Good services, but a little expensive

The Bike Barn is located at the UC Davis college campus. Here, you can borrow tools to fix your own bike, but you can also purchase bike parts and accessories here, and also get bikes fixed by professionals for a hefty fee.
Last spring one of my bike tires was unaligned and I wanted to get an estimate on how much it would cost. They estimated it about $60 dollars, for the removal of the bike tire (labor), as well as the cost of the new bike tire. I didn't have my bike fixed at the Bike Barn; however, I did get the bike fixed for a mere fraction of the price (about $10).
The bike barn is conveniently located at the UC Davis campus. Whenever students need to fill up air in their bike tires or screw something tight, they come here for the tools and services (fill tires with air). The fact that it's on campus is ideal for students because students can just drop their bike off and then walk a short distance to class.
The services may be expensive, but because of their convenient location, they save students and adults a lot of time. I recommend this place for busy students and adults who are willing to spend a little more on getting their bikes fixed.
