Seamus Bike Shop

What a life saver? Seamus (sp) was able to fix my tire and get me on my way in no time at all and for a very reasonable price. This is the spot for immediate attention and great service.

Thanks Seamus Bike shop for the bike tune up! Great service and quick turn around. I’ll definitely keep coming back!

Seamus stayed late to repair my bike. He was friendly and knowledgeable and his price was almost ridiculously low. His is the kind of local business I’ll go out of my way to support.

Really good work. Not for a rush job though. Still, I suspect that may just be me because I brought kid bikes in. Love my new adult touring bike. In the shop: great selection, super fair prices.

Seamus and Shawn are bike experts. They are very knowledgeable, caring, loyal, and honest. The first time I went to their shop was just to peek in and check out their shop. That day I ended up buying Shawn’s bike bell for my folding bike, and he installed it for free. Two weeks later, I brought in my wife’s folding bike that I bought on Craigslist to have them check out the gears because it wasn’t shifting to 2^nd gear. Seamus was working that day, and he fixed it for a great price. He gave me an estimate and charged me the low estimate fee, which I thought was very honest and fair price. I also bought a touring bike that Seamus put together and he did an awesome job ¹⁰⁄₁₀!!! He pimped out my touring bike and it rides well and an eye catcher. A few days ago, I brought in my wife’s bike again because the back tire popped while we were riding (tires were old. Craigslist owner told me before he sold it to me that it was just sitting in his garage). I called Seamus, gave him the sizes of the 2 new tires I needed for my wife’s bike, brought it to the shop the next day, and they replaced it with new tires. I highly recommend going to Seamus bike shop. He knows his sh*t!!! Finally, one thing I noticed while sitting in his shop was that Seamus was willing to help anyone that walked in with bike issues. He even helped replaced a homeless man’s bike tube. Chat with Seamus and Shawn before getting your bike service and feel the passion they have for bikes. I felt as if I was in the 1900’s and watching two professional bike-​smiths work on my bikes. 2 thumbs up!!! I became a loyal customer.

Seamus is an excellent Bike Tech. He is easy to talk with and willing to teach you to do your own repairs. The quality of is work is the best. His prices would be hard to beat. Hours are late so working people can get their repairs done, usually while you wait. He also has parts for bicycles that have long been considered «vintage» by others.

I had a broken spoke fixed here on the spot. No reservation, no wait, it was done correctly and fairly quick for a decent price. The mechanic also adjusted my front derailer that kept dropping my chain. I’m no longer dropping my chain and shifting with ease. The fact that they’re open late is a huge bonus for those of us that bike commute to work. Getting my broken spoke fixed same-​day at 7pm wasn’t possible anywhere else downtown.

I’ve taken my bike here a few times and every time i have had a great experience. They are very knowledgable, fairly priced and speedy. They are also friendly and answered a lot of my questions about bikes and parts without trying to make a sale on their own inventory.

Seamus, himself, admits to not being a good businessman. This is because he is exceptionally honest, generous, and down-​to-​earth. Personally, I find these to be the highest qualities one could find in a businessman, and it makes doing business with him a pleasure.
This all goes without mentioning his mechanical skills. I believe only a bike mechanic can accurately analyze another bike mechanic’s skills, and I am not a mechanic of any kind. I will say, however, that I have owned my bike for about three years, and it feels the best it has ever felt after letting him work on it.
I have not found all of these qualities in any other bike shop I have been to. He has earned my trust as a customer.

Seamus provides a great service at a fair price. It’s good to know there’s a bike shop that cares about service first and foremost. Highly recommended.

I’ve tried lots of San Diego bike shops over the 10 years I’ve lived here, and I’ve finally found my go to shop. Seamus is knowledgeable, honest and has very fair pricing. I highly recommend this shop for any kind of bike. He has worked on my road and TT bikes with great results. Thanks!

We finished our after work bike ride at Monkey Paw one day last week — nice weather, great beer, all good. When I came out of the bar to saddle up on my bike I discovered I had a flat rear tire — shit! Only a couple of miles from home but I was in no shape to swap out my tube after a few pints in M.P. (Ijust not motivated) — I looked over accross the street and saw a becon of light, a bastion of hope, a BIKE SHOP! Swervily I walked my bike accross the street and sheepishly asked if they could fix my flat and sure enough, Seamus said «yup, 10 bucks» (because I had my own tube on board) and my life changed. Thank you Seamus Bike Shop for saving me that night, you now have a new and loyal customer. I’m taking my wheels in tonight to be trued and just might swing by the M.P. for a pint or two — bonus points for proximity to Blair’s newest joint. Amen.

While driving home one sunny afternoon I saw a girl on a bike and fell in love with the idea of how long it had been since I had been on a bike. Yes, my last bike was white with big thick tires, a purple and white color scheme, a white basket on the front with a pink gerber daisy on it, silver and purple sparkly streamers, and a baseball card in my back spokes to make me sound cool. Yes, you guessed it. It’s been a while since I’ve had some wheels.
My dreams were crushed for the longest time due to the fact that I am 5’4″ and literally every bike was massive and was an instant no each time. Too many bike shops later and many trips to Seamus to see if there was a bike anywhere my size, he told me never to give up and a bike will come around.
Fast forward my dream happening again last Saturday night. Walking from Monkey Paw three sheets to the wind to House of Blues for an Alkaline Trio show, my husband spots some little bikes outside of Seamus’ bike shop. We went to check them out. First bike was now what I wanted, until I saw the little beauty that would become mine. 1988ish year Bianchi Brava with Tiffany & Co. blue on the seat and name stickers. Just gorgeous. And it was my size. Seamus let me take as much time as I wanted looking at it and answering questions I had, making sure the sizing was appropriate for my petite stature and all. Fast forwarding, slammed a deposit down right before some girls tried to swoop it up from under me a few days later and after anxious long excitement filled days, my bike was finally ready tonight.
Seamus worked us a great and honest deal for what he was selling and is truly a listener to his customers. He put new tape on my bars and it looks like it popped out of a factory. Absolutely perfect. He fine tuned the bike and did a test ride himself to make sure it was all ready to go for me, above and beyond. Seamus has an edge on the bicycle shop scene because he’s like the nocturnal version of a bike shop; perfect for people like myself who get off late and nothing is open. Pedal by and I’m sure he’ll be there. Learn what days he’s in his shop and you won’t be disappointed when you swing by. He’s extremely personable and chances are you’ll get to meet his little dog too, also very friendly.
I highly recommend Seamus Bike Shop because they always receive a wide variety of inventory that all have some kind of history behind them.
Thanks Seamus for allowing my bicycle dreams to come true!

Incredibly helpful and honest pricing! I would highly recommend this shop especially because Seamus is very knowledgeable!

This spot is pretty dope. Seamuis knows his stuff, and is a straight shooter on advice. He’s pretty relaxed about trading parts in, if you have good stuff and are realistic in your expectations.
He helped me out with sizing advice for my girlfriend’s bike build, and had some dope parts to trick it out.
Nice atmosphere for a small shop, he’s great to sit down with and chat about your build.

Seamus and Fix is as real as it can get. His pricing is honest and his work is on point. Couldn’t have been happier to find him.

If you knew this shop and the owner. You wouldn’t need Unilocal to tell you to go. He’s a knowledgeable guy that does solid work for a fair price. Thanks for everything Seamus!

Seamus does everything here, and that can prove to be a bane as much as it is a blessing.
Seamus is one of the coolest and most knowlegable guys in San Diego when it comes to bikes. He leans definitely towards the old way of doing things, shying away from the carbon fiber and clipless stuff.
Seamus is a great mechanic, but not a very on point businessman. I mean he is not a businessman and that is just it.
The shop hours often seem ??? to … I kinda doubt that he ever sets or owns an alarm. Also, it is sometimes like pulling teeth getting Fix to call you back or keep you in the loop of what is happening on your bike.
I think Fix would benefit greatly by a computer savvy, managerial type person running the front end. Someone to cover ordering, fielding customer calls, website updates, and running errands. That way Seamus can focus on working on bikes and answering technical questions.
Being super-​laid back is awesome, but not to that extreme when it comes to running a bike shop.
