Have used Mark to put together a few bikes. Super knowledgeable and efficient. As far as putting together the bikes my only complaint would be I personally felt he under tightened my seat and handlebars.No biggie as I caught it early into a ride but something to be aware of. I suspect Marks and others are hesitant to tighten things to much for liability reasons. However disc brake alignment, and gear indexing were executed perfectly.I witnessed him ride the bike for at least 20 min making adjustments which provides lots of peace of mind .Also all the advise he gave me on what I should upgrade or not upgrade was spot on. He even had parts to upgrade my bike to help it fit me as perfect as possible (since I bought my bike online).I would recommend him to anyone!
Terrific experience all around. The local bike shop was eight weeks out on tune-ups. 3rd Coast got all three of our bikes tuned-up within a week, one of which is a specialty bike with hard to find parts. Fast. Responsive. Convenient. Great prices. Great quality. Highly recommended.
The whole experience was easy, quick and professional. For a mom of two little ones juggling work and learning from home, the convenience of on site repair was fabulous! Our two old bikes that hadn’t been ridden in 20+ years were put back into working order within just a couple of hours. Highly recommend!
Marc took all the hassle out of getting all our bikes all up to snuff. He brought his shop our home so I didn’t have to drag large bikes all over town and did everything necessary to ensure they were safe for us but especially my kids. Highly recommend. Thanks Marc!
After ordering a bike online and over confidently thinking I could put it together, I found myself not knowing what to do with this bike in a box in my apartment, let alone how I would get it to a bike shop. The local shops were giving me 1-2-week turnaround time, on top of the fact that I had to go to them to drop off and pick-up! UGH! Enter scene: 3rd Coast Cycles and Marc. I sent an email inquiry via google search and immediately got a friendly response. I had no idea mobile bike services were a thing- genius! After a few funny texts back and forth we set up a time for a few days later! I could not have been more pleased with the personalized service and ease from start to finish! Marc arrived, came up to my apartment, we had a fun and engaging chat about misc things while he assembled, he even gave me some bike knowledge/tips, which I appreciated. (fixie bike- took 30/40 minutes assembly). In no time I was on my way riding my new bike! Best of all the cost was about the same (in some cases less) than what I was quoted from local bike shops without nearly the convenience of them coming to me! Marc was great and personable going above and beyond making sure the seat was low enough for my comfort (let’s just say a handsaw was involved!) I could not be happier to have found 3rd Coast Cycles and look forward to meeting the rest of the crew at their pop-up shop on the lakefront trail for tune-ups this summer!
This is the second year that I did my annual bike tune up with Marc’s team. Marc is very responsive and the team helped on tuning up and small parts replacement without additional charge. Good value. I tried a few other places before, Marc’s service gave the best experience so far and the bike has been in good condition through the whole summer.
Excellent service! He did a wonderful job tuning up my bike curbside, it couldn’t have been easier. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Best in the city!
This was my first time doing business with Marc due to me reading the reviews. I’m truly satisfied with the work that he performed for me, and I will be a repeat customer. Marc is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions and concerns. If you need bike serviceI truly recommend seeing Marc.
Marc from 3rd Coast Cycles makes it very convenient for you to have your bike fixed or tuned. He’s very knowledgeable and was able to diagnose an unusual issue I was having with my Trek mountain bike fairly quickly while explaining why this may have happened. Overall, I’m very pleased with this service and would recommend to anyone looking to fix, tune up or upgrade their current bike.
Really cant say enough about the service. Very easy - no schlepping of the bikes to a shop, no waiting weeks for the repair shop to complete the back log of work. Marc came out - talked to me about my very old Bridgestone bike and gave me his opinion on what I could / should do with it. I agreed. He tuned that one up and got it in working order and also educated me a bit about my vintage Cannondale and tuned that up as well. Would definitely use Marcs services again. He gained a long-term client!
Was very easy to schedule an appointment. Marc arrived when he said he would and did a fantastic job on our bikes. Will definitely be using his service for all tune ups going forward!
Marc and Wes were great - responded to my online request for a tune up within minutes, offering to pickup my bike whenever convenient for me. They completed the tune up, replaced my rusted chain, and had the bike back to me the next day. Highly recommend!
Mobile tune ups are much easier than trying to find time in your day to go to a brick and mortar store (for me at least! Marc is easy to work with despite his high demand business as the warmer months come to Chicago. This is the 2nd year I have used the service and have every intention of calling him next year!
Marc did a great job. Totally responsive to my on-line request, arrive on time, professional, super friendly and helped me out when I needed more help afterword. They will be my go-to company.
Amazing customer service And professionalism! I never leave without a smile! Marc and his guys always make sure all my concerns are taken care of and leave my bike looking and running like new!
I purchase my first real bike in years and they came to my home and assembled it. They explained how to operator my bike and explained to me how to maintain my investment.They have been a great resource, also available when i have questions.Great company to due business with.
This was a great experience: mobile shop came to our condo and got our bikes up a ready for summer for LESS than making an appointment and taking them into a shop. Highly recommend!
Needed by bike shipped from Chicago to California !They were able to come pick up my bike Pack it and ship it via FedEx for a reasonable price. Very timely and professional ! Would highly recommend this business for any cycling needs!
Mark and his team are awesome to work with. Very responsive and fast. This will be my new place for tuneups every season! Thank you!
Just rented a road bike for a week for second time from 3d Coast and it was great. Mark responds quickly, flexible, on time delivery - professional all around. Even got an upgrade on the bike, which was in excellent condition. Id do it again with 3d Coast.
Marc came out to fix my bike by replacing the tires, fixing the brakes and gears. Marc, did a great job and his services were very affordable. I will definitely be recommending him to my family and friends.
Marc is great! Super cool guy with an elaborate understanding of all types of bikes! I wouldn’t trust anyone else to fix and maintain my bike!
Mark and his crew are great! They offer good quality for a good price! Recommend 100%!
Marc was great to work with! This was a very convenient service and it was top notch! Highly recommend.
MikeWonderful, prompt, professional and kept his word about follow up appointment.I 💘 riding my bike his maintenance made my cycling like I was on a brand new bikeValorie
Awesome bike shop and repair shop. Great prices, helpful and relaxed staff, and an overall perfect neighborhood bike shop.
Marc with 3rd Coast Cycles was fantastic! He arrived to our facility and took care of our fleet of bicycles as scheduled and could not have been more professional and courteous. He made what would have been an arduous process of bringing 6 bicycles into a shop an absolute breeze. Thanks Marc!
Got my wheel fixed plus inner tube change. Cool guy, service was quick, and very convenient!
Very professional- friendly-on time -knows his bikes -hell wish I could invite him to my wedding in September in Jamaica
Great shop, fantastic location with a quick turn around. Mark even dropped off my bike!
Arrives on time, can fix anything, has equipment to fix whatever is needed, appreciate his friendliness
Thanks Mark! Rides like new!
Expert Bike Repair. Reasonable fee. Great service. Quick response to text message.
Last summer, I needed to replace an inner tube on my mountain bike, which also needed a tune-up because it had been sitting for the better part of 3 years. I thought it would be a quick, easy task to take the bike to a local bike shop. Well, I was wrong. The one closest to me had a FIVE day wait. I called two others near me, and they didnt even answer the phone. Finally, I looked for a mobile bike repair place. Not only did they answer the phone, but they were also able to pick up my bike within 1 day and return it to me the day after that. It was amazing, convenient service, and the owner is super nice. He even special ordered a rear-mounted bike light for me and made a separate trip to install it. (We had installed a high-mounted baby seat on the back of the bike, so it required a special bracket for the light. I had not bothered to tackle that myself.) I highly recommend this company and will not even bother with my neighborhood bike shop(s) again.
Marc is very knowledgeable and their curbside repair is a super convenient service.
Great service and quick @ a fair price!Mark is an expert and his dog Ronald is a extra bonus.
I have used this company many times to maintain and repair bikes. You get a lot more hand holding by Marc than you would if you went to a shop. Hell take care of your bike as if it is his own.
Voice mail says it’s full both days I called.
I recently crashed while riding on my bike, and I called these guys up asking if they could fix it, and they got it done within a day!
Marc did a great job and was very considerate and friendly. I feel that his service is far superior that what I have received at the local bike shops. Give him a try.JJC
Just had him do a total overhaul on my Specialized Sworks Roubaix. The bike runs like new and he was great in getting me some higher quality parts that saved me money over the pricey Specialized stuff.
