I needed a pair of spin shoes & had no luck ordering them on line. Village bikes was recommended…read moreto me by a different bike shop that didn't sell shoes. There was older one man sitting, observing anything that might go on there. There was another older man walking about drinking coffee. Then there was a younger guy with a beard who seemed to be talking with the man drinking coffee as he was working in what appeared to be the shoe area. I felt invisible. I didn't want to interrupt their conversation. Finally the younger chap asked me if I needed help. I told him I needed shoes for a spin bike. He asked me my size and grabbed a pair. They didn't quite fit and that was the only pair in my size. I suggested to go up a size in hopes they had it. I asked if they had any other sizes or styles he said no. I asked if they were going to be getting any more restocked he said no. I tried the shoes on and they fit. I asked if they had more selections on line. He showed me the box and let me take a picture of it, then left me alone. I decided to take them but he out the box back in the stack so I wasn't sure which pair it was I tried on. I walked over to the little coffee bar and he was on his computer, working away. After about 5 minutes I said-" excuse me but I would like to get the shoes please". He looked up from the computer-said "ok" and went and got them. He rang me up, I asked a few more questions that went no where and then his attention turned away. A couple walked in and the older guy drinking coffee pounced on them promptly. I was there around 11 am and I was the only person there originally. They seemed to have a lot of cycles and accessories but I felt ignored and brushed off. I hope you have a friendlier experience than I did.

Osprey Ave location: Uncomprehensible lack of customer care. If I were to sum it up, I'd say…read moreattitude attitude attitude. Brought in a bike that needed a shifter either fixed or replaced for the front derailleur. The guy behind a computer screen, who was clearly annoyed that we were there for service, finally looked up at us. Mind you, no greeting whatsover. I had to make the initial "hello" greating to break the ice. Seemingly after I explained that I can't move the shifter for the front derailleur, he looked the bike over and said that for him to work on it we'd need 3 more items including a new rear cassette, and then gave us a total that was way more than we could spend. While I was deciding what to do, he rather emphatically stated, "if it were me I don't think the bike is worth it". WTF does he know what that bike is worth to me? I was certainly not going to purchase a new bike. Other than the shifter being broken, for the purposes we use the bike for... simply riding around the neighborhood, it works perfectly fine. I asked if he could just fix the shifter and he said, "you'd have to agree that you're not going to come back and hold it against us if something else breaks".... could he really be serious? Since I had gone through the effort of bringing the bike in, I agreed to his silly demand and said, "I'll just have the shifter replaced". A week later I went to pick up the bike. They had REPLACED THE WRONG shifter (which wasn't broken and had replaced a couple of years earlier at a much friendlier shop). I said this to the guy that was there this time and he said, "I see in the computer that you refused to do the work we recommended". I said, "correct, but that has nothing to do with you replacing the wrong shifter"? He said well it says "the right shifter on the work order". I said, "I didn't write the work order, there was no ambiguity as to which one needed to be fixed when I dropped it off". Honestly, I was incredulous but not rude. He hesitated, not knowing what to say. At this point I was quietly furious with this shop. I said just let me pay for this and I'll go somewhere else that actually cares. I will never go back to this shop and will strongly NOT RECOMMEND doing business there.

Store was packed and the bike tech had a bunch of bikes behind the counter waiting to be serviced I showed him my dirty Mtn bike and broken chain. He checked my chain to make sure it was still good and that I did not need a new chain. He could have tried to "up sell me" to buy a new chain but did not. Said my chain was still good. Then God bless him said "give me 5 min" and took my bike away and within 10 minutes had it all done. Wow! Amazing and I am so grateful to him (Ken was the name on the receipt) and a that kind of customer service. Of course feeling guilty I bought a new water bottle and some GU's and Honey Stingers.

Well, I thought "that's easy". I put in the request. But no one called me. Three days later I received an email stating that they will be in my area and if I wanted to put my name on the list to pick up my bike. I was surprised because why would I let you pick up my bike if I do not know where you are taking it to and how much it is going to cost me. I want to talk to someone about it first before I made my decision. This business has some good reviews. That's one of the reasons why I reach out to them. The other reason why I chose this business because they are mobile. But they don't do any work on your bike at your place. Again, they pick up the bike and then service it somewhere else. I didn't like that idea. So, I didn't respond to the email.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND KYLE AND PARRISH BIKE REPAIR !!!!…read more I had a problem with a rear tire tube on my ebike and reached out to Kyle at Parrish Bike Repair. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Kyle came out to my house today and replaced the tube right there. He was extremely friendly, professional, and just an all-around great guy to deal with. He took care of the repair quickly and made everything so easy and convenient. Having someone come to your home, take care of the problem, and treat you like a valued customer is getting harder and harder to find these days. My bike is back in action and ready to ride !!! I would absolutely recommend Kyle and Parrish Bike Repair to anyone in the area who needs bike repair and service. If you're looking for someone who knows what they are doing and genuinely cares about his customers, give Kyle a call. THANKS AGAIN, KYLE! GREAT JOB AND GREAT SERVICE !!!

I gave them the benefit of the doubt and told them ok, I can wait 3 days for Andy to look at it. Long story short $85, 3.5 weeks and they didn't even bother to inspect their repairs. The gear shifters were broken but they changed the gear shifter cable. Didn't bother calling me to notify me the shifter was broken so they just put a new cable anyway. When I arrived to pick up Andy gets a bad attitude because I display my dissatisfaction. My biggest beef wasn't the time or cost, it was the lack of care. They never bothered calling me or letting me know the price was more or the repairs were not enough. Just bare minimum service and attitude. Please give up the bike shop if you don't care about bikes anymore.
