I use a few

- one is close to my house; I like supporting a business in my little town; the guys know their bike and can fix stuff pretty well and pretty quickly
- one is close to work; they are expensive but they are generous; informative; friendly and never judgmental
- one is near the old office and has old parts and dudes who know how to work on old bikes. they are also never judgmental regardless of what contraption I bring them

- non have any female staff which would certainly be a selling point
