I've been there a couple of times and got treated really unfriendly every time…read more Even when there was something wrong about my bike when I picked it up (which worked perfectly fine before I brought it there) they didn't want to help me at first when I directly went back with it. Only after explaining them twice they solved the new problem but didn't show any motivation in doing so. And I do speak German so that couldn't be the problem I won't go there again!

I also had a terrible experience there. I brought my bike in to have my chain fixed. They told me I…read moreneeded a new chain, I said fine, they charged me 34 Euros and an hour later I picked up my bike. However, one of the gears did not work at all. A few days later I brought it back and asked them to please repair the bike so that all the gears work, like before; otherwise, I would like my money back. They pretended they didn't know who I was. I went home and got my receipt, returned to the shop and then the repair man said; "you only bought a chain! we told you that your gear rig is broken, and that you needed a new one too!" Which is funny, since all of a sudden they remembered me, even though 20 minutes earlier they seemed to not have any idea who I was. Of course, they had never mentioned anything about a broken gear rig the first time, and even if they had, it's unlikely I would have answered: "No, I would only like to have a partially functional bicycle - please, only repair the chain so that some gears don't work". I'm taking them to small claims court. I advise anybody reading this to take your bicycle to any other shop - a repair person who does not communicate honestly from the start or does a poor repair job and then doesn't own up should not be allowed to run a business. It seems I'm not only the one who got shafted by these crooks.

They really make every excuse possible to not work on budget bikes. 2 weeks wait - ok, I'm patient…read more You won't use my parts? Ok, I'll pay you to let me sit here and do the work myself. Still won't let me? No. Carried my bike 20 minutes there and forced to carry it 20 minutes back. The best they could offer is to *sell* me the tools to take home and work on it myself. I'm sorry for having a used 1980's bike. It's what I wanted. It runs well, and every other shop in the city has had no issue working on it - some shops even offering small work for trinkgeld. These guys are heartless and only for the wealthy. Really regret my choice to try this shop (shoulders still recovering).

Last month I rented one bike and when its rear derailleur failed I swapped it for another. No problem! The atmosphere is great, the politics are great, and the service is just the best anywhere. Take a peek into the workshop--you'll see what great mechanics they are; and the price is also the best!

This is exactly what you should be riding if you want to blend-in in Berlin. This is a city where people put a lot of miles on their bikes. Dings and paint chips are signs of love. And the PRICE IS RIGHT! Four Euro a day, and you don't pay till you bring it back. (Hence the name "for four". Such a lucky find!
