What do you like about our products and services?

Nothing bad to say. Everybody in the shop is friendly, knows there stuff, and willing to go the extra mile.
The other day I had a question about the setup on my bike and one of the guys put my bike on the stand, did a whole systems check on the drive train. Must have taken 10-15 minutes or so. He tweeked a few things while explaining what he was doing. I left the shop with my bike that was in better condition than when I arrived. The kicker was that he didn't charge me for the work even though I offered! you dont see that very often. I would have given a score of 11 if it was available.
Thanks everybody!

What do you like about our products and services?

Since I commute on my bike I like that they take appointments for bike service and the turnover time is very quick. The technician was helpful, answering my questions and explaining the service needs.

What could we do to improve?

Big inventory, staff expertise, and willingness to special order items are excellent reasons to shop Chain Reaction. Plus Trek bikes are great.

I like you folks and you’ve helped me get things I need when others couldn’t or wouldn’t. It’s also a cool rarity that you’re a multi-generation family business. Trouble is there’s also a peculiar “crankiness” or distance in the customer experience that I’ve gotten used to over the years, but that can be off-putting. When I refer friends to your shop, I feel like it’s necessary to warn them about this.

Maybe try walking into an Apple Store and thinking about the experience. It’s inviting, friendly, exciting even. Then, imagine you’re a new customer at your own store — is it inviting, friendly, and exciting? In my view, the design of the interaction between customer and merchandise or customer and staff is substantially different. This is not about white walls and slick tables; rather it’s about feeling welcome to engage with the people and things that are there.

What do you like about our products and services?

It’s a real personal feel at your store that I don’t feel at other stores. That’s why I’ll go the extra miles to bring my bike over when needed or get new bike things.

What do you like about our products and services?

Friendly and helpful service, knowledgeable staff, local family- owned business. CR have, on several occasions, helped me out with weird bike issues which took their time with no evident sales benefit to them. A great community bike store.

What do you like about our products and services?

Great service -
Generally a nice group of staff.

However, one staff member, Kevin J. was super helpful and extremely knowledgeable in helping me to make the right decision when buying my 1st road bike.

Kevin took over an hour to help get me fitted on two different types of Trek road bikes (Emonda & Damone) and with Chain Reaction, I was able to also take the bike for a 4mi. road demo.

Afterwards, Kevin continued to help me make tweaks and even swapped out the stem (no charge).

Great price.
I had my eye on a SL5 Damone and CR had the best price (14%) off and in stock.

With Kevin’s exceptional customer service and a great price, I ended up buying it right then a there that day.

What do you like about our products and services?

Your customer service was excellent. I felt prioritized and understood what I was paying for and why. The team had multiple opportunities to upsell me for services I didn't need but provided honest answers on what was needed and what could be done later. I will be coming back for any maintenance related to my Trek bike.
