Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Very helpful. Great service."
  • "Kieran from the London Bridge Evans branch was great! He helped me out straight away, even replacing the cable for me and sending me on my way in no time."
  • "Best Evans Cycles Branch and Excellent Front Desk (Damian): Despite the very high demand on the store mixed with the update of Evan's internal confusing orders system, Damian from the sales team has been an absolute star!"
  • "Brilliant help."
  • "On Sunday 6th Dec, the team at London bridge Evans really did come to my rescue."
  • "Dan: Fantastic service, excellent results, bike feels like new, very fast, very streamlined."
  • "Couldn't have asked for a better experience."

Cons:

  • "Some of the staff are great, the two people I dealt when choosing the bike were great but just called to check with some parts they ordered and this one was rude and ignorant."
  • "Seem to want to rip off customers with bike servicing. Asked the London Bridge team to sort out my bottom bracket for me, ended up with a Bronze Service (still don't know why)."
  • "I have not seen anything like this before, and I will never use their services and do not recommend to anyone either."
  • "Booked a bike build online. They took email and mobile number. Arrived to find out they had cancelled the build with <24 hours notice and opted not to call."
  • "The staff member serving me had no clue about anything to do with bikes."
  • "Really rude man bossing other staff, being very argumentative with them and myself."
  • "Terrible service and staff."

Cons:

  • "Service so terrible, I decided to go spend money elsewhere!"
  • "I ordered a bike from here and that was just the start over 2 weeks late on delivery. 3 months later a spoke has snapped and the rear wheel bearings are already needing to be replaced."
  • "Terrible experience of rude staff wasting my time."
  • "I had broken the front cog of my bike and simply needed a few taps with a hammer to make it rideable. Staff were totally unhelpful and refused to help."
