Balfe's Bikes - Gatwick Showroom Reviews 

Staff always helpful and knowledgeable. Great range of bikes, kit, components and spares. The Gatwick store can get busy but there is a waiting area. Needs a coffee machine 😉

Thanks to Dan and Ed this morning for great service on my Levo it’s all great and the service lights still off for now

I had a snapped valve in my rear brake lever on a Specialized Turbo Levo Comp the workshop guys told me the problem straight away but said the part was on back order so found one in stock elsewhere which I ordered whilst leaving the bike at Balfes, when the part arrived I dropped but off and within 2 hours the new lever was fitted, brakes bled and all good to go 👍🏻

Took three weeks to carry out a break service i feel this is to long was never updated until the service was completed when I picked the bike up i never received an apology or explanation

Great attention from the friendly and professional staff. Really knowledgable and helped our 5 year old to choose the right 20 inch bike for his upcoming birthday. Very happy all round.

Keith offered me a bike fit on my new road bike I bought from Balfe’s in Gatwick and Keith was very good he exactly knew what he was doing didn’t rush me took his time and so pleased with the service they are brilliant 👍👏

Always great service

Purchased a bike from these jokers, was advertised as the 2025 Model - when I registered it on the the Manufacturers website it informed me it was a 2023 model. Most other retailers have the model I purchased as a 2023 model and not a 2025. Their customer service disagree with my claim this is a 2023 model, cant be bothered to send them any more evidence to the contrary it is like banging your head against a brick wall.

Positive experience and advice.
Only knocked down a star as slight delay picking up bike on arrival even with order number. Thanks Balfes no doubt I’ll be back soon for another bike!

Helpful knowledgeable staff who are always willing to help, if I can get it at Balfe’s then that’s where I’m heading.

Steve was very kind and gave excellent service for my first road bike - he advised trying a bigger frame and got on built and ordered for me, which turned out to be correct - for a female walking into a bike store I was nervous but I was made to feel comfortable - they were kind and efficient even though extremely busy - I live my bike!

Super helpful staff - helped me to set up my new di2 bike with the e-tube app

Went with a mate to pick his bike up and came away with one of my own. Brilliant friendly staff with great knowledge, from Dan who persuaded me I needed the bike, Steve who took my cash and Nick & Ash in the workshop who sorted it for me. Top crew.

Once I'd seen a bike I was interested in, I was given helpful advice in the correct size, and given an opportunity to try the bike.
The member of staff who served me was helpful and informative.
I was impressed with their customer service in their manner, the amount of communication as I purchased and collect a bike.

Nice easy process fitted the the bike nicely before leaving

This is a somewhat belated review in that I purchased the bike in March. The Company were really responsive over email and accommodated a change of collection location and a day earlier at pretty short notice. In a world where as consumers we can feel like a number, the personal service I received stood out. My son loves hitting the trails on his new mountain bike!

Quick and easy collection, item was ready when we arrived

went for a full service on my bike and the quality is perfect, the bike feels better than when it was new i will be coming back again, however it did take a long time to complete, 1 week in a queue and half a week to finish.

I like fact that you can talk direct to workshop staff. However, I did not appreciate having to wait 8 days for a replacement tyre and inner tube to be fitted to my wheel. The staff member explained that the workshop was extremely busy and my repair would have to wait its turn. We are talking about a ten minute job here. Maybe you could allocate slots for quick repairs. Obviously building a bike will take some time. Whilst the staff were courteous and polite, a bit more focus on Customer care would have been appreciated. I don't think I shall be back.

An overall good service
