They are my go-to bike shop! They are very knowledgeable, communicative and fast. They go above and beyond with the service and my bike rides like a dream every time I pick it up. Reasonable rates and they don't try to sell me a bunch of extra stuff every time I visit. Can't recommend them enough.

The service I asked for (truing my wheel) was done quickly and well, but the technician also did a few small things like adjust my brakes and check my derailleur with no charge. It was very nice of them.

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

I brought my bike in to get a rear rack attached (specifically, one I could attach a basket to) and asked for my brake pads to be checked because they were kinda squeaky. The technician was super nice and said he could check the brakes but that it might be easier to just replace the brake pads. I deferred to his expertise. I came back an hour later and somehow the entire rear brake caliper had fallen off my bike. Mistakes happen, so I wasn't stressed and asked him what needed to be done. He said y'all didn't have the right brake caliper or rack, so he would have to order both in order to service my bike, which could take up to a week. As my bike was in literal pieces I didn't have much of a choice and gave him the OK to go ahead and order the parts and call me when it was done. I made sure to specify multiple times that I needed a rear rack that could hold a basket *not* a pannier rack and that if a pannier rack was all that was available I was fine without getting a rear rack at this point.

A week went by and I heard nothing, so I called the shop to check in. They had no update and said they were still waiting on the brake caliper. I had to call four or five more times over the next week before I learned that the brake caliper was actually on back order till July. The person on the phone suggested they could put in another order for a caliper, but I wasn't confident that the same thing wouldn't happen. I couldn't go without my bike till July (I use it to commute), so I ended up calling more than a dozen bike shops in the NYC area till I found one with the right part in deep Sunset Park. I trekked out there, bought it and brought the part in to the shop for you to install. When I finally got my bike back, I found that y'all had installed a rear rack designed for panniers only (specifically the Blackburn Interlock Lockable Rear Rack, which is mostly compatible with Blackburn panniers), which was disappointing. It had been two weeks at that point since I first brought it in and I couldn't go any longer without my bike so I sucked it up and went home with it.

I know bike repairs are complicated and y'all are trying your best, so I don't hold it against you, but I would suggest in the future being a bit more proactive with communications if there are delays and making a note of customer requests when it comes to special orders.
