Steve (who I assume is the owner) has been so helpful and accommodating every time I've been in here, which has been over the course of almost a decade, every year or so. I've had a couple of bicycles tuned up, bought a few tires, and last summer, I bought our son his first bicycle. Stellar every time. Today, we went in to purchase a kick stand (I'd rather support Steve than Amazon or any big box store.). First of all, he was so friendly to my little guy; he even let him come in the back to watch him use a hacksaw and grinder to trim and grind his new kickstand. It took him several tries to get it just right on such a small bike, but Steve persisted and got it perfect. As I was checking out, I asked if he had a rubber tip for the stand, as we'd be storing it in the house on hardwood floor. He said, "Oh man, I'm so sorry; we don't." No worries. "Waitasec," he said. Then he rummaged around and found a bigger kick stand that had a rubber stopper, but it was high end and in a package. I started, "You don't have to d..." "No problem at all, man! I get it!" he said, as he ripped open the package, took out the rubber stopper, and put it on our little kid bike. I've got more stories like that, but I'll leave it at the one that's most fresh on my brain. A-1 is the bike shop in the Woodbridge area! Side note: if you purchase a bike from here, they have a trade-in program for kids. Buy a bike from them, they give you a better trade in credit if you upgrade through them when the kid outgrows the old bike. Done. Never going anywhere else as long as we're in the area.

I took my bike in to have the brakes adjusted and for an overall "wellness" check. As soon as I…read moreentered the store, I received a friendly greeting from Matt. He acknowledged my reasons for bringing my bike in and put it on the bike rack for an initial check. After the mini assessment, he advised that it may take about 2 - 3 days before it is ready. To my surprise, I received a call the following day, advising that the bike was ready and the final cost, which was exactly what I was quoted on my initial visit! When I went to pick up the bike, Steven greeted me when I walked in. He went over the work that was done and asked if I had any questions. It was a smooth and easy process. I was very happy that everything was professional and straightforward. I was happy that there were no up-selling tactics or pressure to buy anything else. I was also very pleased that there were no "unexpected" costs associated with the repair. Very professional!

Prices were very fair and the quality of his merchandise was top notch. Chris was so kind and patient helping me get the gear I needed. He never tried to oversell me on anything even though he easily could have done so.

He was answering phone calls, handling other customers and juggling me with ease. Super fantastic. Will come back to Sterling or Fairfax for any future needs. I later found out that Chris turned out to be the owner so fingers crossed he never retires. Side note -he has a sick Grateful Dead collection! Highly recommend visiting here.

Don't let the size of the shop fool you, they are fully stocked with outdoor apparel, gear, and just about anything you might need to stay comfortable while enjoying outdoor activities any season of the year.

I received notification from Dick's Sporting Goods and also FedEx that it had arrived at my house today however what I found was simply too posts which make up part of the unit but that was all. So in other words I received something that was totally unusable and didn't compromise the majority of the parts that were supposed to arrive constituting the whole unit. I'm including two pictures attached here. One is an actual picture of what the unit is on the website and the other is what arrived at my house. I called the online store location since that is where it ultimately came from and they didn't know what they were doing and it took me forever to get them to understand what the problem was even though it's a very simple scenario and they told me that I would either have to repack everything and let FedEx pick it back up and wait for a new order to come in or I could wait for them to contact the manufacturer and see how long it would take them to replace whatever pieces are missing. I got no idea of how long either option would take. So I spent time repackaging everything for a future FedEx pick up. I called the Woodbridge Dick's Sporting Goods store to give feedback to the store because they are the ones that I paid for this and they are the ones to put the order in and I have to say that I didn't get any empathy at all. I'm sure that I wasn't in a good mood when I spoke to them but they weren't at all helpful or nice about it. They weren't rude either. All I can say is, after spending a little bit less than 1000 bucks, I really thought I would get better service and results than this. I'm hopeful that UPS does come and pick up what they sent and then brings me a new box that contains all the parts so that I can actually have what I paid for. I don't know how long that'll take no idea but hopeful. I would advise anybody to be very careful shopping there to make sure that things are done properly.
