Very disappointed

Very disappointed, because they told me to inspect the bike and repair should take 10 working days, but I was waiting for the whole month and also I had to ask for parts , which was missing, if I didn't mention it may never get it back.

Prompt and effective service

I came into the store with a challenge and the team addressed it promptly. When the work I needed done was completed, I raised a shopping need. The staff person directed me to the product he recommended, which was not the most expensive.
