Had what I wanted and the service was fantastic!
Quick, easy and friendly service.
It’s the only “real” bike shop in my area. Everyone is extremely nice, knowledgeable and helpful. A few areas that have been a struggle…There are a few items that you don’t carry that I would’ve appreciated a little more help hunting down (these really cool dynamo powered lights https://www.reelight.com/. I got them now). Hours have become weird during lockdown, so it’s hard to connect with someone when I need something. More options for step through bikes. I was really considering the six three zero, but I want to test ride first. And while the options for knee and back injuries sound cool, you don’t know till you try. Plus after I took lots of time to figure out my best fit, they were always out of those bikes. So I like that I can come in and try the bike at your place. But options and exchanges are limited. I’m probably not your main target (with the step through bike), but I am a returning customer.
Cameron helped me a lot. He is nice guy.
Knowledgeable staff, quality products.
I went to Helen's Bicycles for a tune-up on my bike. The volume of business at the Santa Monica location is very high, which gives you a little indication about the quality and reliability of the service people behind the counter.. While I was there, at least 3 -4 other customers also brought their bikes into the service department for help, and they are well staffed accordingly. There are at least 3- 4 full-time bicycle repair specialists working there, many of whom have been there for a dozen years or more. They are knowledgeable, efficient, and willing to explain everything they do to help you understand and enjoy your bike.
Y'all are great. Great service, great products, and you're quick with labor and orders.
Thanks for helping me with my new bike!!
Loved the store, large, spacious, service was solid and bike came back in perfect shape.
The cost. Maybe it's because of inflation but everything felt really expensive.
Very friendly and accommodating team
Friendly service
Knowledgeable staff and diverse product options
I didn;t ask for the mechanics to build my bike that i had shipped to helens. When I picked it up I was charged 125.00 which I didn't preapprove. Not good customer service.
What do I like about your products and services? Everything. While I was extremely lucky as they told me, I could only have been that lucky because the guys at Helen's were willing to put in the work so quickly after I asked, that it happened. I feel like the first guy in the country with a Crystal White F, maybe I'm not but I sure feel special, and all the staff had such a genuine interest in seeing the colorway on the bike since it was the first one they'd come across, and they kept talking about how incredible it is, which also made me feel special.
Monty was the kindest, easiest person to work with. He clearly thoroughly enjoys his job, and he certainly seemed to really enjoy bringing me the insane amount of happiness that came with my new frame. It wouldn't have been possible without him, and in all my dealings with other shops, despite my phone call possibly initiating the availability when they called Pinarello, Monty called ME back on it, which spoke volumes about him right off the bat. I don't believe I would have gotten this frame if this had happened at any other shop, whether it be someone they would have preferred more, or my appearance not coming across to them as a serious cyclist. I was given the advice by another shop that I should just "take whatever color I can get if I want one of these frames" because they conveniently had a frame in my size, but was a colorway I had no interest in.
Helen's came highly recommended, and I can certainly see why, and will DEFINITELY be the place I get every single bike I ever buy moving forward.
Great service always!
High-quality products, knowledgeable staff.
I ordered and payed for a bike, was told it would arrive on Monday afternoon, I came Tuesday afternoon to pick it up and the sales person went to grab it and couldn’t find it and said it didn’t come in. Friday I still haven’t heard anything from your store, we called and they said the bike was in. The person that sold us the bike had a attitude both times we came back.
Great service. Great selection
Edgar is an amazing mechanic. Serviced my BMC several times and each time the tune up was completed, the gears shift crisply and accurately. I used to drive to Winn's Wheels in Thousand Oaks from MB, but so glad I found a local mechanic. Seth is professional, courteous and respectful. Much needed breath of fresh air compared to a lot of service reps at bike shops that are rude and dismissive. Keep up the superior service Helens.
Great service and well stocked!
