Repair and Service Speed

Pros:

  • "the guys were friendly, supportive and sorted out the repair for me so my cycle holiday could continue without further delay."

Cons:

  • "I dropped my bike off in the morning and few hours later happened to be passing after some shopping so I rang to say I am near by if it’s ready. To which I was told 30 mins time I thought brilliant I can go to costa next door with my shopping in hand, 40 mins later I went in to find it hadn’t been done yet."
  • "If there is a criticism it would be they are so busy so you have to wait."
  • "The cycle took 3 days to repair rather than the planned 1."
  • "I wouldn’t of minded if I got told there running behind and gave me a time more suitable but the fact they told me 30 mins and I left it a little later than that should of been okay I had shopping so needed to be away for the fridge which I would have done and come back for later on if I wasn’t given a time frame of 30 mins."
