Steve was extremely helpful and…

Steve was extremely helpful and friendly with his advice about which bike I should get. It didn't feel like a hard sell, which was much appreciated and he definitely seemed to know what he was talking about. The guy in the workshop, whose name I can't remember unfortunately, was also really friendly and helpful. Thank you!

We have a great help from Ian Marks

We have a great help from Ian Marks. He explains us well all about the bikes, helped to select one and make the right choice. The bike was delivered promptly and assembled well. They also gave us plenty of assistance before we took it away. All in all excellent.

Balfes - top recommend and a great Bike retailer

Third cycle to work bike purchased through Balfes. There is a reason I use them - fantastic customer service and they have some great seasonal change offers on. Their in-store shops are full of knowledgeable people who are all passionate about cycling.

First time visit to the bike was fantastic. Truly helpful staff. Answered my question. And found the right bike. On my return to collect the bike a senior member of staff. Came across as unnecessary blunt and rude on multiple occasions. Not only towards me but to staff members working the shop floor. If I had this interaction when I bought the bike I wouldn't have bothered

It is a great shop (Gatwick)

It is a great shop (Gatwick), very happy with my bike and how it was built. Nothing negative except perhaps when I was given a date for collection no one seemed to know where my bike was, and by mistake it had been put on display for sale. Also, no one told me my new bike would be tubeless, no indication anywhere. Again, a couple of mistakes but overall it doesn't shadow my experience. The staff were friendly and approachable.

The store was ultra busy but everyone was super helpful

The store was ultra busy as it was a bank holiday but once someone was free to help they were super helpful and sorted a demo ride in store.
During pickup they helped sort out the paperwork, setup the bike, offered advice and helped get it in the car. This was particularly useful as some of the software transfer for the ownership of the bike wasnt working initially.
Over both visits they were helpful and friendly, didnt rush me or others and patiently dealt with questions - I will be using them again!
