I wanted to share a quick story about how the team at the Trek Northside location saved my weekend and earned a customer for life.
I was in a major crunch preparing for an out-of-town race.
Usually, I keep my bike inside the SUV, but with the whole family coming along, the math just wasn’t adding up. I urgently started calling local shops looking for a high-quality rack suitable for a carbon frame. Most stores had stock, but nothing I’d trust with my bike.
When I called the Northside Trek, the person who answered was incredibly energetic and knowledgeable. I told them I was on my way, and an hour later, I walked in. I was met by a different sales associate who possessed that same high energy and expertise. We quickly found the rack I wanted, but then we hit a snag: they couldn’t find the key to unlock it from the display.
The associate headed to the back to find a solution. After about five minutes, I braced myself for the typical, "I’m so sorry, but..." Instead, he walked up and said, "Our first plan didn't work out, but I have another solution to get you on the road."
I walked out with exactly what I needed, ready for my race, but I also left with a bit of a shock. In an era where exceptional hospitality feels like a thing of the past, my experience today was nothing short of legendary. I later found out the person helping me was the Store Manager—I believe his name was Devon (though I hope I’m remembering that correctly!).
Because of Devon and the team's "get it done" attitude, I’ll be back for all my future purchases.
Thank you for the help, and ride on!
I didnt want a trek. I came for a surly or even a Specialized. I walked out with a Trek.
I rode it a few days later. Just for an eight mile. Then sixteen. Twenty miles in I was still enjoying myself!
Devin and the crew are the best they educated me on proper suspension tuning for my size plus did a great job on my new brake levers. 10/10 would recommend
Mechanics seem very knowledgeable and on point with recommendations. Pricing is high but they work to get you to understand.
Timing/availability is limited - would love to be able to get repairs on the spot out of the team but understand volumes and workload
Service team was amazing. Helped me get a need rim when my old one was broken even though it was an odd size. Arrived in 2 days instead of the week i was quoted. Great team.
Anthony and staff were awesome! Went in got my bike repaired and was not forced into purchasing anything my bike did not require, just great personal service.
Devin was knowledgeable, heard what I was looking for, and made recommendations based on that specifications. I appreciate how patient he was with my inquiries, and ensured that I walked away with a bike that fits my lifestyle and properly fit my body frame. This was a positive first time purchasing a new bike from a bike shop!
Great crew from the sales team to the mechanics! Always treats us with the utmost respect and will gladly explain the nuances of taking care of our bikes with us so we never feel foolish for asking them anything! They pride themselves in their knowledge and want successful cyclist leaving their store. Love this shop!
Devin was super helpful and very professional. He went out of his way to understand my concerns and worked with Al and Anthony to fix everything that was out of sorts
