😠 Please do not leave your bikes here! In the end I had to pay double for a previously agreed repair that was only carried out when I noticed when I picked it up that it hadn't even been looked at. This was then done halfway, but for twice the price than originally agreed. Don't let yourself be ripped... People often mention bike, shop,

    I live in the immediate vicinity and walk past this shop at least every other day. I've already picked up spare parts here and there. What I observe, three old hippies, poorly looked after and smelled. They give me the impression that they don't care about the customer at all. As if they have a one-euro job, which they have absolutely no desire for. You can't get any binding dates out of them, and I also miss a real asking price! There's no way they can be competitive... It's actually a shame because I like supporting small businesses.

    Never go there! Never experienced such substandard customer service. One employee is super unfriendly, really rude. I've never experienced anything like that. Misogynistic! Was asked if I was sure I could change my coat myself. I was actually just at the door to pump up the tires. I went in, asked for a tensioner, I forgot it and wanted to borrow it) and also offered a rental fee: he didn't want to. Laughed and said that I probably couldn't do that after all. Then I did that with the door key. Those are real packs.

    Never go there! I brought my bike there after an accident in January. It took them six weeks to come up with the cost estimate (there was probably a death in the company, so people still have a bit of understanding). When I brought the bike back at the end of February to have it repaired, I was immediately told not to call so often again (I had once asked what the status was regarding the cost estimate. I was told that the bike was finished in a week and when there was no call I called back myself.) After four months, which they had time to repair the bike, I went there once (without a pick-up slip) to ask in person and was shouted at. I picked up the bike at the beginning of June and (surprise!) nothing happened. Nothing at all. That's a disgrace. On the same day I took the bike to Markt Wiechert on Knooper Weg. It was finished after two working days and was even €100 cheaper. Do yourself a favor and don't go here if you expect good service!

    Everything was wonderful for me! They even did a little more than requested (free of charge). The previous owner was pretty messy. From a conversation I learned the following: The employees who previously left the store have now taken over. I think the store looks much better since the change of ownership. Newer, cleaner, tidier and better sorted. Given that the boys took over the store with virtually no previous management knowledge, what has happened so far isn't bad. Of course, it always takes a while for everything to settle down. Keep it up! You can handle it :)

    I visit this store regularly. If you just want to browse around a bit or buy a common spare part, then I recommend this shop. However, if you would like to hand over your bike for repairs or inspection, please bring plenty of time and patience. Employees are friendly both in the store and on the phone, but unfortunately they often make unrealistic appointments. I urge you Center Bike to change that urgently. Otherwise you will damage your business!

    I dropped off my bike for repairs. Unfortunately, when I picked it up, I couldn't be told what exactly was broken and what was being repaired. I still had to pay €25. I hope the bike is intact now, even if I don't know what the problem was or what was done... Update: the bike is of course not intact. The brakes were supposed to be done and unfortunately nothing was replaced (although necessary), only the brakes were checked. However, these are too tight so that the front wheel hardly turns. I paid €25 for this, thank you very much!

    Top Service!

  • 5/5 Beate S. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was served very friendly here and I was helped quickly without wanting to talk to me about unnecessary stuff, etc. I can only recommend the shop. (Original) Ich wurde hier sehr freundlich bedient und mir wurde schnell geholfen, ohne mir unnötigen Kram ausquatschen zu wollen etc. Ich kann den Laden nur empfehlen.

    (Translated by Google) You are respected as a customer. Even if you have no idea, everything is explained to you in a friendly and understandable way. So I can't confirm the negative comments and I recommend everyone to make a picture for themselves! (Original) Man wird als Kunde respektiert. Auch wenn man keine Ahnung hat, wird einem alles freundlich und verständlich erklärt. Ich kann die negativen Kommentare also nicht bestätigen und jedem nur empfehlen sich am Besten selbst ein Bild zu machen!

    (Translated by Google) Since we didn't help one! I was missing 1 - one - spoke. So Stoffel comes out of the workshop and says “I need an old spoke to measure” ... No spoke wrench or further movement. My bike was in front of the door! - Then again Megabike. And Stoffel disappeared back into Moria's faces. (Original) Da wir einem nicht geholfen ! Mir fehlte 1 - eine - Speiche. Da kommt so‘n Stoffel aus der Werkstatt geschlumpft und sagt „Da brauche ich eine alte Speiche zum messen“ … Kein Speichenschlüssel oder weitere Bewegung. Mein Fahrrad stand vor der Tür! - Dann eben wieder Megabike. Und Stoffel verschwand wieder in den Mienen von Moria.

    (Translated by Google) I don't understand what problems other reviewers have here ... Has already been here several times with my bike and never had any problems. Even my friends, to whom I recommended the shop, had nothing to complain about. The fact that one employee seems to be autistic can / should probably simply be overlooked ... (Original) Verstehe nicht, was für Probleme so manch andere Rezensenten hier haben... War bisher schon mehrfach mit meinem Bike hier und hatte nie irgendwelche Probleme. Auch meine Freundinnen, denen ich den Laden empfohlen hab, hatten nichts zu beanstanden. Darüber, dass der eine Mitarbeiter wirkt, als sei er autistisch, kann/sollte man wohl einfach drüber hinwegsehen...

    (Translated by Google) Only bad. Staff sometimes felt drunk. Unfriendly, inflexible not again (Original) Einfach nur schlecht. Mitarbeiter gefühlt manchmal betrunken. Unfreundlich, unflexibel nicht nochmal

P.S.: Something else was broken during the repair THANK YOU

    What I wanted fixed was fixed. Unfortunately it took longer than expected and afterwards my bike was more broken than before. I gave the workshop the opportunity to fix their error, which they couldn't do within a week. So I picked up my bike without having accomplished anything and had it repaired elsewhere. Bad service

    Very friendly, down-to-earth shop: The men still repair and also take care of old bikes. And it's uncomplicated and without long waiting times, if necessary even with the key in the mailbox and the bike locked up in front of the shop. With an explanation and within the agreed cost framework. This is rare today.

😠 I hardly know of any charging stations that are as unreliable as these from the municipal utilities. Either charging does not start at all, the charging station is logged out by the operator or charging stops at short notice. If you're looking for someone to talk to about the disadvantages of electr...
