    I recently had brake pads replaced by Tif at the REI bike shop. The pricing was transparent and reasonable, with brake pads costing about $10 and labor around $30. Tif was professional, efficient, and explained the work clearly. The service quality was excellent, and my brakes feel like new again. I would definitely recommend REI bike service for anyone needing quick and reliable brake maintenance.
