All of the staff was very knowledgeable and spent time with me helping me make informed decisions about all things biking. Even though the store was packed and busy, everyone was well taken care of as they shopped.
The service department is awesome. They are happy to help and very quick.I bought a $7k bike because Max in sales took such good care of us in previous transactions along with the service department and I do not even live in AR.I will be sure to buy all my future bikes here instead of Trek Bikes in Austin, TX.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, quick turnaround time on service, quality repairs and maintenance, reasonable pricing. the whole package!
I dont remember their names, but the guys in the service shop on 10/01 were awesome. I came to Bentonville from WI and on my first day riding my rear derailleur broke. I brought it to the shop and they grabbed a new derailleur and threw it on in less than 20 minutes! While I waited I had a blast talking with the staff. Super knowledgeable and friendly. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend. They saved my trip!
Came to this store trying to buy a new mountain bike for my kid and fix an old one that got wrecked in a crash.Knowing that it’s a little difficult to get spare pieces right now. I told the guy that we needed a crank arm for a Giant Talon 2.I know they don’t carry that brand but I was in the need to fix this bike because my kid races for NICA and if it was necessary and couldn’t find the piece buy a new bike.The guy that helped us at the beginning everything was normal but when I told him about my kid riding a “Giant” bike and wanting to fix it, immediately in a not very professional manner (with a mocking grimace) rapidly told me “Sr we aren’t a Giant dealer” I was aware of that but this guy didn’t really seemed wanting to help us.He offered to talk to one of the mechanics who was very polite, and he on the other hand try legitimately to help us.But unfortunately the firs impressions are the ones that will always remain.After that experience I went to Mojoes cycling and they did everything they could.And they never stated “hey we don’t do those brands”Bottom line the guy didn’t leave a good impression in me.I just bought another bike and it isn’t going to be the last one.Sorry I never leave negative feedbacks but in this case I think it was necessary
Brought bike for new tires. First day riding, the rear axle fell out causing the tuning to be messed up. Thought it was Phat Tires fault. Brought it back in and they graciously fixed it and let me know the bike had a wrong bushing causing the axle threads to not fully engage. The bushing was out on by a different bike shop while replacing derailleur. So Phat Tire fixed for free another store’s mistake. Yeah, I’ll be back, and I’ll let all my friends know if the great service. Not visits took less than 20 minutes. Highly competent and helpful.
Stopped in due to broken spoke and they had me up and running in a matter of minutes. Recommended them to other riders in our group when one of them got a slash in their tire. Same story...2 new tires very quick. Amazing service and a very personable staff. This is the go-to shop in Bentonville.
What a COOL bike shop! Huge selection of bikes, used or new. Price tags on everything so didn’t have to hunt anyone down to ask prices. All of the best brands. Bikes for every purpose. Super informative and helpful employees, lots of accessories, and a shop in the back if you were to need a repair done on a whim. Thank you Phat Tire for the pleasant experience.
Everyone was super friendly, super helpful, and super knowledgeable. I could tell all of the staff just wanted me to get on my bike and ride and they were willing to squeeze me in to make it happen. The team at the Bentonville location went above and beyond in every way! Id happily buy the entire team a round of beers!
I was super impressed with the service at Phat Tire. We came in last Saturday morning and when we walked in the store was super busy. Within minutes we were greeted by a gentleman who helped us with our search for a new bike seat. Not only did he show us where the seats were, but stayed and talked to me about what I was looking for in a bike seat. Once the choice was made we took my bike over to the service area and we were done within 30 minutes of walking in, new seat installed. Great job Phat Tire!!!
Nice shop, good merch. The folks here are genuinely helpful, theyre not trying to sell you something you dont need. In fact they seem to only want you to get the perfect items, one employee sent me to another resource to get a slightly better size instead of pushing the sale. That prompted me to buy other merch (hat, t-shirt) because I always want to support an honest business that puts the customer first
Service department was awesome, the gentleman that helped me was quick and attentive he took care of my bent rim and had me back on my way in no time flat, and the price to fix it was super reasonable. Also was offered a complimentary beer from one of the local breweries while I waited. Top notch!
We were in town for the day and rented som cruises from here. The staff was really helpful and they had plenty of last minute hike options. We road our bikes all around town and we’re able to take some trails suggested by the employees. They also had the most bike options with some very affordable pricing.
Came in from out of town and needed some fresh gear and love supporting the local bike shops. Great service, great people! Had everything I needed and more! Can’t wait to come back. You’ve got my business!
Unbelievably good service! The bike maintenance staff is on top of their game for sure! Ive been here a few times and there is always someone eager to grab a bike and immediately start the repair, even when the shop is about to close. Everyone is always happy and smiling. Prices on everything Ive bought from repair parts, protective gear and my recent tailgate pad purchase are very fair and dont seem to have the local bike shop markup Im use to. Love this shop!
Great shop, got me and my friends riding again twice this past weekend. Once, after I got a little too excited on a downhill and bent a brake rotor, and then when my friends shock sprung a leak. Great people, great shop, great stock choices, and good looking branded attire. They were really helpful about rentals too, even though we ended up renting from someone else who had the right sort of bike available. Definitely worth a stop if youre in Bentonville.
We come to Phat Tire anytime we are in town and need something for biking and they have never disappointed. The service has been beyond great, the employees are friendly, and they have just about everything you could need for biking. Today they went even farther above and beyond the mark of great service in the shop. We went in to buy tires, picked from their sizable selection and, even though they were set to close in 20 minutes and we offered to come back another day, they squeezed us in. After they got 1 tire off, they questioned whether the ones we picked where going to fit. Per the manufacturer website for our bikes, they shouldve fit however, the techs keen eye noticed that our rim width was able to support the tires width but, it would likely cause issues as the tires were slightly outside the safe width for our rims. They offered to do it anyway with the warning that they didnt reccomend it. We heeded their warning and ordered the size we needed since they didnt have that in stock at the moment. They put the tire back on, added sealant AND the tech was so sweet, he didnt want to get my brand new teal grips dirty so he put a towel over them to keep them clean while he checked that the bike shifted through all gears again.On the sales end, we got great advice and conversation about some gravel/road bikes and they had some in stock at other stores that they could order to our local store. We will always come here because the people here are so knowledgeable and friendly.
Just brought a group of 19 youth and parents to phat tire and had a great experience. Josh was very helpful leading up to the rental and great at communicating. When we arrived the staff was really organized and got all of us on our way really fast. I was really impressed with the quality of bikes and service! I would recommend phat tire shop to anyone
I was in the area with about 3 hours of free time. Rented a Salsa Rustler mountain bike to explore Slaughter Pen. When I got out on the trails I soon realized that the handlebars were not inline with the forks and the bike would not shift correctly. Skipping gears so I had to shift up 2 and back down 1 to get to the correct gear. Still had a great time but it would have been nice if the bike had been dialed in.
Front of house staff very helpful. Repair shop staff AMAZING! Turnaround time for replacing my front tire tube was 10 min. Great people work here.
Was staying in Bella Vista with a group for a long weekend get-away. Stopped in Friday night (4/23) as I needed a new tire so I could ride the next day. Stopped in for about 20 minutes. Service was AMAZING! Absolutely TOP NOTCH!!! Had a new tire mounted in about 10 minutes. I simply couldnt believe that the guys had it turned around in such a short amount of time. Had a great experience and will gladly recommend Phat Tire Bike Shop to anyone. On top of that, the guys even offered (and provided) a beverage while we waited. Thanks again.
Sweet shop! Great staff!
It’s so simple and You will find so much stuffIt’s a COOL bike shop!Very Huge selection of bikes, used or new.Price tags on everything so didn’t have to hunt anyone down to ask prices. All of the best brands. Bikes for every purpose. Super informative and helpful employees, lots of accessories, and a shop in the back if you were to need a repair done on a whim. Thank you Phat Tire for the pleasant experience.
As soon as I walk into Phat Tire, someone asks me what I need. They always get my bike on the stand immediately. Most shops at home require days not minutes just to look at my bike.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE TEAM AT PHAT TIRE!!! I went in with a terrible attitude because I was 5 miles into a 50 mile ride and couldnt get my bike to shift. They got me all fixed up and even took the time to explain the problem to me. I was back on the road with the confidence that my bike was in great shape!! I would gladly have walked 5 miles to have taken my bike to the team at Phat Tire!! I will ALWAYS take my business back to them. Thank you for taking care of me and turning my grouchy day into a GREAT day!!
Friendly & helpful customer service. It can be intimidating to walk into a shop full of bike experts when you’re brand new at it, but everyone is welcoming and helpful, which you don’t find everywhere!
First time visiting Bentonville and had to make the rounds to some of the bike shops. Phat Tire was awesome, super busy and well staffed! The selection to choose from was pretty awesome given the shortages seen with the pandemic and we found items for our adult daughters. The staff members were very cool, courteous even though busy close to closing time. Great job people!! We hope to be back in the near future!
I recently visited this shop and rented bike in this store for 3 days and had a best experience ever in-spite of an unfortunate technical glitch in the bike on first day.Josh was gem of a manager who evaluated the situation and fixed us in real quick and put us back in action. I would recommend this store and revisit this place again. Great job guys !
Love the Phat Tire shop downtown. Usually stop in at least once for fun whenever I am in town. This trip I snapped my dropper cable at the far end of Slaughter Pen. Rode back in to town and straight to the shop. They had me fixed up and back ready for the trails fast.
Seth & guys hooked me up with derailleur hanger fix in no time after i torqued mine on a morning ride — my first ride on Back 40. He shared great local info on where to go & insider knowledge about trails & resources. Grateful for his expertise that got me back on track for the rest of our vacay in this awesome place—thanks!
I give 5 stars but, I didnt do anything but ask questions. I spoke with Griffin, he was eager to answer any questions to the best of his ability. Even the “petty” questions, he took the time to explain. Very nice shop, very nice staff. The rental prices are very competitive!I will be going back!(Entry level cyclist)
Just hanging out and talking to the mechanics and staff. Its mora than just a bike shop, its an experience. This location is special and when I come thru town (for about 10 years) this is where I go.
Best bike shop in Bentonville! Great location! Always stoked to have you in their shop.
Always a great experience with helpful, courteous staff & plenty of options for all your biking wants & needs.
Could not say enough good things about this shop! The whole staff is super friendly and extremely helpful. Special thanks to Joe Manuel and Rob for all the help and advice on riding!!!! Their guidance and tips were priceless and made our whole trip. So very grateful, cant wait to come back.
This is a great shop!! Visited the area with a friend and the guys from the shop were super helpful and very friendly. Joe and Rob are the GOAT, they gave us the best tips on where to ride and were very knowledgeable. Will definitely be back. 10/10 would recommend.
We were greeted immediately by an employee upon entering the shop, who was very helpful yet laid back. To my surprise, we were offered a draft beer while we shopped! Yes, it was delicious!
Great bike shop and friendly staff. First time visiting the Bentonville location and they had everything we needed.
Highly recommend any of the Phat tires although Bentonville is exceptional!! Service department keeps me going no where else.
The service is always really solid and the folks working there always make as much time as needed to answer all questions both for bike maintenance and purchases.
No help what so ever! All they want to do is sell stuff. Retail only, I guess if you want to build it yourself dont go there.
My first time stopping by Phat Tire was about four years ago. The staff were enthusiastic and friendly yesterday, as they were then.To make matters even worse 😉, when asked about having a “beverage”, one of the guys in the shop stopped what he was doing, and served us up with a smile.I have in the past, and will continue to support and recommend this bike shop, 100%.
Great Service! Very Helpful! Got a great deal on a used bike!
Daniel was very helpful. Exceptional service, very kind. I felt very welcomed.Daniel took his time to explain every detail that went into every repair he made on my bike, I am very pleased and will definitely be going back to Phat tire bike shop.
Danny is the best bike mechanic Ive ever known. He fielded my phone call and understood the problem, he confirmed he had parts and another way of solving it if the parts didnt fit. He identified me when I came in and quickly troubleshot the problem while doing the work required. Not to mention he is just a nice guy too. The shop itself is nice and offers a large selection on most things. Incredible for downtown location.
Jordan and the team are top notch! Super quick, honest, and extremely helpful.
A very friendly and helpful staff along with a great selection of bikes and accessories.
Great shop! Super friendly staff. Stop by and check them out if you are in town.
Even with a bunch of maintenance on my bike, before a recent trip, I noticed my rear wheel had some loose spokes and was out of true. Stopped by Phat Tire and they immediately put it on the stand to tighten up and true the wheel. Just fantastic service from a busy shop. They also have a great selection of kit and accessories. Love em !
Excellent people, excellent client experience, every time. Jordan serviced my bike, excellent work, delight to work with, finished ahead of schedule. All the people in that shop have an incredible attitude, highly recommend.
Phat Tire folks are very interested in getting you the right service, part, bike or clothing at reasonable prices. Very good help and selection.
Great people. Great service. So grateful for this shop!
Phat tire is a sweet bike shop and the mechanics are top notch. Was able to get a quick turnaround after snapping one of my crank arms, thinking I was done riding for the rest of my trip. Instead I received a call about an hour later saying my bike was ready to ride. Highly recommend swinging by for a chat on local trails or if your bike needs some tinkering.
This is my LBS and I love this place! I take all the fixes for my bike that I cant do myself here. They are always super quick and surprisingly well priced! Couldnt imagine a better bike shop!
Very accomodating employees and up to date products. Almost one stop shop for bike enthusiast. Highly recommend bike shop.
At the point of walking in, they were friendly, helpful, and informative. The rental was easy to pick up and drop off. It was a place a person could hang out and share stories of adventure. I wanted to work there. This place made the trip to Bentonville so carefree. It is a must see destination and adventure.
Great customer service!!! Thanks Bill for the excellent service. My son is so happy, after your quick fix of the stroller tire. Made my day!!!
I needed some help diagnosing some bike problems. They took the bike back right away looked through the whole thing let us know what was going on, made a couple adjustments and said no charge, just have a great trip. Loved the feel of the place.
Great customer service and friendly staff. Makes shopping for your bike enjoyable
The staff were super friendly. One of the staff members and I chatted it up for about 10 minutes or so and I never felt rushed or unimportant. They were quick to help when I walked in and took me right to what I was looking for. My only gripe would be that the bike inventory was sort of lacking, but bc of Covid and through no fault of their own…. Besides, I wasn’t there for a bike, I was just wanting to look around. They did have a few really really nice bikes though!!
Have been to tons of shops all over the country and the people here are the best I have ever experienced. They had the brake pads I needed amongst a large selection and when I messed up the install they fixed and bled when I walked in 5 minutes before close. They served me a beer at the same time! Can’t recommend them highly enough.
Fairly bussin, decently poggers.
Great shop! Awesome guys to talk to along with a wide selection of product. Now my go to shop for whenever I am in town
The service of my bike was completed very fast and was thorough. I really appreciated talking with the bike technician who was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and gave me great suggestions about maintenance of the bike, moving it, etc. Thank you very much!
Customer service is always top-notch. Knowledgable staff. I got my road bike a performance tune-up and new chain. My bike was completed sooner than expected. Thats a good thing.
Had a bit of time to kill while it was raining. Visited all of the shops in town. This shop had a large selection of nearly everything and even carried Santa Cruz Bikes. Enjoyed a tap while browsing and shared great stories.
Quick, friendly service, reasonable cost for repair, professional working knowledge of what was needed to fix bike. We were back on the road in about 30 min. Thanks for the excellent service! I highly recommend this location in Bentonville.
Could not be happier with them. They seen me right away and found a problem that only a professional could fine. Highly Recommended.
Amazing custom service. From the sales goes to the bike technicians, they all went out of there way for me. I look forward to taking my bike down there to be serviced. Its worth the 2hr drive. THANKS GUYS
The five of us (including two children) visited in February 2021. We reserved online in advance. They had everything we needed ready to go when we arrived. The rental prices are fair and the bicycles were in top condition. The staff were all polite and helpful.
Great customer service. Great store.
So I did a 2 day rental on a mountain Ebike. I arrived @ 10am to pick up my rental and the Employee informed me I rented for the following week not this one. Ya, I felt stupid, but Ben (the employee) saw my face turn red and sweet begin to run down my forehead, quickly said let me see what I can do. I was out the door and rolling in no time. Ill be back. Possibly for the summer!
Unfortunately my experience with these folks was all bad. 😹My bike was dropped off & they had the part on the work desk. “Come back Monday”” & we should have it ready for you.On Tuesday they said it wasn’t ready because they needed to order the part from Fayetteville store.After returning from a week of vacation I tried to pick up my bike & it still had not been worked on yet.(Now 3weeks later), I drove up to the shop & after 20mins and a lot of talking in the back the young man returned to the front desk & told me they would try to get it done today.Grrrrr. They finally got it done and txt’d.I was never contacted about their delay in repairs, given any explanation or apology.It has now been 3 weeks & I have not been contacted about the poor service they were “checking into” according to the email 📧 (pic below)I hope that I am the only person who they have treated so poorly. I will take my business elsewhere from this point forward & will be sure to let all my fellow bicyclist enthusiast know of the service they can expect.
Needed a hybrid tire fix in a mountain bike town. No problem. They got me running again and were very fair on price. Never made me feel unwelcome because I didn’t have a MTB. I would return.
Everyone on the Phat tire team go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. I for all my bike needs I only trust Phat Tire. Special thanks to Bill, Jordan, Clay, Daniel, Tyler and everyone else their for always taking care of my bike needs.
Beautiful shop with a lot of inventory and employees.
Great store full of great products. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
The staff is very knowledgeable and always super helpful.
Wonderful service and store. Fully stocked for all your needs.
Everyone there is wonderful! Once they know you name, all the employees seem to remember it! I rented a bicycle and wasnt too sure of where I was to meet up with some folks, problem solved, Cody led the way! My son has gone there for a while, now I know why! Kudos to Phat Tire Bentonville 👍
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The floor plan of the store made it easy to find things. Good location, right in downtown with plenty of bike racks in front.
I received phenomenal service with the purchase of a new Trek Top Fuel while in town on a mountain biking trip. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful for my purchase as well as places to ride and eat. The shop was fully stocked with any gear needed. Well definitely be repeat customers on future visits to the area.Post My Review on Google
Great place! Attention was very helpful and in point
We recently purchased two Trek Roscoe 7s from Phat Tire in Bentonville. Their product knowledge and customer service has been outstanding! I would definitely recommend this team for all of your biking needs.
Rented a bike from these guys friendly and helpful.
Give Tyler a raise! Got me back out on the trail in 30 minutes.
I landed at what everyone (townies and travelers) said was, the top spot. They were right. I rented the Trek Rail Ebike, full size large. WHAT A BLAST!!! Ben and Ari took care of me through the entire process of checking in and out, and the bike rental house outfitted me for a proper trail ride. Couldnt have been easier.A fellow rider came along and initially didnt have the same experience I had. After sharing their grievence with the store manager, Phat Tire reached out and offered immediate service. My friend fast became impressed and fulfilled.Choose Phat Tire for customer service, an affordable bike selection, and great memories. This is The Top Spot for bikes in AR.
Service team took a look at my bike and made some adjustments without trying to sell me anything. I returned a few days later when I *did* need to buy something and they were super friendly and helpful.
Thank you for being the friendliest, most helpful, bike shop in town!
I was blown away by the amazing service we received at Phat Tire. I purchased two mountain bikes for my boys for Christmas. Cody was very knowledgeable and made sure we got all the necessities to make their first ride out a success. We will definitely be back when they outgrow these. Thank you
Amazing Bike shop. Best one I have ever been too. Coming from NY was a haul and Jordan helped me with my bike no questions asked.
Great Shop with friendly knowledgeable employees. They are great about doing their best to accommodate weekend visitors with emergency repair needs.
Im very happy with the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the products they carry and sell. The repair shop is also very good and keeping bikes in top operating condition.
Friendly and helpful....good selection especially since there is such a RUN on bikes, clothing and equipment.
Great folks to rent bikes from. Very fair prices and the bikes were in great mechanical condition. We rented gravel bikes to ride on the new Razorback Regional Greenway that runs from Fayetteville to Bella Vista (we only rode the Bentonville to Bella Vista segment this year). The bikes performed flawlessly (well, except I am a SRAM guy and had to adjust to Shimano but thats just me). I enjoyed the shop so much I also purchased a shop road jersey. I will definitely do business with these folks again the next time I am in the Bentonville area. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BIKE SHOP!!!!
Tyler in the shop got me hooked up today for a major bolt that came loose. He got me ready to ride on the spot and explained the problem well. Great service from him. Highly recommend them.
