Much appreciation Skip!!! From a cross-country pack cyclist passing thru the area, soon following a significant set of challenges - asking around in town right away heard rave reviews of Skip & his shop... indeed grateful!

Bikesmiths is a small local shop owned by a very knowledgable fellow named Skip. He is super friendly and helpful. I rode my bike through an area of bad goat head thorns and got two flats. Skip did not have time to add sealant to my tires right then because he had so many other repairs going already. He gave me some sealant and the applicator and I walked back to the State Beach campground to fix my bike. When I returned the remaining sealant and tools that he leant me, he did not even want payment. I had to make him accept $5. He represents the old school bike shop - helpful, kind and the kind of guy you would want to marry your sister!

Bikesmiths is a small locally owned shop that offers great service at fair prices. The owner Skip is the son of a bike shop owner - he grew up in the business. He was super helpful when I rode through some goat head thorns and got two flats. I have tubeless tires and he got me the sealant I needed and back on the road quickly. Highly recommended!

This is a great little bike shop with a terrific owner Skip. I left home in SLO without packing gloves and Skip was able to help me out with a new pair at a great price -- plus Skip is a super nice guy who clearly loves what he does. I'll be stopping in again when I'm in town.

Skip is so helpful and knowledgeable. After tuning up my road bike he suggested a few ongoing maintenance items that I can do myself and showed me how to do them. Carpinteria, you are so fortunate to have Skip and BikeSmiths!

This guy said he had never seen a Trek FX 4 bike before? And was very rude. Maybe he was having a bad day?

Great customer service. Went to get a tire tube replaced. The bike shop owner/mechanic took the time to teach my nephew how to change a tire.

Skip Woodcock the owner is very knowledgeable and HONEST. I bought 3 jerseys and also wore a 4th one. He made an error and charged me for 3 and forgot I had put one on for fitting but did not take it off and I had forgotten too as we talked about vintage jerseys.As I walked out the store we both realized the 4th Jersey I was wearing was not on the bill. He said "Oh forget about it". Its on me just keep it. A $ 50 jersey !!! What a gentleman he let me keep it on the 4 pm sunny day in April. I am from Canada and a retired Doctor. Before I return I will go give him a $ 100 bill for his kindness.Mike Sacco

Great shop! I bought 3 used beach Cruisers for the family for Christmas and took them here to get some work done. Everything came out great and service was excellent. I got some great advice and prices were very fair. Highly recommend!

Excellent customer service! Very friendly and knowledgeable. I had road my bike in a year and we took it camping without checking it first. Got to the camp ground and found out my brakes did not work. We stopped by and I was quoted a price and given a time estimate. My bike was done earlier then estimated. My bike is now in tip top shape. Thank you

Skip did a quick and awesome job putting new brake cables on my bike due to installing a taller stem in my head tube. Friendly and professional, good quality work.
