Not the type of customer service you’d expect.
Bit of a dualistic atmosphere in there, the sales process was fine up until I went to collect my bike. It felt like my bike was being held ransom for some perhaps misunderstanding? To give you an idea: One salesman who’s name began with an “M” said, (as I was walking around with my coffee) “it’s not your’s until we’ve completed the pdi” but then proceeded to chat away to someone else while 2 other staff members were available but not going to sign me off (fine with that). About 90 minutes later, when the pdi was completed. I courteously pointed out some play between the front rotor and the wheel. While showing one of the techs what I meant, another younger chap (who’d been hiding in the corner the whole 90 minutes) came over and said I was breathing down their necks and that he’d rather refund me than diagnose the issue (this was entirely his idea). He eventually yielded (not without rude protest) to remove the wheel, inspect the rotor and re-torque it but in doing so, threw the disassembled components on the bench in a foul mood. For the first time this made me, as a customer, feel quite unsafe. And it left an impression that lasted long enough for me to want to leave this review when asked.

My 4th bike from them
It’s the 4th bike I’ve bought from Balfes and they were brilliant again. Matt in particular was so helpful and patient and his knowledge and advice were exceptional, someone who knows his stuff and is clearly passionate about what he does. Thanks Matt, and a mention to Simon and Richard too…thank you.
