I dropped off my Giant TCR on 9/19 for a tune-up and to switch out my 28-inch tires for something more comfortable (30 or 32 inches). I was told it would be ready by the middle of the following week. By Wednesday, 9/24, I hadn’t heard from them, so I called and was told they were having trouble sourcing tires but expected a shipment by Friday, and the bike would be ready by Saturday. No call came, so I called again on 9/26 and was told the same thing: delays with tires, but they promised it would be ready by Thursday, 10/2. Still no word, so I went in today, 10/5, assuming it would be ready or at least partially done. To my surprise, they hadn’t even started the tune-up. The tires were in, but they were waiting for their tire guy to install them. I ended up taking my bike to the Trek shop nearby, as I felt the communication was poor and there was a lack of urgency. I was also frustrated by their inconsistent updates and delays.
I’m giving 2 stars because the owner/manager gave me two free bottles of sealant for my trouble. However, I won’t be coming back for bike service or parts, though I might consider checking them out for used bikes. I ended up at Trek in Beverly Hills, where they had everything in stock and will have my bike done by Wednesday. It’s a bit pricier, but you really get what you pay for. I’m disappointed because this shop is so much closer to me, but I don’t think I’ll return for service. Thanks again for the sealant.
