Dan's is such a great local bike shop! How awesome is it that they've had this business since the 40's? I also learned they're third generation which I think is really cool.
We popped in here last weekend to get some chain oil for our bikes. We didn't have a preference on the type so we were just peeking around. We were greeted when we walked in right away and everyone inside was wearing masks.
The open concept here is great so you can easily see the bike selection. They also have a ton of parts and accessories to choose from.
The chain oil was appropriately priced and we were able to find it easily. Everything in the shop was neatly organized and they asked if we needed help finding anything. They also have two shop dogs!! I love seeing animals welcome indoors and just lovin' life.
We wish we had more time to shop around here because of all the things we didn't have time to check out. Overall, such a warm experience and we recommend if you need any items or repairs for your bike!Helpful 11Thanks 0Love this 8Oh no 0Business owner information

Update : Good for the neighborhood, not for anything serious.
Brought my bike in for repair and they mentioned all it was repaired and only needed was spray of lubricant, and then recommended a full tune-up.
I agreed, reasonable price.
3 wks later and issue is still recurring. With a race upcoming, I am SOL.
Wish they looked for the ACTUAL issue rather than add lubricant and declare "fixed".Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

Josh,
Sorry for your dissapointment in our services on your serious bike. Have a wonderful day
DanNov 19, 2017Previous reviewAwesome and Honest customer service - I recently started cycle-commuting and knew my 3-speed local bike couldn't handle the 25 mi/day so I (literally) dug out my old Mtn Bike from under the porch and had it tuned-up plus prepped for commuting (fenders, pannier rack, etc.) - quick turnaround and very knowledgable staff. Highly recommend.

Our family loves this bike shop! They are super helpful, and are very friendly! They have fixed so many of my boys bike issues! Ask for Jimmy, he's the best!

The employees are pretty chill, not super attentive but they'll help you out with any problems. The products like accessories are a bit pricey but for big items like bike racks that's expected. I'd recommend this bike shop in all of Chicagoland, considering there aren't many alternatives nearby

It was a gorgeous morning and we had our long ride all planned out, only to get my bike out and notice that my back brake was rubbing badly against the tire. After trying to remedy it unsuccessfully, and finding that most of the local bike shops we're familiar with are closed, we stopped at Dan's. Marcello took care of us immediately and five minutes later we had the bike back on the car and our day was saved. Marcello not only didn't charge us for the fix but also imparted some additional wisdom / recommendations about my bike. Outstanding services and knowledge. Oh, AND SHOP DOGS. I think we have a new bike shop!

These guys are fast and stand behind their work! Walked in on a Saturday with a minor issue from last visit and Marcel remembered the bike and rectified the problem right on the spot. I walked out 2 minutes later with everything perfect. Love these guys!!!

Dan's is the best. Their customer service can't be topped. There's a level of honesty and integrity here that's rarely seen nowadays. They won't up-sell you, and they stand behind their work and their products. Above and beyond, every time,

Dan's has always been very responsive to my repair needs and willing to provide quick service to my bike whenever I needed a small fix, but this past week, they went above and beyond. I had my bike in for a tune up a few weeks earlier, and most everything seemed to be in working order. However, after riding it a bit, I noticed a few outstanding issues, so I had to return to have them addressed. They quickly delved into the issue and addressed it with replacement parts, and since they felt they should have identified this in the tune-up, there was no additional parts or labor charge. It was very surprised and appreciative. If you are looking for a repair team that is committed to getting it right, look no further than Dan's.
