Dinardo’s Skis & Wheels

We had bought a bike for our daughter at a large national box store chain and just a few days later as she was riding it around the neighborhood the rear tire just popped off the rim. We could have gone back to the store we bought it from but I didn’t trust that they would fix it properly. So instead we decided to encourage a local business and took it in to Dinardo’s Skis and Wheels.
We were immediately impressed with the courteous and friendly reception we got, and became even more impressed as Howard, the bike technician, examined the wheel and began to explain to us what had happened. He even suggested we could save the cost of the repair by simply taking it to the box store as the bike was still under warranty. But it turns out that the box store had sold us a bike with a rear tire that was too large for the rim, and as I mentioned, I simply didn’t trust that the box store would have fixed it properly and my daughter’s safety is more important than saving a few dollars. He then did the repair right there as we waited, explaining each step of the process and showing us why he was doing it.
After he was finished, he detailed exactly what he had done on the (very reasonable) invoice so we could use it to go back to the box store and get them to refund us the cost of the repair. They had sold us a bike that was a safety hazard and Howard was able to prove it.
For top notch service, helpful and very knowledgable staff and just an all around pleasant experience I highly recommend Dinardo’s Skis and Wheels. They made a repeat customer today.

This place is close to my house so we figured we should check it out and ‘shop local’ when my BF needed a new bike. The staff were really helpful and super knowledgeable. He found a great bike and they outfitted him with all the safety gear he would need to be street legal. Overall its a small store so the inventory is seasonal (skis winter or bikes summer). They also carry a bunch of great outdoors clothing (again seasonal) — not cheap stuff, but the good quality stuff you get to last :)
