  I'll start by saying I'm quite gullible when met with pleasant helpful people so when I dropped in to Bike Station & was met by the lovely Noel I thought 'great place'. I bought a new chain elsewhere earlier in the day but needed a connecting pin & thought I'd grab one from Noel as I happened to be in the area. I then thought I might as well get them to put it on & Noel happily offered as they weren't busy - note it is always wise to check the cost at this point which I didn't do. Noel offered a $9 quick link which I accepted. About 5 mins later the mechanic had fitted the chain & ran through the gears. Finally I paid at which time the mechanic advised he tuned the gears and charged me... $59. Their price list shows a full bike service as $99, and hub/headset rebuilds as $45, so paying $49 for an unexpected 5min tune would probably be considered by most as quite excessive & unfair. That's one hefty chain fitting. Buyer beware �

  A bike shop that has decent bikes, excellent mechanics and an inclusive and welcoming manner with customers. Highly recommended.

  I received nothing but excellent service from Noel and his team. His service goes beyond the sale of a bike and looks after his clients. I highly recommend The Bike Station and the supporting of small local business. I can also highly recommend the Spin and Technique classes they offer as well!
