Oiltrash Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Name and shame is the game I say...but make sure that you keep your side 100% correct..
Danger Dassie Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 A thread about shops that give good service should also be started. That'd be cool as well.
ewep Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Thats if the shop knows of this site and is aware of a complaint. Call them or mail them, giving them a pointer to the thread.
TheLegend Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 A thread about shops that give good service should also be started. That'd be cool as well. don share this opinion - this site is not for shops to be praised (by themselves) to make more bucks. If someone needs a good shop one can ask, as it frequently happens.
AndreZA Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Thats if the shop knows of this site and is aware of a complaint. for some odd reason the shops do get to know about the posts.

It's interesting how theres this assumption that shops are making money, as if the guys are millionaires. Shall look for the Porche in the parking lot next time.
Jules Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Actually i think that AM does drive a Porsche, if that's what you meant. Perhaps that's because his service is above average though?
AndreZA Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Shall look for the Porche in the parking lot next time. So you've not been so Cycle Lab yet?
Danger Dassie Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Gawdamn.... I hang out in the wrong spot then, shall take a shank with me next time

Never said that bike shops earn millions but some surely make a decent living of their shop - which they work for and usually deserve it.But some shops just have more friends or/and customers here on this forum and it would be unfair to other stores, wouldn't it? But you are right about the negative comments here, they shouldn'e be published either. TheLegend2008-03-31 07:32:41
Oiltrash Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I see the problem as pointed out comes with right to reply. Sites such as Hello Peter are set cater for this' date=' this site is not. [/quote'] This is a cycling forum...where better to discuss bad/ good cycle shop service?

[/quote'] For sure, I was talking generally though. Maybe a platform or forum should be made available then, a rule could that the shop is notified and given a chance to respond. On the whole we seem to agree, it should be done properly.

I mailed the shop so that they know of the post I made regarding the service at the shop.Maybe a response would be given and maybe not.Only time will tell.

As you say as long as it is done correctly I'm all for it!!
GT_Zaskar Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Anyone been on hellopeter.com lately? B.T.W. A friend of mine wanted to start MTB?ng and I direct him to a shop in canal walk where he bought TWO bikes(plus gear etc) on saturday for him and wifey coming to a total of +-R14k and the shop did not even set the suspension up for him! He was totally oblivious that the shops should do it for you and had no idea how in the first place. I for one have had 4 bad experiences with this shop(on 1 occasion the assistant helped me with a smokers breath!!!!) and I will never spend on more cent with them. One a positive note - there's a shop at cape gate that give you fantastic service, good prices and quality product!!See, that was easy, I never mentioned a shop or brand name:-)
hagar Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 ja nee onetime i was there sunday to change some things that were wrongly packaged one meduim one large suppose it was my own fault for not looking but they were stapled together. This one lady there with a camelback on was waiting for service so were about 4 other peoples and she just chucked the stuff down and stormed out. they are not jacked up at all . service is not up to scratch but them being where they are they can afford to be like that cos all the bored hubbies and boyfriends wonder in there whilst Sweetie does the shopping at Queenspark, red square,Edgars whoolies jy weet mos . then we wander around looking for things we need and then we try and smokkel them into the car without tem seeing. they got the monoply in the centre so they dont care
