Reviews of MBR Bike Shop

Kenneth Odem

This was already a 5 star review, but revising with comments. No matter what I throw at Andy/Jesse, they handle it with care and precision, from big asks to small tasks. Where at other bike shops, I have to take my bike in consistently for the same issue, MBR just gets it done right, and super fast. Highly recommend.

I took my bike here after I got in over my head on an upgrade project and managed to mess up my chain. They got my bike back to me in perfect order the next day, with the upgrade finished, and were super friendly! Will definitely come back for any future tune ups or service.

Just got off the phone with Andy at this bike shop. Andy was kind enough to help me figure out how much it would cost to convert my regular tires to tubeless. Nice pleasant chat. Thanks Andy.

Jimmy Zee

Thank you for tuning my bike to perfection (and taking care of it after I brought it back) and for installing these great fenders that keep my bum dry! Good price, great service, friendly people

The first place I called to have my electric scooters brakes looked at. They are only 7 blocks from where I live. They were so nice too.

Really easy process to get an appointment online and then show up at a pop-up location (parking lot with their mobile truck). I took my bike in an embarrassing state (very dusty, rusted in some parts, and the rear tube had totally worn out) after not using it for 2 years. I received a break-down of the costs and what needed to be fixed over email shortly after the drop-off, and my bike was ready in about an hour, good as new and deeply cleaned.

Look no further; MBR is the best bike repair shop in the Seattle area. The folks at MBR are friendly, professional, and thorough. Their commitment to customer service is unmatched. I know that this is starting to sound like it might be a fake review, but I honestly cannot say enough good things about MBR. They manage to capture the friendly and personal vibe of a small-town bike shop despite being in the center of a large city. For some backstory: I’ve taken my e-bike to MBR a number of times over the years for tune-ups, flat fixes, and random issues. But my recent experiences with MBR really underscored how dedicated they are to doing good work and making sure that their customers are taken care of. My e-bike was stolen and later recovered. During the theft, there was significant damage to the frame. I took my bike to several different shops in the Seattle area. They all told me that my bike was “totaled”, then turned around and tried to sell me a brand new bike to replace it. MBR was the only shop that actually wanted to repair my bike instead of just throwing it away and selling me something new. They worked with the manufacturer to order a new frame, disassembled my original bike, and re-assembled everything onto the new frame. Their dedication and commitment really shone through when the electronics had some issues after re-assembly. Instead of giving up, they worked with the manufacturer to diagnose and resolve the issue, and finally returned my bike to me fully-restored and functional. Throughout the entire process, they were up-front about what was happening and how much it would cost to repair, and proactively kept me up to date as they went through the repair process. I have honestly never had another experience quite like it — MBR is on another level when it comes to their professionalism and customer service. As long as they’re in business, I will be a devoted customer for life.

This wasn’t too far from where I live, so decided to come here for an overdue tune up. I bought my bike a year ago used and never brought it in for an initial check up, so you can imagine it needed a lot of work. Only a couple hours in the shop and the bike came out looking and riding like new! Feels like a totally new bike. Jesse was really helpful in letting me know what needed to he replaced and worked on and called as soon as he was finished. Think this will be my go to bike shop now :)

Britney Muller

Jesse is the best!!! Feel like he gave me a brand new bike after my residential tune-up! My bike didn't even ride this well when I first bought it!? HAHAa! Thank you!!! Thank you! --MBR can come to you for contactless bike tune-ups. It's a game changer. Sending lots of friends your way, MBR!

Did a quick little stop by this place, seems pretty reasonable on prices. Talk to a rookie on bike repairs he answered Pretty much all my questions With very little help from Jesse(Store owner) I think his name might’ve been. I just needed a pedal loosen because it was too damn tight. Put my old Flat pedal back on, Bad idea! Put the racing cleat back on The next day. This bike shop is so small its very easily missed needs a sidewalk sign. Maybe a neon light on the window!

Chase Taylor

Due to social distancing I was without a choice to have my bike repaired by a mobile bike mechanic. Jess arrived promptly at my location and was able to repair/tune up my bike within an hour! Price was reasonable and I would highly recommend! Thanks again!

I actually stopped by here about a year ago when I had some issues with my new bike during a ride from Fremont to Downtown. The two employees at MBR stopped what they were doing as soon as I walked in to help me. They were able to fix the peddle issues I was having and even pointed out my fork was on backwards (first time putting a bike together on my own. Won't make that mistake again) and reversed the fork for me. The best part is that since I didn't need any new parts, they did not charge me. I bought a few small items to help support the business and departed. I'm glad I stopped by and I'm glad they were so helpful and didn't treat me like a fool for messing up my first assembly. I don't live in the area, so it's unlikely I'll be back any time soon (I am reviewing my only visit from a year ago, after all), but I would recommend MBR to any of my friends who live in Seattle.

Best.service.ever. These peeps have it down. They are fast, efficient, do great work, and they will find a way to help you out in an emergency. I live and work Downtown, and this is my go-to bike repair.

meimei Peterson

Jessie picked up my bike from a downtown location, texted me with the proposed work once he had a look at it in the shop. He gave it a tune up and replaced a few items, returned it to me within 3 hours, in time for my commute home. Friendly, easy to work with, fun guys. Email invoicing, bada-bing and we're done. Highly recommend. They also do roadside rescue without judgment!

Trina Van Mell

These guys are great! I recently purchased a bike from them. they were honest and open about pricing and very welcoming--they even let me store my bike at the shop overnight to pick it up a day later than I said I could. Definitely recommend.

Yixiong Goh

The guys at MBR are knowledgeable and really helpful. They went out of their way to make sure my tune-up and headset installation were taken care of. Definitely would revisit and recommend!

Jonathan Morasch

I had a broken shifter cable but lacked the tools to do the job. MBR had my bike back to me the next day for a good price. I'd bring my bike in again for future work.

Charles Gilpin

Took my bike in last minute today for assembly and Jesse was superb. Very knowledgeable and genuinely kind. Great shop! Highly recommend checking in out.

Christopher Lux

Jesse and his team at MBR are great technicians and knowledgeable for all things bikes related. Go for a tune up, a flat, a new bike or a fitting. Worth a stop in if you need some work done.

Evan Reyes

I made an appointment for residential service and could not be happier. Jesse was fast, communicated well via text, and got me sorted out in no time. Highly recommend!

Ma M

Great experience, very friendly staff and reasonable prices. They recommended what I needed and did not try to sell me unnecessary improvements. Found my bike shop.

Chris Y

Great place, quick service, very polite staff! Convenient: I dropped off my bike at the beginning of the work day for a tune-up and picked it up at the end of the work day. Took ~ 5min of my time total.

Ian Dryg

Great bike shop! Very friendly and personal staff who care about their customers and their work. I took my bike to their shop on 9th and Stewart, but they do mobile work as well. Would recommend!

Alex Twist

Great company. They picked up my bike and turned it around with full service in the same day. As an everyday bike commuter, I find their service extremely valuable.

Brian

Great work from a great bike mechanic. So glad I chose to go through mobile bike rescue. I have a very difficult time getting my bike in my car so it was even better that they came to me. Thanks so much!

Jeff Thompson

Great guys at the shop, took care of me when I needed a couple little parts and didn't even charge me. They had a good variety of parts and accessories.
