I took my bike into the shop where I purchased it back in July due to an issue with the dropper post. They had the post for over a month and never fixed it, giving me the run around. The owner here asked what was going on and within 3 minutes had it fixed! The owner knows what he is doing and Michael, the sales guy, has great information regarding trails in the state and the product he sells.
I came here months ago with cash in hand to purchase a bike. When i found the bike i wanted to purchase I was told the following:1) it would be a week before I could even test ride a bike2) I could not purchase a bike until the next day after a mechanic looked it over.So heres the thing, I had money burning in my pocket, ready to spend, and i am told i cannot buy bike or test ride it, and that I would need to make a return trip if i was to purchase a bike THAT I COULDNT TEST RIDE. I live on the other side of the water and was pretty annoyed with this supposedly great customer service from here. Cuz from my perspective, that was NON-EXISTENT.So guess what? I went to a different bike shop and was able to purchase a bike ( AND TEST RIDE IT, DAMNIT) not a week from that moment, not the next day, but that VERY day.You fellas lost a customer for really really really bad customer service. If a person is coming to you to buy a bike, DONT keep putting up obstacles preventing person from purchasing a bike. Unfortunately for you, it only takes ONE BAD EXPERIENCE to completely turn a customer off to your services or products. I would say try better next time, but there WILL BE no next time with me.
Local bicycle shop that really looks out for the community and its cyclist enthusiasts. Knowledgeable & experienced mechanics / sales personnel who always keep things rolling smoothly. An assortment of merchandise, dependable and friendly service make this my one stop shop!
My son saved his lawn mowing money to buy a real mountain bike. Bought on Tuesday at Coqui, picked up on Wednesday. Was supposed to go riding with a friend on Thursday, but bike fell off the bike rack while they were driving and did some repairable damage. Called Coqui. The owner said to bring it in right away. He put us to the front of the line, looked it over and fixed everything in a few minutes and sent us on our way with no charge. Unbelievably good customer service
Always super helpful and willing to go out of their way to make sure youre always taken care of. By far my favorite bike shop in Richmond!
They are very helpful. They take their time to answer your questions and they have decent prices. I didnt feel rushed or pressured into buying anything
Went in with a friend for a repair. And ended up Mike sold me a dope bike. He found the perfect fit for me and im 65. Cant wait to ride
Amazing service & team! I am training for my first triathlon & TBH have little clue what Im doing -- so I am very thankful that every time I go to Coqui, I can have my 100 questions answered and recommendations to help me along my journey.I love that they foster an ongoing relationship with you once you purchase a bike - free tune ups, workshops, etc. They refer to you as a client vs. customer which just feels so supportive! I think if I had bought my bike anywhere else, I would feel so lost right now, but with them I know I am set!
Very helpful! Had a car full of kids and he came out to help me at the car. Needed a tube for the bike.
Best bicycle shop in Richmond for sure!! The owner/mechanic is competent and knowledgeable!! State of the art shop!!
My son needed a new bike. Went in this morning to check it out, and went back this afternoon to purchase! Brett was awesome to work with. He set my son up with an awesome ride! I highly recommend this place! Thank you!
Very helpful staff and owner!
Great local bike shop! The staff was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. They took their time with my wife and let her test several bikes so she could make a better decision before we bought her a bike.
Always amazing service! So patient and willing to answer questions. They definitely put their customers interest first.
Professional and on time. What more can you ask for?
Clint & Bret go above and beyond to provide timely, cost effective, and efficient service. The shop is always clean, organized, and fully stocked.They are a value add to our local community!
Best customer service around. Pretty pricy bikes but totally worth it
Ive tried several Richmond area bike shops and remain totally impressed with Coqui! They simply out perform every other shop by every benchmark.
I walked in off the street with a wheel that looked like a potato chip. Even though they had a steady stream of customers, my wheel was fixed in a couple hours and at a reasonable price. I will be back when repairs or other items are needed for my bike!
Absolutely best place to get your bike serviced or come look for new ride. Friendly service and experienced mechanics, honest with no gimmicks Will always bring my rides here.
Coqui has my business for the future. The owner went over and above to make sure I was a happy customer. I look forward to bringing my bikes back in.
GREAT SERVICE!!!! HONEST PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH!!! THEY FIXED MY CONCERN WHITCH WERE MY REAR BRAKES LOOKED OVER THE BIKE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN EXPECT TO DO THE NEXT TIME I HAVE IT IN FOR SERVICE. THEY DIDNT TRY TO OVER SELL ME ON ANYTHING. THESE GUYS ARE A CLASS ACT!!! I KNOW WHERE I WILL BE BUYING MY NEXT BIKE!!! THANKS AGAIN!! NOW BACK TO THE TRAILS.....
Brett has been kind,patient, and informative since day one. I went to a few other local places and Coqui stood out above others. Glad to have a local bike shop that has my recreational pursuits at heart! Thanks guys!
Look at the percentage of 5 star reviews. this place is obviously doing something wonderful in terms of customer satisfaction. These individuals put their utmost effort and care into placing the correct product in the hands of every customer that shows up. I was not pressured to purchase as some small shops with a tight margin do, and i felt considered and individual attention the entire time. come and see why this fixture of forest hill has been around so long
Best costumer service you can find in Virginia
Great bike shop 👍 Service and sales
AWESOME service. Helps local community and schools.
These guys really go beyond customer service!!
New to the bike world. Clint and the staff is exceptional and the customer service is top notch.
Top of the line mechanic. Great selection. Knowledgeable and courteous employees. My go to shop. Nuff said!
Coqui lives up to its reviews! Straightforward pricing and turnaround service - new cassette, chain, tune, and absolutely artfully wrapped handlebars (long overdue!). My little cross bike is a joy to ride again - thanks, Bret!
Great store. Other was very informative and friendly.
Brent saved the day for me when I got a flat while out riding without my spares (go figure). Coqui was set to close at 6pm but stayed open late for me after I called and informed of my plight. Super nice guys...kudos!
Excellent.
Hands down best bike shop in town. Great selection of bikes and accessories. You need a starter bike? They have it. You want to build a high end bike from frame up? Got you covered. Where else can you go and sit down and talk to the owner and the mechanic at the same time?
Fantastic experience from beginning to end. Courteous and friendly staff with excellent knowledge. Dished and trued my wheels to perfection. Great prices and quick turnaround time! definitely my favorite LBS.
Staff is very knowledgeable about the product theyre selling and are great at answering any questions. Good selection of both road, mountain, and cross bikes, and trails right out the front door for test rides (something most shops wont permit). Repairs are turned around quickly and are done right the first time. Cant go wrong bringing your business here.
This place is awesome! While Im a little biased because they are right across the street from me and it was a huge visual improvement over the abandoned building they took over they really are great. Im a tinkerer/DIY bicycle guy I always need small inexpensive things. They are always helpful and friendly even though I only spend a few bucks here and there. Coqui is an awesome bike shop and neighbor!!!
They know their work, they dont charge much - they give value. Great bike shop. I deliver on my bike, and love Coqui.
Clints always gone above and beyond to make my experience top notch!! I have yet to experience a shop with the quick turnaround time Clint provides, whether it be a new rig or upgrading/replacing parts on a current bike, he gets it done professionally and is sensitive to keeping my wheels rolling regardless of whats going on... somehow he makes it happen! He is fully dedicated to the cycling community and his customers and it shows day in and day out! Highly recommend.
This is the best bike shop in Richmond. Do not go anywhere else.
I have bought several bikes from Clint and am always pleased with the excellent level of service he provides. He goes out of his way to make sure that everything is perfect. He even supports the local racing community by setting up at cross races. He fixed my flat in 20 degree temperatures after a race to get me rolling again! You should definitely stop by for any cycling needs that you may have!
Great shop! Steven helped out this week to decide what the bike needs to be repaired, maintained and parts to be replaced to get it to ride. An evaluation was done quickly at the shop during 2 days. The bill $0. The different repairs, cleaning, and possibilities that were offered were great! The shop really helped to finally figure out the bike problems and what is needed to repair it correctly. The bike needs a new rear cassette and rear brakes. The part that was helpful was Stevens communication. Since Ill be fixing the bike it helped to talk with the experts.
Okay so this guy loves his business and customers!!!!So unfortunately I had to go in yesterday and had to deal with my chain being changed as I reviewed yesterday!So obviously it started off being an off day for me and so as I was doing so I had assessed the situation as it was being in the process and wrong or right in my doing so I wrote up my opinion!Clint calls me this morning to understand how I felt and reassured me that all the appropriate actions were taken in yesterdays transactions and that he does care for his business and concerns of his customers & wanted to extend a voucher for any misunderstanding and grief I may have had yesterday!I appreciated that & accept his plea for any misunderstanding towards me in yesterdays transactions!I do appreciate that Clint and only could wish others cared for thier own businesses and customers as much as you do and look forward to any follow-up future business transactions we may have in the future!I Definitely recommend this being your one and only stop shop for any bike concerns here in Richmond!Clint obviously does care about any person(s) that comes in contact with his business & truly does have a passion for his work.So Thanks again Clint!That truly does wipe out any future concerns or past concerns in a business point of view & thats very hard to find nowadays in an owner!So thanks again and I will continue to rely on your services for any of my riding needs!Extremely Content Coqui customer!10 stars!Thank you.Alex D.
Clint is the owner and mechanic. He is the best bike mechanic Ive ever known. If you ask him about upgrading a part he will let you know whether it is worth it. If he doesnt have something in stock he can get by the next day. He also has a great bike selection, road and mountain. You can test ride a new mountain bike on the trails across the street in Forest Hill Park.
Clint is a bike mechanic with no peers. He is the most knowledgeable person on any brand, model, new or old. His tune ups last longer, his wheels stay truer longer, and he can fit a road bike like a master tailor. I hope to buy another bike from him.
Ive been shopping here since they opened and Clint does amazing work and stands behind it! Great selection of bikes and accessories and if you want to demo a bike, you have access to trails, gravel and scenic roads along the river.
Brett is awesome! The whole team was friendly & professional!
Coqui is like a second home to me. I love how I can trust my bike and not be worried that it will fall apart. Also, the owner/mechanic is there all day, every day. I buy all of my gear their and i can trust my bike being their. I also love the huge selection of seats, grips, cleaner, etc. Thanks Coqui for all the great service and great prices.
Clint and the staff at Coqui Cyclery are amazing! They consistently go above and beyond in terms of mechanical and customer service. Whether it’s a big repair or small, it is always handled with precision. I give these boys my highest level of recommendation to anyone looking for a great local bike shop!
Recently had an electric bike wheel trued at this shop which is not an easy job. I will never go anywhere else. I tried a few other shops in Richmond for similar jobs and Im so glad I found this place. I will use them for all my bikes now.They had great craftsmanship. I also I checked it on my truing stand at home and am very impressed. They have good prices, and everything was done on time. On top of that the people where great to work with, friendly, honest and helpful. I wish more businesses were like this.
Im very impressed with this shop and the people who work here. Im a casual rider thats decided to start supplementing my public transportation commute with a bicycle. The staff listened to my needs and concerns and helped match me with the correct bike. At no point did I feel as if they were trying to sell me more then I needed. Im quite pleased with my purchase and look forward to returning here for service, accesories and advice. Thank you Coqui!
I got a bike tune up, repair, and had some tire liners installed here. I really liked the place, looks to be a family business with father and son. Really nice environment inside, when I asked questions about some equipment, I didnt feel pressured into a sell with getting the best of w/e. They had a lot of Giant brand bicycles at varying prices and some pretty good deals.This good experience got me more interested in some upgrades like clipless peddles and shoes.I will definitely be shopping from this place again really soon.
Came in from out of town and damaged my back wheel of my mountain bike. NO other shop in town had a wheel for me but Coqui. They fixed me up fast and got me back on my bike when no one else could. These guys were rad.
Coqui Cyclery generously offered support at the Xterra East Championship race that I attended last weekend. Daddy Frog changed a shift cable and bled my brakes in about 10 minutes on site at the race. Hes one of the best bike techs Ive ever seen. Thanks Daddy Frog!
Awesome bike shop. What they lack in size, is more than made up in knowledge and just general helpfulness.
Brett was amazing. Answered my questions and much more. If you want to buy your bike or accessories from actual enthusiasts, look no further.
Nice folks, great neighborhood shop, buy local
Best shop in town. Owner of the shop is also the mechanic. Tons of road, mountain, and family bikes in stock! Clint makes all his customers feel like family and he gives back a ton to the local cycling community!
What a place! Local, friendly and simply...Richmond. No bike shop does for this city like Coqui and shop owner Clint. Whether its organizing community rides or volunteering at local races, Coqui is all over Richmond. In the shop, no pressure. They are straightforward about your needs and dont try to upsale you. Efficient and knowledgeable, your bike is in good hands here. Plenty of options and fair prices. Walking into this shop is like walking into a small town shop where they care about the person as much as they care about bikes. Plus theres no shop that is more convenient to the JRPS trails. Go here! You wont be disappointed.
Clint is the best! He worked tirelessly on my bike that had a few annoying clicks. I am so appreciative for his outstanding work! I look forward to working with his team whenever my bicycle needs any work!
Couldnt ask for a better experience - great shop!
Beat bike shop n town in my ever so humble opinion.
My previous RVA bike tech of 10 years got out of the industry, leaving me to find a new repair shop/tech going forward.I selected Coqui Cyclery based on their existing rave Google reviews and I was only pleasantly surprised to find that they lived up to them.I took in an older bike for repair and mentioned 3 issues I wanted to have fixed. When I went back in to pick it up they had fixed the gear shift issue is a novel/custom way, achieved the other 2 objectives, and went on to replace some other missing parts/bolts that I hadnt even mentioned.The bill was no more than they had originally estimated, and LESS than I would have guessed. Needless to say, I have a new bike shop! :-)
I needed new tubes and was initially told it could take a few hours which was odd. I received a call about 15 minutes after leaving that it was ready. Miscommunication Im guessing. They dropped the price a couple dollars for the inconvenience though so whatever. They seem like good guys and would recommend this shop to friends.
Clint always puts the customer first. Superior service and understands us nutty cyclists!
Great service, excellent products and knowledgable staff. Ive never been treated this well at any other bike shop around the country! Thanks for opening up in Richmond.
I wouldnt go anywhere else for service. Clint always exceeds expectations with maintenance and they always have plenty of parts on hand. They have never held a bike for more than a day with me.
Friendly people, great environment. Ever since Rowletts closed Ive been wishing that someone else would come in and fill the void of best darn shop in town, and Coqui is working towards that title.
In my opinion, the best bike mechanic(s) in the area. Friendly staff and they will bail you out in a pinch if you have a mechanical on the trail. I drive in from the south side past several other bike shops to come to Coqui.
Amazing customer service!
VERY nice people! Broke my bike chain, took it in and fixed it right away plus a couple other things. Plus, the owner is Puertorican which is where Im from, hence the name Coquí, after the frog.
Super, neighborhood focused shop, with t-r-e-m-e-n-d-o-u-s customer service!
Great bike shop and very friendly services
Over the years, Ive always received consistent service from Clint and his staff. Clint will always work with you to find what you need and have you set up spot on, whatever your riding style!
Nice shop. Friendly, helpful staff, good prices.
Great bicycle shop, friendly and knowledgeable staff!
Couqui Cyclery is the best bike shop on richmond they have everything that you could possibly need for biking or anything else so when you need some work done on your bike go to Couqui
Extremely flexible, helpful, and they know their stuff
Come for the bikes, stay for the gossip. These guys are insync with the community.
Great local bike shop
