10/10 for everything

Couldn’t recommend these guys enough! Absolute 10/10 service from the start. Went in on the Saturday thinking of buying an e-mtb. 2 days later it’s ready to collect. They got everything set up for me and showed me how to work everything. Highly recommend

One very happy customer.

The personal service was excellent. Clear, lengthy explanations were given about their products and no pressure to buy given. We came away feeling confident about our purchase in the knowledge that the support was in place for any future need of help and for after service.

Thank you for the great review Stuart, so glad we could find the part and get the bike sorted for you and your son. Mark never likes to miss out on an opportunity to impart knowledge, even if he did play rugby for the wrong team ;-)

AVOID!!

Took my cube e-bike for repair which was still under a 2 year warranty as per the cube website.The bike was switching itself off and potentially a problem with the motor although they did explain this may be due to the rear mech being removed which I had damaged a couple of days previously.Dropped it at the front desk where a woman explained that I had to pay £20 drop off fee which I found a little strange.It seems that this charge was for me giving them the privilege to look at the bike.I later received a call saying they had found a loose connection on the handlebar keypad which they had fixed and had test rode the bike and happy that the motor was fine.They said they would give it another test ride and would be in touch.I later received a text message that the bike was all done,was ready for collection and there would be £0 charge.I later collected the bike and asked do I get the £20 back as the bike was still under warranty and they had text me saying zero charge which I thought was a perfectly legitimate question.I got a firm no from the woman I dealt with earlier with some waffle about we’ve had the bike in the stand.At this point an older man appeared stating we are not in the business of ripping people off.I replied with I didn’t say you were, you need to be polite to your customers as per your sign suggests and you should consider how you speak to your customers. Again I asked about the warranty and the zero charge but got no response.I bought two bikes from them and spent over£4000 but never again will I set foot in this shop and deal with these undesirable and arrogant people there are plenty other bike shops in the area which can be used. I mentioned to the older man you’re on trustpilot to which he replied “Do what you want I don’t care”. Enjoy the £20 you clearly need it more than I do.

Thank you for your review Roy.
Having phoned up to tell us you had an issue with your ebike motor you were asked to bring the bike into store. You said that the motor was failing to engage and slipping whilst pedalling but on initial inspection we could see that you had removed the rear derailleur and had an un-tensioned, un-guided chain on a single cog.
It was explained to you when you left your bike with us that there would be a £20 diagnostic and quotation fee which would be refunded to you if it was a warranty job.
If it isn’t a warranty issue the £20 covers the time taken to diagnose faults and price up parts and applies to any bike brought in. You were reluctant to pay this and declared ‘But it is warranty!’ and I said that needed to be investigated and we would be in touch once your bike had been inspected.
Your bike was in the workshop for approximately 30 minutes (our labour charge is £80 an hour) during which time it was plugged in to check for fault codes which disclosed a connection error due to you dislodging a cable on the handle bars - easily done during transportation or from an impact. This was pushed back in fully for you and re-checked and the code did not reappear. You were phoned and advised that you shouldn’t ride the bike without a derailleur, that your loose cable had been pushed back in, that there was nothing wrong with the motor and there would be no FURTHER charge. At your request we then test rode the bike and plugged it in a third time to check for errors.
When you collected your bike later that same day you requested the return of the £20 diagnostic fee. I reminded you that there was no warranty issue detected and that it was to cover the time that your bike had been in the mechanic’s stand. You took issue with this and wouldn’t let it drop, I felt intimidated by you and left the showroom. Another staff member explained that we weren’t in the business of ripping people off and you accused them of being rude, threatened to leave us a bad review and left.
Unfortunately we don’t work for free, we do however donate monthly to charitable causes and as such have sent your £20 to Inspire youth zone in Chorley. Best wishes, Buyabike team.

Popped in for a look and a chat while on the vicinity on holiday and came out with a new MTV. Fantastic service. Was able to collect my purchase the next day with all the extras I asked for. Well done BuyaBike.

Super helpful when choosing a E bike

Super helpful when choosing a E bike, the owner spent so much time with us, very knowledgeable, didn’t feel rushed into making a decision straight away. Really great range in store and great test area to cycle round on!

Great shop would fully recommend to anyone!

Wanted to swap my cycle scheme voucher from another shop to here as they had really messed me around. They were super helpful, friendly and had excellent communication. I ordered my bike early on in the week and was able to pick it up with all my extra bits about 3 days later. Super fast service. They tested everything with me when I arrived at the shop, checked everything was sized correctly. I really cannot fault their service. Thank you so much, I love my bike. I would recommend this shop to anyone.

I'm absolutely flummoxed by your 3 star review Mohamed.
We shipped your fully built bike the next working day after ordering on a 24 hour insured service for £19.95, with full Fedex tracking on your emailed receipt. I'm not sure what more we could do?
