Armen was thorough and followed through on his promise to have my bike done when he said he would. However, he ran into some original component failures while he was bleeding and installing new disc brake pads for my hydraulic brakes but remembered that he had a similar component that he could swap in that worked. Very thorough, smart work. My bike got more of an inspection than I was expecting. Great value.

If youre in Glendale or the surrounding area and are looking for a professional to work on your bike then look no further. They took my tired full suspension mtb and transformed it into a trail monster. Ill only ever be bringing my ride to bicycle pit shop for Armen to work his magic. 5 stars

Armen is very knowledgeable guy. I gave him my bike in a very bad condition, he right away told me what needs to be fixed, and guide through the repairing process, made it very transparent. No overcharging.Hi stick to the timeline he promised and once I got the bike back it was perfect. I never had the bike in such a perfect shape before. Besides Armen did some extra tuning( I only noticed after) for free without even letting me know. He does care!!

Armen is fantastic. He did a great job tuning up my recumbent bike. Extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him for small or large jobs.

We are in the middle of a deadly pandemic. Staff should wear masks! - (no, that was not the case. I was there in the am. No one was eating. Just three unmasked staff. When i went back at night to pick up my bike, man behind counter not wearing a mask. Im sure you provide a great service, but please be more conscious of reality of this pandemic.)

Very rude service! I called him at 2 pm to make an appointment for changing the tube. He asked me to take the bike at 5 pm,.When I arrived at 5:10 he refused to serve me and told that they are closed and that they require to be punctual. Plus no mask!Such awful customer service!

They do an amazing job and incredibly knowledgable at what they do. I had several issues with my mountain bike making it completely unridable and after bringing it in they made it feel as good as new! Definitely highly recommend! :)

Great service. Fast, and pricing is well worth the service. They know their stuff, and are straightforward about their work. I took my bike in that needed a lot of love, and now it’s working like a champ! Will definitely go back when I need something else done.

I came in for a tuneup and left with basically a brand-new bike! Armen did a terrific job on my bike, and right after upgrading it I went for a 40-mile trip. Highly recommend!

One of the best experiences of my life. Took in my beat up abused mountain bike in not knowing much about components or setup. Armen took his time to explain and suggest everything I need. I went home and did my research while my bike stayed with him. Through the process of my research I txted and called him about any questions I had and he helped explain everything to me. Finally ordered everything and handed the parts to him to complete the full overhaul. He sent me constant updates on the bike and anything that he found on the way of taking apart my bike that he recommended updating/refreshing He took his time and the amount of detail and time he put in my bike no bike shop would do. He didn’t rush at all he took his time. This is a rare type of service to come by in today’s world and I was lucky to have gone here for my bike. You get more than what you pay for. 6 stars for sure.

Armen did a fantastic job once again. He got me riding a few years back when I bought a used bike. He got me back on the road when I recently got back into it after a three year hiatus. He was very reasonable with the price and got it back quickly. I would highly recommend his services for anyone with bike issues.

Never realised how difficult it is to find a competent bike person til I needed one, after failed service at other establishments I stumbled onto Armen. Hes the must go to guy from now on! Super meticulous. Dont waste your time at other places only to feel no difference in the ride. Really!

Armen was super helpful on Saturday when I got stuck on my Zee hydraulic brake upgrade for my mountain bike. I brought my parts and he helped set it up so I just could mount it on once I got home.Very knowledgeable, reasonably priced.He is a services only shop right next to Glendale Pho Co. Doesnt sell bikes. He said hes been doing this for over 10 years and finally opened up this location.Thanks Armen!

The experience with bicycle pit stop was great. The work is done fast and at a low cost. I went to 3 bike shops until I found this one who carried the tool I needed to remove a bottom bracket. The work was done professionally. I went have my bike picked up from my location which was even more convenient for me. Hands down better than any shops Ive been to in the past 3 years.

Armen is passionate when it comes to bicycles which makes him all the more qualified to work on your bicycle. I brought him a road bike that I had just purchased for a tune-up and he gave me a quote and had it ready when he said it would be ready. Hes also such a cool dude that we chatted for a while when I went to pick it up. I mentioned that I wanted to upgrade the parts on my bike in the future and he gave me his insight. I will definitely be going back to him when that time comes.

I had a dilemma, my very faithful Rockhopper had both wheels stolen, ah sh!*%! Do i toss my great ride, or buy new wheels and upgrade some old components? I took it to Armen as a project if the price made sense. Armen was like a bike whisperer, he honestly told me the point at which it did not make sense to fix. Armen patiently threw me options and we landed on an incredible solution. So glad to have the Rockhopper back in action. In the words of Armen, this bike is made to be ridden... [new wheels, new rear derailor, new brakes, new cables]

Armen has been servicing my mountain bikes for a while now. His attention to detail is on another level. I much rather have one person handle it all whereas at a big bike shop youd have several different people working in the shop. Prices are fair and Armens extensive knowledge of bikes is helpful.

Armen takes great personal care of all the bikes he receives. Did a great job cleaning and fixing up my Cannondale, all at a reasonable price too.

Armen worked magic on my bike after others had failed to resolve an issue with my rear derailleur hanger. His passion for bikes is apparent and shows in his attention to detail. He goes the extra mile to make sure his customers are satisfied and treats his customers bikes as if they were his own. On top of that, his prices are very reasonable and he has a very quick turnaround time on his repairs. You wont regret taking your bike to Armen!

Armen was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. My bike rides way better than it did before he worked on it, and I learned a lot about how to take care of it. He gave me a great deal on a basic tune up, and went above and beyond. I would recommend him to anyone

Armen aka the bike whisperer is probably one of the most genuine bike dudes Ive met. Aside from fair prices, the quality of work this man puts into your bike cannot be matched. I love the fact that hell explain the reasons of why he recommends certain things which come from experience. Hes not peddling a part hes trying to sell you, he will tell you what is best for your needs. He is definitely my bike guy and will continue to get my business as long as hes in the business. Thanks Armen, see you soon bud.

Finally found an awesome person to service my bike. Armen is a highly skilled technician and has a lot of knowledge and passion about taking care of my bike. I came to him thinking I had a small issue but quickly was shown all the other services I had gotten in the past hadnt cleaned all the parts on my bike as they should have through the years. He spent the time and cleaned it out and it is running so clean and smooth its ridiculous. Just signed up for his monthly subscription to get the drive train cleaned twice a month, noticeable difference after going back for that also - well worth it if like me you are putting on a lot of miles weekly. I trust Armens suggestions and the quality of his work is the best, really enjoy taking my bike in knowing it will come out even better than before.

There are not enough good things to say about Bicycle Pit Stop! They fix all the bad work done by other shops and they pride themselves on giving you your bike back in perfect working order. They treat your bike like it was there own! This will be the only place I take my bike in for service from now!

Armin goes way far and above any bicycle shop you can go to around Glendale. Not only did he do a great job on my Raleigh street bicycle ( tune up the whole nine yards after it sat for 3 years for less than money and time than bicycle shops around), today he even helped fix a broken bicycle pump for me free of charge. Before he fixed my bike he came over late at night set it up for himself to look at right on my patio and gave me a free estimate. He worked for other local bicycle shops to so he knows the terrain. Please do stick with Armin if youre choosing to really get great service and undercut the competition. Im very happy with knowing him as a person and counting on his expertise with mexpertise

I have gone to Armen twice and both times he was quick. He is friendly Honest and has integrity. He knows what he is doing and he does his work good. He has pride in his work and is passionate about his work. I will only go to him and no one else. When I find someone who is good I like to stay with them and he is good. I have recommended him to some of my friends and family, and if you go to Armen for work done on your bike you too will recommend him to others, and soon too you will call him a friend. Dont be surprised if you see him at your families dinner table at your next familys get togethers. Youll just want to invite him and call him family, I know I will.

Cant recommend Armen enough!If you want your bike done fast, with great attention to details - Bicycle PIT Stop is the place!Armen works on any bikes : old rusty beach cruisers, high end carbon road and mountain bikes, electric bikes and anything in between. Dont mind his shop its his own garage, he has all tools and gadgets needed for the job.The bottom line is: If you looking for big and shiny bike store with all bells and whistles - PIT Stop is not for you. But if you looking for friendly mechanic with great attitude and high skill level - give him a shot, you wont be disappointed.And please, check out his yelp reviews before you make a decision.

Armens passion for restoring and repairing bikes shines through. I will never go to any other bike repair shop. Armen is very knowledgeable, fair and approaches his work as though it were an artform. To him, it is.He is incredibly meticulous about the details and doing things correctly. He is a straight shooter and flexible, which I appreciate - because he offers different options depending on how much money you want to spend. Hes easy going and does excellent work - if you are considering getting your bike tuned up or fixed, do not hesitate to call Armen, youll be so glad you did!

Upon first meeting with the Armen at the Bicycle Pit Stop, I was impressed in a multitude of ways. These ways are summed in three essential aspects: Quality of Service, Pricing, and Judgement of Character.There are many bike shops one may find online, however, of all the shops I called, Armen was quick to answer the phone despite how busy hes been working. Other places simply did not answer due to poor customer service or an inundation of work. He was organized and scheduled an appointment for me promptly. Upon arrival, it was apparent that many others sought Armen for his work. He explained to me his former profession, working for other bike shops who watered down their quality of work which disappointed him. He started his own business and strived to provide the best quality of service he could for each and every bike that came his way. He would treat each bike as if it were his very own.When providing his estimate for the cost of labor and parts, he was MORE than fair compared to what I felt other larger and impersonal bike shops would quote. His clear and transparent explanation of his estimates is a reflection of honest virtue.But most importantly, my judgement of his character is what clearly separates him from any other shop and professional. Armen has a passion for cycling in every aspect. Just as each bicycle is personalized for each rider, he personalizes his work for each bike and customer. No single detail is neglected and no single step is overlooked. I was very very fortunate to come across someone I could trust in ways that transcend past professional-business and into a personal connection. Armen’s friendship and service is a life-long staple for as long as you will choose to ride bicycles.
