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

You fix a flat tire your charger more then what is supposed to and when you get home we find out the back brake was not working.

What could we do to improve?

the repairs were done quickly which is great.
after replacing the chain, the cassette and the derailer, our tandem works better than it did, but the person who did the repairs did not take the time to assure that all gears are working well. several slip out. we need to bring the bike back for adjustments and i am sorry that you didnt do this completely the first time

Josh was wondeful! Very knowledgeable, helpful and patient! He fitted me with a nine that meets my needs and lifestyle and made sure it was ride-ready when I left.
In addition, he offered sage advice about seating, height, sizing, etc.
Very happy with my new wheels!

What could we do to improve?

After quoting a price for service the customer should be contacted if the charges are going to be increased, and thus exceed the original quote. In my opinion it is the best way to manage the customer's expectations with respect to charges for service.

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

Bought 2 of a particular product only to later discover they were not the same...returned the incorrect one and presently waiting for the correct one to come into stock.
That was one thing.....the other thing was the return/order process seemed to be unnecessarily complicated.
I'll still continue shopping at Helens but since you asked, I'm telling you....!!
Thanks

What do you like about our products and services?

What a fantastic bike shop!!! I arrived when the shop was re-opening after 1/2 hour lunch. An employee welcomed me in, even though there were a couple of folks milling and waiting to enter. I was immediately assisted by another employee, but had come to see Monty. Monty connected right after that and took it from there. I explained a little about my shopping journey, I was interested in an eBike. He began to bring out a selection of bikes for me to try to fit my needs. The store is situated on a street with a cul de sac, which is key. You can test the bikes very safely on the cul de sac, and even hit the bike path on Broadway if you wish. This allowed me to safely and robustly test the bikes I was interested in. (This is in contrast to some other bike shops, it is very hard to know if you like a bike if you cannot safely test it.) Monty was an expert at the bikes and knew intuitively which ones to offer. I felt like I had a solid selection to try and I knew what I wanted by the time I had tested about five bikes. Monty was kind and patient. I never felt rushed, even though the shop was very busy (again, in contrast to other bike shops I had visited). There was no pressure to purchase a bike or any paraphernalia for the bike. I left with my dream bike and my first ride near home the next day was fantastic!!! I love my bike! Helen’s is THE BEST! I would highly recommend to anyone, and have already done so to friends.

Generally service is great!! Have had a couple interactions that were not pleasant - an overall superior attitude (my opinion) when trying to ask questions.
