What We Offer

Our Specialties include:

C & A Bicycle Salvage & Repair is a trusted, family-owned shop known for its dedication to quality service and strong community values. Specializing in hard-to-find bikes—including models no longer in production—they offer a unique blend of nostalgia and functionality. Their commitment to accessibility shines through with in-town pick-up and delivery, making repairs and tune-ups more convenient than ever. With a focus on kid’s bikes, they help families keep young riders rolling safely. C & A is deeply rooted in the community, offering wonderful outreach programs and great service that goes beyond the shop. Every repair is backed by a 30-day warranty, and their flexible appointments ensure that your schedule is always respected.

Our Services include:

Bicycle Adjustments & Safety Inspections:
From basic adjustments and safety inspections to minor repairs and general service, we're here to help keep your bike safe and riding smoothly. We'll take a look, explain what we find, and recommend what your bike actually needs—not what it doesn't. We work on everyday bikes, kids' bikes, big-box store models, older bikes, and plenty of bikes other shops may pass on.
Small Wheel and Tire Repairs:
We repair more than bicycle wheels! We work on small wheels and tires for scooters, garden carts, hand carts, wheelbarrows, and more. If it rolls and the wheel is giving you trouble, bring it in and we'll take a look.
Drivetrain Services:
Slipping gears, noisy chain, or shifting trouble? We service chains, derailleurs, cassettes, freewheels, and more. We'll figure out what's going on and recommend what your bike actually needs to get shifting smoothly again.
Brake Services:
Squeaky, weak, or just not stopping like they should? We service and repair rim and disc brakes, replace pads and cables, and perform hydraulic bleeds. We'll take a look, explain what you need, and help get you stopping safely.
Mobility Device Care & Maintenance:
We provide basic tire, tube, wheel, brake, and mechanical maintenance for wheelchairs, rolling walkers, and other wheeled mobility devices. If it rolls and needs attention, bring it in and we'll take a look.

They fixed my brakes quickly and at a fair price. Thanks so much!

On 8/31/2026 Steve had this to say:
I was camping hundreds of miles from home and had a broken brake lever on my very heavy ebike. Chuck and Devin had me fixed up in short order at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend C&A Bicycles for your repair needs. Many thanks from a happy camper. Testimonial written by Steve on this site.

On 8/29/2026 Cari Youngblood had this to say:
C&A Bicycles had exactly what we were looking for! They were very friendly and had a huge selection of bikes. We recommend!

On 8/21/2026 Edward Wonders had this to say:
This is my goto bike shop. Chuck fixes and upgrades mine and my grandkids bikes. He is very reasonable and response time is fast. As a matter of fact I just had him change out some parts on my personal bike so I'm not bent over trying to ride, and killing my back in the process. Great people great prices. The absolute best!!!

On 7/31/2026 hans jesiolowski had this to say:
I've taken my bike there 3 times to get different things fixed and tuned up. They are very friendly, very helpful, very knowledgeable, and very well priced. If you need a bike or a repair, I would highly recommend.

FAQ

Do you repair bicycles?

Yes! We work on all types of bicycle repairs, from simple adjustments and tune-ups to mechanical disassembly and rebuilding. We’re willing to tackle repairs of all sorts.

Do I need an appointment for a bike repair?

No appointment is necessary. Just bring your bike into the shop, drop it off, and we’ll take it from there

What types of used bikes do you sell?

We offer a wide variety of pre-owned bicycles. You’ll find different makes, models, styles, ages, and quality levels, with prices to match. Since every bike is different, there’s always something unique in the shop

How do you determine the price of your used bikes?

We consider the bike’s make, model, age, condition, quality, and current local resale market when setting our prices. Our goal is to offer good, reliable bikes at prices that fit our customers’ budgets

Do your used bikes come with a warranty?

Yes. Our bicycles come with a minimum 30-day warranty against mechanical failure, giving you some extra peace of mind when you purchase a bike from us.

Why buy a used bike from C&A Bicycle instead of Facebook Marketplace?

Buying used can be a great way to save money, but a bicycle purchased from a private seller may need repairs before it’s safe and reliable. Those repairs can quickly add up. Our bikes are serviced and ready to ride, so you don’t have to worry about unexpected repair costs right after your purchase.

Do you buy used bicycles?

Yes! If you have a bicycle you’re interested in selling, bring it into the shop and we’ll be happy to take a look at it

Do you accept bicycle donations?

Absolutely. We gladly accept unwanted bicycles. Donations help us keep good bikes and usable parts out of landfills while making affordable bicycles available to riders in our community.

Do you install motors on bicycles?

Currently, we do not sell motorized bicycles or install motors on bikes. However, we will work on the bicycle components of a motorized bike. We will not service or repair the engine.

Do you work on e-bikes?

We can perform a diagnostic on e-bikes. Once we’ve had a chance to look at the bike, we’ll let you know whether it’s something we’re able to repair. We’re happy to help with the bicycle side of things whenever we can.
