I rang the store, described the issue with my bike, they said 'sounds like a crank bearing problem'. I dropped the bike for repair, they called back saying the bike need a service, tyres and chain. I asked 'did you ride the bike, find the issue'. 2 mins later they called back with 'I couldn't find the issue'. it needs a service, chain and tyre. I… Read more

okayed it for the work. I assumed, wrongly, that a service would include checking/repacking bearings. Charge was $260. Bike was exactly as it was, with a new tyre and chain. Will NEVER go back there

Ivanhoe Cycles Hallam Avoid. Customer Service Hopeless – As a long term customer at Ivanhoe Cycles, when they were based in a cramped shop in Ivanhoe, I could not be more disappointed with Ivanhoe Cycles Hallam. Yesterday, I phoned them about an aluminium seat post gave them the size which they confirmed , was in stock. I arrived at 10.00am the next day to pick up the seatpost coming from an hour away… Read more

to do so. They told me that they did not have it and that they couldn't order it in for me!! No solutions added.Donuts. The conclusion I come to is that this branch of Ivanhoe cycles is poorly run and only cares about selling bikes. The previous year my wife and I wandered around the shop for half an hour looking for a product without anyone asking if we wanted help! The good people who founded this business would be disgusted with these people. The originators built this business on GREAT SERVICE !!!

Customer care top notch – I had a question on a product. Answered so quickly via text. I wanted me product quicker. Tim organized this express post for me quickly. Overall. Brilliant customer care and I am Moreton Bay QLD based and going to shop with these guys as much as I can!

Excellent customer service! – I popped in today post a fall from my bike and a subsequent rattling that was quickly and efficiently problem-solved by the young man in the workshop. Very impressive diagnostic skills that could have ended up being a very pricey fix if not repaired as it was on the spot! Would highly recommend for a peace-of-mind experience. Show details

Couldn't be more pleased – Late last year I reached out to Manish and the team at the Heidelburg store regarding an issue with my Quarq Power Meter. They arranged for the warranty claim to be assessed in a very prompt and professional manner. I've been an Ivanhoe Cycles customer for 6 or so years and followed Manaish from Hallam to Heidelburg head office. His knowledge… Read more

and professionalism is 2nd to none. Really appreciate going above and beyond mate. A special mention to Michael in the workshop who also assisted while I waited - he even suggested a great pie shop up the road while he worked on my bike.

Great service and quality product choice – Im an experienced older cyclist and been a customer for about 15 years. Recently my expensive headlight ceased to operate. I wrote to complain. Kellie advised -to my surpise-the light was under warranty. with proof of purchase a refund or replacement was offered. The warranty replacement claim was finalised within a couple of weeks. I was kept… Read more

informed along the way. Great service. In the past I have bought bikes, clothing, accessories and parts. Ivanhoe Cycles have quality items at reasonable prices, their sales are worth waiting for, and the staff have always been helpful and provided advice.

Warranty bike replacement made easy – Cracked the frame on an old Giant Anthem 29er X0 Mountain Bike. Giant bikes come with a lifetime frame warranty. Ivanhoe contacted Giant who did not have any replacement frames that old, so they replaced it with a new bike! Very good service. I have bought many bikes at Ivanhoe Cycles and the advice is good and prices are always competative. Show details

Best customer service ever! – Steve and the team at Ivanhoe Cycles were absolutely brilliant. They helped us choose and test our two hybrid bikes, and set them up super fast. Steve was very helpful and answered all our questions about the bike setup as well as peripheral gear like helmets and mobile phone carriers. Could not recommend them highly enough and they really deserve 10 stars. Some of the best customer service we've ever experienced.

What an amazing service! – We bought bicycles and car rack from Ivanhoe Cycles Megastore. We were very impressed with the service from all the team and particularly Manish who went beyond everything we expected and helped us with a few issues we had with the bike rack, helped find the best bike carrier for our car and installed it for us. He was very kind, explained all the steps and nothing seemed to much with the assistance. Thank you everyone for all the help. Show details

Great Service, Very attentive Hoppers Crossing – Having had a bad experience with another bike shop nearby in Hoppers Crossing, I went to Ivanhoe. What a difference! Ivanhoe staff were attentive, friendly, and professional. They fixed a fault that the "other" cycle shop didn't seem to be able to. Ivanhoe....totally awesome service from a recent customer the "Busy Bee Man"  Show details

Service and Friendliness – Its May 2020 and we are shut in. My only respite is cycling then my gears started playing up. I rang and asked if it was safe to ride while I waited for a service appointment the following week. Michael said “I would rather we look at it now then have you feeling or being unsafe. Bring it in today” which I did and voila, problem sorted. Not to… Read more

mention they were inundated with servicing and selling bikes. I saw a staff member spend ages with a young girl to help her figure out which was the best bike for her. It was lovely to see. I had a short chat when I paid for the work. All in all a lovely experience.

BRILLIANT SERVICE – I have just purchased a new 2020 Giant Advanced Defy 2 with a non-typical set up to accommodate my personal riding preferences and circumstances. Tim at Ivanhoe Cycles in Heidelberg and their mechanics pursued my requests and surpassed my expectations with their solutions. Very importantly any unusual requirements were positively discussed in… Read more

case I was way off track and I was never pressured to change any (as another Giant supplier had previously strongly tried). I was incredibly impressed and am sure I will continue my love affair with Giant bikes and now with Ivanhoe Cycles

Excellent service but it depends on who you get – I bought my giant road bike from the Heidelberg store 4 years ago and had it serviced there around 8 times since. As with any big store, it always depends on the individual that gets assigned to your job. I had mixed experiences in the past; e.g. I had a squeaky bottom bracket and the kept lubricating it instead of simply replacing it, which… Read more

fixed the issue three services later. I dropped the bike off a few sundays ago for a service later during that week. My right shifter was not functioning properly which was due to a worn out cable. Brian was on duty. Rather than simply receiving my bike , he examined it on the spot and ended up fixing it right away along with a few other minor issues that he discovered and explained while he was repairing my bike. Overall, great customer service and my bike brides like a new one again. I can highly recommend Brian from their service team. Best, Matt

Prompt and professional service – I dealt with staff over the phone to arrange for payment and shipment of bikes to Tasmania. Customer service was excellent, all questions answered thoroughly and staff showed good attention to detail. Bikes arrived as per description, very well packaged and service was A1. Would recommend this store.

Best LBS customer service – Best Giant bicycles retailer in Melbourne! Maneesh the sales person is so patient and helpful with my purchase. I visited the store a few times over the past six months. Just researching and didn't have the intention to finalise the purchase at first few visits. Maneesh is happy to provide useful and sensible advises. His end to end service is so… Read more

meticulous and increase my confidence to purchase from a LBS. Mostly importantly Maneesh secured a best price that I can't reject, even before I can even start haggling. The post sales service is remarkable too. Maneesh ensured I'm equipped with all required knowledge and future services routine. Simon the Mechanic showed me all the bike settings before I left the store. Days later Glen the Store Manager remembered and presented my insignificant post sales accessory order when I arrived at the sales counter. What more to expect from a LBS with such friendly staff who are so willing to help.

Genuine Company - Good Products & Service – I recently went shopping for a spin-bike and Googled for ages trying to find a decent retailer with decent products at decent prices and with service backup. I found Lifespan Fitness and was attracted to them because they have bricks and mortar showrooms in Sydney & Melbourne, as well as an online presence. Email communications with them whilst I… Read more ·  1

was investigating the purchase were promptly and efficiently answered, and I was confident that buying the spin bike through them was the way to go.

Another massive tick for them as far as I was concerned was that Ivanhoe Cycles are stocking and selling their home fitness equipment. These guys are one of the biggest bike shops in Melbourne and don't deal with rubbish or dodgy companies.

After I purchased the bike I had a query about putting it together and I rang Lifespan, they put me through to their tech here in Melbourne and he answered my query straight away - no Asian call centres in sight.

I even ordered an optional seat for the spin bike through them online and then found that it was cheaper through their Ebay store. I emailed them on a weekend and asked if it was possible to cancel the order. A reply comes through on the weekend saying "No problems - we'll cancel that order and refund your Paypal account so you can get it via Ebay." How refreshing to have good customer service from an Australian company and deal with locals.

The spin-bike I bought from them is rock solid and I would buy from this company, or buy their products again without hesitation.
