Sports Basement in San Ramon is a great place to shop for all your sporting needs. Plus, they have an awesome bike repair shop with friendly and knowledgeable staff.This isnt one of those bike shops that ignores you if dont look like a Tour de France rider. They also dont sneer if you dont have the $10k bike. They welcome riders in all shapes and sizes with all types of bikes.

Extremely helpful staff. The floor staff are always cheerful and willing to help. The bike mechanics go above and beyond to help customers on the spot, and - heres the best thing - they actually respect your time! Theyve earned my loyalty as a customer.

Went to buy a road bike for my son. It had a good selection of quality bikes and the store associates were super helpful in answering all our questions. They even offered a free 6 months service for the bike which is definitely a plus. It wasnt my first time shopping at Sports Basement and it definitely wont be the last!

Came in to rent an ibis ripmo AF mountain bike from sports basement in San Ramon. The bike speaks for itself. Lots of fun. The icing on the cake was the service these folks provided from setting up the rental online, picking up the bike and having it fitted for me and the return process. Every aspect of it was seamless and the staff could not have been more helpful or more friendly. nicely done folks, thanks

I’m a longtime REI member and, let me tell you, the service we received from Jesus at the San Ramon Sports Basement surpassed any I have received at REI. People, if you need ski or snowboard gear/clothing, head to Sports Basement. Our area snow/ski resources have closed and I was pleasantly surprised by the selection! We left with snowboard bindings and came back the next day for a snowboard travel bag. Join the rewards program and get 10% off. I felt like what we purchased was comparable to what I saw online. Plus tons of rental gear too. Recommend!! We will be back.

I worked with the bike shop staff (Sean, Jeff an co.) and they were fantastic and veryhelpful. Everytime I have used the bike shop I have always been impressed with customer service and never had to wait more than a few days if not minutes for my bike and they are always open and honest.

The San Ramon location is a short walk from my work, and I bike to work. When Ive needed service, most recently new brake pads and new headset bearings, Ive just come in before work, dropped it off, then come back on my break and theyve had me ready to go. You cant say fairer than that.Also, I once rocked up after a long and brutally hot ride, dehydrated as all hell, and they have a fantastic water fountain right by the service department. Absolute lifesaver.

Review №25

After taking my bike there for a year, they only messed up one time and they contaminated my brake pads/rotors while doing a break bleed. After riding finally getting on the trail about a week after the bleed, I immediately noticed the brakes not working nearly as well. I called them and they said to bring it in, after taking in the bike, they called me back a couple days later and said that they would take the blame for it and paid for both new rotors and new brake pads. It takes a good business to admit they might be wrong and do what they can to make it right.

The last few times at the store, I have bought several items including shoes. They used to ask if I wanted a bag or If I wanted the items put in the shoe box. Now all I get is a stare as I put the items in the shoe box myself.

First time here since shelter in place. Employees check your temp at the door. Everyone diligently wearing their masks.👏 Great customer service all around, as usual. My son wanted longer laces for the kids athletic shoes he found on sale, so the store employee went out of her way to make sure we found the right ones and even laced them up for him. Super nice touch.

Review №29

I have been going to Sports Basement for a while and usually have a good experience... however my experience this weekend was very poor. First they check your temperature when you come in-very haphazardly... one guy checks your forehead and another your wrist... and no one looks at the temperature... so why do it?? Once your in the store... I had an attendant follow me into the womens clothes area to tell me to adjust my mask higher... when no one was around me for miles. After feeling stalked.. I found a pullover that I liked that was marked down- and I liked it so much- I wanted to buy it in both colors. However unfortunate for me.. the new colored one did not have tags on it- and it was the last one of its kind. Regardless I took it up to the counter to buy it... only to feel interrogated about was there another- no!... Then- but-these are the same but different colors... did I know that?? Really... epiphany! But he walked over and checked anyway..., and then told me that the pants were marked down but not the pullovers. But- the pullover I had listed the mark-down price on the tag... With that after 20 minutes waiting in line... he told me he would honor the one pullover- which clearly listed the marked down price- but not the other with no price... He made me feel like I had down something wrong- because one item had no tags and was not marked, and apparently- They! marked the other wrong... It was a rude, terrible buying experience- by a bunch of callous guys- who should not be in customer service. It will be a long time before I go back to Sports Basement again!

I came into the store to shop for skis for myself and my daughter. We had good service from Marcelo. But I really want to acknowledge and recognize the service by Ron. He went above and beyond to answer our questions, anticipated our needs and I would say delivered 5 star++ service. I would recommend this place to anyone needing sporting equipment and especially to shop with Ron!

Sports basement is fun to browse through, it definitely doesnt come off as a big box chain, and has a very comfortable ambiance. They have fun events during the year, and you may be able to find a great bargain. They have a nice ski and bicycle section, and carry quality brands and accessories. Do put it on your go to places for sporting equipment, and accessories.

Id give them 5 stars but recently when reserving snow gear to rent, you never get what you ordered size-wise and need to double-check before you leave. Its a little extra work that would be great if eliminated. Other than that, great selection of things you may need and the staff is cool.

Review №34

I love this store. All of the locations actually. Great inventory, better prices than their competition and friendly, helpful employees. They also offer really good benefits when you become a member. Its a small fee to start a membership, ($25 I think?) but it more than pays for itself the first time you shop there because of the discounts members get. Great store. I highly recommend the whole company.

Love the selection of sports nutrition (fuel gels and electrolyte mixes)! I was able to purchase sample sizes to try out which is helpful. I got some great advise on new trail shoes. And I appreciated the responsible approach the store has taken by taking my temperature before shopping and using guided arrows to keep everyone safe. Good amount of parking and the staff is very friendly.

Good selection of running shoe brands and sizes. Minus one star for customer service: after spending $185 I wasnt even offered the option of a bag. As I exited the store balancing a pile of shoes, socks, and a hydro flask cap, I noticed a guy getting in his car with a sports basement bag. Maybe you have to spend over $200 to get the 10-cent bag?

If your version of sports involves being outside and you need gear, find your way to Sports Basement. At this outdoor retailer, you will find quality equipment, knowledgeable people, and reasonable pricing. Spend a few dollars to become a Basementeer to secure an additional discount off your purchases and other useful perks. The best thing about this company is that they hire and coach people who use what they sell so they know what they are doing and they do it really well. My visit included a quick temperature check at the door and then multiple offers of assistance by staff members in different departments. When I could not find something, someone appeared to help in the blink of an eye. As a person who loves to hike and camp, Sports Basement is a fabulous destination whenever I need supplies or equipment.

Sports Basement is a hidden gem in San Ramon and their staff are exceptional. Super nice customer experience ever!! Bike Shop staff are outstanding!! I needed help to tune and fix my sons bike that was not used for some time. Cordell Walker was the service rep who helped me and made me feel at home and showed me how to do things anyone one should know like adjust tire pressure, but I did not know, but all the same, he made me feel comfortable to get help and he serviced the bike immediately while I was waiting right there. I would be a customer for life!!

If you are into sports / outdoors and you leave in the San Ramon area, Sports Basement is just part of your life.There is always someone there to help me with any specific need.The whole staff at the bike department is incredible. A bunch of enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guys always ready to listen to you, come up with the best solution and if there is a little extra time, chat for a while about what we all like... biking!But that goes as well for the guys at the snowboard/ski department and I am sure its just the standard throughout the store.Great inventory, so I dont have to drive anywhere else to find what I need. And it would not cross my mind to order online something I can get at Sports Basement. Always have my member discount and there are always great offers.Already went on a snowshoeing expedition with SB and it was t the best experience ever. Our guides were not only a lot fun and experts but also great chefs!I think this business does a lot for the community, helping and encouraging people of all ages to stay active and do it the proper way.Thanks!!

Its really 3.5 stars, but that extra half star is for customer service. this location, while far less organized and stocked than the Walnut Creek location (note to managers: the product flow here is totally chaos and is a hurdle for new shoppers), is overrun with helpful and attentive employees (including one who eats on the sales floor; thats a fail). one in particular, Jamie, sets the bar for frenzied efficiency and problem solving. we really need her in Congress or Health Care, but for the meantime she is an asset to what otherwise looks like a struggling store in an abysmal location.

Need to make a separate line for people that already made a reservation online. This isnt the first time i had to stand in line with everyone else that were picking up skis. All i had to do was pick up my equipment. But i had to wait in line with people that were trying their gear on. This doesnt make sense. If you have already reserved your gear and payed for it you should be able to walk up and get it. Instead i waited 20 minutes to get my gear.

Sports Basement is the best! They have pretty much anything you want as far as sporting goods (except golf gear). All the top brands and the best prices around. Every employee in every department is pretty much an expert on all the gear. Theyre SUPER helpful. They know the merchandise inside and out. They help you find the perfect fit for what you need and dont just try to upsell you. Hands down the best place to buy shoes. They do a gait analysis and know just the right shoe for your foot. Plus theyre local to the Bay Area. I wont shop anywhere else!

I was in the hunt for snow gear to take on a weekend trip to Tahoe. This place has a lot of selection and really helpful staff. The secret gem is the rental section. I was able to find boots, snow pants, and gloves for the whole family, including a toddler.Prices are very reasonable and they dont charge for the pickup and drop off days, so you dont pay for days while youre in transit. Staff was friendly and quite helpful; I was able to make a size exchange after leaving without issue. I did notice that sizes can be limited especially on the weekends and with such a good snow season this year.They also allow for reservations online with 48 hours notice. Im hoping to try out their ski equipment rental on the next visit and look forward to coming back.

This was the greatest find! We rented clothes for 4 people at a very reasonable price for your Tahoe trip. They all came clean and in great shape. Some even new. i did under estimate a bib for my 3 y/o son, and we needed to rent something once we were in Tahoe. otherwise, it was great. we will likely plan to do again if we make it back up to Tahoe next season!

Great experience. This place is a real ski and board shop. Staff actually knows about the gear. Turnaround times on tuneups are the normal 1 day time frame. This is a breath of fresh air compared to the big box mountain shops in the tri valley. Prices are very reasonable, even though I would have paid more given the quality of the staff and their knowledge. Look forward to supporting this store and avoiding the big box corporate machines.
