Shop Summary:
Swiss American is a great little shop located in an area of the valley not well known for an abundance of trails. They stock a wide variety of mountain , rode, and bmx.

Customer Service:
The customer service is the number one thing i have come to appreciate. I purchased my 26" full suspension and my 29r single speed from another shop before I found Swiss American. They have been more than helpful with any of my questions or crazy upgrade plans I have. I don't have alot of money to spend being the privider for a family of four and they are always ready to make sugestions for upgrades in performance that dont always benefit them but make my riding experience better.

Other Comments:
Great shop! Great customer service! Very friendly ! They are not just out to sell $7,000 and $8,000 bikes like some of the shops in Scottsdale. If you have a beater,$1,000 singlespeed, or a $7,000 carbon wonder bike they will be helpful,friendly,and ready to take care of any needs you have.

Shop Summary:
Clean and well lit. Nice display and good selection of parts etc.

Customer Service:
Had been told 'this is a good fair shop' I bit, and I was rewarded with what I believe was as good an experience as I have had at any shop in this town - (been to lots over the last 50 years in Phx)
I ride an old boutique type bike (Klein) and I have had some strange dealings with shops over the years. These guys were straight arrow, not condescending to an old geezer ridin a goofy old bike. They were VERY helpful, very fast turnaround and FAIRLY PRICED. I even brought in all my 'internet purchased' parts - GREAT SERVICE and the work was excellent. Worth the drive from wherever you are in town.

Other Comments:
I like this place Good CS and no BS.
They also support numerous shop teams - gotta love that.

Shop Summary:
Nice combination of mountain, road and BMX bikes. They carry Orbea, Trek, Scott, Lemond, and Haro bikes in road and/or mountain bike configuration.

Customer Service:
Really impressive! I had them swap parts from my hardtail to a new frame that I ordered online. They quoted me a complete assembly time of 24 hours but they called me later in the day to let me know that it was done. The labor and added parts were not bad either.
Bought an Orbea Road Bike there last week, and the owner was very helpful in helping me make a decision on the final buy. He is a Road Cyclist and so proceeded to educate me on the minor differences between each road bike manufacturers, little things like which is more race oriented or more comfortable etc. So after digesting all the information he'd given me I went back the next day and test drove the bike and took it home. No regrets the bike is great.

Other Comments:
With all the positive experiences I've had with them I think I'll be using them more to service my bikes and to buy accessories.

I'm also eyeing another Orbea Road bike there to add to my stable..maybe next year.

Shop Summary:
This shop carries a very nice balance of parts. They have the lower end stuff for the cost conscious as well as the top of the line accessories and components. But everything they carry is quality, so you don’t have to worry about being sold some junk. Their bike selection is the same way. They have quality affordable bikes and some serious machines. You can tell their selection has been carefully picked.

Another nice aspect of the shop is the older bikes hanging from the ceiling. Its kind of like being in a bike museum when you look up.

Customer Service:
The reason why I drive across town. These guys are honest, that's how they do business. They Service the bikes with exactly what they need and nothing more, plus the service fees are very reasonable and their work is quality. The place also has a very laid back atmosphere with jokes always rolling. They know their bikes inside and out, which is really handy when you’re not sure what bike will be best for you. This shop also has the Fit System, one of the best fitting systems out there!! Bottom line, I don't take my bikes anywhere else.

Other Comments:
I should also mention the Swiss America bike team. A great group of roadies and mountain bikers that range from recreation riders to expert level racers.

Theres a reason Swiss has been around for so long.

Shop Summary:
Full line shop that carries Mountain, Road, and BMX. They have a good selection of bikes including 29" mtn bikes. They have Trek, Haro, Orbea, Rocky Mountain, Scott and several different BMX and cruiser companies to choose from. It is a family owned shop with friendly and helpful employees.

Customer Service:
The customer service has been excellent. I have had many warranty claims and special orders over the past couple of years they have helped me with. They have hooked me up with demo bikes and other riders with the same interests. The work they have completed on my bikes has been flawless and very reasonably priced. Nick, the mechanic, does an excellent job on his repairs with a very fast turnaround time. I would recommend this shop to anyone.

Other Comments:
Support a local shop that has been around for 30 years. The group of people that work at the shop and frequent the shop are all very nice and will help with anything that comes up!!
