My Story

Frustrated with long wait times for bike maintenance, I took matters into my own hands—first servicing my own bikes, then helping friends and neighbors. What started as a way to offset tool costs has grown into a passion for providing affordable, reliable bike maintenance. While this isn’t my primary career, I take pride in keeping riders safe and comfortable, standing behind every repair to ensure each bike is in top condition.

Repair Scheduling Notes

I fix bikes on the side because I love it. However, compared to regular repair shops, it does have some limitations that come with it. 

Appointments

First,I don’t have set business hours or a dedicated shop. I work by appointment only from my garage. Appointments are specific times for you to drop off your bike and let me do a quick assessment.  There are a few services I can perform while you wait, most notably replacing a tube, but generally speaking, I’ll need a few hours to do a quality repair job on most bikes.

No E-bikes

Long story, won’t get into it, but I dont do any work on e-bikes, sorry.

Email or Texts only, please.

Finally, for the best way to reach me, please send an email to matt@emeraldcycling.com or text me at 248-525-2829. I’m quick to respond to texts and emails, but I don’t answer phone calls, sorry. You can also use my appointment form on the site, if you’d prefer (it works best for me).
