Bike repair for Brea riders

Brea anchors the north edge of Orange County against Carbon Canyon. Carbon Canyon Rd is the classic north-county climb: a two-lane canyon road toward Carbon Canyon Regional Park and beyond, best ridden early because cars use the canyon as a cut-through. OC Parks' Carbon Canyon Regional Park at the canyon mouth is a common meet-up and short-loop base before longer rides toward Chino Hills.

Canyon heat and long stretches on the brakes coming down are hard on pads and fluid, so Brea riders most often book a brake bleed, a tune-up or drivetrain service. We're an independent, owner-run shop in Santa Ana, and we look the bike over with you and confirm the work and price before anything starts.

Getting your bike to the shop from Brea

About 17.4 miles by road from Brea City Hall (1 Civic Center Circle) (14.9 miles in a straight line). Approximate: computed from OpenStreetMap coordinates and routing data. Traffic and your exact start point change it.

From Brea City Hall (1 Civic Center Circle): take Randolph Ave to the 57 (Orange Fwy) south and stay on it for about 8.5 miles. Take the 22 (Garden Grove Fwy) west for a short stretch and exit at Harbor Blvd. Go south on Harbor for about 4.7 miles, then turn left on W MacArthur Blvd. The shop is a few hundred yards along, in Suite B.

Landmark: we're just west of Harbor Blvd on MacArthur, on the north side of the 405, between Fairview St and Harbor.
