Hi. Thanks for the review, (sorry for delay on reply we have been very busy). I am glad you were impressed by our service. Dave and Team Sutton
Good service, no hard sell
I always feel Balfe's give a good service, and on this occasion it was good, helpful advice without any hard sell. In fact there was a more expensive product they could have tried to get me to buy but they didn't. I fully recommend Balfe's in Sutton.

I've shopped at Reigate and at Sutton
I've shopped at Reigate and at Sutton. At both stores I've found the staff to be very helpful and supportive when I've asked questions and then made decisions. My wife has also purchased some bike accessories from Sutton. My wife was very pleased with the service she received, and I was pleased with the items.

I took my son’s Trek bike (which I hadn’t bought there) because there was a problem with the back wheel. Danny at the Sutton branch couldn’t have been more helpful. Problem sorted and kept informed all along the process.

I needed to bring my bike back to the shop several times because the hub gears weren't adjusted correctly after the initial service. The shop staff were always happy with this, and ultimately sought advice from a really experienced colleague from another branch. My gears are now shifting like a dream. Really grateful.
