What do you like about our products and services?

John at the Park Slope location helped me with my first ever purchase of a bike. He was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful as I test rode and purchased the bike, and also helped me to find the right accessories to go with it. I am a relatively inexperienced bike-rider and asked a lot of beginner questions. He made me feel at ease and not silly for not knowing more about bikes. He made adjustments to the bike as needed and helped me to make it my own. I needed as lightweight a steel frame bike as possible because I have to carry it up a few flights of stairs every day, and I was able to get exactly that. I couldn't be happier with my new bike.

All of your mechanics are fantastic and phenomenally helpful.
i appreciate their willingness to really explain what is happening.

Some of your sales guys are... more like sales guys! More self-interested.
I prefer to do my purchasing with the guidance of the mechanics. They feel more trustworthy.

What could we do to improve?

labor rate pricing.
I went in for some minor repairs/adjustments. I purchased 2 tires and a kick stand.
Everything had a labor charge attached. I'm not saying not to charge for labor but there should be one price. I paid $80 in just labor alone. Then to top it off i asked for a bag to carry my tires and was charged an extra $5. for the bag. Service was excellent Polices terrible.

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

The whole process was very inconvenient and there wasn't any real follow through on your end. I had to call mutliple times regarding delays. It seemed like no one was looking after the work order, different people different conflicting responses.

It didn't give the impressions that there was any organization in place. The initial time frame given was off by more than a month and a half with no effort to honor it whatsoever.

Not worth coming back.

The team was so helpful and patient! Michael helped me make a plan for a series of fixes to my bike (which works better for my budget, to spread out the cost), and everyone in the shop was so friendly and welcoming!

What could we do to improve?

we were happy with the attention to service while we were in the shop, however we weren't given any information about the quick release on my daughter's new bike. It wasn't until we were at the car that we realized that it was different than other bikes we've had and we could not release the front wheel. we went back to the shop and asked about it, and they told us... but they did not tell us to not use the hand break while the wheel was detached, nor did they give us any shims (or even mention them) to put in the disc break pad to hold the gap. needless to say, when we got home, we were unable to re-attach the front wheel to the bike. We live close to a Trek shop, and we ended up taking the bike to them - they reset the front wheel for us and provided us with shims for when the wheels are removed from the bike - they also moved the front break line because it was threaded on the inside of the fork. All that said, our experience at habitat was fine, but we didn't know how much we didn't know until we were gone - and then we needed another bike shop to fix things and inform us. it was particularly frustrating because the salesman we worked with even made the point to tell us he used to ride the same model bike that we bought... and I told him directly that I was unfamiliar with hydraulic breaks, and he still didn't inform us. We'll be going to Trek for any follow-up needs with this bike. it's easier to trust them.

Needed a rear light in a pinch for the sunset joyride from Vanderbilt. Was able to consider options at different price points. Staff kindly unboxed for me so I didn’t have to fumble. Luckily had enough charge to get me home safely.
