Fresh Bikes

This is an awesome mobile bike shop. My wife’s mountain bike had a sticky front disc brake and Jon came out and fixed it and also tuned up several other parts of the bike. He did such a good job, our neighbor brought two bikes over for him to tune up. They have all the necessary tools in their mobile setup and are very knowledgeable. We highly recommend them and look forward to using them again.

I just had them tune up 3 bikes that have never been cleaned nor tuned up in at least 5 years. They look like new bikes and operate great. I called other bike shops and they were very expensive and you had to bring in each bike, one at a time.
Johnny, arrived right on time and took 2 hours to clean and tune at around 40% less than the retailers. I will use again.

Just finished having our bikes fixed up by Jon. I write a Unilocal review about once a year, but Jon is so good it deserves a review. My bike is pretty old and I haven’t gotten it serviced in a long time. Jon went through it with great detail and fixed up all up, looks great. He also fixed up my wife and son’s bike. It is both easier and more affordable than taking your bike to a bike shop, highly recommend to anyone.

Great experience with this shop. I brought my bike in to have an arm on my crank replaced and my eyes were opened up. I had purchased the bike from a vendor that had assembled it and apparently they didn’t really know what they were doing. The first time I went to ride the bike the left pedal flew right of the arm of the crank and stripped the threading. When shop owner looked at the bike, he found a lot of other things that needed to be adjusted and it wasn’t like some BS upsell stuff. I could totally tell that the owner actually cared about bikes because he almost seemed offended that someone could be so negligent when assembling and selling bikes. It was actually kind of funny in a refreshingly assuring way. Definitely sending anyone I know who needs anything bike related to this shop.

I was very disappointed with the treatment I received from Fresh Bikes. I was down visiting my mom, and wanted to get my tricycle back into working order. After reading how wonderful, and ethical, and professional Jon was, I decided to give Fresh Bikes a call.
I contacted Jon to see if they worked on adult tricycles. He said they did. The morning of our appointment, he sent me an email. «Something large» had come come up in the shop, and he had to cancel. Things do happen, so I replied that I hoped everything worked out. He didn’t contact me to reschedule, so I sent him an email to see if we could reschedule that week. No response.
Finally had to call. Rescheduled for that Wednesday at 10. He didn’t show up at 10:00 on Wednesday. Then I saw the email sent at 9:48, saying he’d *just discovered* that they didn’t have a Huntington Beach Business license. They also didn’t have one for Laguna, as they didn’t do enough business in either place to justify the expense. If any of that was true, they should have taken both cities off their website. If he simply didn’t want to work on a tricycle, he should have just said so. If he’d just said no, I could have made plans to get my my trike fixed sooner than the day before I was supposed to go home. My advice would be to avoid Fresh Bikes, unless you have a fancy $ 5000 bicycle.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that their store front is out of their garage. These guys are extremely knowledgeable, ethical, and offer very competitive pricing. I have purchased a new beach cruiser and have repaired 2 old ones. I highly recommend!

Now I’ve got friends I can trust to work on my bike. Johnny took great care of my bike and my wallet. These guys are awesome. I’m am a loyal customer from here on out. Thanks fellas!

such an amazing hidden gem to get your bikes serviced, repaired, built at amazingly affordable prices.
Jon struck me as a «cycling» «yoda» with his extensive knowledge and skills.
I wish I had found this place much sooner so I didn’t have to spend days waiting for my bike to get serviced at performancebike.
Freshbikes’ turnaround time for me has been at the most 1 day (same day usually), which is AWESOME.
If you have the time, the drive to Jon’s garage is totally worth it for you’d find a lot of goodies at the shop.
AMAZING
how many times have I mentioned «Amazing?» :-D

I bike to work every day, so it’s hard to get in for maintenance. When I read that this shop comes to you, I emailed at 8:30am. They were already planning to be near my work that day, so I rode over to the van at 12p and rode back to my office by 1p. New tire, tube, and simple tuneup for $ 87 plus tip.
Easiest bike service ever for Irvine area.

If you are in need of bicycle repair… go to Fresh Bikes in Newport Beach! This guy hooked me up with a Trek that fit me… and reviewed how everything works as well. He even threw in a new helmet, water bottle, and OC bicycle map! His pricing is fantastic and they are mobile.

Very small and pretty affordable. I went here after having bad experiences with the Bike Religion shop on UCI’s campus.
The guys that run this place are very friendly and very helpful. They didn’t have the part I needed but helped me identify the exact part specs so I could find it elsewhere.
For any tune ups or maintenance needed their service charges are pretty cheap. Probably because they operate out of a garage, but still it’s all very professional. If you don’t want to spend money on getting your own tools and such just go here.

Hands down one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. Jon and Johnny are the consummate professionals — knowledgeable, friendly, and just plain nice. I have had not-​so-​great experiences at another local bike shop, Bike Religion, and working with Fresh Bikes was the exact opposite. They even picked up my bike and then dropped it back off at my house! Prices are reasonable, and they were able to find parts for my very old bike that Bike Religion wasn’t able to.
I cannot recommend Fresh Bikes highly enough. I will never use another bike repair again.

As a newbie, I know minimal about bikes and how to maintain it. Good thing friend recommended me to this bike shop. The owner Jon and his staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. We came here to get advice on purchasing a bike off of Craiglist and then brought the bike over for inspection/​tune-​up before hitting the trails. As he inspected and fine-​tuned the bike, Jon took a lot of time explaining how the bike components work, walking me through maintenance 101, and even showing me a map of bike trails that are close to my neighborhood.
Sure, you can take bikes to any shop, but you won’t get the personal attention and care like you do at Fresh Bikes! If you have any cycling needs, definitely come here! All for a very reasonable price!

I live in Newport and had two bikes sitting in my garage that I did not use because they needed work! I wanted to be able to ride down to the Peninsula but had no way to get them to a shop in my small car! A friend told me about this go to your home bike repair so I tracked them down and called them!
Best service experience ever! Nice knowledgable people, worked around my schedule, fixed both bikes for less than I would have paid for one anywhere else and then dropped the bikes off at my home in time for the weekend!
Honestly, you can not do better than these guys! I wish every small business were run as well.
Thank you Fresh Bikes for my bikes and my new found freedom!

Changed the tubes on my son’s bike for him with no problems at a reasonable price.
Also helped me get some lighting for him. Easy to work with, they take care of business,

I had my first service this week. Johnny was on time and got right to work on our two bikes. About 2 hours later our bikes looked brand new. He walked me through the service he did on both bikes step by step.
Theses guys are very friendly and do good work. They don’t try to sell you on things you don’t need. Will definitely use them again.

Never come tho this place. They have a terrible staff and I felt uncomfortable.
Just because I have a raggedy bike doesn’t mean I should be treated tht way!

Never turn your back towards water.
And a new adage: Never bring your bike onto a crowded beach to watch giant waves. I did. It almost killed me. I wound up soaked, sandy, bloody, and bruised beneath a heap of people and bikes. I currently sport 9 distinct injuries and my days as a leg model appear to be over.
And then there’s the bikes. The two bikes brought out to the sand (because I didn’t have a lock) were also hobbled. One rode only in 1^st gear. Another lost use of 1 brake. The frames were intact but all of the other parts seemed bent, banged up, and bathed in a mix of saltwater and sand. In an instant, the bikes were no longer in working order.
Enter John, owner of Fresh Bikes, who says things like this:
* «I don’t have customers; I have hundreds of new friends»; and
* «I can deliver the bikes back to your home tomorrow» (free delivery and 1-​day service, this after another place quoted an 8-​day turnaround time).
After unfortunate customer service elsewhere, I’d roped the bikes into the car trunk and headed to the Fresh Bikes address listed on Unilocal where I was surprised to find myself in a residential neighborhood. John’s Fresh Bikes «store» (his bike– stuffed garage) was open and John was there and he stopped whatever he was doing and did whatever needed doing for me.
John quoted a price of $ 59 per bike adding, «if it runs less I’ll charge you less». Final cost ran $ 80 per bike but with this attitude and service level I was almost joyous to fork it over (credit cards accepted). There’s very few people in the service industry who exemplify what it is to provide excellence in service. John is one.
If you have a bike in need of repair, don’t hesitate to contact Fresh Bikes. And while you’re at it, ask John to tell you his hawk story.

I made a Unilocal account just so I can review these awesome guys.
Here’s the jist of what happened. I own a vintage schwinn le tour, and I had disassembled it so I can fly it into California from Chicago. Lo and behold my handle bar stem had a extremely unique part called an expander wedge that went missing. That and what seemed like an easy re-​assembly of the bike became a nightmare.
I must have called close to 15 stores to see if anyone would have the part. Almost all of them said they didn’t. I went to three different shops and was shocked at the amount of incompetence their bike mechanics displayed in trying to find a solution for my bike. Specifically I went to Sports Chalet, Jax, and Bike religion. (Imbeciles!!)
Frustrated I FINALLY got in touch with John at Fresh Bikes, and he said that he would most definitely find a way to make my bike work. Problem? I’m five miles away from John and no car. I start walking to him with a bicycle with no handle bar, NOTE: Dont’e ever try doing that. I swear my bike was possessed, and it kept twisting around like the exorcist.
Anyway, John was nice enough to check in with me and he came to me picked me up and fixed my bike like a true artist he is. Bikes are machines with little tiny parts that make it work. And John knows them like a true expert.
He’s a really nice guy, even gave me the perfect route to ride back. My bikes better that it ever was. His work is worth twice more than what he charges. I would recommend him to any and everyone who has a bike that needs anything done to them.
Thanks John!

I had 2 Specialized bikes from the 90s. Top notch quality under years of dust and neglect. Fresh Bikes came to their rescue.
Jon is the man. Extremely nice. Knows everything about bikes. Really shows he cares about his craft.
