I'm writing this review hours after I collected my bike from Bolton Cycles. Guys, I cannot praise…read moreyou enough for the great job you did on my ladies Fuji 2.1!!! A brief explanation: I left my bike locked outside for 4 nights in early December and someone messed it up, so I brought it in for repair to another bike shop (OK, I won't say where) on 11th Dec 2024. I was told they ordered the parts for me (a hanger). Not getting any phone call updates which I was supposed to get I rang them twice, once in early Jan and then on Tue 21st Jan. The order was on the way, to arrive at the end of the month/beginning of February. I've already been waiting close to 6 weeks!!!! and couldn't wait any longer. Pretty poor service. So I decided to bring the bike somewhere else. My friend recommended Bolton Cycles - and here's the beautiful story: I rang the owner at 12 noon Wed 22nd Jan and explained the situation. He said 'Bring it in, I'll have the part and fix it.' The guys had the bike ready for me the very next day!!! Not only did they replace the broken part but also repaired the brakes and tightened the rather loose chain which gave me trouble numerous times. BOLTON CYCLES, You have a life customer in me now!!! Best wishes, Maria

If you're reading this review, you're either in the market for a bike store who'll sort you out…read morewith a second hand bike, or you've come across Bolton Cycles before and want some opinions before you deal with them. Well, I've been a regular customer of Bolton Cycles for the last 5 years now, and would solidly recommend these blokes. I just recently got a second hand "GIANT" racer off of them, which was originally worth about 850 brand new and they gave it to me for 320, one year old but post-overhaul....and they let me trade in my previous bike which i had bought off of them and they knocked off 110 (a bit less than half of what i paid originally, but it was 4 years old)....so i was laughing! Also, I went back to them twice to tune up a few things on it, things that they probably should have charged for, and they didn't. If you're friendly to them and show customer loyalty, they will throw things in when they are making a sale and their prices for flat repairs, buckle repairs, brakes and gear jobs are all fairly decent. They also will sort you out with a 6 month guarantee, even on second hand bikes, so it's not a case of "buyer beware" like it would be if you tried to get a bike in that bike yard on Ryder's Row. Sure, it's not the nicest place to hang out, you can barely move around once you get inside because it is literally wall-to-wall bikes all over the gaff, but they make up for it with a decent service. (NOTE - they don't accept cards....get the cash from the Centra just 5 doors down).

Franklin Motorcycles are Ireland's only Indian Motorcycle dealer but you'd be hard pressed to see…read moreanymore than a handful of Indian Motorcycles on their showroom floor. They now specialise in selling off brand second hand bikes and resort to underhanded sales tactics. There is no accountability for anything leaving this shop due their high staff turnover, 6 mechanics in 2 years. The owner does not know anything about bikes, nor is he a biker and will deny any responsibility if something goes wrong. Making a quick Euro on a sale is more important to these guys than retaining customer loyalty and building relationships. I bought a motorcycle from here in December 2022 and when I got home found there was a large hole in one of the mufflers. Granted it was an old bike and overall it was in what I thought was impeccable condition and I paid at the higher end of the scale for it. The owner denied the hole was there when it left the shop ! But still replaced the mufflers with noisy aftermarket replacements as a "good will gesture". The current shop mechanic admitted to me that the rusty hole wasn't new which I have on camera. The mechanic who originally worked on the bike has since left. The owner then threatened me with his solicitor if I posted anything on social media about this and blocked me on Facebook so I couldn't review them there. To top it off the bike wasn't serviced as I was told it was. There was no coolant in the expansion tank, likely because it also had two holes in it, meaning there was no coolant being circulated for a liquid cooled bike !. The oil was old and had to be changed as was the air filter. This cost me several hundred in consumables and parts just to get the bike road worthy. No doubt the owner will reply with a well calculated ream of lies to this review like he normally does to anyone who leaves a bad review and just deny everything. ​

Indian dealers.....more like COWBOYS…read more The bike went in for the following work to be done: * Alternator gasket replacement causing oil leak * Fork seals * Brakes and brake fluid * New battery * Front and rear tyres * Carburetor cleaning / balancing When the bike was returned to me over the next number of days I would find: Alternator Gasket not fitted properly Brake fluid constantly leaking from master calendar onto tyres Chrome exhausts damaged by battery acid because the mechanic forgot to fit the breather hose Chrome side cover was ripped off and broken and they glued it back in place with silicone and said nothing. NEVER FITTED ANY BACK BRAKE SHOES. Front tyre is seaping air. Then you have the guy in the shop avoiding you and giving you bullshit excuses on a daily basis. I guess the legal route is the only way now. Guess if you have to do the work yourself because you can't trust these cowboy bike shops to do it properly for you. I will credit the guys on the engine work, it starts and ticks over lovely - but giving the bike back with poor quality work and more damage then avoiding the customer is NOT ON and I am posting here because they have blocked me on Facebook. No apology, no offer to fix the issues, they just blocked me and put their head back in the sand. UNPROFESSIONAL. avoid these people if you value your bike.
