my 2009 Intense Socom, looking to get new pedals, seatpost, and seat. I told them the size, style, and price range I was looking for. They new the type of gravity style riding i was in to. They got me good product for a fair price. Before i was done paying they were already starting to fit the new parts to myself and my bike.
Because i bought pedals, seatpost, seatpost collar, and saddle, they removed a broken pedal from my Saint Cranks.
on a previous visit i had them rebuild my Rockshox boXXer. They did a wonderful job, I was told it would take 3 days, i came back and the shop was slammed with bikes to be worked. I usally work on my own bikes so i can undersatnd why it takes a long time. I came back the next day and got my fork, he took 40 dollars of my total because they took longer. They then offered to put it in the bike for me forfree. I said no just because I still had to dail in my cockpit/​bar height ect.
I have had an overall great time with this shop. Its one of the few shops that knows about long travel DH bikes. This is a good shop to go to when you can talk tech and bikes to these employee’s /​management. This is a great shop for advanced MTBers and even you roadies out the

Bought my sons MTB here in August. Not a bargain but a nice ride for a fair price. A few days before Christmas, he takes a jump, crashes and one shifter is now in pieces. (The metal look like it was torn off the bike!)
We brought the bike down on Christmas eve hoping they had a shifter. They were out of what we needed and I wasn’t too bummed, I expected to get the bike after the holiday. My wife called me to say our riding plans for the next week were sunk until the part came in. At this point Danville Bike turned their shop upside down to find a shifter for us. They asked my wife to give them a few minutes to put it on. That alone was impressive.
My wife went back to pay, they loaded the bike and told her ‘Merry Christmas, no charge’. Guys, you made my wife cry… and in a good way.
There are allot of bike shops in our area and I’ve used most of them. I cannot think of one that would do what they did for us. I’ll be shopping here from now on.

I found a cruiser bike that I LOVED here. After calling all the other bike shops in the area, this one was still the cheapest (not by much but I’ll take any discount I can get)! The customer service people are helpful if you ask questions and seem very knowledgeable but they definitely aren’t very friendly. I liked that they didn’t try to sell me a bunch of stuff though. It’s pretty cut and dry process when going in there.
I just took my bike in for it’s first free yearly tune up and that went smoothly. These guys would get a better rating if they just showed some friendliness and appreciation that you are shopping in their store (instead of this emotionless to almost bitter attitudes)!
Oh! I also bought a basket there and found it $ 25 cheaper at a few other bike shops in Walnut Creek not long after. That’s almost double the price! A little crazy I thought!
