Silva’s Bicycle Service

If you ride a high performance bicycle, there is no better place you could go to have it serviced than Silva’s Bicycle Service. Not only does he have exceptional mechanical knowledge of bicycles and a sure hand, he is also a dedicated road cyclist who rides daily. A man who babies his own bike (s) and understands the importance of having it good working order is surely going to baby yours as well.
Silva’s shop is a large garage in a residential neighborhood. In the middle of winter the shop door is likely to be closed, so make sure you knock on the garage door and not the house ;)

Simply put, John rocks! John tuned up my bike and fixed my finder even though it needed an unusual go-​around to get it done. He was quick and reasonably priced.

I won’t let anyone else wrench on my bikes. Given how much money we spend on our rides you should not let just anyone work on them. The quality of work and attention to detail is unparalleled and all for reasonable prices, if you live in Tracy or in any of the surrounding towns Silva’s bike shop is where you need to take your bikes!

Exceptional service! Knowledgable, clean, fast & friendly. Back to riding in minutes. :)

John, thanks for the awesome service today! Learned a bit or two about my bike too. I found my new bike guy now. :)

Just went to have my flat tire repaired but decided to leave it for a tune up. John did a great job! The bike looks great and runs like it’s new again. Quality work at a fair price with great customer service, what more can you ask for? I’ll be back!

Excellent service and very prompt. Unlike other local repair shops that have tried to jack up the price or insist you need to buy more than needed, John did a great job and fixed my son’s bike up on the spot. He even noticed the bike was not assembled properly originally and fixed that too. I’ll definitely be going back in the future.

We purchased a Schwinn Trike for my mom and we put it together ourselves. It went together well, but the right rear wheel had a serious wobble to it. Schwinn sent us a replacement axle and rim. Not knowing what to do with these parts we contacted John. We brought the trike and parts over to John that afternoon and he couldn’t have been nicer. His garage was spotless and he is very professional. He told us what he would do and he text’d us a couple of hours later that the trike was done. In addition to fixing the wobbling wheel and adjusting brakes he also went over the entire bike to make sure it was safe for our mom. His prices seemed to be more than reasonable. From now on we will be bringing our bicycles to John for all maintenance and repairs.

John cares. Period. You can tell he cares about you as a customer and always strives to go the extra mile to make sure you’re getting what you need as well as what you want in your bike service. I bring my bikes to him before every race and have all the maintenance for them done here. If you’re in the Tracy area and need bike work on your ride, look no further then here.
Oh…and if you wanna tip him… Starbucks gift cards work like a charm! ;-)

He not only is a good mechanic but stands behind his work — when he says satisfaction guaranteed he really means it. And it’s enjoyable talking to him about bikes!

I was thinking about where I could take my bike to get a tune up in Tracy beside Tracy cyclery because of passed experiences and then I found John Silva of Silva cycle shop. I called him up and he told me he’d work on my bike as soon as it gets there and will be ready by the end of the day at the LATEST. I showed up to the shop and it was clean and well kept. Very knowledgeable and customer friendly. Before I left he showed me a few things he’d suggest me to fix up before leaving instead of after, which I agreed upon to have it done. Just charged me for the part. Not even 3 hours later my bike is done. I show up and my specialized had never looked so good. John takes pride into his work and you don’t find that a lot now a days. I’ll definitely bring him more business! Thanks John!

Just left his bike shop & all I can say he is a true, genuine & kind person that knows a lot about bike mine specifically a road bike. I went there for a 1 on 1 tutorial on how to change a flat tire and showed me the basics on shifting gears. I will be doing a duathlon and later a triathlon and have no idea what to do if I get a flat. Learned so much in an hour. Prepare to get your hands dirty. He’s now my Lexa’s bike doctor & will be taking her there for tune ups too! Maraming Salamat John!

Best place to take your bike. John does quality work and really knows his stuff. He goes the extra mile and stands behind his work.

I recently purchased a Gary Fisher hybrid off Craigslist. The bike needed a tune up and wanted a professional to adjust my bike. I wanted to look up to see if there was any other bike shops instead than the Tracy Cyclery. After looking at Unilocal,I noticed Silva’s Bicycle Service standing out from the rest of the bike shop. Not only John was located in Tracy, but having five star reviews. John did a tune up on my bike. After John serviced my bike, it was running brand new again. I would recommend Silva’s Bicycle Service to anyone that needs anything done to their bike. He guarantees his work so you will have that peace in mind of it messing up again. John wants to make sure you leave his shop happy and satisfy. He puts every bit of his efforts to each bike he works on. His turn over rate is great and professionally done. Thanks John for all your help!

Having grown up in the bay area, there were always an abundant of bike shops I could go to for repairs like The Off Ramp in Santa Clara. Now that I’ve been relocated to Tracy, I needed to find a qualified bike repair shop. Honestly, I didn’t know where to look, so I decided to check out the Unilocal reviews. My initial search showed a good selection of bike shops in Livermore and Pleasanton, which is on my way to work, but I knew there had to be one closer. When I searched again, it gave me a few selections for the Tracy area, but one stood out from the rest. I saw this guy standing in front of a bike. I pulled up his Unilocal page and checked out a few more of his pics. Then I read the reviews. They were all 5-​Stars. The one thing that I noticed was he didn’t have a business address. Without hesitating, I picked up the phone and gave him a call. He was very knowkedgable and courteous.
The «business»: Johns shop is the size of a small house. It’s huge! Inside of his garage I noticed some of his personal bikes and some from other customers. Those bikes were the Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes Benz of bikes. My bike (15 year Specialized) was a VW compared to those bikes. Did I mention that his garage was cleaner than most restaurants?
The service: John is a highly skilled and knowledgeable bike mechanic. He did a complete tuneup from front to back and cleaned up the bikes. When he was finished, both (my wifes bike too) bikes looked brand new. John did a couple of extra things for free and the price of his service was reasonable. 5-​Stars!

John really makes his company stand out by providing excellent customer service as well as prompt and professional technical service. John was extremely accommodating with scheduling time and turned my bicycle around promptly. We’re very fortunate to have Silva’s Bicycle Service here in Tracy.

I decided to upgrade my Cannondale CAAD9 from Shimano Tiagra to SRAM Force groupset. I contacted John and he offered me a price I couldn’t refuse, so I drove from Walnut Creek to Tracy to have my bike serviced.
I was also upgrading my Tiagra crankset with English style BB to an FSA BB30. This upgrade required a special tool to remove the BB30 adapter and John offered to order it. He also gave me a tutorial on how to use the «DubleTap» shifters, since I was used to Shimano. He is very detail oriented.
I would strongly recommend John’s services. He is very trustworthy and communication was great.

If you want to have total peace of mind with your bike: have John Silva do any needed work on it! Honesty and Integrity are the hallmarks here. This guy is GOOD, DETAILED, REASONABLE, and just plain a cool guy!
Highly recommend!

Do you want outstanding superior service? Do you desire the best in utmost detail? Do you expect the BEST from the BEST?
Well your search is over for your bike issues! From a small fix to a major complete build from start to finish. You only need to go to one place. And this is THE place! He is the bike builder that you’ve always wanted and will ever need.
Even though I live in Modesto, I will drive the extra 45 minutes and send all my high-​end bikes to one person to work on. And yes, it’s John Silva, of Silva’s Bicycle Service.
Just recently I had a complete new bike build for John to work on. It was a Pinarello Dogma 60.1. John had all parts present and with only several days out of the hospital nursing a injured leg. He did the impossible of getting my Dogma on the road from bike parts and frame to a complete bike in several days.
Every detail was present in this bike build and he was like a Picasso as he built up the Pinarello. What a work of art.
John has worked on my Specialized Tarmac before and I was very pleased on his detailed service. That is why I trusted him on my «Dream Machine» and no one else.
Trust the BEST and leave the REST! Another very happy and satisfied customer.
Thanks John!

I brought my bike in about a year ago for some minor adjustments and everything went very smoothly.
I have only had my bike for two years so I haven’t really done much for it other than clean, grease and such but I’m scheduled to bring it in for a major tune up (after the one that I got for free at the store where I purchased my bike). I have heard all good things about John’s service and end result of his work so I’m bringing my bike to him for sure. He is very detailed and gives your bike the personalized attention it needs. He doesn’t rush his work. He makes sure that your bike is all set for the road because he cares for his fellow cyclists. :)
Highly recommended!
