  • "It’s lacking in customer service. Staff seem uninterested in helping."
  • "Awful store, no staff around to enable me to pay for my goods. It has been this way for far too long."
  • "Understaffed and on reduced hours. Colleagues trying to make it work but getting stressed due to pressure of not having enough staff."
  • "Store is either open or closed to the public because they can’t get the staff! And what staff do work, sometimes are in the wrong department and don’t know what you're talking about!"
  • "Wanted a ladies bike with child seat. Took ages to get staff's attention, they were quite disinterested."
  • "Not helpful at all and some staff are very rude and have a very worrying attitude."

Product & Service Quality

Pros:

  • "Changed the bulb in seconds.. Thank you Layton!"
  • "Their price was very competitive and no booking was required."
  • "The fitting was said to take around two hours and it pretty much did."
  • "Needed a new number plate for a trailer, the staff were quick, efficient and the product was good quality."
  • "All the products that I purchased were of good quality and a good price."
  • "Excellent service repairing my windscreen chip and price fair and repair done quickly."
  • "Had my bike serviced. Excellent work and am really pleased with the results. Staff were really helpful and knowledgeable."

Cons:

  • "Bought a hardwire kit for my dash cam and tried to fit it myself which was a waste of time."
  • "So your Β£5 fitting service for a new number plate is to remove the backing to the stickers and stick it on so badly it’s already coming loose 12 hours later?"
  • "Very poor. Bought a Β£500 bike, chain fitted was too long it slipped and hung from the bike, they shortened it, it snapped in the car park, they replaced it but left it with a stiff link it snapped again first time used."
  • "Availability is poor for parts, requiring them to be ordered, takes 4 days, then have to wait before they can fit the part which takes another couple of days!"
  • "A simple purchase of a headlight bulb and fitting turned into a complete lash up."
  • "The area for having the repairs done is a distance away and dangerously placed."
  • "An absolute fraud, with terrible service."

  • "Kami was so helpful, professional and friendly too."
  • "Dan, the bicycle repair guy was so professional, kind, and helpful."

  • "Both the young guy who helped me find the products I needed and the mechanic lady, who advised and ensured my order was all correctly in place, were outstanding in their friendly, efficient and professional manner."

Cons:

  • "We walked in to be told they're only open for click and collect, but the man who worked there said because its so quiet we could go in... the other woman who worked there angrily approached me... She was extremely rude, and felt like she was speaking to me as If I was a child."
  • "Lousy attitude of female staff demanding reg no or she will not be able to serve me."
  • "When looking to buy a 200 piece tool set, I asked if I could have a look at it outside of the glass case. The very curt response was along the lines of 'no, why would you want to? You can see it through the glass case anyway, I can't do that'."
  • "Not a single person in the shop except the lad on the front desk talking to a female."
  • "The staff are not interested, walked away."
  • "Colleagues require training to boost their confidence."
  • "Went to Bodmin store from Liskeard to buy a kids bike, the attitude of the staff is awful."
