I am driving from outside of Providence to get my bicycle tuned up. This is is my first time and was wondering if others might have tips to where to park, unload and load bicycle, near DASH Bicycles?

Lots of parking around.
You will definitely find street parking. However, there is also a driveway you can use as long as your not hanging around.
Lots of Parking. I recommend trying the Nitro Bar while you're there too.
There is a driveway just east of the building that takes you to the maintenance side of the shop.
This is the answer.
This person puts more thought and planing into parking at a bike shop than I've put into my entire life. Anyone one else out here just winging it ?
P.S Get some Nitro Cold brew next door while you're here!
There’s a sign saying “do not park in driveway”. It’s not just parking for dash, there an apartment building back there, and the parking for the building to the left of Dash.
You will be constantly disappointed if you expect people to follow civil norms in New England. I'm also pretty sure that they can find a spot to unload their bike and take 15 minutes in the shop without blocking the driveway.

First time driving with a bike rack. The bike and rack are not expensive but it’s all I got. And I haven’t been to that neighborhood before. Honestly, I wouldn’t be doing this if my bike didn’t need some maintenance.
It's a very safe neighborhood, for the most part. Just as in all cities, don't leave bookbags or other things laying around and easy to grab. Your rack will be fine. Sounds like you'll be taking your bike to the shop, so why worry?
Like people say, there is a lot of parking. There are some sorta legal spaces pretty close to DASH, so just take one if you're there. I've never had to park more than a half block away while dropping off or picking up.
Lol it's on Broadway, there's a ton of parking and a remarkably safe area
I think I hate bike racks.

there's a ton of street parking on Broadway on both sides of the street. I'd be shocked if you had to park even the length of a football field away during the daytime.
edit: it's not metered parking btw
