TLDR: Fancifull checklist suggesting repairs needed that were already done.
A tough review to write as the staff were lovely, helpful and I came away with a lot of information that I wouldn't have got easily otherwise.
The issue I have is with the overzealous Health Check traffic light stye list they gave me for my bike. I went in about one issue and they said leave the bike and they would give the bike a check over while they figured out what bearings I needed, fine.
I get the check list and it's nearly all red, which wasnt unexpected, the bike did need some work. What I take issue with however was the red markings next to things that did not need sorted, or things that I had just fixed that week before bringing the bike in!
The drive train needed replacing, os it would be a safe assumption that the jockey wheels did too right? Well no, I had already swapped them with new ones and they had been ridden a grand total of 400m from my car to the shop. So they didn't look at them and just assumed.
Similar story with the brakes. The pads are about 60-70% worn and I set the levers to bite quite close to the bars. So red marks next to pads and brakes needing bled! I bled the brakes afterwards myself and there was absolutely no air in them at all (which I suspected having bled them not long ago anyway, but just to check).
If I didn't know a bit about maintaining bikes then they would have quite happily stung me for £100 work and parts that did not need doing on an already massive £700 (proposed) repair bill.
who knows what else was made up on that check list?
