Tim was quick to respond to my questions about bike repair. I dropped off two different bikes over two different days. The first bike needed a complete brake job. Tims pricing was fair and the job was completed in 24 hours. The second bike needed a basic tune up and was finished the same day I dropped it off, not to mention it was a holiday when Tim easily could have taken the day off. Affordable bike repair never closes, making it super convenient to drop off and pick up your bike. I have brought bikes to other local shops and the turn around time was a good week. I will definitely continue to use affordable bike repair for my biking needs and highly recommend to others.
Been going to Tim for about 3 years now. We have 4 kids under 8 so we break bikes a lot. Discovered Tim by accident on google and felt weird dropping off the first time but really it’s a great system. Tim and his crew are very responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. Several times they’ve fixed something minor right sway without charging me. Their prices seem fair and straightforward. It’s never taken more than a day for a bike to be ready for us which is great for the kids. I didn’t even meet them the first year I was going to them but since I have met them now they are friendly and helpful. It may seem different at first being in a residential area but once you figure it out you know your bike is In the best hands. I think this is my first google review ever is how impressed I am by them!
Our family has always trusted Affordable Bike Repair for repairs and just purchased a nice used bike for our teen. Good quality for a fair price!
We have been going to Affordable Bike Repair for a few years now. Our bikes have been tuned up, fixed, we have changed seats and wheels for us and our two kids. This year our oldest needed a new bike and we found one there. Needless to say, the work is amazing at a low cost! Tim is friendly, patient and helpful.
Affordable Bike Repair is a hidden gem in Appleton. Tim is wonderful to work with, he is straight forward, honest, and very knowledgeable about bikes. We have used Affordable Bike Repair twice now and the turn around is fast! The first time our two bikes needed a tune up and were done in less than 24 hours. The second time our bike trailer wheel needed new bearings and Tim got it done in less than 4 hours. We will definitely continue using Tim and Affordable Bike Repair for all of our biking needs!
Tim and his employees at Affordable Bike Repair are awesome! Tim has been repairing and tuning up my family’s bikes for more than 10 years. His prices are fair, his workmanship is superb, and his turn around time is quick (usually 24-48 hours). I will continue to bring my bikes to Tim for maintenance and repair.
Dropped off my bike to replace the rear tire. Tim had it done in less than 24 hours. Service was fast and professional at a fair price. Had it in for repair last spring, he went through the whole bike and got it working like a top. Even though my cousin has a bike repair business in his garage across town, Ill keep coming back to Tim because he is closer and I know the kind of work he does is excellent.
I recently moved to the area and my bikes back tire didnt survive the move. I took it it and Tim was very friendly and professional as he went over my options and explained how his shop operates. My tire and tube were swapped and my bike had a full tune-up, all in one day!I definitely will be coming back for all of my tune-ups and repairs in the future.
We recently dropped off a second bike at ABR to be tuned up. (Perhaps resurrected would be a better word!) Both were rather old and uncared for. We were very pleased with the results and reasonable prices! We have also used the shop for quick repairs like tires or brake fixes. Always friendly service and speedy turn-around!
An excellent repair store and also used bike store. Like the name, very affordable with quality! I went to repair 2 regular kids bikes. Tim happen to be around and made few suggestions to reduce cost and future maintenance. I also ended buying a bike which I had not planned :) I will refer and use the services again. Thank you!
Tim was great! I came in a couple of years agoin search of an accessory to help relieve tension on the tendinitis in my forearms. After we talked through what my issues were, Tim sent out an order for exactly what I was hoping for, set it up on my bike, give my bike a tuneup, and had it all set up and ready for me to ride within a number of days. Friendly and very helpful. Thanks so much!
Spectacular service! Tim helped out immensely by assembling an adult trike for me, even though these bikes can be a major challenge. Job was speedily completed after just one day and done in a professional manner at a very reasonable cost. Any further problems with all our bicycles will definitely be handled by ABR! Tim comes highly recommended by me!
I was so pleased with the service at Affordable Bike Repair. I called and the message said for a quick response to text. I sent a text and got a reply quickly. The drop off was easy as was the pick up and paying. Grateful to have found this gem of a service in the Fox Valley!!!
I recently brought my grandsons bike in for repair. we had the bike for six months .A new bike that never worked right from the start. Tim had to find new parts for it because most of the parts on it are after market parts and the bike was not set up right to begin with.He found the right part and went over the bike completely. We now have a happy grandson and happy grandparents as the bill was very affordable.You cant go wrong bringing your bike problems to Tim.
Very nice business. Drop off and pick up is seamless. The work performed on my bike overhaul was done well. Would recommend
Excellent experience! Very knowledgeable about bike repair. Got my daughters bike going again. Its good like brand new
I have a StreetStrider that I was having some issues with. I was amazed at the knowledge, courteousness and professionalism of this small bike shop.My experience was so amazing! I would recommend Affordable Bike Repair to everyone I know. I’m so excited to continue to enjoy my StreetStrider safely and happily! Thank you so much!!
Very cordial and just fun doing business w/them and did a GREAT job...Satisfied in all aspects..
Dropped off my bike to have the brakes looked at and Tim texted later that day saying it was ready already. Also dropped off my daughters bike as her chain kept falling off and it was ready that same day. Easy process to drop off bikes without needing an appointment. Great service, would highly recommend!
Both of my tires were flat. Tim did a great job on replacing my tubes and getting me back on the road. He was fast and the price was very reasonable. Drop off and pick up is very convenient. Will be back to pick up a used bike for my son.
Just picked up my bike after having a tuneup. Tim was responsive, efficient, and the value was great. I just took my bike for a few mile spin around the neighborhood and tested all brakes, gears, and wheel alignment. Great service, great work. 👍
Awesome people and excellent repairs. I drive all the way from omro to Appleton to have these guys work on my bicycle.
Happy this shop was referred to me. Take your next bike repair to Affordable Bike Repair. You won’t be disappointed. I had a front wheel converted to quick release. Quick release working great ! Come fall taking my two bikes (bike I had worked on belongs to my son) for tuneups and some part replacement.Tim keep up the great work!
Great service! I dropped my bike off with the very convenient after hours option and had my bike tuned up and fixed before noon the next day! The battery in the speedometer had even been replaced! I will definitely bring my bike back in the future.
Awesome experience. Had a bike I havent ridden in years tuned up and bought one of their used bikes. Added a couple basic accessories, left feeling like I got a great price on everything, and like Tim and Cam REALLY care about the customer. No pressure to buy something more expensive, just encouragement to find something that fits my needs and pocketbook.I highly recommend them as a small, local business worth checking out as a better alternative than the big box chain stores.They really know their stuff. Thanks!!
Highly recommend Tim and his services. We had an issue with my husband’s bike that would have ruined our biking plans while on vacation over 4th of July week. We dropped the bike off at 8 am, went to breakfast, and when we came back the bike was good to go. Reasonable cost for emergency service to boot. Biking plans saved. Thanks again Tim!!
Tim does a great job and has a system for drop off and pick up that is convenient and safe. I have had my own bike fixed and my daughters bike fixed. Both times the bike was ready really quickly, and the repair was done well. I recommend Affordable Bike Repair to family and friends and will continue to do so.
Tim was great - he was able to have my daughters bike fixed in less then a day. The bike would not shift correctly, he did a full tune up and adjusted the shifters. The cost was average to other shops in the area, but his turn around speed was awesome! Other places were 7-10 days out.
I was looking for a used bike for the kids. Didn’t find what I wanted but dropped off 2 bikes for a tune up. Great prices and friendly service.Thank You
Quick responses and quality repair at an affordable price. Recommend to everyone I know looking for repairs
I brought my bike in at my convenience on a Sunday and dropped off and said back tire needs fixing. The owner replaced my tire and fixed my brakes, for a very reasonable price in two days. Definitely recommended!
While most other local shops quoted 7-10 days for a full bike tune up, these guys turned it around in less than 30 hours. I also appreciate their suggested upgrades. Thank you for being so responsive!
Easy in, easy out. Super friendly and repairs were done right away for a fair price. Thanks guys!
Is a great place for bicycle repair. Fair prices and a good turn around time. We appreciate your help with fixing a bike that has special meaning!
I took my bike in to Tim on March 22 for a spring tune up. I walked into the shop and saw a lot of bikes with repair tags. I asked what the lead time would be (fully expecting a week or more) for a tune up. I was surprised when told a day or two. I picked up my completed bike on March 23 and couldn’t be happier.Questions were answered and repairs completed in a timely, professional manner and at a very reasonable rate. I will definitely be heading back to Affordable Bike Repair for any future bike needs. THANKS Tim.
Absolutely perfect and incredibly impressed! It gave me hope in humanity! Drop off and pick was so easy and well explained through owner’s online video. They went above and beyond for a very reasonable price. Will definitely recommend and be back!
Super fast, professional and honest. Knows hows how to work on bikes. Was done in 24hrs and rides a ton better. Better then most of the bike sales shops. Reccomend to anyone
Tim is the best. On time & amazing turnaround time on repairs, high quality workmanship. Gives great advice on repairs and accessories also.His experience in bike repairs is unbeatable.
Dropped my bike off afternoon on Tuesday received call that repairs were completed on Wednesday afternoon.Not only did he make the repair I dropped it off for, but took care of other adjustments.Very pleased with service!
Fixed rear wheel hub on my sons bike. Excellent price done in same day! Gave great advice, feedback and answered all questions. Definitely recommend!
Absolutely amazing work!!! My son was very pleased. Thank You❤️❤️
Wow, owner was on site. He made sure I got what I wanted and I was comfortable. Thank you for awesome experience🚲
Ive had 3 bikes repaired or fixed here and love the convenience and service. The price is reasonable and the people are very knowledgeable! The walk-in self-service drop-off and pick-up make it so easy.
Ive taken my bikes to Tims shop in the past for tune-ups and it was a no-brainer to bring one of my bikes in for some more custom type of work beyond a tune-up. He is fast, affordable, friendly, and professional. The turnaround was also fantastic...1 day. Such a great system to be able to drop off and pick up any time. Thanks!
Ive had such great affordable service and the turnaround time is always excellent. Thank you Tim for such a great job and my grandsons thank you too
Tim responded to my questions fully before I dropped off my bikes. He called before doing further repairs that were necessary and pick up/ payment was super easy and on my timeframe. He got my bikes completed in less than two days. His prices were much less than I’ve paid prior. When I need tune ups or something more complex, I will use Affordable Bike Repair again.
Tim did a great job on replacing my rear brake cable. He was fast, convenient, and very reasonable. This is the second time we have used his repair service. Thank you.
Tim was fantastic. He helped me bring back to life a classic vintage 80s 10 speed! Highly recommend.
Excellent service, had me in and out the door in less than 15 minutes for $15. Fixed the core problem. You can tell this guy knows his stuff!
I have used affordable bike repair several times and have recommended it to family and friends. Always very fast and great quality repair.
Quick and quality work for a good price. Real nice guy
Every bit a five-star experience. From first meeting Tim throughout all of our business and discussions.
Tim is a class act and does great work to boot... Our tandem is running great. Thanks again!
Who ever heard of the honor System wow it was really easy to drop my bike off and he was done with my bike the next day got to speak with him very personable goes out of his way to save you money with the pandemic its very hard to get a bike and parts when he realizes that and tries to do anything to get your bike running... extraordinary business owner
Found a bike on Facebook market for our son. Messaged Tim and he replied the same hour. We were even able to go pick up the bike the same evening. While there Tim counseled my husband and I on what would be a good size for our son, and we ended up buying a different bike than the one we initially looked at online. What an easy streamlined process. We were so happy to still go home with a new bike for our son for Christmas. He was beyond thrilled with the quality of the bike as weve typically bought department store bikes in the past and this one is a Trek. Thanks, Tim! Well definitely call again.
I took my grandson’s bike in to get a new back tire. It was done in one day and was great service. He was very personable and friendly.
Prompt, courteous, convenient and quality service. Highly recommend.
Tim does wonderful work in a short time. I highly recommend Tim!
I have known Tim Lutz and worked with Tim as a firefighter for the Appleton FD teaching classes in First Aid and CPR and with Tim at the Appleton Bike Shop teaching classes about his love of biking and how to be a careful and responsible rider.Tim is passionate about biking and will not compromise his work when it comes to safety, maintenance and professionalism as a bike specialist.When you worked with Tim at the bike shop and now as Tim owns his own business, you know that the work will get done in timely fashion and it will be done as though Tim would want his own bike to be done!!Thank you Tim for your professionalism, your great work and your friendship over these many years I have known you and worked with you.
The repair and tune-up was done incredibly quick. Im talking same day I dropped it off. I felt Tim was very honest about what was wrong, what needed to be done, and what to do in the future regarding maintenance. Prices were incredibly fair and I appreciate that he guarantees his service as well. It may be January, but I cant wait until spring to enjoy my freshly tuned up bike. I will definitely be using Affordable Bike Repair in the future and recommending it to everyone I know!
These guys are great had them fix my fat tire recently and rides better than ever, highly recommend. Staff super friendly as well :)
They impressed me and I was nervous/hesitant at first. Recommended by a friend. Wont go anywhere else now.
We took 3 of our bikes to Affordable Bike Repair to get tune-ups. A couple months later, while riding one of the bikes, the back tire locked up. We took it back to Tim and he repaired it at NO cost! We really appreciate that he stands behind his work! We will definitely go back whenever we need bike tune-ups or repairs.
Tim has repaired and/or given our bikes tune-ups for over 3 years now. He is friendly, professional, timely and Great at what he does. Plus, AFFORDABLE! What more could you ask for... Thanks, Tim
I had not used my bike in about 5 years while I previously lived in Milwaukee. After moving to Appleton I wanted to begin biking again. I contacted Tim via text on a Sunday and let him know that I fully expected that the bike would need the full treatment (bleeding brakes, tubes, tires, etc) and he said that I could drop it off that day and he would take a look. He reached out to me later in the day and told me that overall almost all things that I had mentioned were actually in good working order and that my bike just need a tune up and a bit of TLC. He texted me on Monday morning letting me know that he had finished it and my total. I picked up the bike after work that day and rode it home about 2 miles. My bike hadn’t felt that smooth in years. Great communication, great work, great turn around time and great price! I will be back each time I need any work on my bike.
Fast quality service! Tim had both of our bikes tuned up and working great next day! Thanks for the great service!
Very accommodating to take care of the customer (me) to make sure I was satisfied. Treats you like family :-) would recommend him to everyone I know.
Did a great job tuning my bike, I definitely will return when I need servicing
Brought my bike here a few times, always a great experience and work done is exceptional. Affordable prices, highly recommend.
Absolutely great service! I have been taking my bikes to Affordable Bike Repair for years and the service is outstanding.
First time user. Ultra fast service and great value. Easy to drop off/pick up. I’ll be back!
Very polite, informative. Nice clean shop.
This guy is one of the most friendly, knowledgeable and customer service oriented people Ive met in a while. I would never regret spending money with a business like this.
Awesome! Service! Price! Follow up! Thorough! Friendly! Affordable! And did I say awesome? Can’t go wrong with Affordable Bike Repair. They helped with 2 recumbent bikes and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend.
Tim is very professional. He fixed my flat tire in 24hrs. Ive visited his shop twice and both times I was extremely satisfied! I will continue to give him my business and tell everyone I know to go there as well.
I am not aware of another business that does such quality work, at such an affordable price...HGT!
Very well done, quickly, with an explanation of all of the services that would need to be done. A great experience, and the bikes ride great now!
This guy is really incredible and reasonable. My son had a flat tire and needed the bike fast. He replaced it in like 5 minutes. He suggested a tire replacement because the tire had less than 20% left. That too was fast and reasonable! Really excellent place compared to all the big box store
The name says it all and easy drop off and pick up!
Tim is easy to work with and does great work. Responsive communicating. Thank you!!
To say that Tim is responsive and helpful is a gross understatement. He goes out of his way to help. Our first experience was fast, appropriately priced and helpful. Full job on my wifes bike and no charge to look over my new, used trike. Our second job, resulted in Tim coming to our house, on a Sunday afternoon, and helping both myself and my wife get our recumbent trikes properly set up and only being charged a small fee for his expertise. We werent expecting same day service. If you want quick, responsible and friendly service, pick up your phone and call Affordable Bike Repair. You wont be sorry. 👍👍 Thanks Tim!!
If you need your bicycle repaired, this is the place to go.You can go any time you want, for both dropping off and picking up. To drop your bike off, fill out the receipt ticket, and keep the bottom stub that has a number. You are welcome to lock your bike with one of his provided locks, where you can take the key with you. As far as picking up your bike, you can get it at any time as well, unlock it (if needed - there are 8 security cameras), drop your payment in the box, take the bike. I cannot express the gratitude I have for Tim. He is a volunteer fire fighter as well.Previous review follows:Much respect to you. The bicycle is now in perfect running condition and I still have cash left over to grab some fast food. Charged less than the quoted price, as well as getting the bike done in less time than estimated. Thank you so much.
Always professional, gives suggestions, friendly, organized. Use their services every year.
Had my bike repaired and also bought a used bike at ABR. Great to see such a throwback to high quality community minded service to the community!
Great experience, fast, easy and effective. Soon after dropping off my bike I received a text with an estimate and repair cost. The repair was done soon after and the price was reasonable. The contactless drop off and pick up system is fantastic, five stars!
I brought my road bike here after being quoted at a large bike shop in Appleton. They quoted me 200$ for parts and repairs, which I couldn’t believe. I brought my bike here, and not only did they tune my bike up for 75$, but they were done in 24 hours, and my bike was riding better than the day I bought it. Simple, small business perfection. Thanks guys.
Excellent service and prices
Friendly, fast repairs and reasonable prices.
Tim provided excellent service. Our bikes were like new after his repairs and for a good price with fast turnaround. Tim is personable and helpful. He let us know about additional repairs. He outfitted me with a great used bike and then dropped all three of our bikes at my house!
Couldnt be happier! Brought 5 bikes in on Friday afternoon of a holiday weekend. Got a call Sunday afternoon that they were ready. Our bikes ranged from a cheap Walmart bike to a Trek... all came back riding better than they ever had for a very reasonable cost. So happy with the services and the system Tim has set up for drop off and pick up.
I had my bike sitting in various garages for 10 years as I moved around and it went unused. I took it to get tuned up and was extremely impressed with their service. While doing the tune-up they noticed an issue with my bike and let me know. Not only were they able to repair it, but they did it inexpensively. I had forgotten about the issues I had been having with the bike pretty much since I got the bike over 20 years ago with the chain and changing gears. Ive taken it to many repair shops over the years for tune-ups and none ever mentioned or noticed the part that needed the repairs...these guys did. Now I no longer have any issues and my bike is like new again. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning for all my future repairs and tune-ups!
Tim has now repaired one bike of ours and helped put together and tune up another. He is extremely responsive, very customer focused and a true professional. He even tuned up our broken bike after he repaired it and helped load it into our car for the ride home. Very easy to work with and everything we have brought him was done in a day or two. Truly appreciate his work and it’s very affordable priced! Thank you Tim! We will be sending more of our friends and family your way. Wouldn’t take our bikes to anyone else.
Super fast! Its obvious Tim enjoys what he does.
Oh my gosh! I am visiting Appleton for the summer, and I bought a bike unseen. The gears were a mess! It was fixed and like new in 4 hours. Im SO impressed!!! Immaculately kept! And a welcoming atmosphere. I cant say enough about how happy I am. And Im from California, so Im not a friend or family.
They did a great job finding and correcting a problem with my road bike that two other shops couldnt solve. The 24 hour drop off and pick up is really easy and turn around is a day or two. Highly recommend this shop.
Excellent, prompt, and affordable. Highly recommend!
