These guys are great. Have bought 3 bike here over the years. Went in today to see if I could borrow a pump for the bikes I had on my rack, since I had forgot to bring my pump. One of the guys come out with a pump and proceeds to pump up 4 tires and sends me on my way. Great customer service. thanks!
Wow. Could not possibly be any happier with the service than I actually am. 1. Broke my internal route shifter cable. 2. Stopped by Spokes Fairfax 11:10 AM. 3. Mechanic Ethan confirmed diagnosis, promised to replace cable same day. 4. Got text, email and phone call bike ready 12:08 PM. 5. Runs perfectly. 6. Noted other shops, not Spokes, are asking four weeks to change a chain. 7. Glad to be living in Fairfax and having access to Spokes. Peter
Very knowledgeable staff and very helpful! If it rolls, they have it.
Continual great service and support from Spokes, both before and after each bike I have purchased and had serviced there.
Phenomenal experience! I had some maintenance performed on my sons bike and everyone from the person behind the front counter and service counter were extremely professional, helpful and courteous. Sean walked me through the bikes issues and then even game me tons of helpful hints. Very please with his patience with me and expertise. Great experience!
Sales ppl are always so helpful. Prices are fair, as good as any other bike shop around. For the local expertise they provide, I always try to strongly support them with my business
Very new to biking and have never owned a legit bike before. With that said, I had a lot of questions. Upon entering, I was greeted immediately by John B. He spent time hearing and answering all of my questions and recommending me a bike.I was able to test drive the bike outside of the store to get a feel. I walked away a happy guy with a brand new bike that I love riding. This is now my main mode of getting around the city.Very happy with the purchase. Very happy with the service.
Just a beautiful store as a whole. All the members there are knowledgeable and love to talk about bikes!!!
Spokes delivers personal service and keeps the information pipeline open. Email and phone commo; plus they gave a realistic expected delivery date for the bike, and then came in a little early! Great service and product.
Everyone we talked to was knowledgeable, friendly, supportive, and helpful. The stock on hand in the store was impressive.
Spokes people are so helpful! From picking out an entry level road bike to explaining how the shifters work to finding the correct replacement part theyve been amazing!
Spokes had my 10+ year old bike running like new. We agreed on the price before hand. There were no surprises and the bike was ready on the day they stated.
My gear assembly on the bicycle had stopped working and I took the bicycle to be repaired. The technician clearly explained the problem and was honest that the fix may not be long lasting as the frame of the bike had been damaged. He still made the best attempt and fixed it saying that the fix may not last long. I highly appreciate his honesty, his courtesy and timely service.
I am always happy to visit the store. Best customer service in the area by far!
I had a great experience at Spokes. They were very friendly and knowledgeable- and met my accelerated schedule. I would recommend them highly.
Great! Needed new tubeless tires installed on wheelchair rims, work done in record time without damage to very expensive equipment rims! Very professional service team.
Spokes is an excellent bike shop, I’ve had them help me maintain my Specialized Crosstrail (also bought through Spokes) which I’ve had since high school. Knowledgeable service techs will assist you with getting the right parts and are ready to answer questions. Same goes for sales staff who are great with recommending the best gear and accessories.
My wife and I came to get our factory tune up on a Sunday. The associate told us that the turn around time is about 4 weeks. We told him that we would need our bikes on Tuesday. He worked around our needs and told us that since it’s factory tune up and no parts are really going to be replaced, then he could try to get it done by Tuesday or Wednesday. This location of Spokes ETC has always been so accommodating within reasons of course. Everybody is always so friendly and helpful. That’s why we come back here time and time again. Tyler is also always so helpful about telling us new products and upgrades we can do to our bikes to make our rides more enjoyable and efficient. We truly appreciate every single person in this location.
Catryna was incredible. She stayed in touch to ensure I was totally happy with my purchase and any issues were addressed. EXCELLENT SERVICE!Teena C
As 1 might imagine, I was quite disheartened when my previous bike was stolen (full disclosure—user error, as I failed to secure🙄).Further sadness encroached, as I came to learn more than I cared to about supply chain interruption.Nonetheless, when I finally stepped into Spokes Fairfax & let Ana V work her magic, I was rejuvenated. All was Not Lost…I just had to be patient.The wait is over & I am thrilled to the heavens with my Trek Dual Sport 3!!!Thank You Ana V & all the Spokes staff! You Rock👍🏾👍🏾
Very efficient service (went for a tire change)
First time in the store and went in with a flat tire, and was out in 20 mins and got some upgrades. Well done!!
My local, go-to bike shop for purchases and repairs. They are helpful and knowledgeable. Great service too.
Great service! My son was having minor problems with a bike bought online. They were able to point out a couple things like changing the sheath on the shifting cable and its better ever. Definitely recommend Spokes Etc.
Very helpful in explaining maintenance issues. The best choice for anything to bike maintenance and equipment.
Always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. Convenient shopping and great product selection. Best service department around.
Took my bike in for a wobbly wheel thinking it needed a full tuneup, but they checked the bike and said it just needed a wheel true-up. Work was completed on time as promised.
This place is great. This isn’t even the closest bike shop from where I live but after calling them the first time I have to go here because I just feel comfortable with them right away and I was right. They are the same in person, professional and friendly, not intimidating. They are also still pretty busy when I brought my bike in for service so that says something about them.
Basically I had a bike to overhaul, but I dont ride it much, and not under extreme conditions. I selected the basic package and they said that would be fine. Also they were willing to install a previously purchased inner tube and some fenders for free, as a courtesy.
The customer service was great. Ana greeted me at the door and offered to help right away. She was courteous and helpful, and when she didnt know the answer she asked Chang, the manager. Chang was extremely knowledgeable and both made me feel welcomed.
Guys in the service department are friendly and knowledgeable.
Nice staff- shared info...timely repairs
Excellent communication and service, highly recommend this place for all of your biking needs.
Spokes has a great selection of products available when other stores don’t. They also have very knowledgeable and helpful staff and are eager to help
Always like this place. The people are always nice. I like the service area for bikes too.
Staff is incredible! Im a total newbie and Tyler took loads of time to fit me on a bike, help me pick pedals, shoes and a helmet. He even helped me load the bike in my car during some heavy rain.
I have had nothing but great service here over the past 8 years during which I have been a customer. The team at Spokes, Etc. (every store!) is dedicated to helping DC area cyclists get the most out of their cycling experiences. They are simply the best!
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff! The person we talked to took plenty of time to understand our needs and options.
Spokes made my purchase and pickup of a Kuat Sherpa 2 bike rack very easy, even as I was coming from Atlanta to get it.
Pandemic appears to have increased business! Im usually pleased with my experiences here. Unfortunately this trip identified a policy I was unable to accept--leaving my bike here for an extra two weeks while parts arrived and for my turn in the service queue. I prefer to schedule the service once the parts arrived, similar to an auto repair/service shop.
Staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable which allowed me to make the right choice.
Convenient location; nice store with plenty of bikes, equipment, and accessories; helpful, knowledgeable staff.
The store has a good range of products available for immediate purchase and the sales associates can also assist with finding additional products to ship to store. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to assist but are not pushy. I have come twice for bike stuff for my young son, and they have helped me find what we need. The products are high quality. The staff are top notch, they care about their work, and I can trust them to help us find what we need.
Not only Spokes helped me find the right bike rack, I actually ended up saving a ton compared to the prices at the dealership!My rep was very knowledgeable and trained me on how to install the bike rack on my car (was my first time ever!). Overall, awesome experience for one very happy customer.
Excellent service. They shipped a bike for me. The bike shop in Florida said it was the best packing job they had ever seen.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff and timely service.
Such nice people at this store. They will help you out in anyway. Service shop will walk you through any service they recommend before they work on it.
Expert and friendly staff, genuinely interested in cycling and helping others with all of their biking needs. Good selection of parts, materials and everything i need to keep my bike running great.
Fantastic service for road bikes. My 2012 Giant Defy Advanced needed some work - a cable had snapped, my rear wheel was only an approximation of “round,” and new tires and bar tape were well overdue. The shop got all the work done flawlessly with great attention to detail, at a reasonable cost, and an excellent turnaround time. Not every shop has mechanics that can competently work on serious bikes owned by serious riders. These wrench-turners aren’t just assembling new bikes out of boxes and changing tires; they’re legit.
I dropped off an older mountain bike for maintenance. The mechanic was very helpful and gave the bike a quick check while I was there to recommend replacing brake pads and some worn cables. Nice selection of bike apparel and accessories in the shop to choose from as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
The person assisting me and the mechanic were fantastic! When the mechanic was installing the kickstand and then observing adjusting the seat, he brought up that the bike I had already purchased may not last as long as we expected. The bike is a gift for my daughter who was close to needing the next size frame and they brought this to my attention, fully aware that I could leave the store without making a purchase. Once it was decided that I would purchase the bike, the person assisting me went out into the rain to help get the bike into the car. The integrity and helpfulness of the service at this store was exceptional. I will recommend to all in search of a bike in the Baltimore/Washington area. Thank you.
Purchased sons bike here three years ago. Brought it in for a tune up. Service staff very was friendly and knowledgeable. Price was fair but understandably amid this COVID climate, turnaround time was longer than expected (about two weeks).
I bought my bike from Spokes etc this past weekend. The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. They took a lot of time to help me and explain my new bike. Id recommend them to every one looking for a new bike.
Good bike selection and friendly service. Ordering online and picking up at the store was a good experience too.
My bikes back wheel became wobbly. Spokess technician did a good job explaining what it would take to fix. He recommended changing the whole wheel, which made sense to me. I picked it up a lot earlier than I thought and the bike is in a good shape. I highly recommend Spoke Etc. for anyone living in the Fairfax area.
This place is great. Thanks to the kind help and detailed explanations of all the staffs, I was able to get the bike that works for me.
Id like to thank the Fairfax team that assisted in getting my bike ready to shred the trails. Although I did not purchase the bike in this location they were just as helpful when I came in to pick up my bike (Trek Fuel EX 8 XT). The lead service mechanic stopped what he was working on to answer questions and provide me tips on how to take care of my new ride. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable of their products, and if one did not have the answer to a question they were not shy to seek help and make sure my questions were answered.Once again thank you all.Carlos
Very nice and helpful staff great place
Brought 8-year olds mountain bike in for repair on a broken derailleur and loose rear brake. Technician was aware of the problems and everything was fixed 4 days before the due date. Professional, courteous, and job real done!
Top notch products, top notch service. Tyler really set us up for success.
Great product and awesome customer service
I was very impressed with the attention given to me the second I walked into the door. I was greeted and got pointed in the right direction immediately and once I got to the service center they listened to what I needed done, worked up the cost of parts and labor, finalized everything, and called me later that day when it was done. Very smooth very professional!
They fixed a very trick situation very quickly for me. I had a tubeless tire that kept leaking. My mechanic friend could not get the tire off. I called Spokes etc. in Fairfax VA and they had a new tire that would fit. I brought in my rim and tire and they easily removed the tire from the rim, put on new tire, new sealant and had me on my way in 15 minutes. I was wrestling with this issue for 3 days with 2 other friends helping.Also everyone in store wore masks and enforced everyone coming in store to wear masks and practice proper social distancing. So Im very happy with Spokes etc. in Fairfax VA.
Good Costumer service
The maintenance and repair shop is always efficient and reliable, and the bicycle mechanics are friendly and helpful.
Always professional service staff. Sales folks are courteous and knowledgeable. When they have serviced my bike, they do more than I asked for and no extra charge.
As many years I have rode a bicycle I really never got appropriate cycling shoes. Now more than ever I needed them for training. I knew I had to take a step forward somehow and get better cadance from my rides.Thanks to Tyler at Spokes for taking the time to properly fit me in my new Specialized hybrid cycling shoes with the BOA adjustment.I thought learning how to ride with them would be a challange but they really were a snap (no pun intended) and I did 12 miles my first day in them on my Diamonback with absolutely no issues!Also a big shout out to the installation guys for getting my new pedals for the shoes installed in literally 5 minutes.What a difference good cycling shoes make! I cannot believe I waited this long to get them.The entire team at Spokes got me fitted and riding successfully today with my new equipment and I averaged almost 2 mph average faster!Oh & Tyler if you should see this review I have an original Mongoose Sycamore (92 I believe) I use to mountain bike with long ago.
My wife and I were new to the bike market and went to Spokes and are so glad we did! We had been browsing around online for weeks trying to figure out what was the best option (bike) for us. When we went to Spokes, we weren’t pressured to buy a bike or one that didn’t fit our needs/wants. We were very pleased with the customer service and help we got. We will continue to go back to Spokes for all of our bike needs.
Excellent communication, excellent service and super fast given the current back-up. Really appreciate the service and professionalism. Highly recommend!!
Staff were super helpful in helping my kids pick bikes and helmets. They helped us get the right size, and showed the kids all of the color choices and accessories. Great customer service!
Great customer obsession and only took a few days (for a simple fix). They have many customers so be patient on the timing of getting the bike back.
I truly love the customer experience of going to any Spokes Etc., and these days I feel even better about supporting a local company. They have done an excellent job at effectively and speedily dealing with customers during the Great Plague of 2020. If you arrive on the weekend, dont let the long line intimidate you. It moves relatively fast.
Friendly and helpful staff, shop has a good atmosphere.
Went there for a flat tire. The service was great and the gentleman that helped me was respectful and helpful. The price was responsible.
Ordered my bikes online. They arrived as promised tot he store of my choice. Stsff was always very helpful and professional. Bikes are awesome.
My best friend of 40 years and I wanted to buy identical bikes to celebrate his retirement and future rides together. It was a tough bike to find, so Steve from Spokes went above and beyond by tracking down a bike for me from another store in NJ and having it shipped to Spokes. Best part was he did it all without my knowing. Great exhibit of selfless service.
Great service, great place, everyone is welcoming. The Spokes Person who helped me was very knowledgeable and helped me chose the best bike for my specific need. He was patient and professional, and answered my million questions. I really appreciated his help.
Local bike shop with super helpful crew. Got my Bike and my daughter’s bike with very helpful information from these guys, I am most likely visit them sometime this year to make some upgrades on my bike. Definitely recommend to get your bike here and make upgrades as necessary.
I brought in two bikes for service and they did an awesome job. The staff was professional, knowledgeable and prompt! I am very happy with their service.
Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable staff. Service shop is top notch!
They were able to help me with all of my bike needs and is my go to place if I have any questions.
You guys still fulfilling the lifetime seasonal tune-up benefit on a bike purchased almost 30-years ago is amazing. Parker did an exceptional job tuning up our bike, especially getting the shifters to work smoother than they have in at least two years. Well be back for purchases once its safer to come out and enjoy the store.
Everyone was very nice and the service was wonderful!
Every staff member who assisted me was pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful! Both service and shopping experiences were a joy!
Spokes has done a great job with their Covid-19 policies and still delivering great customer service. Had a great sales experience with Carl. He took the time to call all the stores to confirm inventory. Really appreciate it!
The team here is great! We needed to replace a washer that dissapeared off a quick release axle so we jumped in line 20 minutes before closing. John came out to help and had us squared away in less than five minutes. Really appreciate the teams attentiveness and John being able to produce such a quick fix!
Dont give them your money for a new bike. The will tell you that they can get you a bike faster than anyone else because they had reordered a bunch from their distributes but its a lie. They cant get bike any faster than any one else and they know it. Theyre just trying to get you to put down money for a pre-order. DISHONEST! take your money somewhere else
Ive been here twice. The first time was to see if they could replace the tired on my electric scooter, which they could not. But the staff person was very friendly and carried my scooter back to my car for me.Yesterday I went there to get a tune up on my bike, which I hadnt ridden in a while and its been sitting on my balcony. A staff person helped us unload the car. A technician got to us within a few minutes and said we could browse while he looked it over. The bikes they sell are mostly not for the casual rider/spender. The adult bikes were upwards of about $2,000. As we browser, we were asked by three different employees if we needed help. Even though their bikes are expensive, the staff are very down to earth and friendly. I felt totally comfortable taking my $400 Fuji bike in there.Maybe fifteen minutes later, he told us that the bike was in great shape, he just made some slight adjustments and filled the tires. When I asked how much, he said he had plenty of air at his disposal and there wouldnt be any charge. Were thanked him and filled the bike out to the car. We realized that we didnt know how to take the front tire off, I went back inside to ask for help. An employee was super nice about coming out too show us how to do it.Overall, it was a great experience. Ill definitely go back there whenever my bike needs work.
Absolutely awesome service! With the current social distancing requirements, Spokes has had to adjust how the stores run, which could easily lead to problems. However, when I went there today for a small repair, they were doing everything they could to ensure things ran smoothly. A gentleman was outside directing customers based on what they needed (sales, service, order pickup, etc.) and making sure that the people waiting were taken care of. Everyone inside the store was hustling to make sure that the wait was as little as possible. They fixed my issue with no trouble and had my sons bike in working order in no time.
I always have good experiences here. Salesperson is very knowledgeable and service very fair. All-around very helpful.
Great place!
I love this bike shop! Always received friendly, informed, prompt and courteous service.
Staff was very helpful and friendly. We found the perfectly sized bike for our 4 year old who immediately started zooming around the store. Will definitely come back for his next upgrade!
My girlfriend and I purchased 2 bikes today and I have to say the customer service was top notch. We worked with Chang and he was incredibly knowledgable and took his time to make sure we had everything we needed. Also, I am not sure who came up with the procedure for shopping during the pandemic but is was super easy and well organized.
The turnaround was great and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.
We worked with Jill at the Fairfax, VA location. She was excellent! Helped our daughter get fitted for her new bike. Took her time with us and made us feel special. Would highly recommend. Great experience!
Solid service. Good recommendations. Very friendly and effective staff.
Assistant Manager John Brackett worked with me over the course of a few weeks in person and via email to determine a good bike for my fitness needs based on the limited inventory available. I have not owned a bike since I was a kid, and his insightfulness and kindness gave me the confidence that I was making a good purchase within my budget. Customer service such as provided by Mr. Brackett is what will bring me back to Spokes and is why I will recommend Spokes to any of my family/friends in the area.
