	+ + - I'm sorry to hear that this customer had such an unfortunate experience, but if you get to a store after hours and they are closed you can't expect to get your bike at the time you requested. I'm sure the guys working at the bike barn completed the "rush service" order, which explains why they would charge for a "rush service" order. It doesn't matter that the customer wasn't able to get there on time -- sorry, but that was his fault. + As opposed to this customer's experience, I've gone to the bike barn several times and have always been happy with both their customer service and the prices I was charged. They were thorough, explained exactly what I needed and what I would be charged for their service, and even saved me some money. I would give them two thumbs way up. :) I'll continue to go here and will recommend that others go here as well.

- * It really doesn't. When one of my tubes popped for the first time, I spent a few hours learning how to change it (popped the first replacement tube). This was all at the Bike Barn after they told me it would take them a week to fix it (and cost twenty bucks in addition to the cost of the tube). Next time I needed a tube replaced, I went to Ken's Bike and Ski. They basically replaced the tube within the hour (they usually can do this during the week, but are busy weekends so it might take a day) and it cost thirteen dollars (which was how much the tube cost at the Bike Barn). Six dollars for the tube and six dollars for the service. Fortunately, ASUCD fees doesn't go to the Bike Barn.	+ * It really doesn't.

	+ ------ + ''2009-06-08 12:05:59'' [[nbsp]] I've had varying experiences at the bike barn. The experience you get out of it depends on the employee you get and the level of experience you have with bicycles. They prey on the ignorant here. If you come in and show them that you don't know the first thing about bicycle repair they will tell you everything on your bike is worn and that you need to replace it, and they will give you an estimate of how badly they are going to rape you for your money. + + Don't buy any equipment here if you have a choice. Everything is at least double its retail value. There are bike shops around down town that will give you a better price (Stay away from Ace Hardware, also overpriced). + + If you are a fix-it-yourself kind of person you will have a MUCH better experience at the Bike Barn. They will lend you their tools, and if you have questions they are happy to answer them. I once got a bit over my head replacing the bottom bracket, the spanner they provided me with didn't provide enough leverage to remove the cups on the bottom bracket(and had a tendency to slip, causing my hand to punch into the bike and come away with less skin than it previously had), so one of the employees came out with a handy dandy really expensive tool designed solely for the purpose of removing bottom bracket cups and a 5 foot aluminum pipe for leverage and cranked it right off. + Technically they are not supposed to help you like this, but they appreciate teaching people how to help themselves - it reduces their work load. + + Also, if there are other people waiting or tinkering with their bikes, don't be afraid to ask them for help (I don't mind helping people patch/replace innertubes, tighten chains, remove chain links or do any of the small things that plague the employees). --["Users/TrippKATZ"]

I paid $14 bucks for a 5 minute inner tube change which wasn't even done on time. These guys are a Fcking disgrace. They seem like they are just a big scam and are around to rape people's wallets (particularly new students, so watch out). everything is overpriced. service is extremely shitty. very unprofessional people.

	+ ------ + ''2008-04-17 09:54:19'' [[nbsp]] Hey, so as you may or may not know the Bike Barn works off of a "first come first served" repair basis, so while a flat change does take only about 10 minutes, we have to complete repairs in the order they are recieved. When we have well over 30 flats per day and nearly as many more complicated repairs, we don't have time to take care of new repairs right away. We strive to complete every repair in a timely fashion, without compromising the quality of our service. Occasionally, this means we need more time than was quoted if we feel the bike needs more attention than was initially estimated. When this happens, we try to be as accomodating as possible, and any kind of feedback, positive or negative, helps us to further improve our shop. --["Users/BikeBarn"]

I don't think that a tube change takes a lot of time, but I took it Monday, and the expected time of return would be on Thursday. I feel that that is a bit long for just a tube change. I'm sure that they may have had a long to-do list with other bikes, but something minor like that shouldn't have taken four days to complete. --["Users/BreeButler"]

	+ ------ + The bike barn is a nice place, if you have a bit of a bang up and you need your bike fixed on campus etc. it has that nice convenience thing going for it. Most of their problems stem from the fact that the employees are less regular than those at other shops, that they are all students and hence have schedules fit around their classes and the like, hence the person you give your bike to is not necessarily the person doing the work, and then there is the third person who is giving you your bike back, and thus there is a bit of communications difficulty for finding a bike and perhaps getting the work done, but they seem to have good estimates, they probably do not want to call people for time issues, that is the one thing that I suppose does need a bit of work, on the bright side, picking up your bike on the way to class is pretty swell. ~Dave

	+ ------ + ''2006-07-23 02:00:30'' [[nbsp]] I have never had a problem there with workmanship but their customer service needs work. The major problem I have had is when ringing the bell at the front counter, sometimes no one comes up front for a long time. The last time I was there, I rang the bell while the manager was talking on a cordless pone in the front. He told me someone would be right up to help me, then he went to the back. I watched the clock and rang the bell ocassionally. When ten minutes had passed and still no one had responded, I left and I have never been back there since. It wasn't the first time something like that had happened, and I don't want to subject myself to it again. --["MiguelGarza"]
