Reviews of Tosa Bike Garage

Tosa Bike Garage is an awesome establishment. Chris is a thorough professional and great help. BTW I have not even met him in person so my reviews are solely based on interaction with him on the phone. I had to move my bikes ( 2) from WI to NYC. Cris picked the bikes , packed them and got them shipped at a very reasonable price . He also did TLC on them which was great per his first hand review of the bikes. This is al without me having to worry about the bikes or the accessories. Everything arrived with full accountability. I am not talking a few but bike locks with keys, helmets, bikes lights ,bikes mud flaps and other stuff, you get the picture. All this done without me having to step out of my home in NY. He is thorough in his efforts and bikes arrived in pristine condition. Very well packed and delivered at a reasonable price with Full TLC like a day spent in the bike spa.. Trust Chris and leave the bike worries to him. You ride the bike and focus on the rest , he has got your back.. :)

He was able to install fenders onto a bike where they would not have fit without some modification. They work great. Also done quickly and at great value.

I'm 60 years old and haven't been on a bike in 25 years. Found this beauty at a rummage sale and took it to Tosa Bike Garage for a tune up. Not only did Chris get my bike back into shape, he sized it for me and waited patiently as I wobbled up and down his driveway trying to find my long lost balance. I don't need to look any further for a "bike guy!"

Christine Harris

Working with Chris on our two family bikes has been a wonderful experience! We had been using another Tosa bike shop for years but it turns out they haven't been doing as good as job as Chris just did. We had tune-ups, new accessories added, and he threw in a wonderful wash as well. He is easy to work with, convenient access, and very knowledgeable. Chris and Tosa Bike Garage area wonderful addition to Wauwatosa Village. So glad you are here!!

Chris did a phenomenal job giving our bikes their annual maintenance checks. His review revealed that the chains on both bikes needed replacement, sparing us an unhappy incident. The process couldn't have been simpler. We walked into the store, dropped off the bikes, and were notified by email when they were ready. The notification email even gave us the option to securely pay our bill in advance, which we did. We returned to the store to pick up our bikes and were on our way with his thanks in no time. Chris' kindhearted, communicative style, as well as his expertise and competitive pricing have earned our respect and business. Highly recommend Chris and Tosa Bike Garage!

Oliver Johnson

Tosa Bike Garage is an easy 5 stars for me. Chris is knowledgeable and honest. He offers quality professional service, prompt and clear communication, and easy online payments and appointment scheduling. I appreciate the shop’s laid back, no fuss vibe. Great addition to the scene. Looking forward to continuing to support the business.

Chris is great! For an amazing value you are getting a one-on-one, personalized experience. Chris has helped me narrow down and fix wonky/noisy shifting and we have started working on a fitting. He takes the time to listen and really hears what you are saying. With the addition of the new online store, Tosa Bike Garage really is becoming a one-stop shop for your all cycling needs. Coupled with personalized attention, they are absolutely worth your time and money.

Friendly, professional and prompt service! What a great feeling to roll into a small bike shop to get great advice work done correctly.

Ira Klusendorf

What a great experience. Chris took his time in explaining the work that he did on my bike. Gave some suggestions on how to maintain the bike. I ended up taking two more bikes back to him to get them ready for the 2021 bike season. Highly recommend. Easy to communicate with, Affordable and passionate about bikes.

I just had my 2001 Trek recumbent bike tuned up at Tosa Bike Garage and couldn't be happier. Trek only made a recumbent for for one year and they no longer have parts for it, some of which are unique to it. So getting proper care for it can be difficult, especially as it gets older. Chris was great - he took time with me to evaluate the bike, figure out how he could install one replacement part I had found online, and he found a suitable substitute part for another problem. All this personal attention for a very reasonable rate - similar to what I've paid at other stores for a tune-up but without the willingness to tackle my bike's special issues.

Chris from Tosa Bike Garage was a pleasure to work with. I had a bike that had been sitting in my garage for a few years. Now with a little one at home, I wanted to get a tune-up done, and good overall inspection before taking it back on the road with my mini me attached in a pull-along. Chris was very professional and his location was easy to find. With a quick turn around of 1-2 days, he had my bike looking and functioning like new again. I even got a complimentary lesson on things to watch for when shifting gears and a reminder of how to adjust my seat and tires. Chris was patient, kind, and very passionate about bikes and getting people back on the road. I highly recommend Chris for your next build, annual tune-up, or repairs.

CJ Dykstra

We recently brought two adult bikes to Tosa Bike Garage for tune-ups. Chris was very professional and knowledgeable. He exceeded our expectations for turnaround time and made sure we understood everything he did. We thought one of the seats was broken and were prepared to buy a new seat. Chris explained it was a simple fix for him. We appreciate his honesty. For all these reasons, Tosa Bike Garage earns a 5-Star review.

Chris was very pleasant to work with, truly went above & beyond. Im trying to help out some elderly people with an ebike problem. He called be back after doing some research, and led me in a direction to hopefully help these people. It was a tough case from the start, but his will to help was truly above & beyond, and Im very grateful.

Harlan Huckleby

Haven't had the opportunity to get a repair/maintenance service done here yet but the shop is well stocked with essential supplies and the customer service is good. This shop fills a need for the area.

Antoinette Vaughn

Chris from Tosa Bike Garage was a pleasure to work with. He had our bikes repaired quickly at a very reasonable price. He also went above and beyond what we asked of him and provided additional services and information to help keep the longevity of our bikes. I have recommended others to him and I am sure they will be very satisfied with his service.

Zia M Sirajudeen

Chris is a very knowledgeable professional with bike repairs. He not only fixed my bike but educated me along the way. He fixed a minor rear wheel jam on my bike and was sincere, fair & had a great experience overall. His upfront honesty & fairness will take him to new heights and hopefully to a larger business. Thanks again for all your help,Chris !

Nick Podushak

Had Tosa Bike Garage do some work on my Trek Domane. Broke my rear derailleur cable and after talking to Jonah, decided to do a full tune up. New cables, chain (he measured the chain and gave me an honest assessment of its condition), re-tape, etc. All for a great price. My Domane is like a new bike! Rides and works better than the first day I got it. Shifts, brakes better than ever. WoW, such joy to ride. I'll be heading to the Southwest this winter and can't wait to ride Arizona. Thanks guys.

Anna EM

I love riding but don’t know much about bikes and Chris was extremely helpful and patient with my questions. My bike feels like it has new life after the tune-up & fitting. I would definitely recommend the shop to others!

P Dubz

Chris definitely has a passion for bikes and brings that passion to the customer. Chris was knowledgeable of even the intricate details regarding the mechanics of my bike. He was prompt, communicative throughout the process and treated me as if I were his friend. I will definitely go back and encourage anyone who has a love for cycling to call him for your next repair or bike build.

Brie Noble

I was so happy with my experience at Tosa Bike Garage. They have gone above and beyond with the repairs, tune-up and upgrades I’ve needed on my MTB. Chris took the time to answer my questions and educate me on some of the bike maintenance topics I inquired about. Their communication and billing processes are smooth and responsive. The shop itself has a very pleasant and friendly vibe. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Michael Hayden

Chris does an incredible job! He is passionate about bikes and loves to share his knowledge with others. Not only did he fix the my issue, he also took the time to literally bring my bike back to showroom clean, and gave me some tire pressure tips! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! I’ll be going to Tosa Bike Garage from now on!

Linda C.

Chris was so great to work with! We brought him 3 bikes all with different issues. He tuned up mine, replaced the brakes and chain and it rides like brand new. He fixed the other bikes’ issues as well, and then some others that we hadn’t even been aware of. When we went to pick them up (he was close enough that we were able to walk over) my youngest asked if he could fix the hand brakes on the bike he had ridden over. It’s a cheap beginner bike that we aren’t worried about - it also has the pedal brakes. Chris said yes, managed to get one of my old brake pads to fit where the other one was missing, made a few other adjustments and sent us on our way at no extra charge. We’re very impressed and will call him for all of our biking needs!

Kids Scoptur

I asked Chris to clean up and tune up my bike, with specific instructions on how to clean the drive train and to look over other parts of the bike for upgrades. He did everything I asked and more, was attentive, took time to discuss everything I had questions on and my bike is riding like it is brand new. Already sent his information to others I ride with for their bike needs. Will definitely use Chris again.

Rick Harris

Chris is totally knowledgeable and skilled at tuning up bikes, and his services are beyond affordable! He brought our '90's Trek bikes--still in excellent shape, relatively speaking--into pristine condition/the 2020s! I feel extremely fortunate to have found him! Plus, he's just a really friendly, affable guy! You will be writing a 5-star review of your own after he's done work for you!

Lisa Metz

I contacted Chris to help us tune up 4 bikes for our family after I called a number of other bike shops and learned they wouldn’t be able to help us for about 4-5 weeks. Chris was responsive, positive, quick and really knowledgeable. You can tell how much he loves biking and wants everyone else to enjoy it, too!

Cindy Prendergast

My bike brake was not working, and Chris offered to have me email a picture of it to see if he could talk me through fixing it. As it turned out, I brought my bike to Chris the day after talking with him, and he had fixed the brake, tuned up and cleaned my bike in less than 2 days! He was professional, prompt, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Chris for any bike repair needed.

Devon Blumer

Had my bike that had been sitting in my garage for a bit in for a tune up. Chris did a great job with estimated timing and costs. Rides great and got a super cute new bike helmet for a very reasonable price when picking it up!!!

Kelley Wolff

Chris is a pleasure to work with and really knows his stuff. We had two road bikes that had not been ridden/touched in almost 3 years. Chris gave us recommendations on new parts and then ordered and installed everything, in addition to the general tune up. We wouldn’t have been able to do it ourselves, much less in the quick timeframe that he got it done! Thanks, Chris!! We’ll see you next spring :)

Luke Foss

5 ⭐️ for sure. Chris is very helpful, honest and knowledgeable. He has provided some great recommendations for bike upgrades and has been quick and complete is his work. Glad to have this bike shop as a part of the community!

Patricia F

We have two jogging strollers that needed to be tuned up. Chris was very knowledgeable about the strollers as well as parts and typical issues that usually arise. He was able to do a tune up on both strollers allowing us to get back outside in time for the great weather. He also let us know about some things he noticed on each stroller and what to look for to prevent future issues. Great experience- we will definitely be back!!

Jerad Steinfeld

I was in a few weeks ago for a bike tune up following a minor accident. They did a fantastic job and had my bike road worthy incredibly quick. Chris is super knowledgeable and friendly.

Marc Larivee

Chris was great. Responded in a timely fashion to my email inquiries as well as performed excellent work at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be using Tosa Bike Garage for any other bike maintenance issues we have moving forward.

Scott Hoffland

Came across Tosa Bike Garage while looking for a tune-up for my old Trek 3700 MTB. This bike has been ridden hard over the years and needed some TLC. Repairs were quickly diagnosed and I was back on road and trail in no time. The quality of the workmanship and the integrity of the owner is outstanding. Tosa Bike Garage is a shining gem in the Tosa Village!

Scott Schueller

Chris did a great job installing handlebars on my new bike and cleaning up and tuning up my old ‘98 Lemond that needed some love. Super responsive and quick, will be bringing him my bikes for annual tune ups.

Chris and the tosa bike garage is what you wish all bike shops were like. Figure out what needs to be fix. Fix it in a timely fashion. Charge a fair price (or less). Would and have gone back for more bike repairs and would recommend him highly. After Brookfield Bicycle went out of business tosa bike garage gets all of my business.

Jie He

We recently ordered a new bike online. However, the derailleur needed some adjustments. We tried by ourself, but did not work. I was lucky to find Chris's place. Chris responded my email query shortly. After we sent the bike over, Chris adjusted the bike for about 30 mins. It worked pefectly! I'm so glad that I sent my bike to Chris's Bike Garage!

Diamond Allison

Two things. I love the fact Chris works out of his home, right in our neighborhood and Chris did an amazing job with my kids favorite bike. Great quality work. Washed and scrubbed the rust from the chain. He even fixed things I had no clue was wrong with the bike.

Fitzgerald Lontok

I had a bike that was in bad shape because it was not used for 2 years. Chris tuned up my bike and now it rides better than ever. He kept me up-to-date on all the problems with my bike and didn't charge me an arm and a leg. I was very satisfied with his work and the value matched my pocket book!

Shaneka Sloan

I called Tosa Bike garage for repairs on two bikes and the experience was nothing but pleasant. When I arrived Chris was very friendly and the turnaround time was amazing! I highly recommend using this business!

Christopher G

I bought a couple used bikes for my kids. Tosa bike garage was able to spruce them up upgrade some things that need to be upgraded all within a reasonable price, all in quick turnaround time. Very happy!

Brent Pitcher

I checked out Tosa Bike Garage at the suggestion of my neighbor. I was quickly able to make a tune-up appointment for my mountain bike and got it back in time for spring riding. Chris is very helpful.

Kimberlee Van Den Berg

Great experience at Tosa Bike Garage. Chris is extremely knowledgable and completed quality work much quicker than expected! Would highly recommend.
