We were in here on the weekend to get some skates for my girl. Maybe it was the time of the year…read morebut most of the inventory was skates, and skis. It wasn't as balanced as I recall. We found her skates pretty quickly on her own, and had to get sharpening and guards for them easily enough. The store itself could use a good cleaning or refresh, its a little dingy.

The staff provided me a free towel when I informed him my skates had rusted due to water. Very kind of him. The price of the sharpening was only $10 and the service was quick.

I visited this place for my very first time, and I would say my first purchase was somewhat on the…read morecostlier side; I ended up buying a little over $500 worth of merchandise. I then went home and ending up purchasing about $170 worth of additional merchandise from their website (which they didn't have in stock at the Mississauga location). First I'll address what stopped me from giving this establishment a perfect rating. I would've *loved* to have given this place 5 stars but here's why I couldn't; they were completely out of free weights. Considering this is a fitness store, one would think they would be a bit more on top of their inventory stocking habits. Here's why *I wanted to give this place a perfect rating*; amazing customer service. Let's not kid ourselves, life is hectic. Working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week makes for a very difficult lifestyle when it comes to finding the time to shop around. After visiting the main website, I decided to contact the Mississauga location directly, via e-mail. I received a prompt reply from a gentleman named "Mark" (I won't give out his last name for privacy issues). I was *very pleased* with the prompt reply by Mark. One of my biggest beefs with companies in a day and age of the internet, is when people don't respond quickly. So his prompt replies really sat well with me. Notice I wrote "replies" (and not "reply"). That's because Mark and I communicated via e-mail *several times*, so I know this wasn't a one time exhibition of stellar customer service. After several e-mails, I decided that on my one (and only) day off from a hectic work week, I'd visit their Mississauga center. The store has a nice, clean layout to it. It wasn't messy (which is something that really gets under my skin when I'm shopping). I was greeted with a friendly "hello" from a gentelman named "Curtis". That's also a big plus for me. I hate it when you walk into a store and you're not given a friendly greeting. Of course, there's a fine line between a friendly greeting and somebody coming across as trying to be a pushy sales person as they stick to your side (leaving you with the impression they're just in it for their commission). I purchased a new olympic bench press and an olympic bar to go with it. Curtis not only took the time to answer my questions, but he actually helped me load my car with the bench press (and that wasn't easy) as I drive a mid-size car (Hyundai Elantra). Curtis was quite apologetic about not having the free weights in stock, but he communicated the reason why they weren't in stock in a clear and concise manner. He exhibited a courteous/empathetic demeanor which, believe me, working in a call center for 12 hours a day I know all too well about. That's why I judge customer service with such fine scrutiny. If I ever slip in my customer service trust me....I hear about it . Kudos to both Mark & Curtis. I just hope you guys don't let your amazing customer service skills go to hell when your clientelle base grows bigger. You have made me one happy customer; I will definitely be returning. Good job guys.

My bikes have been tune-up at many bike shops over the years. Pedalinx is one of very few bike…read moreshops which I can, without any reservations, recommend for tune-ups. All my tune-ups at Pedalinx were professionally done. Pedalinx service has always been friendly and great. Getting the tune-up this year was complicated by Covid 19; demand for bike tune-ups this year went through the roof. I had to wait more than a month for my scheduled tune-up. But the shop did a fantastic tuneup job on my dura ace road bike, and in 1 day! Pedalinx is one of the best bike shops.

I will begin with the positive. When I visited the Mississauga location on Derry Rd, I was…read moreimpressed with the variety and availability of bikes on display and available for sale. One of the two gentlemen, with whom I spoke, was also very polite and friendly. However, I visited this location because of a specific bike they had advertised on sale and when they showed me the bike, I immediately noticed it was not as advertised. They had switched out the front shocks, tires, and shifters for lower end components which were not the components advertised on their website. For all I know, they may have downgraded other components as well that I didn't take the time to notice. While it is possible this was simply a mistake in advertising, I find it a little "fishy". When I asked if they could replace the original components, they made it clear that was not possible so I wonder what happened to those high end components. In any event, I walked out without the bike as it was simply not as advertised. As a result, I doubt I will return in the future. I definitely plan to warn my riding buddies and caution them against buying a bike from Pedalinx.
