One thing I've learned from bike stores in LA, the money is in bike sales, not in repair. So if I come in with a bike in my hands, I am the last on their list. I knew that was the case, so I hung out for a bit while the guy running the place was talking to a potential bike sale, but he saw and addressed me not long after I arrived. He had me bring my bike to the back and said it would be 10 minutes. I went to the bathroom and when I got back (5 minutes) my bike was done and he charged me $10. So to me, that was pretty good.
Pros: fast, reasonable price
Cons: claustrophobic atmosphere, had to wait to be seen
