How long will it take?
Golden Goat is owned and operated by a solo bike mechanic. Though Kevin strives to move through repairs as efficiently as possible, he refuses to sacrifice quality in favor of speed. Walk-ins are welcome for small repairs, and appointments are strongly encouraged for tune-ups and more comprehensive repairs. If a bike is dropped off without an appointment, Kevin does his best to source parts and have the repair completed within one week.
