Joe is true gentleman and trustworthy. I went to repair my sons schwinn ranger - considering the cost involved, Joe suggested to work through warranty or Target to get the issue taken care of. Didnt even try to sell me into it - rather gave me ideas/options to pursue before I spend to fix things.

I needed a total overhaul of a thirty year old Shogun road bike. Joe did a great job and it was cheaper than buying a new one.

Monkey Wrench is your friendly neighborhood bike shop. Not a ton of floor inventory, but Joe will always get you what you need (quickly) and can troubleshoot any issue you bring to him. Great place to go if you want to talk bikes, if you cant seem to get help at busier shops, or if you want to do custom stuff. Always top notch work and couldnt recommend more highly

This place is AWESOME! No questions about it. I have just found the only place in Austin I feel absolutely comfortable taking my Cannondale scalpel. Joe and his crew were amazing! If you have a serious bike or just a hobby bike, this place is for you.

If I could give this place 1,000 stars, I would. Not only is the owner (and all employees!) truly knowledgeable, but they are all so personable. I’ve never had a better experience! Look to here for anything bike related!

Seriously the NICEST bike shop around. I dont often need anything, but always go and recommend this shop. You can tell theyre just genuinely good people who like to get folks up and going on their bikes, not out there to make a quick buck.

Echoing other comments about Joe being extremely helpful and a great person. Randomly stopped by yesterday for the first time to pick up a tube on my way home and got so much more help with the installation than I anticipated. If you live in the area and are looking for a bike shop, go here.

It really was a good experience. The owner was down -to-earth, informative, and very accommodating. The prices for my small repairs were affordable, but the quality of services was high-end. Thank you, Monkey Wrench Bicycles - I will be returning and recommending!

I thought the owner of this shop is Lance Armstrong? Also, Andrew, is nice but I bought another bike somewhere else, because I went in person on Friday, and the bikes that you had did not have back brakes, but thanks anyhow, Andrew, I needed a new bike immediately.

LOVE this bike shop. I started commuting to work, and they were on my route. They have educated me on proper bike maintenance, and helped make commuting on my bike a much more enjoyable experience with all the maintenance, tips, and upgrades. I am glad I happened to stumble upon them.

These guys went out of their way to be helpful and friendly and give me advice when I came in with a flat tire. Gave me the tools to fix it showed me how to prevent future leaks and even let me wash up in their bathroom. This is going to be my go to bike shop from now on

Review №23

I brought my bicycle there for a tune up. They were quick, honest, reasonably priced, and had great communication on what all they did. I love they they are so close to my home that I could walk there to pick up my bicycle. I will definitely bring it back to them the next time I need something.

OUTSTANDING customer service. I live 3 hours away and Im in Austin for some mountain biking. Well i accidentally forgot my SPD shoes and was hoping a shop could help me out with some use plastic ones flat pedals. After some disappointing tries I came across Monkey Wrench. The owner not only had a pair of metal pedals that were used. He flat-out gave them to me and ask for nothing in return. Thats how customer loyalty is born. Clearly the owner is a good guy and worth doing business with. I definitely will be back!

Awesome experience! They always answer all of my novice questions clearly and honestly. I recently bought a mountain bike from them and I am so happy about it! The owner gave me all kinds of info about local clubs too. Highly recommend going here if you are wanting to get into biking!

The owner of this small bike shop was extremely helpful and a great person. He took care of me and I got a great deal. His employees could be a little nicer they seem to have a bit of an attitude when the owner is not around.

Went in for a flat tire, got amazing customer service, history lesson on my Trek, and some honest tips on how to improve the bike to be Tri ready. Prices are reasonable as well. After countless bad experiences at other bike shops it’s refreshing to have finally found a great one. I won’t take any of my bikes anywhere else.

Monkey Wrench, specifically Joe was very helpful. He steered (pun intended) me straight on the bike I needed for my daughter and gave me a great price on it. There is much to be said about the service you get with the smaller bike shops in town. You just cant beat it, so much personal attention!!

Great experience!!! I needed a replacement chain for my mountain bike. The gentleman was very knowledgable and took his time to explain everything so I could make my decision. I am getting back in to riding again so I have a lot of catching up to do. He shared a lot of different info and really helped me out. I know who I will be taking my bike in the future!!!

This is the best bike shop Ive ever been to. Joe has been extremely helpful and honest every single time Ive been there, and its been great to see the shop grow over the past couple of years. The service is quick, and the job gets done right. I wouldnt look for another bike shop and would just go here.

Excellent staff. For a new biker, this bicyle shop is very non-intimidating, helpful and educational. Picked it off of Google maps because of its 5-star review and now I know why! This will be my go-to bike shop for all bike needs. Thank you!!

Just bought a bike from them, and they were very nice and super helpful. Id definitely recommend them to anyone. The store can be a little hard to find. If youre having problems finding it, try 55th and Guadeloupe.

Awesome. Went in to get a new tube installed; they basically ended up giving me a mini-tune-up... for free. Took the extra money and gave it as a well-earned tip. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and cheap!

Incredibly friendly and helpful, encouraged me to ride a bunch of their bikes and even check elsewhere if I didnt see what I liked. Very comfortable buying experience both times I went (even when the first time I left and bought a Craigslist bike).

Review №46

Joe and Michael are knowledgeable, sincere and honest. They are not the kind of bike shop employees who force you into buying parts you dont need or sell you on a service that is not required. These guys are the real deal. I would strongly recommend you to go to Monkey Wrench for any repair, service or bike need.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars! I have never had such a pleasant experience getting something fixed in my life!First off, though a bit hard to find at first, this little bike shop is the shiz! I was a walk-in right as they opened and Michael greeted me at the door. My poor little bike, Violet Thunder, was a hot, haggard mess! But, he took her in with open arms, evaluated what I needed, did a quick once over and said he would give me a call once they had a chance to inspect her a bit more in detail. I got a very fair price quote and about 20mins after I had dropped her off, I got a call giving me a projected time to complete her facelift and was given the same repair price.It was great too, because my bike has a weird braking system that they had never seen before, but they were able to tweak it so that it worked as it should.I was just so impressed with how friendly, competent, quick and affordable these guys were and I now have a bike shop of choice.I have recommended them to all my cyclist friends because they just made such a great impression on me w/their skills, knowledge, attitude, and professionalism, and affordability.Can you be smitten w/a repair shop? Cuz I totally am!

I came in because my bicycle’s left crank was unserviceable and I felt like I was one of those customers that come at the last second for closing. Well the employee came in clutch and helped me get the crank arm off in seconds. If anything happens to my bike, I know Monkey Wrench is my first stop for assistants and tools. Thank you

Review №60

Visiting from out of town, i was replacing my front fork and didnt have everything to do the job myself so I brought it in for them to finish the job. Fork installation involves a lot: removal of fork, crown race removal (major pain in the you know what), spacers, bearings, star fangled nut installation, steerer tube cutting and more. These guys really did a great job on my Giant Talon 27.5 with a new Manitou Marvel fork. They even threw in the star nut for free and apparently I lost a bearing or seal of some sort but they found something in their shop that worked. These guys really communicate very very well with you and are super detail oriented. Would never hesitate to come back here. Thanks guys!
