Was recommended this shop by a mate who said they had reliable workshop. Does not seem to be the case. I called to ask for service availability and was told it's pretty busy. No worries, it's busy everywhere, every shop I've called has a wait list. All good. Get told there will be a spot the week of 17 Feb. Sounds good to me. Don't hear anything back. Give them a call on 19 Feb. Sorry, you were meant to bring it on Monday. Not what I was told but guess it's just a miscommunication, fair enough, no stress. Ask for the next date available. 24 Feb. Excellent. Bring the bike in on 24 Feb., run over it with the guy at the service counter. Simple enough, lvl. 2 service, replace the bar tape, fresh sealant for the tyres. Nothing particularly complicated. Get told it should take 2 days max. Saturday rolls around, haven't heard anything. Head down, different guy at the service counter asks me when I got my quote. Tell him I never got a quote, he says that's odd and goes and has a look. Comes back very apologetic and tells me something's gotten lost and it should have been quoted straight away, service won't start until a quote is approved. Will have it sorted out. Monday's a public holiday but still nothing on Tuesday. Go in on Wednesday. Bike's been sitting there for nine days, seven of which they were open for. Take the bike back, nothing's been done, hasn't been looked at. Apparently I "got pretty close" to getting a service. Why'd you have me bring it in nine days ago? What does "pretty close" mean? Maybe I would have a quote by the end of the second week? Absolute farce. Appalling customer service, no attempt at any sort of communication. Timelines provided were obviously way off and they were never going to inform me of that unless I went and asked myself. The two day turnaround claim was clearly dishonest. And, by the sounds of it, they weren't even on top of organising their own workshop. Overall shocking experience and I will not shop here for service or parts again, let alone a new bike when the time comes.

Deplorable online shopping experience with this Company. Sought out a part that was photographically advertised on their online platform and ordered it - no show within a month. After numerous attempts to contact the store a package eventually arrived but did not include the item I had ordered. I did note that the tiny items that were eventually delivered in an oversized box when a padded envelope would have been sufficient. Attempted to complain via email but communications ceased. Possibly great instore service but remotely, absolutely not.

Pretty poor customer service I rocked up with an e-bike fair play if you don’t want to deal with an e-bike but I was referred to a motorbike store, bad advice. I was also told that it’s not a tubeless tyre after I showed the clerk 4-5 sources referencing this bike stating that the tyre is tubeless and it literally says tubeless on the tyre so very bad common sense here. I was charged 16 dollars to put my own tyre sealent into the front tyre. It took about 2 minutes. The clerk didn’t even apply it to the second tyre. Really terrible service. Trying to rush me out the door. Had to force the business down their throat. The other clerk was chiming in with vitriol and irrelevant dribble when he wasn’t being addressed, which was interesting. I was told no bike store in Perth would want to assist with my e-bike. I literally took it to another bike store with a more resourceful representative who was much more receptive and was able to supply me with the goods I was looking for. So all around inaccurate and inefficient and overpriced. seems like they are a very one dimensional bike store and can’t comprehend anything beyond their basic capacity and knowledge about standard road bikes. Willing to revoke this sentiment if I’m refunded for the poor quality service.

Extremely OVER PRICED & a RIP OFF. The Asian guy there is UNFRIENDLY & UNHELPFUL. The Asian guy that works there - STAY AWAY from him. He gives Horrendous customer service. He enjoys giving people the death stare, and is unhelpful and unfriendly - looks like he is frequently receiving bad reviews and they are similar to my experience. Plus you can find better choice and cheaper prices at other shops in perth. Same stuff just cheaper. Im off to glen parker, 99bikes or speed shop! Bye bye TBE Nedlands! :)

They charged me over $800 to replace 2 standard wheels on my bike and to service it, they didnt even index my gears properly, absolute rip off. Make sure you get a second quote from a different shop before going here. I would not recommend them to my friends.

I have been taking my son's bike in for years and having the flat tyre fixed for $20. Today my wife went in to have it fixed and they quoted her $50! I went to Glen Parker, down the road, and they fixed the tyre for $20. Be careful dealing with this branch of TBE.

There is a Asian staff, very bad attitude, unfriendly. I bought a half priced trek remedy there, when I asked if I can have more discount, he was staring at me as if I am his enemy. If the bike was not the last one, only available in this store, I wouldn't go to this store. I hope the boss fire this Asian staff
