“Shocking customer service in Maidenhead store today. I called store and was told they would have a look at my gears if I brought in my bike, it would likely take a couple of minutes. When I arrived at after a 30 minute drive the supervisor point blank refused to look at the bike. He said I'd need to book it in for a service even though he hadn't even looked at the bike. He didn't seemed bothered that a member of staff had said it would likely take a couple of minutes to fix and I should bring it in!! I find service at Evans patchy depending on the store and staff......I bought my £2k road bike from them, probably go somewhere else next time.”

“Just collected my Specialized hybrid from the Reading store. I was served by Ella C who was absolutely fantastic, she was extremely knowledgeable and helped to set the bike up for me. I purchased lights and a cage from Instore, she helpful fitted these for me without asking. Great staff like this means I will be a repeat customer, and will deafinatley recommend this store to all. Great work Ella.”

“I ordered and paid a bike on 10th April. Four days later I received an email saying that the bike was out of stock. After a few emails I decided to order another bike, which was more expensive and for which I was offered a small discount. I then asked if I could pay on delivery, but I was told to call and make the payment in order to proceed with the order. I called 3 times and left a message on the answer machine. No one got back to me. I then decided to go to the local store, when I could finally proceed with the order, but they say it would take 3 weeks for the bike to arrive. The day before I collected the bike, I received a phone call from the store and I was told that unfortunately the bike had been sent without the basket that was coming with it. I collected the bike and decided to wait for the basket. After not hearing for weeks, I called the shop and explained to a guy the situation. He tried to find out about my basket. From the warehouse they keep saying that the basket was sent with the bike, while at the store they say they don't have it. The warehouse has even tried to sent another (much worse) basket that doesn't even fit my bike. Result? Nearly 2 months after my first order I still don't have what I want. What I found most frustrating is that the customer service does not care about the customers at all. They don't seem to realize the inconvenience and waste of time that they have caused to me.”

“I had a great service from the Maidstone store from the moment I walked through the door. I really had no idea where to start with buying a new bike as I am in my fifties and have not had a push bike since I was a teenager. A member of staff approached me and was friendly understanding and did not make me feel like a fool. He advised me on frame and wheel size then got a a display bike and set it up for me. Let me ride it round the car park told me that he thought that I was cramped on it and I could feel the same. We then went back into the store and another bike came out with a bigger frame and we went through the same process again. This time the bike was the right size but not what I wanted we then looked through the available bikes on the computer and I choose one to buy. After a few weeks the store called to say it was there and I went to pick it up and the same process was followed again. Result of the store staffs patience and understanding I am very happy with my bike and Evans have a very happy customer”

“Firstly this is not a dig at mondraker as a company there bikes are awesome this is aimed at Evans I purchased my new bike aswell as paying for next day delivery when it arrived the first problem was the packaging was damaged then when I took it out I noticed on the front forks numerous scratches to top that the metal clip that holds the cable in place had been broken whilst the bike was being made instead of replacing it they decided to leave it as it was and attempt to use a cable tie to hold in place aswell as ye numerous other issues after speaking to customer services and explained this and the fact I payed for next day delivery I have had to pick a diffrent bike and also need to wait a week before I can get my new bike! When people are spending so much money for one of your products you think there would be a bit more care taken. #evanscycles #monraker”

“Dreadful service from Woking branch from an American accented individual who spends too much time trimming his beard. After he told us over the phone that it would cost £65 to recondition some bikes we pushed them for half an hour to get them to the shop. Once there service was slow and he looked at us as though what on earth were we doing in his shop. The price to fix them quickly went to £300 plus even though we had told him over the phone they were in dreadful shape. He then not surprisingly offered us to buy new bikes but frankly who wants to shop in a place with such service. Never an apology or even a sense of contrition for giving us the wrong impression. Anyway we did buy new bikes and he lost on £1200 of sales so we had the last launch. A little politeness goes a long way so shop elsewhere.”

“Browsed Evans website for a matter of minutes and was not signed in. In fact i don't even have an account with them and they do not have my email address yet I am now receiving unsolicited "oops did you forget something" emails associated with the items I was looking at. It would seem that they have used dubious tracking practices to associate browsing to your email address - this seems underhand to me and certainly not the type of company I would do business with.”

“I have visited the Evans branch in Chelmsford on a number of occasions over the last two weeks and have found the staff very helpful and extremely knowledgeable especially Callum, Josh and the machanic Rob. I would be happy to recommend this branch if you need help with anything cycling related.”

“I browsed their website today for less than 2 minutes then I left their site. A hour later I receive an unsolicited email saying "Oops, did you forget something?". Evans Cycle do not have my email address nor do they have permission to send me spam mail. They are using a company called Criteo Email which uses cookies and somehow matches your IP address to a database of email addresses of people who have "opted in" to receiving 3rd party emails. This is how I assume it works It is a very dark and dodgy practise and in my case illegal as I have never used my email address for any marketing opt in. Evans Cycles would hide behind the excuse that their marketing is carried out by a 3rd party Criteo Email and they license their email database from another company and so on. Any company that uses marketing techniques like this should be avoided at all costs.”

“I went in to buy a pair of fiveten shoes having checked stock on their website. Initially not impressed with having to wait what seemed like ages (probably only 5 minutes) to get served but am so glad I waited. To be fair it was busy. Even though the shoes were already discounted they gave me another 10% off as they were a display model then price matched some road shoe cleats to CRC (another £6 off). All in all very happy with the Cardiff branch at Dumfries Place.”
