    I don't know anything about Trek-brand bicycles, but they service other brands of non-electric…read morebikes here and the service is great. They seem to pretty reliably get your bike back within 24 hours, and they diagnosed a tricky problem and came up with a very reasonable solution. They definitely seemed to know what they were doing. It didn't feel like they were trying to get the work or the cost up. They used parts I brought in. Parking is obviously easy in the huge shopping center lot.

    By far the best service at a bike shop I've gotten in the Boston area so far. Prior to this, I had…read morebeen going to Belmont Wheelworks and being demoralized each time by the lack of acknowledgement or help (guess I'm not their target demographic). Seriously considering taking my (non-Trek) bike here in the future for any repairs or maintenance. We were heading back home when I got a flat right in front of Trader Joe's across the street. Thankfully my husband remembered there was a Trek in the nearby plaza. The guys in the store couldn't be nicer! My tire was fixed, my pressure was upped, and I was back in business in less than half an hour. Addison in particular was really kind and didn't make me feel dumb for asking a question. Superb customer service, not enough good things to say. Also, if you're any sort of trail nerd, the store itself is pretty cool with photos on the walls of nearby trails laying out the distance and route.

    I've purchased a half-dozen high-end road bikes from area shops and never had an experience like…read morePapa Wheelies in Wellesley. We went because of low inventory in the area in an effort to find a first road bike for my partner. In the end, they persuaded us to purchase a bike which we learned was clearly the wrong fit (later independently confirmed by two different certified bike fitters within two minutes of seeing her on it), and which Papa Wheelies unsuccessfully and unsafely modified to try to fit her after we reported that she was experiencing extreme numbness in her hands and had difficulty reaching the brakes. (The bike couldn't be made to fit--the reach was just too long. Papa Wheelies used a stem that's incompatible with her bike and is a serious safety hazard to the rider, another shop later pointed out--as did the stem's own instruction manual.) Here's how it went: On May 27th, 2023, we showed up to check out the 2022 Liv Avail Advanced 1 that Mike (a manager) confirmed he had in stock before we drove an hour. It's a jade green color, and Mike said over the phone, "Yes, I'm looking at it right now--it's a beautiful color." When we arrived, Mike only had the 2021 model in a purple color, saying that the system had the bike entered wrong. (He also neglected to explicitly disclose that this was an older bike.) Mike watched my partner ride around the parking lot and insisted the size was right. We asked Harold (a manager) if a smaller size was necessary, and he said "absolutely not." On June 1st, 2023 we went back to the shop after one 15-mile ride because it was clear the fit was off. My partner's hands were quickly going completely numb and she had difficulty reaching the brakes. Mike swapped the stem for a shorter one, insisting that would do the trick, even though the reach still seemed much too long. Worse, he swapped the Giant stem for Dimension stem that, we later learned from another shop, specifically states in the instruction manual (see photo): "Warning: Dimension stems are not intended for use with carbon handlebars or carbon steerer tubes." (This bike has a carbon steerer tube). The other shop explained that this can damage the bike and compromise the rider's ability to steer the bike. Right after this, my partner was diagnosed with a complex meniscus tear and couldn't ride for a few weeks. In August, she was able to try the modified bike on an indoor trainer and still struggled with the same issue (extreme hand pain/numbness). We saw two certified fitters from different area shops. They said there was no point to a fitting and they'd "be mortified if they sold that bike to us." They said a bike shop had to be very uninformed, or willfully careless, to put that stem on a bike with a carbon steerer tube. When we called Papa Wheelies to explain and ask for a refund, they refused. Mike eventually made a half-hearted offer that we could possibly exchange it for store credit and said he'd research other bikes they have that may work. When I arrived to pick up the original Giant stem (since we can't in good conscience transfer the bike with a stem that's a safety hazard), it was clear that Mike's offer wasn't sincere. They told us there was nothing they could do. (Harold told us they could take it back for a $1600 restocking fee.) He was preoccupied with the fact that 3.5 months had elapsed since the purchase (my partner had a knee injury, and it took time to consult other bike shops to fully understand the extent of Papa Wheelies' errors), and he didn't seem to consider that: 1) we returned, citing serious fit issues within 5 days of purchase; 2) they made an egregious safety error in using an incompatible part; and 3) the bike is in brand-new condition. The upshot: We have a brand-new, $3200 bike that can't be ridden by my partner or returned, despite the fact that they undoubtedly knew they were selling a bike that didn't fit properly. There are a number of good bike shops in the area. Go anywhere else besides Papa Wheelies.
