Handle bars broke on my knee scooter. I wasn’t able to come in until almost closing time. The staff still chatted about my issue and worked swiftly and talked with me about options to repair. Twenty minutes later I had a drivable knee scooter. Thank y’all for helping. Made my day exponentially better and more accessible.
Store is amazing. every staff member is very helpful and always available on phone to help with any question. I bought a bike last year and got a great maintenance plan as well which is not usual if you buy from any other trek dealer. It helped a lot for a new rider like me as I had frequent questions and challenges with the bike. Ben in particular helped me a lot to get my bike ready all the way as I prepared for me first century ride this season. I was able to finish that successfully (Trek100) and then I just did another one (Evanston Bike club - Northshore century ride). None of this was possible without great support from George Garner Cyclery. I am very thankful to the staff there for their help and support to enable my passion for riding. Thank you George Garner Team !
George Garner Cyclery Libertyville is the place to go for your cycling needs and upgrade. They are very knowledgeable and professional. I went there to get my first bicycle and George was able to help me find the specific bike that I need. I highly recommend. Thank you!
The guys on the sales floor at Libertyville were helpful and welcoming. I am older and not very physically active. They never judged me but worked to find me a bike that fit my needs (comfort, sit more upright, mostly neighborhood riding). When it came in, they made sure it and the accessories fit me well. They worked as though they actually wanted to see me enjoy biking. And I think I WILL!
Pleasantly surprised at the size of the facility and the willingness to provide help over the phone! Appreciate the patience and service.
They were so helpful and I love that they donate used bikes for a charity!
They had great customer service for a fair price and the staff are very knowledgeable
Very helpful front desk - they know their stuff and was able to get me in and out with a new bike rack quickly
George Garner Cyclery delivered my sons new bike in a pandemic! Im so pleased they were able to get the bike when other places claimed delivery times of at least 6 months delay.
Very easy to shop online and pickup in store. Employees super knowledgable and eager to help and answer questions. very safe COVID protocols
Awesome job packing a vintage bike and shipping it to me - superb, careful packaging and great communication!
Quick turn around on order/pickup. Great customer service!!! Only place to go for a bike!
Always great service from the staff at George Garner
Go see the team at George Garner Cyclery in Libertyville. They run an exceptional bike Shop. There team is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. Colton with take great care of you.Thanks guys!
Very knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely seem to care
Very disappointed in the level of service. Walked in and he told me to go look online because they had no bikes in stock. As a beginner, I don’t even know what to look for. That’s why I came into the shop. I thought he could’ve at least spend some time giving me some basic information about what to consider when buying a bike. If I wanted to shop online I would’ve never come in in the first place
Walked in to ask about getting a tune up on my bike I purchased here a few years ago. Was putting on my mask as I walked in and as soon as I opened the door the cashier yelled, need a mask on. Very unprofessional, will not return for service or future purchases.
Fantastic service! Staff is very detailed and thorough. Pricing was fair and work was done quickly. Very appreciative that the team was able to bring this 50+ year old bike back to life.
I love this store. Just picked up our tandem which was repaired and tuned up. It rides like a new bike. As always, outstanding service by a highly knowledgeable and very friendly staff at George Garner Cyclery in Libertyville.
The guys were very informative & seem knowledgeable about their products. They took the necessary time to assist me in buying a bike. Very helpful with installing bike rack on my car & help loading it. I will definitely recommend this place & will use them again in the future.
The crew in Libertyville is great. The shop is very clean and well stocked. Whatever you need they either have it or will find it for you!
Great customer service and very knowledgable staff. I spoke to both Ben and Colton, who had information on everything across the board, from vintage bikes to repair advice. The environment is very welcoming and relaxed. There is no pressure, and very prompt service!
Always knowledgeable and helpful. Truly there to ensure you enjoy biking.
George Garner Cyclery is awesome! We couldn’t be happier with the trailer hitch mounted bike rack they helped pick out, fully assemble for us and even run around to the other stores to grab accessories for! They went above and beyond for us! Thank you!
Staff is very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Answered all our questions and did not pressure is in any way. Great bike purchasing experience.
Colton was terrific. Very nice, knowledgeable, and a good listener. He helped me find the best bike for my needs within the price range I wanted to stay in. He then gave the bike a thorough check over, installed the accessories I wanted for me, and even helped me fit everything in my car. Love my new bike AND my new cycle shop!
First time trek purchaser I had an issue with my bike that I bought at a diff bike shop. George took care of the whole problem within a week or so. The place that I bought it from kinda gave me the back and forth for almost a yr. I even called trek myself. George really made me a satisfied trek customer. Super friendly atmosphere. I would definitely go back. Also recommend this shop. Thank you
Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Decent but not overwhelming selection of products. Good location.
Outstanding. Ben was the best. He helped us in so many ways. Go here for your next bike.
High quality service at reasonable prices with friendly and knowledgeable staff.
The staff at this store were extremely helpful answering questions about my new bike and explaining their service policy, adjusting the bike to my height, and helping me select the best accessories. They were friendly and knowledgeable.
Bike needed a tune up and new tires. Everything was taken care of in about 2 weeks. Will bring my bike back in the future.
The person behind the counter was knowledgeable and helpful. I was in and out quickly with exactly what I needed. A very pleasant experience in all respects.
Amazing service ! I came in looking for shoes for spin class and the salesman was not only helpful, but very knowledgeable about their product line and the differences between shoes. I had just come from another store where they could not have been bothered to help me. I tried on a few shoes and the one the salesman first suggested was the one that fit best. Very, very good experience and I am very happy with my purchase !
Honest bike shop with educated and friendly staff. If you’re in the market for a new bike, rental or top notch service, George Garner is a great place to visit.
I use to go here as a child and loved it. This past summer I got the biking fever and checked out a few places. This was the place for me. The bike mechanics/sales dont screw you over and give you advice just for the sale. They really want to make sure you are getting what you need.Tony is someone Id recommend as he seems to be one of the most knowledgeable there. Super friendly.I will continue to purchase my equipment and get advice from there.Easy in/Easy out.
The staff at this shop is so incredibly helpful. I was driving down from WI to meet a friend at Lakewood forest preserve for some gravel riding. I realized too late that I left my cycling cleats at home. I pulled into the store at about 9:30, one half hour before opening. Three of the staff approached and asked what problem I was having. I explained the situation and they let me in the store early. I purchased a pair of shoes, SPD cleats and was 15 minutes early for the arranged time I was supposed to meet my friend. I so appreciate the staff approaching me to determine the problem well before opening time. They saved the day and my bike ride.
Great customer service and wonderful work! Highly recommend!
Great Experience!! Very friendly & informative. Got 2 bicycles for our children and will be back to get ours soon!!
The people are great and the service impecible. Lots of choices and honest information from the staff. Excellent experience!
Quality products both in stock and available quickly through special order. The staff is passionate and knowledgeable!
The salesman listened to what I was looking to do on my bike as paired me with the perfect model. Also helped me with getting the right pedals and tires.
Quick and easy purchase.
Wow!!!! Sold out on second floor of bikes!!! Came in to get tire fixed on bike. Shop did not have my size, but found smaller one in back that got me going. They did not charge me!!!! TThT
I had a very good experience at the George Garner Libertyville store. They fixed only what needed fixing and turned my bike around in a very short period of time. They also rewrapped the bar tape at no extra charge. I would take my bike there for repairs again.
I would not buy a bike there. The staff was not knowledgable of their products. I was shopping for a computer (for measuring distance, speed, etc) and the sales person recommend a brand and said he loved it. However he didnt know the measurement features of the computer and didnt know that you hand to buy the computer and the magnet/sensor separately. So why would he tell me it was his favorite but couldnt talk to the specs at all.
Fantastic staff - great to work with. they really took the time to learn about me and how i would be using my new bike.
Super cool location with a huge variety of bikes and accessories. If youre looking for a great, friendly bike shop, this is it!
Knowledgeable and helpful staff, even during these times.
I recently brought my bike in after its brakes started squeaking and the staff made every effort to get it serviced as soon as possible. They know bikes and were able to offer in depth knowledge about products when I had questions.
I attended a tune up class here today and it was outstanding. I learned a great deal and Jim, Mike, and Tony did a great job while welcoming customers at the same time. These guys are pros! Ignore the bad reviews because that was different store management. Its a new team and I cant say enough good things about these guys. This is my only bike shop!Jeff B
Horrible service - they are only interested in trying to up-sell high end bikes. Dont waste your time.
This is the third bike Ive bought at George Garner Libertyville . Always a great selection, great and helpful service. This is my bike shop!
Wonderful selection of bikes. Tony, Colton, and Kyle all helped me very well through the process of buying and accessorising my new bike. Any bad reviews are incorrect as they are from a very long time ago and the staff has completely changed since then.
Amazing! Iam in town on business and notice the awesome trail system and just kept thinking, if only Ihad my bike here!. Well I notice Libertyville Cyclery on the way back from dinner so I pop in and check to see if they rent bikes. Sure enough they do and I got to spend time riding trails to my hearts content vs. sitting around in the boring hotel room. The staff was amazing and had me rolling in no time at all. Pricing for the rental was also very reasonable. Thanks for making my trip great guys! I will be back!
Well, I dont think this place is as horrible as most are saying on here. I agree with the comments about service. The first time I went in, the guy that helped me acting as if he wanted nothing to do with me and like he just wanted to leave. Although he did give me a slight discount on a very expensive seat. But when I found a better cheap for much cheaper, I went back to return the seat I bought and got lectured for 10 minutes on how not getting the seat I had was going to give me prostate cancer. Glad I got my money back. Just go to the cyclery in Round Lake.
Always great service at this location, very knowledgable staff.
Very helpful.Had what I needed.Very friendly.
The stuff lacks basic knowledge about bikes they are selling, incompetent !! They didnt fit me with the bike the right way. I spoke with 2 different young man, and both didnt know answer to my question. I dont understand why they are not trained to do their job ! Very disappointing !
Its time to update my review. I have been a loyal George Garner Cyclery (specifically, Libertyville) customer for 3 years now. In my previous review, I talked about the care that was taken of my wife during a grief-stricken time where she was thoughtfully guided into the purchase of 4 incredible bikes.So much has happened since then and it is too difficult to quantify the number of positive experiences I have had at George Garner. Colton Chapman is the head mechanic at the Libertyville shop. His mechanical aptitude for working on bikes is only surpassed by his knowledge of bikes and excellent customer service. I will regale you with my most recent experience to give you one of many reasons why this should be your shop of choice.Two of our familys bikes were stolen somewhat recently right out of the garage of our home. One was my hybrid (one of the bikes my wife bought me) and the other was my stepsons mountain bike. It was very distressing, especially if you consider how often we ride and how much we love our bikes. I filed an insurance claim and had to reach out to Colton to get information on all of our purchases with regards to what was stolen and so I could file a complete police report. Colton tirelessly worked to get me all documentation associated with what was lost. Believe me when I tell you that you dont want to have the frustration of obstinacy or red tape when you are trying to get information for submission to the police or insurance.When Colton told George Garner, the owner of the shop, about my plight, he handled my case personally and worked with me financially in a VERY generous way to allow me to purchase a new bike so I could continue riding. There was an incredible amount of understanding and compassion.Please note that I am a small business owner so I do not EVER expect something for nothing and I NEVER try to hassle business owners to compensate me for difficulties I have in my life. The selflessness of George and Colton, in this situation, expemplifies why you it is important to patronize your local bike shop.I give George Garner Libertyville Cyclery 5 Stars and would recommend it to anyone who rides a bicycle or wishes to do so.
Kyle was very helpful with looking at a variety of cruiser bikes.
Very helpful staff, great product knowledge!
