Their customer service team were not very helpful, offering a 10% voucher however I hardly shop with them and they seemed to think it was a minor issue. Paying £100 for a backpack and to receive it in this condition is not minor in my view unfortunately
Use another retailer - I would avoid them
When I collected the bike the issue hadn't been resolved and they had fitted brand new brake pads without phoning me for permission first and then tried to charge me an extra £40 for the new brake pads and extra labour involved.
After discussing this with as different member of staff at reception, and an argument with the mechanic who came over to reception during the discussion, they agreed to discount the extra £40 which was good of them to do. The member of staff at the front desk took my bike back to the workshop and fixed the issue in 5minutes which was great.
However the attitude of the mechanic who worked on my bike before that wasn't very friendly and made me feel like I had done something wrong. He should contacted me prior to installing the new brake pads for permission - it's common practice for shops to call before proceeding with any extra works that would result in an uplift in price to the client.
I won't be returning to Tredz for any mechanical works and I would recommend you go elsewhere for this.
My bike I purchased had a faulty part, causing issues when riding they arranged for the bike to be collected- which the delivery driver refused to collect as he didn’t have enough space in his van…despite collection being 1-5pm and him arriving at 9:45 am. Bike was eventually collected, “fixed” returned without being risen tested and same issue was still there, bike collected, assessed “fixed” then returned WITHOUT pedals! This is over the course of months, with me having to take the bike to a local shop twice for issues arising from the bike. I rely on my bike for commuting 16 miles to and from work, it needs to be reliable and it needs pedals….
Thank you 👍
