Never again. Girlfriend brought her bicycle here for a tune up, got quoted more than the value of her bicycle itself. Found her same exact tires elsewhere for less than half of Cal Coasts price. Installed free (Cal Coast wanted $7 per tire even though we were already paying them a grossly inflated price). Found tubes elsewhere for $2, the same tubes were $8 at Cal Coast. Found her pedals (and better selection) elsewhere for a third of Cal Coasts price. Installed free (guess who wanted to charge for installing pedals). Basically, we found every single exact item elsewhere for so much less that it really shows how much Cal Coast is trying to overcharge their customers. Dont support this.

Had a great customer experience this morning. I showed up with a flat rear tire on the bike I bought at Cal Coast a couple of years ago. Thinking it would take a while to get fixed, I was going to leave the bike and go get a coffee up the street at Dark Horse while it was repaired. To my surprise: - all said and done, my entire visit took ten minutes. The guys dropped what they were doing and repaired it immediately - the repair was free because I had bought the bike with them! Turns out if you buy your bike with them they give you two free flat tire repairs! Was very happy to have my issue taken care of quickly and at no charge.

I have purchased 5 bikes (yikes!) over the past 7 years from Cal Coast and I highly recommend them, obviously. Alex, for one, has been extremely helpful in taking care of my bicycle needs for entire bikes, parts, custom wheel builds, etc. The mechanics there are professionals and do great work - thanks Memo! Ive been in to a few other shops in San Diego but none compare to the level of customer service you get at Cal Coast. One thing you notice is that there is not the constant turnover in staff that you often see at other bike shops. That says a lot for the way Cal Coast is run.

I came in with a few questions and to pay for a safety inspection of my new Priority Eight belt-driven bike that I purchased online. The service technician was pushing for me to get a tune-up for $70. I ended up spending $10 for my front fender getting installed when all I wanted was a nut, since one was missing from the shipment. "Let me just put that on for you... thatll be $10." I was previously happy to go to this bike shop having spent about $500 over the past few years there. I hope the $10 was worth it. Never again.

Ok so I have been going to Cal Coast since I moved out here about 3 months ago... This is a great shop, hands down. Excellent service/repair guys and overall just cool guys who arent trying to sell you everything on the sales floor. Highly recommend this shop for sure...I got lucky it was the first shop I went to and I have no reason to go elsewhere (oddly enough these guys are not afraid to send you to another shop if they dont have what you need). Check them out you wont be disappointed!

Charlie hooked me up with the bike of my dreams, he stood by me listend to what I wanted and the budget I had. I walked out with more of a bike than I ever expected and still within my budget I had planed. There was no pressure and they let me demo the bikes I was interested in before I made my final decision. I would put six stars if they had one laying around Highly recommend cal coast if you love mountain biking like I do.

I bought a bike here. I shopped around and the price I got at Cal Coast Bikes was competitive with other vendors. The nice thing about buying from a local bike shop is that you get free tuneups for the life of the bike and should you have any warranty claims, like your 8 month old bike wheel breaking spokes, they will take care of it. I really like the service here, people are friendly and I never feel taken advantage of.

Fantastic bike shop. Never any pressure there, and they put up with my indecisive ass for far too long before I bought from them. Theyve helped me out on some repairs Ive done myself, and I give them my business whenever I need to buy anything, even though I know I can save a few bucks online. Some things are worth having around, and a good neighborhood bike shop is one of those things.

Dude was nice enough, and he seemed to have a good general knowledge, but a factory-retrofitted steer tube stumped him. Refusing to admit he didnt know, he feigned understanding and gave me the wrong answer. Instead of pointing me in the best direction, he put on his sales hat and offered to sell me a new bike instead of replacing the fork. Thats one way...

staff was able to answer my questions without giving me their credo on life, which is refreshing. I asked for parts; they matched up the right thing. I asked about a couple bikes and Alex was very knowledgeable, understanding, and genuinely stoked about biking. Ill go back there for sure. Only complaint: they dont carry lots of brands of bikes.

I had a great experience at cal coast Im a new bike rider sow i had plenty of question. I was at cal coast for and hour asking question they where happing to answer them. Best price on bikes and life time tune up on the bikes. Going back next time i have questions or need a new bike highly recommended this shop

Ive had my bike for about 5 years which I bought at Cal coast and Ive never had any issues with anything so far. The whole staff is courteous and funny. I always have a wonderful time when I go there and chill with the boys. What is this thing about tires being overly price. I dont get it!!

Searched all over SD for a bike box to send out a newly built bike. Cal Coast came though, didnt charge me either. Everyone that worked there was super nice, and attentive, asking if I needed help while I was waiting. It was packed in there-- a good testament to a great shop.

I bought a brake from these folks and installed it myself. When the fitment wasnt right they still helped me get it sorted even though I didnt pay specifically for their techs time to do it. Everyone I met was really cool, Ill be doing my bike shopping here forwards.

One of the best bike shops Ive ever been to. Enjoyed a great demo bike on my trip, tore up some local trails courtesy of some fantastic recommendations by the staff, and will definitely be back. Refreshing to see such a well run, dedicated shop!

Bought and serviced multiple bikes here, just recently brought in my newbie father who was blown away by the friendly and knowledgeable staff! Alex and Brandon thank you both again, got another life long cal coast customer from my family!

Worst experience ever!! The guys lie worse than car salesman, they rip you off, and theyre completely unprofessional and rude! One jamoke actually joked about charging me a "5 dollar I-told-you-so fee." Sooo San Diego!

Dont waste your time. CalCoast takes advantage of new bike owners. Theyre greedy and unknowledgeable. Adams Ave Bike shop or VeloCult are both cheaper and the staff is much more knowledgeable.
