Just had a drain problem sorted by Dyno-Rod, Bristol. After reading various awful reviews on other…read moresites for other DR branches I was beginning to wonder what I had let myself in for. How wrong can one be ? Initial call out was same day and blockage cleared without fuss. Camera up the pipe revealed broken sewer pipe. Signed mandate giving DR authority to deal with our insures directly. DR's back office are appalling and I had to chase all the way. However, and this is the best bit, on the appointed day 2 guys arrived to carry out the repair which involved re-routing the drain. The job took 3 days and for the first 2, it didn't stop raining! Anyway the 2 of them just kept on going and going. The result.... a superb job by 2 of the best I have come across for a long time. I have no vested interest in giving them a good review but feel the record needs to be a balanced one. ps Not sure the address is right, I think they may be based at Cribbs Causeway now.

I cam to Garlands, part of the Zero G family, after my wheel began to buckle slightly and I figured…read moreI would need a new one. Indeed I did, said the bicycle repair man, but I would also need various other apparently essential things done too. I couldn't afford it at the time so just had a new wheel fixed but whenever I rang up to enquire about it they said they hadn't got round to finishing it and the whole process took about three weeks before I got my bike back. I don't know how complicated it is to change a wheel but I wouldn't have expected to wait longer than a week. They did a great job on the wheel though and when I mentioned how long it had taken the guy behind the till (not the one that I left my bike with) was very apologetic and even gave me a couple of free inner tubes and a bike pump nozzle for free. Very nice of them but I'm not sure I would take my bike here again. Good shop for bikes and accessories though.

Given that I'd been using my bike religiously for a good year and hadn't had it serviced once in…read morethat time, I thought it might be wise to get it looked over. It was still in good working order except for a slightly dodgy left brake. Passing Zero G Cycles the next day, I thought I'd pop in and see if they could give it a quick service. Fortunately (or so I thought at the time), they weren't busy that day and one of the guys said he could assess it there and then. After a very brief once over, he looked at me with a face that suggested he really wasn't impressed. He then casually declared he'd have to pretty much re-build it in order to make it roadworthy. Quoting me an extortionate price, I told him I couldn't possibly afford that and that I'd have to look further afield before committing to this dubious plan. Clearly put out by my lack of faith in him, he proceeded to announce, 'Well, love. If you don't get those wheels changed soon, you'll be using your pretty little face as the brakes'. Ah, the true colours of a con artist! I subsequently got my bike serviced at nearby Strada Cycles, who made a few minor repairs for the modest price of £30. They didn't make the connection between my face and the brakes...

Unfortunately, what we got was a very expensive and uninspiring planning application. If this was the basic service we were after we could have achieved this for £500 (plus planning application fee).

We have tried to explain to Simon why we feel let down and have found him to be very defensive and at times extremely patronising. We would not recommend Simon.
