Well as soon as I went to the workshop the g...

Great shop. Have had a bad run of luck with little things going wrong but the guys in Penny Farthing have always looked after me. Always been charged less than expected, and even had a tube replaced for free at 5:30pm as Robbie felt so sorry for me! Great shop, Great Staff.

Amateur shop. Repairs are slow and you can end up with missing parts on the bike.
I will avoid this shop from now on. After getting a tyre fix I ended up with no handlebar ends and no light. They lost it in the shop and deny it. They blamed me, even if just before entering the shop I have put the l...

Alot of bike shops in the city centre are a little to focused on sales, no this one. Great customer service from Ben who passed me over to the mechanics who did an unbelievable repair job on an older trek racer that I own. They even tuned the breaks which I thought were fine. I will definitely be ba...

Brilliant, last weekend Graham and Ben replaced some components on my bike and they did a brilliant job, no issues whatsoever .The work was completed the same day, given how last minute it was I was very impressed how confident they were they would have my bike ready so quickly. Bravo.

Just popped in to enquire about getting a service done on my bike.

Rude staff and unfair: they told me the pedal of my bike was broken and should have been replaced, then I couldn't buy any utility from that shop (since I just wanted one nut to put again in place the pedal). So I have been in another repair shop and with just 0,50 for the nut my bike works again!

Absolute bunch of cowboys! Put a deposit of 100e on a bike and for unforeseen personal reasons I could not complete the transaction. In their eyes a 100e deposit equates to 70e store credit. No grasp on customer care and encouraging repeat business at all, avoid at all costs.

Great service. Ben and the team saved my buckled wheel. When speaking to other shops in the area, they only wanted to replace the wheel (Sometimes with very expensive replacements). PFC saved on the waste and cost. The only place I will go to for bike repairs in the future. Thanks lads.
