Customer service was soooooo good! Can’t tell you how helpful and informative it was. Shopping there felt like having a friend tell you what you need, really had my best interests at heart with honest opinions.
I like the service department. They are very responsive. My only slight concern is that things are a bit expensive. It's obviously not the fault of the service department.
Great vibe at Helens Santa Monica, have rented a Cannondale road bike a couple times for my rides in Malibu, Adam gets you sorted promptly, they set you up with everything you need and have a great selection of nutrition, kits and equipment for purchase.
Shop is well laid out with large range of budget to professional level road, Mountain and electric bikes. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful.
I have not used their workshop yet but they appear to have many bike techs and good quality tools, the rental bike i have hired has been well maintained every time.
Great job, very effective, nice staff, quick service. The only thing is that I asked for a kick stand to be added to my bike and they said that they would do it but forgot. I don't need a kick stand but it would've been nice. Just because they forgot about that 9/10, but really amazing staff.
This was my first time buying a bike (and visiting Helen’s) and I couldn’t be more happy! I worked with Johnny and Cameron and they listened to my goals, gave very insight advice and didn’t push me into any purchase. I felt comfortable and looking forward to go back and buy additional gear!
The repair department under promised and over delivered. Initially I was told 1-2 days to repair my rear tire. They got it done within a few hours and at the price quoted price. Thank you so much!
The selection was great and the staff were very helpful and friendly, and answered all our questions patiently, and took care to make sure the bike fit properly.
Wilber's work, and the service department in general, has been consistently excellent. The prices are fair and the work is performed to a very high standard.
So happy with everything. Great service from Johnny. He explained everything about my new bicycle and asked me what I noticed about each test drive to ensure I was confident leaving the store with the right selection. As someone who had exclusively ridden CitiBikes in NYC the past five years (new to SoCal), he was super patient explaining everything and ensuring I left happy with my bike. I was recommended to the store by my good friend Robert Mitchell, who lived in Venice for 20 years, and I am so glad I listened to him. I won't think twice about where I will go for all-things bicycle related in the future. Thank you!
Adam was great setting me up with the rental and helping me with shoes and pedals. Cameron went above and beyond making sure I was all setup and ready to roll. You have an awesome store and great people.
