What do you like about our products and services?

Products are top-notch. My family has owned six Treks from the Reston shop and we have loved every one of them. Customer service is top-notch. From sales to mechanics, everyone knows in detail what they are talking about, which makes repairs fast and accurate, and there is no pressure to buy anything. Mechanics take the time to explain anything you need and are encouraging when you want to learn to do things for yourself. As a woman, they treat me with real respect; I find they don’t have the machismo that makes other mechanics treat you like an ignoramus or ignore you altogether.

One of the best services is their bike-fitting, especially Bill Helwig! One reason so many people abandon cycling is that they are uncomfortable and blame it on the bike; they haven’t invested in a bike fit. While you’ll always get a good preliminary fit at any worthy shop, coming back for a professional fit after a few weeks of riding is a MUST. This isn’t just for comfort, but for injury-prevention from musculo-skeletal misalignments or overuse. It should be built into your budget — because any bike that isn’t ridden is money down the drain. Once a bike fits well, you’re riding on angel-wings! And cycling will become a lifelong

Another benefit is that they readily let you try out the bikes to make SURE they will work for you. And they have loads and loads of choices in the Trek line, along with a couple of other brands. Trek, BTW, is a U.S.-based company out of Wisconsin, so buying a Trek supports U.S. jobs.

Added bonus: at the Reston shop, the beer is a thirst-quenchingly good experience! And the store is RIGHT on the W&OD trail with plenty of parking and easy access to the store.

They have provided nothing but outstanding, quick, experienced, and value-driven service and parts for my family for the last ten years. These days, they take particular care to be virus-safe.

What do you like about our products and services?

Outstanding service over the phone. Finding a bike rack, tracking the back rack through delivery, calling around the area finding me another bike rack from a different store when the rack was not shipped in time (bike trip deadline), and processing my return. The staff at Old Keene Mill Road store are amazing and made me as the customer feel good about doing business with you. I will be back to your store at Old Keene Mill.

What do you like about our products and services?

Todd and Richard exceeded all expectations. The bike I wanted was not available at my local Trek dealer. Todd had one and put it aside for me during our first call. For an added challenge, I wanted a couple of modifications to the stock EX 9.7. Richard was able to order what I needed and had everything ready to go the next day. My goal was to pick up the bike as I was leaving for vacation (the shop is just over 2 hours from my home). Collin helped install my pedals, adjust the shocks, and switch the grips from my old Trek. I was on the road with both bikes, ready to ride in no time. Most impressive! If I lived closer, this would be my bike shop. In any event, it’s clear Trek chooses their dealers with care.

What could we do to improve?

1. The long wait to get into the store because of physical distancing
2. The store encourages trade-ins but then low balls the trade in value of bike.
3. It took me at least 20 minutes to check out. At no time was I told why it was taking so long...
4. Bought a brand new bike for my son and he immediately had problems with the bike...wouldn't shift to gear and certain gears caused the bike to "pop" if peddled too fast. Because of the long line to get into the Bike Lane, we went elsewhere to get it fixed.

What do you like about our products and services?

I had to buy a new 700x23 tube with an 80mm stem. The BL in Springfield had the tire I wanted but no tubes. They called the Reston store and found one for me. I raced over to Reston before the store closed and they had my tube waiting. The staff got my wheel taken care of and we were on our way in about 20 minutes. Yes it is a pain in the rear to have limited supplies of tubes but I’m thankful your team at both stores went overboard to help keep me on the road.
