In my experience they're quick, fix the problem (which sounds obvious but doesn't always happen some places) and don't take the mickey with the bill (again not a given). For my money, they do seem to be the premier scooter repair place around.

While vacationing in London (from Chicago IL, US), my wife and I wanted to rent bikes for a ride…read moredown to Brighton, where my wife was born. We landed on About Town as it was just outside London proper (we didn't want to battle city traffic) and seemed to have a good selection of bikes for hire. We couldn't have been more satisfied with our experience! About Town is a small, but very complete and professionally operated establishment. We handled all of our preparations and reservations via email, to which the About Town staff (Anna and Mike) always attended to promptly. While my wife was disappointed that her Ducati Monster 696 wasn't available, she settled for a Honda CBF600 while I reserved a BMW F650GS. On the day of our rental, we took the train out of London to Wadsworth and somewhat apprehensively showed up with helmets in tow to the About Town shop. Our fears were quickly put to rest when we were greeted by Anna with a warm hello and were quickly walked through our paperwork while our bikes were rolled out front. Mike walked us through the bikes, gave us directions out of town, and we were ready to head out. As an added bonus, due to threatening weather that day, Mike spontaneously offered and threw in (at no charge) a top bag and 2 sets of rainwear (including one slicker off of his own bike!). Now that's the kind of service you don't often find these days. And it's that kind of service that made our experience with About Town so pleasurable. Needless to say, we highly recommend About Town. (And we also recommend the ride down and back to Brighton!) We look forward to a return trip, where we can hopefully have more time to tour the wonderful roads of England.

Sometimes it takes a problem for one to fully appreciate a companies commitment to service…read more In preparation to my visit to London, I contacted several bike hire businesses, and being on a tight budget, I was looking for a deal. Companies promoting "budget bikes" were not helpful when I asked for details, so I decided to contact About Town and pay what it took to get just the bike I wanted, a Triumph T100. The bike ran like a dream, and was in good condition. However, on the morning it was due back at the shop, I was unable to start it. Assuming I had done something to run the battery down, I got the assistance from a neighbour to boost it. I contacted About Town to let them know of my dificulties, in the hope that they would not charge me for an extra day when the bike was returned late. After some time, we got the bike started, and I set off to bring the bike back. Unfortunately, the GPS brought me to the wrong place, and frustrated I stopped to figure out where I was and how I could get to where I was going. When I tried to resume my journey, the bike would not start again, so I once again called about town and told them of my troubles. The bike was at this point over 2 hours late, and I was very concerned that I would be charged for an extra day. They sent a truck to pick me up right away, and when he arrived we discovered that the problem was with the starter switch. They were very apologetic, and seemed almost disappointed that I was unable to accept a different bike for another day at no charge. They gave me a substantial discount, and went above and beyond to ensure that I left a satisfied customer. I am very impressed to their commitment to customer service, and I hope to be able to rent from them on future visits to the UK. P.S. They didn't know it at the time, but I am the president of a riding club in Toronto with a membership of 800+. I will be giving a strong recommendation on our website as well.

They are friendly and helpful, and have even been able to fix small problems without charging me. The staff are trained and accredited by Yamaha UK. And they really came to the rescue when I limped in last year with a malfunctioning engine on the way from Brighton to Shrewsbury on a Friday lunch time. I was expecting to have to cancel the trip, but they worked over lunch to diagnose and sort the problem - and wouldn't accept a tip afterwards. Fantastic. It's hard to find though: turn into Grimston Road from the New King's Road, and then go through the door on the left immediately before the railway arch. Drive carefully - the entrance is narrow and steep.

When I called, Paul said he ordered parts as the bike "needs a new gear link and sprocket/chain kit". The cost would be £300. I never had any problem with gear change and the chain was replaced 2 years ago and nothing was wrong with it. It was amazing that Paul Reeks decided to by-pass me and impose on me some unnecessary repair and cost of £300 without even informing me about until it would be too late! When I told him over the phone he cannot make decision on my behalf, he nicely cut off the line. When I came to collect my bike, gear change and few other bits had been dismantled, but Paul Reeks did not bother to put it back. It was obvious that the bike wasn't even checked properly, but the intention was to replace some parts and put £300 dosh into his pocket.
