Buyer Beware - Extremely Disappointing Experience
Avoid this shop at all costs. I'm a local resident in the Heights and decided to give this shop a try for diagnosing an issue with my e-bike. It turned out to be a frustrating, drawn-out, and costly mistake.
I dropped my e-bike off on June 1, 2025, and paid a $100 deposit, which I was told would go toward the diagnostic. Audrey told me it would be looked at within 10-14 days. Three weeks went by with zero communication. I had to call them, and was told they needed another week because only Mark could handle motor diagnostics. A week later...still nothing. I followed up again, and they asked for yet another weekend.
By the time they finally looked at the bike, an entire month had passed. They worked with the manufacturer via email, and ultimately determined the issue was the motor, something I had suspected from the start.
To make matters worse, I was then handed a $441 bill just for the diagnostic and motor removal--with no prior estimate or warning. The only thing quoted to me was a shipping charge to send the motor to the manufacturer for $30, but the final bill listed the shipping charge as $55. The bike is still not repaired; I now need to source and install a replacement motor separately but refuse to continue to work with this shop.
They do not provide quotes before doing work, yet they'll ask for approval and then charge whatever they want based on however many hours they later decide it took. Most reputable shops provide an estimate or range first, this one doesn't. Their internal organization is also lacking: parts from other bikes were scattered all over counters, and there appeared to be no consistent repair timeline or system in place.
Audrey was also surprisingly dismissive and condescending, criticizing my $2,200 e-bike as a "cheap online bike" and generally disparaging anyone who buys from direct-to-consumer brands. Totally unprofessional. When I called to discuss my experience with Audrey it ended with her hanging up on me because she said she was too busy.
In short: lack of communication, no scheduling transparency, no pricing clarity, and poor customer service. I won't be back and I'd strongly advise others to look elsewhere. read more
