Just took in my husband’s new mountain bike to get set up, and we were blown away by Armen’s knowledge/expertise/passion for bikes. Not only did he set up the bike the same day, he had very useful/helpful recommendations and advice. It’s very obvious that Armen is the best when it comes to bikes. We 1000% recommend him and look forward to working with him again and again.

Overpricing and overselling. I went there for a simple rear derailleur adjustment. A young associate gave me a whole used car salesman routine how the previous mechanics have done a horrible job and recommended a 350$ service. He wouldn't do just the derailleur, the company "policy" was that a 150$ basic tune-up is a minimum. Ended up fixing it for 15$ in another shop nearby. Unless you are a Maserati type of guy who just wants the job done and doesn't care about $$$ (they are probably good mechanics) avoid this place.

Having your bike worked on by Armen at Bicycle Pit Stop is analogous to having the master technicians from F1 work on your automobiles. He will make sure your bike performs flawlessly lap after lap at peak performance and ensure that after your ride you land at the podium race after race. What turned me onto Bicycle Pit Stop was their level of knowledge and attention to detail for all things two wheels. I have trusted all my bikes to Armen since he opened his shop in Glendale and will follow him as he continues his journey in this space. If you take your cars to jiffy lube for service or use drive thru car washes, then please go elsewhere. This shop is where enthusiasts flock to. Armen and his staff live and breathe bikes. He is better at setting up your bike than the manufacturer. His comprehensive approach to diagnosing problems and offering cost effective solutions to ensure rider safety on and off the trails is of paramount importance, and must be highlighted here. Kudos to Armen and Bicycle Pit Stop. They're artisans and will exceed your expectations from the moment you walk in the door. Thank you for what you do for the community and all the time you have spent on my bikes. Appreciate your expertise, keeping me updated at all times, and best of all your customer service. Can't wait to get my bike back with the new Hope brake system!

Received two flat tire tubes after ridding my bicycle on terrain with sharp debris. Previous bicycle shops in Pasadena, California which have handled my bicycle are authorized Trek bicycle retailer shops with Trek gear and Trek overhead and tools. Both bicycle shops have handled my Trek bicycle and upon receipt of bicycle their craft was horrid and my bicycle performance dwindled. Weight was added and alterations were made which impacted the lifetime warranty of my Trek Bicycle. On September 19th, 2023 while looking for new Bicycle routes all in due for Uni. Bicycle Pit Stop doors stayed opened after operation hours. Two Bicycle Maschinist remained handling bicycles in the Bicycle Pit Stop Bicycle Maschine Shop. Dropped off my Trek Bicycle the next day and picked up my Trek Bicycle after 06:00 PM. Los Angles, California (PST). on September 21st, 2023. My Trek Bicycle was personally handed to me and immediately knew my Trek Bicycle was better than when I purchased the Bicycle from actual Trek Retailer. I am only allowing Armen to go anywhere near my Bicycle and help complete Trek Bicycle Maintenance, Assembly, Construction, Deconstruction, when needed. Tubeless tires are next! Only allowing Armen and Bicycle Pit Stop for ANY and ALL installation ( s ). Thank You, Armen and Bicycle Pit Stop.

I was caught in a jam on a ride. I searched for bike shops in the area as the sun was starting to go down and the thought of having to call a Lyft to pick me and my broken bike up was unsettling to say the least. It was about 15min till close and I spoke with the owner and told him about my situation, he assured me not to worry that they wouldn’t close and would help me out of a jam. Not only did they fix up what was broken he also didn’t charge me. For good karma I threw him a $20 anyways. Good customer service.I

Went today and the guy at the shop was very unfriendly. He also gave me a quote of $150 bucks to change the chain on a single speed bike plus the front wheel. I have no idea what the other reviews are sp happy about. Called another bike shop and told me it's only $20 bucks for the chain plus labor.

Discovered this local shop just recently and took my Giant ebike built by Luna Cycle in for a full tune up. After 800 miles and 4 years, my ebike was overdue for servicing. Armen the owner is very hard working and a perfectionist who really cares about his work. The shop is super organized and Armen sent me MMS text updates with detailed pics showing the exact work he was doing. Without a doubt, his shop deserves a 5-star review and I will be a loyal customer. The rate for all the service he did was totally reasonable and my ebike is now better than new. Armen had the entire ebike stripped down and was returned to me in impeccable condition. This local shop is a gem and conveniently located in the heart of Glendale by City Hall.

What can I say? A gem of a bike shop in Glendale. Pit Stop is by far the most knowledgeable shop I've visited all thanks to Armen. He has been honest and supportive with the transformation of my Giant TCR. Amazing what it is now in comparison, I brought my bike thinking I was bringing it to a "typical" bike shop but this is anything but typical. Hypothetically speaking !! Lol..

Great service. Friendly owner. Armen fixed my bike on the spot. I've been riding bikes all my life and I too am in the service industry. I am proud to give him a shout out. He's your man.
