Bilao showed great consideration for my bike which was in for a tire change. He cleaned the mudguards of mud to maximise the space for more rugged tyres on my touring bike. He fitted the tyres perfectly to allow a smooth ride with no rubbing he also adjusted the brakes and pumped up the tyres. It felt like a new bike! Thanks Bilao, I Totally trust Balfes for great service every time.

Great service
Repairs done fast

I popped into the Essex Road store with my bike after accidentally breaking off the front tyre valve, hoping to book it in for a repair. I spoke with a very friendly gentleman named Ed, who told me there was no need to book it, he’d fix it for me on the spot. I also mentioned that my gears were slipping, and he offered to have a quick look. Within five minutes, my bike was back with a new valve and perfectly tuned gears. When I asked how much it cost, he just smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it.” now that’s real old school customer service. From now on, this will be my go to shop for any bike issues. Five stars!

Good service no issues

I booked an appointment for a simple change of spoke. I booked on a Monday and next availability was the following Monday, but they only sent a quote by the end of Wednesday (despite I dropped the bike on time that Monday). I asked about when the bike would be ready and I never had any response. I finally got a message by Sunday to say the bike was now ready for collection. I can't believe that a simple repair of spoke took, in total, 2 weeks. The communication throughout the service was simply non-existing.

Thanks for your help with checking Shimano chainset recalls. All good.

Walk in puncture repair sorted in 30 minutes.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Great shop and service!

Great handling by front of shop team when dropping off and collecting bike.
Good communication throughout the service itself on progress and work to be done.
Bike rides as good as new after the work.

The staff here were so friendly and helpful and one of the mechanics called Ed fixed our daughter's bikes within 15 minutes and went above and beyond to get it done and they did not charge alot either which was really appreciated and shows how genuine they are! Would definitely recommend this shop and we will definitely use their services again. Thank you all
