Customer service

I took my bike in because I crashed it and the wheel wouldn’t turn. The guy in there (I didn’t catch his name) took one look at it flipped it over and fixed it up there and then! Would absolutely recommend great place 👍

After more than a few frustrating experiences with various bike shops, this was a refreshing change. Ordering was straightforward, and delivery was quick and pain free! The item was intelligently packed with no excess packaging materials. The product (seatpack) itself is lovely quality and exactly what I needed. Thank you for your service, I'll have no hesitation in ordering from you again, and would happily recommend you to potential customers. Thank you.

Called South Down Bikes and dealt with a gentleman called Martin for the first time. What a genuinely friendly and helpful guy.

There was an issue with an online price, but Martin honoured the advertised price as a goodwill gesture without any hesitation.

As I'm local, they even delivered the item to me, which was a fantastic touch. It's a shame I didn't get the chance to meet you in person, Martin, but I'll certainly be using South Down Bikes again for all my MTB bits.

Highly recommended!

Excellent service

Excellent service, very simple and easy ordering process, good competitive price, and delivery was sooner than expected which was a bonus too, as the helmet arrived in time for my granddaughters birthday, I would definitely re-order again and recommend South Downs Bikes.

Without any explanation

Without any explanation, you refunded my payment a day or two after the order. That left me needing to source an urgently needed part elsewhere. Then you persistently ask for a review... oops!
