Torres Bicycle Shop

Great customer service. I went in for just a few items: a lock, a helmet, and lights for my bike so I can ride at night. Immediately the lady working there gave me recommendations and pricings and the pros and cons of each item. When I decided what i wanted, she told me the safest way to lock up my bike and she helped me put on my lights too. she was extremely helpful and very friendly.

This bike shop is so disconnect with its customers. I felt very uncomfortable in there, as if I wasn’t wanted in their establishment. The woman that may have been the owner’s daughter was sitting behind the counter with a new born and come off very snappy and unconcerned. She made a snide remark about the quality of my bike. All I needed was my brakes adjusted and it seemed because of the quality of my bike he had more important bikes to work on. It appeared he didn’t speak English because the woman translated. She stated, «my rim was warped and there was nothing he could do». I took my bike to The cog and crank on Atlantic and the rim was not warped, he simply adjusted my brakes. «Go figure!

Not the best place. The woman at the front desk really doesn’t care at all. She isnt rude per se, but she just doesn’t take an interest in your bike-​related problem.
Also, when I went there on a Saturday afternoon, the bike repair guy wasn’t there. So I had to install the bike seat saddle and seat post myself! The woman had the wrench to install it, but she just wouldn’t do it (even though she clearly knew how to)!
And this shop is not super cheap either, as it might look at first glance. Its moderately priced…
Overall, I don’t recommend this shop… Look elsewhere for better service…

I have a fully equipped shop in my garage where I can do just about any repair necessary for my group of family and friend’s road bikes and I normally don’t have the need to go to a bike shop. However two years ago I broke my back in a cycling accident and decided that there were some things that I’d rather have someone else take care of, that’s when I discovered Torres. I found Mr. Torres knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. As an added bonus his prices were most reasonable. The young lady who handles sales (daughter?) is also very pleasant. All in all I’m very satisfied and have recommended his shop to others. I’m fully recovered now but still drop by when my day job keeps me from handling certain tedious repairs like truing wheels. In fact sometimes I drop by just to say high and ‘talk shop’.

It’s true you may not receive the detailed level of service of a high end shop but the care they’ve given my mtn bike (used for about town transpo) has always been great. My old shop charged $ 150-​$ 300 for a tune up (which included everything from replacing chain to cables), Torres charges me around $ 50 and they only replace parts that really need to be replaced imminently. Their parts and labor charges are so cheap I can afford to bring it in as needed for repairs and not pay huge sums up front for preventative.
Prices for parts are shockingly cheap. Of course changing a flat is a bit pricey (though still relatively inexpensive by industry standards) but that’s something you should really consider doing on your own anyway.
I’ve been dealing with the daughter who manages the front and the older father who does the repairs for 2 years now and I give them high marks for taking care of me and my bike.

This place is wonderful!
I started riding my bike a lot more just as I moved into the area, and walked my bike in for a «tune-​up» not knowing anything about the place. The prices were reasonable, and he’s very prompt.
But today, he went above and beyond! I had a flat tire I needed fixed, but didn’t realize they weren’t open until 11. Since I had plans at 10:30, I locked my bike right outside and intended to give him a call, and the combo to my lock. But I didn’t have a chance to call.
Turns out I didn’t need to… I returned about there at 1:00, and as I was unlocking the bike and wheeling it in, I noticed he already fixed the flat! When I wheeled it in, he said he recognized the bike, saw the tire was flat, and fixed it while it was locked on the bike rack! All I had to do was pay!
And when I mentioned I’ve ben getting a lot of flats lately, he told me I the next flat tire tube I got, he’d put in heavy duty tubes and would put those rubber guards between the tire and the tube, so he already has a plan to make my bike even better.
Wonderful service, and can’t think of any reason I’d go anywhere else. Highly recommend this place!

This is a bike shop but they also sell skateboard parts and other things.
They usually have whatever i need but it’s a little over priced,
the girl in the front isn’t rude but she has an indifferent attitude, as if she doesn’t care,
this is the place i go because it has what i need but i don’t really like going there.

i have bought 2 bmx and 1 cruiser from this shop,… the service is great and the prices are also very affordable plus the bike mechanic there is really good…

Friendly but a bit pricey!!!

This place isn’t the end all be all of bike shops, but it delivers on just about every level. The store isn’t huge but you’ll find a decent selection to choose from: Cruisers, BMX, Fixies, and Mountain Bikes. They mostly cater to the bicyclists and they do a damn good job at it, but they also mingle with Skateboards.
The staff is really easy to talk to and there’s no awkward or intimidating vibe at all (At least in my encounters). They also really know there stuff and aren’t in any rush to get you out or trying to get you to buy something. They answered all my FNG (Freaking New Guy) questions and we’re really cool about it too.
Also, the main guy fixing up your bike is a bona fide whiz when it comes to tuning up your bike. He’ll give you an estimate and a timetable of when it should be ready and it’s a really good price especially when compared to the other guys. They also realign your rims if they’re too banged or what not ~16 bucks.
Anyway, if you’re in the area and your bike needs a little love you can’t go wrong here.

I love supporting local businesses but man it’s hard when you have a store like this. Bought a set of rims for my daughters beach cruiser (shes 10 and about 60lbs) and had them put the tires on. Why did they use fixie rim tape instead of the thicker cruiser rim tape. 2 inner tubes/​2 weeks I’ve fixed the problem myself. Maybe I’ll buy some screws, bolts etc but nothing else.

My experience was bad, paid for brake lines to be fixed and then after told me that it was my lever that was causing the trouble. Did I get charged 12 dollars to have my lines changed then tell me my lever is out of whack? What a ripp off, find a different place plus the service feels initimidating.
On a plus side, it is a good place for your local bike needs but whatevs don’t expect great service.

Recently bought my lady a beach cruiser from this local establishment. Gotta support local independent businesses. This bike shop carries brands such as GT, Micargi and Schwinn. Also has a wall of accessories and things you’ll need to get your bike experience going.
Definitely a family-​run business, the owner was cool enough to make the necessary adjustments to make the bike comfortable. In addition, he gave us a mad discount since I told him I’ll be bringing him business from now on. They also have skateboards, bmx bikes and for that gangsta’ in you: lowrider bikes with the 100 spoke rims, orale holmes!
They close early so make sure you visit this shop when the suns out. Otherwise, you’ll be shaking the security gate like a mad man, asking yourself, who closes at 6pm on a weekday, dammit!!!
Reasonable prices, independent owned business, discounts, brand name bikes, good selection make this place worth checking out before you buy from those trendy bike shops near the beach.
Don’t forget your bell or that clown horn to make mofo’s get out the way!
