Welcome to Bikesmiths, located at 5441 Carpinteria Ave, Carpinteria, CA 93013, USA. You can reach us at (805) 684-3150 or +1 805-684-3150.

As a shop in the "Bicycle Shops Near Me" category, Bikesmiths offers bike repairs. Customer reviews present mixed experiences, with some praising the helpful service, while others report issues with repair quality.

Our services include:

Bike repairs: Providing repair services for various bike issues, including tubeless tire repairs.

What makes Bikesmiths stand out:

Helpful staff: Some customers report helpful service from Skip.

Customer reviews offer contrasting experiences. One customer reported a negative experience with a tubeless tire repair, claiming that a used valve was installed, resulting in a flat tire the following morning. They described the shop's service as poor and the owner as a "crook." This customer then went to a Trek bike shop, where the issue was resolved, and they were informed that a used part had been used.

However, another customer had a positive experience, praising Skip for going "above and beyond" to help with a rental bike issue. They described the shop as a "gem" and expressed gratitude for the service.

Given the mixed reviews, potential customers should be aware of the potential for inconsistent repair quality. While some customers report helpful service, others have reported issues with repairs. It is recommended to clarify repair procedures and part usage before having any work done. If considering a repair at Bikesmiths, it is advisable to communicate clearly with the staff and to seek clarification regarding repair policies and part usage.

What a gem! My rental bike from elsewhere was not doing well. Skip took the time to help out and he went above and beyond. Great to meet you and thank you!

This is a great little bike shop with a terrific owner Skip. I left home in SLO without packing gloves and Skip was able to help me out with a new pair at a great price -- plus Skip is a super nice guy who clearly loves what he does. I'll be stopping in again when I'm in town.

Bikesmiths is a small local shop owned by a very knowledgable fellow named Skip. He is super friendly and helpful. I rode my bike through an area of bad goat head thorns and got two flats. Skip did not have time to add sealant to my tires right then because he had so many other repairs going already. He gave me some sealant and the applicator and I walked back to the State Beach campground to fix my bike. When I returned the remaining sealant and tools that he leant me, he did not even want payment. I had to make him accept $5. He represents the old school bike shop - helpful, kind and the kind of guy you would want to marry your sister!

Much appreciation Skip!!! From a cross-country pack cyclist passing thru the area, soon following a significant set of challenges - asking around in town right away heard rave reviews of Skip & his shop... indeed grateful!
