Five star experience

The staff at Buy A Bike (special thanks must go to Lewis) were incredibly friendly and took the time to understand what I needed instead of rushing me or pushing expensive options. I asked a lot of questions and they made sure I was comfortable with my choice.
When I came back for my free 6 week safety check, they clearly explained the work, finished on time and walked me through the adjustments before I left. It’s rare to feel this valued as a customer — highly recommend for anyone who appreciates excellent service!

Buyabikers Beware

I’ve been a customer of BuyaBike for many years and have previously purchased multiple bikes and accessories from them, so this review is disappointing to write.

I recently took my bike in to have a seized rear brake caliper replaced. When I dropped it off, I was told that £20 would be deducted from the final bill if I chose to go ahead with the repair. At no point was it explained that this £20 was a non-refundable inspection/quotation fee if I decided not to proceed.

I did not request a full diagnostic - I asked for a specific repair. The mechanic said he would provide a list of options, which sounded helpful, but it wasn’t made clear that this assessment would incur a charge regardless.

I was quoted £40 for labour to fix the brake, which I thought was excessive, so I decided to just repair it myself. When I queried the charge, I was told this was standard policy and that it is stated on their website. However, I relied on what I was told in person at drop-off. Clear and upfront explanation of charges at the point of agreement would have avoided this issue.

I completely understand that businesses need to charge for their time. My concern is simply that the fee was not made explicit before the work was undertaken. The response to my complaint felt defensive rather than constructive.

Unfortunately, this experience has changed my view of what was previously a trusted local shop.

The £20 fee is for putting your bike into a stand in the workshop to provide a quotation to determine, source and replace parts. This takes time - our time. To cover ourselves we also generally check a bike over for any safety issues WITHIN this price. We deduct this fee if you go ahead with any of the work advised - it is to cover the time taken by our highly qualified technicians to ensure an accurate quote. I don’t see how we could be any more upfront. This fee is clearly advertised on our website and you were also told at the till that it is £20 to book your bike into the workshop but that this is taken off the bill if you have the work done - common sense would then suggest that it is obvious that the opposite also applies: It isn’t taken off the bill if you don’t have the advised work done!
Why on earth would we bother to take it if we were just going to give it back to you either way?
Our workshop labour rate is £80 an hour. This is the industry standard and we believe it is good value so to be threatened with trading standards, a banking chargeback
and a one star review if we didn’t refund your £20 quotation charge is unacceptable.
In order to quote we had to fully inspect your brakes and source prices for the replacement parts required, in addition within that £20 fee we noted that your entire drivetrain was worn past 1% so we also sourced and quoted for all the other parts on your bike which required attention for it to function safely.
You say that you understand that businesses need to charge for their time so I genuinely don’t know what the issue is here, we can’t and don’t work for free but on this occasion we have donated your £20 to Inspire Youth Zone in Chorley.
Oddly we can’t find any record of you or your wife on our till system as prior customers but maybe it was before we took over the business 8 years ago.

By far the best bike shop i visited

After a total of 3 visits into the store, and a couple of phone calls - i finally took the plunge and bought a new full-suspension CUBE e-bike. Each time i visited, the staff were great. Very informative, relaxed, not pushy, full of advice about the bikes and biking in general. Even Ian the owner spared some time to talk us through the different models. In the end the price was the best i could find and the service far more thorough and friendly than anywhere else I'd looked. The free 6week check they offer as well (after 6wk ownership) seems like a nice touch. Bought with complete confidence, the people i dealt with made the difference. Thoroughly recommend! Final thanks to Lewis for the VERY detailed handover, again loads of advice offered with a bit of a laugh and joke too. Good old fashioned, traditional customer service. Also worth pointing out they had a huge range on show, and offered the facility to test-ride the bikes on site.

Thank you for the great review Antony.
All our shipped bikes are fully built and ready to ride, we just have to remove pedals and turn the bars to fit them in a box, occasionally on larger bikes we take off the front wheel.
Enjoy your new bike!

Fantastic buying experience

Last Saturday I went to view one of their Cube EMTB’s, was left to take a look myself with no sales pressure and after 5-10 mins sales advisor Lewis came over and filled my brain with a mountain of his knowledge about the particular bike I was looking at. Again without pressure he suggested I could leave a small deposit to hold the bike, but I decided to confirm I wanted it there and then and today I picked it up.
So today I picked the bike up, was greeted by Lewis and instead of him just taking my money and sending me on my way, he spent half on hour with me explaining how the bike worked followed by setting up the ride height and suspension so that the bike is literally ready to use!
I couldn’t be happier with the whole buying experience, so anyone looking to buy a bike I would highly recommend these guys, Lewis was spot on, but I could also see and hear what was going on around me and the whole team were very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for any of them.
Absolute 10/10 for these guys.

I bought a cube stereo hybrid AT 800 from Mike and ir was a great experience. They could not do enough for me, super committed to getting me sorted with my bike and second to none communication.
When the time comes to buy again, buy a bike will be my first port of call!
First class service, friendly and great comunication.

This is the third bike I have bought…

This is the third bike I have bought over the last two years. I have been lucky and managed to get all three bikes in an epic deal. I hadn’t heard of them when I purchased my first bike from them but reviews seemed good and very glad I went with them. All bikes have been exceptionally well built. They have been sent by FedEx straight away from order but you could change days if needed. FedEx deliver next day. I look no further than purchasing from these guys. Many thanks to all the team 👍🏻😁

Great bike for a great price

Great bike for a great price. Also called them to get a delivery estimate and was told the bike was being dispatched that day. Sure enough it was at my house less than 24 hours later. Spot on!
