  • "do not trust this outfit they will scare you and charge you for work that doesnt need doing or will try sell you one of there bikes."
  • "Aside from the threatening sign outside, which only paints a picture of a business owner who hates the idea of questions and customers, my experience inside wasn't hugely better."
  • "Very Rude, offensive, disrespectful, and aggressive and abusive."
