No one at a department store can tell your bike frame is bent, your brakes are loose, and your front tire has been stabbed repeatedly with a 16-inch serrated knife. The down-to-earth bike guys at San Diego Bike Shop can, and they’ll mend the weary wheels and sore spokes with the tender care most people reserve for friends, pets, and lonely mail carriers. For your bike to perform optimally, you should have it tuned up at least once a year. This Groupon gets you a full-service premium tune-up for just $27—half off the normal $54 price.

Your tune-up includes a cleaning (complete de-greasing and wash), lubrication (of all moving parts), truing (balancing both wheels, re-packing the hubs and headset), tire inflation (tires adjusted to proper pressure and tire dressing set), and adjustments (derailleurs, brakes, and bottom bracket). Most repairs are performed while you wait, and if the bicycle pros find a problem, they can quickly fix it with the high-end parts they stock (at an additional cost). San Diego Bike Shop’s bike geniuses know how to make a rust-riddled beater ride as smoothly as a hoverboard. Customers rave about the friendly neighborhood atmosphere, helpful staff, and fast, quality repairs.
