Testimonials:
Hi Craig,
I’m writing to share my experiences w/one of your employees.
2 weeks ago, nearing the end of my ride, my cassette started rattling. I wheeled into your W. Sea shop at about 5:40pm and asked if there was a mechanic on duty. Reinhout (sp?) indicated that he could help me and quickly had my bike on the work stand. Instead of merely re-tightening my cassette, Reinhout conducted a thorough diagnostic and determined that my spacer was the incorrect size. By now, it was after 6:00pm – closing time – but Reinhout continued his assessment of my cassette. What’s more, he located the correct size spacer, installed same, and re-assembled the rear wheel cluster/adjusted the shifting. What I thought would take a few minutes became more involved, thus requiring Reinhout to remain in the shop after business hours…which he happily did.
Last week, during my ride, I noticed that the shifting in my rear derailleur was becoming increasingly tight. Again, I entered Cycle U. at close to closing time asking if there was a simple fix. Again, Reinhout was there and eager to diagnose my shifting problems. With my bike on the work stand, Reinhout performed a thorough exam and identified several possible reasons for tight shifting: he cleaned and lubed the cables and cleared all friction points with compressed air. When none of these interventions solved the problem, Reinhout peeled back the brake handle hood and revealed a badly frayed cable. It was, by now, after closing time and I suggested that I drop my bike for repair some other time. Reinhout indicated that he was happy to help me out and went to work. Shortly, I was back on my bike and riding home.
My experiences w/Reinhout made a lasting impression on me and ensures that I will be a regular customer of Cycle U henceforth (more importantly, I will encourage my fellow cyclists to visit your shop). Also, Reinhout’s dedication and single-minded focus on customer service is rarely seen in the contemporary retail environment…he deserves the very highest accolades for his commitment to customer care.
Sincerely,
P.D.
