This bike shop is amazing! The owner takes such pride, he helped us select two of the best bikes for our boys… perfect for them to ride now with room to grow into… now that they are in the market for new bikes again, we’ll be making the trek up from orange county because we wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Had a vintage road bike that needed a good bit of work on it. These guys tuned up, cleaned up, and gave a lot of love to repair a bike days ahead of schedule. This bike has been a great aide win keeping me active when there is no access to a gym. The even made a quick repair for a operator error. Really passionate guys in the cycle community.

Went in to buy a quick-release for my front wheel. Mike and a young guy helped me pick the one I was looking for. Didnt try to sell me a kit which was higher in price, instead sold me just the piece I needed for under $5.I returned today to get the bike tuned-up, and got the same friendly service leaving my bike. Mike checked and confirmed in-front of me I didnt need any other parts at that moment. I got a text about 5hrs. later that it was ready.The young man (sorry didnt ask his name) informed me of a little glitch the bike has but happens occasionally and didnt try to sell me a new part.Bike looks and feels great! Will definitely recommend them!

Went in for new brake pads and they were incredibly honest and said it was not needed. How rare is that? Got a quick tune up right there and then for an incredibly low price. Fantastic place to take your bike in. Highly recommended.

Gotta admit I like these guys. Not a huge selection of gear but they always have the parts I need and try to help me immediately even tho I know they are buried with covid newbies, cant get parts and are operating out of a.tiny location. Every time I come in, no matter how slammed they are, they acknowledge me, listen, hear and assist if they can. Seems like they are the only shop in the area that consistently treats everyone with TLC. God love em. Give them your business. You wont regret it.

This place is great. I came in for a flat and they stopped what they were doing to fix it really fast and even gave me a mini tune-up. They also gave me a new valve cover. Very friendly and know what theyre doing. Another guy came in briefly while I was there, just for air, and they happily helped him out. Quality people here.

Truly wonderful. A million acts of kindness at no or minimal charge. Air in the tires, a derailleur adjustment, cleats on the bike shoes, staying late to help. Theyre a real neighborhood bike shop--a throw-back to the 50s when this kind of customer service was common-place.By contrast, Helens charged to put air in my tires! And the tire blew on my way home. Sheesh!These guys know the meaning of community. I am grateful theyre part of my neighborhood. They have more than earned my loyalty and patronage not to mention that theyre great at what they do.

These guys are always so helpful and the prices are great. Im used to bike shops nickel and diming you for everything but not at Labrea Bike Works. They even noticed my handlebar end cap was missing and gave me one free of charge.

I recently acquired a bicycle that another resident left behind. It needed a little tlc and some brakes to safely get rolling again. These guys were great and super helpful with explaining what needed to be done. The turn-around-time was quick, and prices are fair. I will be returning and referring!!!

Favorite bike shop. Ever. How much have I ridden? Over 60,000 miles. And for enough years to have had 14 bikes stolen. Yes, I keep count (and I now take greater precautions) My favorite bike? The Raleigh with internal hub from La Brea Bike Works. Bikes are my primary transportation. Btw, La Brea Bike Works is on 3rd Street, across from the fire station, NEAR La Brea Avenue. Highest recommendation.

I stopped by here for the first time on Saturday and wondered why it took me so long to get out here. For outdoor sports and activities this is a great place to go with a selection and prices. My gym membership gets me another 10% off as well.

I do apologize Im not sure where I might have left my account logged in but I woke up to this reply in my surprise! I only wish to send positivity and support to everyone in the bike community. My neighborly bike shops always lend a hand and vice versa, therefore I know the bike community is a great one and would never break the bond and passion we all have for bikes! I will see to changing my password asap. Hope you have a great one!

Its always a good idea to review at least couple months after a service has been rendered. They stole my both wheels and i took it to this shop to replace it. They have charged me $279 for two wheels tires and discs which is a lot for a $500 bike but under Covid and bike shortage i was cornered and agreed and here why this shop is rated one star:1- My back bike rack was was gone after i tale the bike from them. I sent Mike shop owner the picture of bike when i dropped it and the rack was there. He try to denied but picture was the evidence. After 3 weeks of waiting he put a cheap and smaller rack. But the spring of his rack broke one month after and he didn’t intend to replace and he couldn’t fix it. So make sure to take a picture of your bike accessories while it is in his shop as they have tendencies to take stuff out! Dishonest.2- the tires that he put was so low quality that it got flat twice in one month and i never had a flat before. He admitted that he used cheap tire because i was on a budget. ( $280 for two wheels and he call it budget) but professionalism and honesty dictates that you warn your clients that i will do it but with cheap stuff. Then i take it to other shops. So i have to pay him another $20 for a flat fix but second flat i used a liquid that fix flats.3- then the break start to make noise 2 months after and when i called they told me its a disc quality.Now i have a bike with a ear splitting disc break. Tires filled with liquid to not go flat and have to pay $49 for a new back rack like i had plus the ordeal of assembly.When i was there dropping my bike i saw he had a fight with a client that his assistant gave him a$120 estimates but he wanted now $200 and he wasn’t polite and professional with that guy. I should have took that as a indication and not leave my bike at his shop.On that note he is not recommended.

If you are in the area, I highly recommend this shop for you bike needs. Great service from Mike, the company owner. He fixed my flat, replaced one of my old tires and sold me a few accessories. He was polite and had helpful suggestions. A+ service. Its not the closest bike shop to my house, but it has become my new bike shop of choice.

The bike shop that restored my faith in bike shops. Biked from really far away and got a flat, they were the nearest bike shop. Installed a new tube for me free of service charge, staff was super professional and kind. Any other bike shop wouldve charged me an arm and a leg just to install a inner tube. Would visit again if Im ever in the area.

Cant say enough good words about Michael, Derrick and LaBrea Bike Works. They are so professional, honest, kind, knowledgeable and an absolute delight to work with. I bought my Raleigh mountain bike from them and I couldnt be happier with the purchase. Ive tried other bike shops, bigger and smaller, and this one is the best.The bike is awesome and their service was even better. I will be a loyal customer for life.Thank you my new friends !

Its been a long time since I had a bike I truly LOVE to ride. I went in looking for a hybrid bike for my work commute. They hooked me up with one well within my price range that has all the bells and whistles I could hope for. The the staff went the extra mile to order a frame that fits my small stature and adjust everything specifically for me. They were unbelievably nice and offered detailed explanations that helped me make an informed decision between a 6ku bike and a Raleigh bike. I love the trigger shifters and disc brakes on the 6ku I bought, and could not be happier with how smooth it rides. Thanks for making the whole experience great guys!

I went in for a quick tube change. They took care of it right away and adjusted the positioning of my brake pads so they didnt scrape the wheels AND tires because they saw it needed to be done. Thanks, guys. Youve earned the business.

Update:Went back recently to get new tires. Selection was very low, but settled in two slicks. When pur the rear tire back on i was informed your frame is bent. (The frame is not bent, BTW). The chain tensioner he put on backwards, instead of checking his work. Tried to make me believe in needed a new bike.2 very different experiences. Guess I will purchase from Amazon in the future
