which bike shop in the davis square / porter square area has the best reputation for a good tune-up?

Paramount Bicycle, just past the Powerderhouse rotary. No question about it -- Tyler is a great guy and a very skilled mechanic.

I second the recommendation for Tyler at Paramount. He's excellent and can explain bike-parts even to the non-mechanically initiated. Also, he's not patronizing.

Ditto on the "not patronizing." Much better customer service at Paramount than the very busy Wheelworks (though I've gotten good tune-ups at both places).

Wheelworks (http://www.wheelworks.com/), on Elm and Willow.

I'll third that.

Wheelworks is pretty good, but I'd take any of my bikes to paramount if given the choice.

I used to say Paramount, but then I had a few bad experiences, followed by consistent good experiences at Ace Wheelworks.

I *did not* like Ace at all the only two times I went (both times last year). Ended up with a missing reflector (whcih I didn't notice right away), my seat collapsed down a few inches while riding, and a few other petty annoyances. Most recently, I went to that place on Mass Ave (by Elephant Walk) - was cheaper and no complaints.
