BIKE SHOP - Flat tire repair
I didn't buy my bike from there but I got two flat tires and so took my bike there to have it inspected. It was a sunny and busy Sunday afternoon (lots of people bringing their bikes in because it was such a beautiful day to be out for a ride).
I got there at 2:50 pm and waited about 7 mins to be served. I told them I thought the inner tube needed to be replaced and they say they would have a look and confirmed that I had MEC membership which I did. I appreciate that they ask up front. Wrote down my name & # and gave me an estimated time it would be completed and cost depending on if it was just the inner rear tube vs tube + tire that needed to be replaced.
They also offered to call when it was done.
They called me in less time than they had predicted. The best part was that it cost less than $20! Breakdown was $12 for labour + $5 for inner tube + HST (13%) tax = $18.65. I appreciate knowing exactly how much each part cost inc labour.
They were efficient and very courteous and patient (I don't know much about bikes esp repairs)! Thus I gave them a 5/5.
They also lifted my handle bars for free :)
Would I recommend to a friend? Absolutely!
