I've been in the industry for years, but have no local favorites. There isn't a lot of variety in rack manufactures and even less in distributors. Whichever shop you select will likely be getting it from the same distributor and running the same 50% margins. I do recommend supporting local businesses and whichever you choose should be willing to walk you through the first, proper installation. Most common mistake I've seen is lining up the bicycle tire with the car exhaust pipe resulting in a melted and flattened tire. Find your local shop, ask for help and if you're not happy with the service take your business down the street to the next shop. There are no shortages of shop to choose from in SB and you should never settle for poor service.

Another vote for Mountain Air Sports. I bought my racks there and was very pleased. The staff was very knowledgable and helped me select the right rack, then they installed it and did a great job. Support local business!
