Over and above anything we expected. Also obviously loves working on bikes - it shows through his craft. My example is that I have a very expensive rim, other bike shops couldn't true it - but he did and I could feel and see the difference. Thank you Mark.

I knew immediately that Mark is passionate about building quality bikes. He was very knowledgeable and thorough and did a great service on overhauling my ride.
I definitely recommend Tight Bike!

Mark was incredibly accommodating and helpful when my partner and I had to make a quick stop during our trip from Portland to Seattle. We left more knowledgeable and feeling so welcomed in the community. He really took care of us. Highly recommend!

I called to see if he could fill my tires with presto valves. He told me to come over and he took care of my tires right away. I was very pleased and I would be happy to go back next time I need a bike shop. Thanks!

Strange dude. Maybe he was just having a bad day.

I went to see him about some potential gearing modifications. I had called ahead and left a message when nobody answered the phone.

He came out to the driveway and didn't respond to my greeting when I arrived, just said "what do you want". Angrily replied "I know that" when I referred to the three-speed hub as a Nexus hub.

Three stars because he apparently knows what a Nexus hub is. Plus, benefit of the doubt that neither of us are actually complete jerks.

Immediately I knew Mark was a guy who had a passion for fixing bikes. He was incredibly knowledgeable and diagnosed problems that I think even a common bike repair person would overlook. No doubt Mark is blessed with talents to fix a bike and he does it with excellence.
I'd like to point out that Mark saved me a few hundred dollars by repairing what was broken instead of replacing the total unit. What I'm trying to say is likely another technician would have just replaced a full unit that didn't need to be replaced and i appreciated mark's honesty in that.
I will be going back from here out!

I’ve so lucky to find a Mark, for tune up and service my bike. After bringing one time your bike to this gentleman, who really love his job, you won’t be servicing your bicycle at any other shops. If you don’t believe me, try it and say I’m wrong.

Honest, reliable bike technician. I've used Tight Bike in the past for repairs and have always been happy. Recently I called to ask about a new rear derailleur and he asked me a bunch of questions to make sure he understood my situation. He suggested that before I replace it that I try one more thing. I did that and solved the problem. He didn't try to upsell me it convince me to bring it in. In the end he saved me money. That's an honest man.

Mark fixed my bent bike wheel and sold me an extraordinary new bike. This shop is small, the owner is super friendly, knowledgeable, and active in the biking community. I trust his advice and you should as well. This guy is the real deal. Don't waste your money elsewhere. This is where your greatest value is.

Firstly, what drew me here was the fact that the shop opens at 9 as opposed to 10 like everywhere else. I needed to get a fix done same day, before the afternoon so the sooner the better. Mark turned out to be amazing! As he was inspecting the bike, he gave me tidbits of knowledge and even recommended some trails to check out. I'm definitely going back in the near future to get a full tune up on my bike. If you ever need a fix, GO HERE!

Like previous reviews have stated, this shop is on the same lot as a nursery but there are many signs around the property to help you locate the shop. I walked in early in the morning and Mark was instantly able to help me. I just needed to have my husband's leaky tire repaired. Mark not only replaced the tube but spent the time to teach me how to replace it for any future times we might need to replace it! He is very knowledgeable and cares for his customers. We will be back for any further bike repairs.

My girlfriend ordered a bike online that I tried to assemble myself but when it came to the brakes I totally screwed up and couldn't fix it. I found Tight Bikes through yelp and gave it a try.

The owner is a true professional and really REALLY cares about the bike and the rider. He did a complete tune of the bike and checked everything from the front wheel to the back and all parts in between. He fixed some factory issues that I didn't even realize were there. He made the bike 100% road worthy and safe. It glides like a dream.

He did much more work than I had originally asked for but

The best there is at taking the time to make things right! Mainly, it comes down to a desire to do the best work. I am so happy I found a bike technician who listens and works with you. His knowledge is vast and he’s not about the quick buck. Thank you Mark!

Mark is amazing! I tried to go to a different bike shop in Federal Way that turned out to be closed (even though their phone message said they were open--in addition I was kind of scared of this other place because the review of the own were horrendous - I was kind of glad they were closed).

That turned out to be a true blessing because I wound up going to Tight Bike and had the pleasure of doing business with Mark. This man's passion is biking, and he is incredibly knowledgable. I was so grateful to have found this Tight Bike.

I hadn't rode for six years since I broke my wrist while

This is a local bike shop. It's quite hidden. You wouldn't know it existed unless you were looking for it. The bike store/shop is in the same location as a tree nursery.

I recently bought a bike, wanting to incorporate riding in my life. I haven't owned a bike since I was a kid so it's been a fun journey learning all about the biking community. I was looking for a way to haul my bikes out of the Federal Way area to experience new places. I found Tight Bike on Google. Mike, the owner, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. His shop is small, but he does sell some really nice
