Bike repair for Laguna Hills riders

Laguna Hills sits along El Toro Rd and Alicia Pkwy by the I-5, a practical south-county hub between Lake Forest, Mission Viejo and the Laguna canyon country. Alicia Pkwy links the city with Laguna Niguel and the Aliso Viejo trailheads, with hills and signals all the way, and weekend rides often carry on toward Laguna Canyon Rd and Laguna Coast Wilderness for longer dirt or mixed-surface days.

Hill repeats and canyon dust show up as noisy drivetrains and soft brakes, and that's most of what Laguna Hills riders bring us: tune-ups and brake service, plus the occasional bigger job. We're an independent, owner-run shop, and we go through the work and price with you before anything begins.

Getting your bike to the shop from Laguna Hills

About 16.8 miles by road from Laguna Hills City Hall (24035 El Toro Rd) (15.0 miles in a straight line). Approximate: computed from OpenStreetMap coordinates and routing data. Traffic and your exact start point change it.

From Laguna Hills City Hall (24035 El Toro Rd): take Ericson Way to Alicia Pkwy and join the 405 north. Stay on the 405 for about 13 miles, past Irvine, and exit at South Coast Dr / Fairview Rd. Go north on Fairview, which becomes S Fairview St, and turn left on W MacArthur Blvd. The shop is about half a mile along, in Suite B.

Why this route works: unlike most of south county, Laguna Hills has a straight, toll-free run on the 405 to within a mile of our door.
