I'm not a huge fan of cap's, they are like the Superstore of bike shops but no advantage with pricing. I frequent Kinetik myself on North Road and Austin. As mentioned they are a smaller operation, just the owner Fabian and a regular mechanic, maybe a couple seasonal staff at times. IMO much easier to build a good working relationship with a small shop esp if you live in the area.

+1 on keeping your drivetrain clean. It takes 2 minutes after a ride and you can do it in your bike storage area. And tech's much prefer working on cleanish drivetrains. I do simple maintenance for buddies out of my garage and I make sure they hear it if they give me their bike with a nasty drivetrain. If you're not in a rush I could help you out too
