Personable, professional, non-pushy service. Went in not expecting to buy that day and within 15 minutes I'd made the decision that I was in good hands and was confident to move forward right away. Thanks for a seamless experience.

What do you like about our products and services?

I purchased Pinarello DOGMA F12. I consulted with Brady in Santa Monica shop about the delivery date and specifications first of all. He kindly taught me, and he immediately examine the frame set and component I wanted, and politely answered my questions by email. I’m bad English, so I was very anxious about purchasing the bike I wanted, but thanks to the cooperation of the staff, I was able to purchase the bike I wanted right away. I’m very grateful, I’ll always take good care of the I bought.

What do you like about our products and services?

Very customer oriented: they give good advices and are always ready to help when a customer has a bike problem. Even during the time of the pandemic when they were super busy and overwhelmed, they tried their best to satisfy their customers. Their patience and commitment during that time were remarkable.

What could we do to improve?

I’ve found the prices to be on the higher side and can’t find lower cost items easily (such as bike helmets).

What could we do to improve?

The overall service is very good. The reason I don't give it a 10 is that the man at the check in counter lacks a friendly and welcoming attitude.

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

I had purchased a new bike and lock and was told if I ue my apple card my lock will be non-returnable...
"huh"? you dictate return policies on the transmission of my credit info?
"yea...it randomizes your account number so we can't make returns"...uh...ok. Oh yea and bikes are non-returnable.
"WHAT? but this is a gift unseen for my son for Xmas:..what if it doesn't fit???"
"you can exchange"...
"oh good, that will work" .
..."but only for 7 days"
"WHAT???XMAS is 24 days away, do you have a holiday exception???"
no. no exceptions.
Can you cancel my $800 order?
Yes.
Canceled.

I've been going to Helen's for years, but realized that I have only been getting accessories and repairs, never bought a bike so never knew about the policy.
Thinking I was being unreasonable, I Googled "typical return policies for bike purchases" and discovered REI - returns and exchanges for any reason (other than normal wear and outgrowing) for a year. No questions asked. Went there the same day, spent $900, and met the repair guys. Nice crew. They have earned my business and I have three kids, seven bikes and now a new retailer. Honest opinion, only because you asked.

Service was very helpful. I needed to size the right bike for my daughters. I was way off and glad I spoke to the rep. They installed new kick stand, bells and water bottle holder in a flash. Very friendly
