I had two people independently recommend them to me last week due to good experiences there. I haven't had work done there, but they seemed pretty decent, and plan on it in the future.

Caveat for both Bushtukah and R&K's, if you go in during busy hours (afternoon on an weekend?) you're likely going to be talking to some 19 year old salesperson who... well, we'll leave that sentence unfinished.

My recommendation is to take the time to go in during off-peak hours (morning during the week?) when the folks responsible for the floor are ALSO actually wrenching on bikes. The same applies in smaller mom'n'pop type stores, as you're much more likely to be dealing with the manager/owner.
