Helped a little boy with a busted BMX
My twelve-year-old boy had a BMX with a buckled chain and a few other problems. We got to the workshop door in Bondi Junction and were told, because of the sudden rush of biz due to COVID and everyone wanting bikes, we'd have to wait until Monday to get the bike looked at. The mechanic asked what was wrong, we told him, and he said he'd fix it on the spot. Took him ten minutes or so. While he was working I watched the other mechanics all diligently, and expertly, fixing bikes. When the bike was ready, I handed him my credit card. He waved it away. Legend. Kid stoked. Bike fixed. Free.

Go to Lidcombe and ask for Wan! The Sales Consultant that put me before profit and may have saved my life.
Bare with me. This is a review of 99 bikes that has taken me over a week to write. Namely because the Sales Consultant Wan (from the Lidcombe store)in some ways could get in trouble for this. He broke company protocol/policies/processes and they are there for a reason. They help the shop run smoothly and this means it is easier for the team to help us the customers. It also helps them pay the bills and bottom line in retail is critical. Despite this, Wan is the Sales Consultant that threw this all out the window because he isn't a sheep. He had...Read more
the guts to put his neck on the line, probably get in trouble and upset his coworkers for a complete stranger that was throwing a wobbly in the middle of the shop. Go because he is a legend and shake his hand. He is the type of Sales Consultant that is focussed on what you need, that's it. I'll never forget him. He has cemented my loyalty to 99 bikes for good and if they have awards for Employee of the Year, he gets my vote as a customer. So what did he do? I'm almost 50, never driven a car and just got myself a bicycle to get from A to B which I managed to stack before I had even paid for it. The right handbrake didn't work, my bike had been gathering dust and I was wasting money on Ubers. I was determined to get it fixed. This was last Saturday in Western Sydney when it was BLISTERINGLY hot. Bikes are rarely welcome on buses and without a car my only option to get it fixed was to ride it to a store. I live in Merrylands and decided Lidcombe was the safest, flatest route with less Pedestrians to ride a busted bike as an absolute beginner. I braved the scorching heat and set out naively. It was a grueling ride and I had to walk a lot of the way for my own safety and that of others. Even stopping the bike to get on an off was a shakey affair and I almost came off a few times and horrified or amused many motorists. I finally arrived at Lidcombe shaking. Relief and pride that I had done it, in heat worthy of the reception room too Hell and without injury to others or myself.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Bad service
Young blokes bike had a service including brake replacement,took it back a few months later ( busy leading up to Christmas) only to have the service manager denied it was his problem that the mountain bike despite having little us had dust on the brakes that’s why they don’t work not the the fact they had no oil in the master cylinder

Average customer service
We bought a Petal bike for our daughter from Santa for Xmas. It broke by 9am Xmas day resulting in a fairly disappointed girl, however we went to the shop Boxing Day & they upgraded the bike to a Mongoose, which was on sale, so we didn’t have any further issues, but since this was the bike we were deciding between before Xmas a little disappointed we weren’t pointed in this direction originally.

Great Customer Service
I bought a child's bike for Christmas. It came and was assembled on time as promised. When putting it in the car I noticed a big scratch on the handlebars. When I went back in the store they offered 3 options to make it right, including exchanging it for a much more expensive bike at no extra cost. Highly recommend the Penrith store.

Very helpful staff. Customer focussed.
Had to buy replacement tubes and other accessories for our bikes and, as a first time customer, found the customer service refreshingly reliable and efficient. The sales representative had a professional knowledge of what I needed and put me under no pressure to buy.

Terrible customer service at Stanmore shop
A sales consultant was incredibly unhelpful and obnoxious when we visited (2/6/19) to report a repeated fault in a new bike, insisting it was “user error” without seeing the bike.

New bike with many problems
Bought a new bike and there have been many small to dangerous problems with it. It has been back to the shop 3 times and for more than 2 weeks. If they had built it up correctly and checked it over properly before selling it then I would not have had to go back. There appears to be a focus on commission and getting things done quickly rather than providing a quality and reliable product.

Poor customer service and communication
I ordered a basket for my bike at the 99 Bikes store in Stanmore and paid a deposit, waited 2 weeks, no call that the item has been received and can be picked up. I then went into the shop only to hear that they had already sold the basket to someone else. The guy in the shop told me that that has happened before and that it is a certain colleague who does that. I was offered to order it again and wait another 2 weeks or get my deposit back. Needless to say that I ask for my money to be refunded which I got but it took almost half an hour for t...Read more
he sales rep to go back into the computer and hand back my deposit. To order the basket was an ordeal (took just as long to order and pay the deposit as getting the deposit back) as well so overall I was very unhappy with the lack of service and communication which is a shame as this is my local bike shop and I would love to support them. After they sent me an email asking about my shopping experience and I answered how unhappy I was and why. However haven't heard anything back from 99 Bikes, it doesn't seem they are really interested in improving their services.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Website promises are marketing hype
Went with wife and kids to Brookvale store and the service was very poor. No tailored fitting of our kids to their bikes, poor bike options and couldn't spend 5 mins assembling the balance bike for us while the store was empty and the staff just stood behind the counter talking to each other. Will never shop here again.

Rip-off club membership demanded
I saw a cheap ($14) product online, called to check availability and price, then went to store to collect. At cash register they suddenly decided that the price I saw online and that they confirmed by phone (and we had just discussed next to the item) was the 'club members only' price - and to me the price was $20, or I could 'join the club' for $5. There was "no flexibility" about this. The price I had seen online was 'club members only'.
Online you can buy at that price (you 'join' for nothing just by registering. Moreover, the price states "club price" and "recommended retail" [suggesting that this is their price - not that they charge two different prices].
I felt this was clearly a ripoff and left in disgust.

Excellent.
The sales guys here are friendly, really know their stuff and happy to cut a great deal.
The workshop are really knowledgeable and know what they are doing.
In particular the service from the manager 'Sam'i received was 1st class as was that from salesman 'Jervis'.
They say true test of an organisation is how they react when things go wrong, well, they dealt with multiple difficult situations i brought to them very professionally and with a very high degree of customer care.
Highly recommend and will return.

Staff too busy talking to each other
I went into 99 cycles today with $1000 for a bike burning a hole in my pocket. Although, staff seems friendly enough, they had to be interrupted from a four way conversation to assist customers. The gentleman that was serving me then received a phone call. After he did a little dance to his ring tone for the benefit of other staff members, he took a personal call and stopped pumping the tyres on the bike I was meant to be testing to have a chat. After waiting a few minutes, we decided to take our business elsewhere.

Bike purchase
First and last time purchase.
Purchased a new bike and accessories.
The bike they sold me didn’t have the features that the salesperson showed me. So we had to order the next model up which they did me a deal on. The water bottle and cradle didn’t fit the bike frame. I went back to change it over but they were too busy to do it. They asked me to come back during the week.
Not a great experience I would not recommend them to anyone.

Poor Service
We went to Castle Hill bike store recently. My partner put his bike in for service as he needed is brakes bled a small amount so that he could go riding. Upon entering the store a female worker looking at the bike jammed a flat head screwdriver in the bike and tried to force the caliper open. We unsure if damage occurred at this time. Following this the bike was serviced. My partner was called by the store an they stated the work was complete and to come and pick the bike up - in the phone call no statements were made in regards to replacing/ta...Read more
king off parts of the bike. We went and picked up the bike from the store and noticed that the whole system has been replaced with a lower model Shimano which is worth significantly less than the original parts. my partner has Formula RX brakes on is bike which are worth approximately $280 EACH. The mechanic at the store took off the breaks (caliper, pads, and levers) and he subsequently threw in the bin. This is unacceptable behaviour and is considered stealing by consumer law. The parts on the bike were brand new and in full working order when the bike went in for service. We only requested the brakes be bled, yet he has had his items removed/stolen off the brake and replaced with items that are of significantly less value. The service totaled $145. We contacted the store and they told us they would replace the items thrown in the bin - however this has not occurred.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
