Sports Basement

I was looking for a downtown bike shop to fix my flat. Brought in my tire to Pacific Bikes and they fixed it for $18.65. I got back to my office and was looking over the receipt. $11.00 for the flat service and $6.99 for the tube. $0.66 tax.
I thought that a wee expensive so I called Sports Basement and asked what they charge, just out of curiosity. "$3.00 (ish, can't remember exactly) for the tube - we swap it out for free." I have had very good luck at sports basement and will continue to go there.
Not to mention I would have gotten a zipcar / sfbc / JCC / etc discount here.
Just my $0.02 for people with a flat. Their other service is great too.

I had a rental here that was received in unsatisfactory condition. I contacted the company 3 times with a complaint, and didn't hear anything. I yelped a horrid review and contacted senior management through their website and finally hear back. Whole process took about 2 months. In the end, they made the situation right, but it was a run around for sure. Due to the fact that they ultimately resolved the situation, I have removed my prior review and bumped them from one star to two.
Hung out here last night and had a blast. Will def be back. Good vibe, I like the "sit down bars" - though no doubt this place knows how to throw down as well.

Warning! If you eat at NOPA your expectations for restaurants will be forever changed! You may find yourself in a situation where you can't enjoy dining elsewhere, for you will spend most of you dinner comparing restaurant x to NOPA, and drawing conclusions about how much better NOPA is on all fronts.
Seriously though, this is my favorite restaurant in the city. I love taking people there b/c they are always delighted. If you have not been you must go. There is a reason there is a 30 minute wait 7 days a week 3 years into the operation. This place has it dialed.

Going to this restaurant tonight reminded me how surprised I am by the mediocrity that so many "good" (read $$$) restaurants seem to get by on. When I go to a restaurant of this nature, I don't expect my main to come out lukewarm. Overwhelmingly decent at a high price point. Go to NOPA instead, you won't be disappointed there.

Not a review really, but I called for an estimate on fixing a belt, and it was $40 labor plus parts. The vacuum retails for 60.
Called The Hoover Company on Geary, 12.95 total for the part and installation.

Carlos is great. Brought in my gf's car b/c the rear lights would not come on. You would have to flip the switch back and forth a few dozen times till the rear lights would finally come on. Other mechanic couldn't figure it out. Called Carlos - he said, "probably a bad headlight switch" - OK... that actually seems pretty obvious... don't know why the other guy had such a hard time. $100 part and $70 labor later it was good to go. No more headache.

Turns out I got ripped off in a major way. Called Sports Basement and they would have sold and installed it for $3 total. I go there now for flats that I can't fix myself.
