Customers frequently praise the incredibly helpful and polite staff, alongside the remarkably fast and efficient repair work done on their bikes during visits. Many people also deeply appreciate the clear pricing structure, transparent quotes, and warm, welcoming communication maintained by the team throughout the entire service process.

Great and thorough full strip down…

Great and thorough full strip down service. Figured out the previous bottom bracket installation was faulty and had put the bearing cups on the wrong way round fixing the most annoying issue with my DI2s. Awesome service.

I’m very happy with the service today

I’m very happy with the service I received today! Rafael was absolutely fantastic — friendly, professional and very efficient. He replaced my inner tube and tyre in just 15–20 minutes and also gave the wheel an additional service.

He kindly checked my brakes as well and explained what else may need attention on my bike, which I really appreciated.

The whole process was so easy, from booking to payment. I received the invoice straight to my phone and paid quickly and easily.

Excellent service, very fast and professional. I’m extremely happy and would definitely recommend Rafael and this bike repair service! 🚲⭐️

Very disappointing experience

Very disappointing experience – puncture repair not resolved

I took my electric bike to Fettle for a puncture repair and was charged £35, which I already felt was quite expensive for what appeared to be a straightforward puncture repair. Nevertheless, I was happy to pay, expecting the issue to be properly resolved.

Unfortunately, when I collected the bike the following day, the same tyre was flat again. As I had not even ridden the bike after collecting it—it had simply been parked at home—I contacted Fettle and explained that the original repair clearly hadn’t resolved the problem. They agreed to check it again.

The following day, I was contacted and told that the issue could be fixed, but I would have to pay again. I explained that I had not used the bike at all and that the puncture had reappeared while the bike was simply parked. Despite this, I was asked to pay the full amount again. They kindly offered a £10 discount, so I paid another £25 for the repair.

Sadly, the problem happened again on the very same day. That evening, the tyre was flat once more. At this point, I decided not to contact Fettle again because I was concerned that I would simply be asked to pay another £35 for the same unresolved issue.

What concerns me most is that the bike went to a professional bike repair shop twice for the same problem, and the issue has now occurred three times within just a few days. I have spent £60 in total, yet I am still left with a flat tyre and an unrepaired bike.

One of the team members also mentioned during the first visit that they couldn’t actually find a puncture and instead changed the air-pressure valve/nozzle. If the tyre continues to lose air immediately after two separate repair attempts, I would have expected an experienced bike repair shop to investigate the underlying cause—whether it was the tube, valve, tyre, rim, or something else—and identify the problem properly.

I appreciate that Fettle staff were polite and did offer a £10 discount on the second visit. However, the main issue is that the repair did not solve the problem, despite paying for the service twice.

As a customer, I expect a professional repair to resolve the issue or, at the very least, for the underlying cause to be properly identified before charging for another repair. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience.

Overall, a very disappointing experience. I paid £60 for two repair attempts and still have the same flat tyre.

Hi Mayur, we're truly sorry to hear that the team at your local workshop weren't able to successfully perform your repair both times that you visited. This is very disappointing indeed and we completely understand why this would have caused such frustration, especially having paid for the repair both times. We'd really like for our Customer Care team to take a further look into this, in order for them to do so can you please complete the following form in full detail as soon as you can? - https://www.fettle.cc/contact - A member of the team should then be able to look into this and contact you directly to discuss this experience in some more detail. Again, we're very sorry for any inconvenience caused here. We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Helpful, good workmanship.

Easy to book in, helpful, bike working smoothly when I got it back. I’d been told by another mechanic that my bike needed a new drive train because it was throwing off the chain and jumping gears. Hundreds of pounds. They looked at it, straightened the derailleur, made a couple of adjustments and checked the brakes out. £80.

Absolutely amazing work just now

Absolutely amazing work just now. It was my son's birthday today and I had tried to put his bike together myself and it did not go to plan so I went straight over to my nearest bike repair shop (no appointment) and it happend to be Fettle in Cardiff Cowbridge Road at around 11am and Gafyn (sorry if I got the name wrong) did an absolutely amazing job and saved the day.

I can't wait to take my son out on it. Thanks you so much for saving the day Gaf. Me, my son and my wife are so grateful. Thank you so much for also working in your birthday today!!
