Do not shop here! I purchased a helmet and a phone mount six days ago and was looking to return as my aunt had bought me the same as a gift in preparation for university. I went back today to have the man in the store yell at me saying they do not return helmets despite not saying that on the receipt or any writing in the store. He claimed that i bought the helmet online and called me a liar when i told him it was untrue and then he told me that i was trying to screw over a small Business when i was just simply trying to return what i had bought. The man swore at me and finally gave in to returning

Report
I recently brought my bike for a tune up. It seemed like my bike needed a lot of work. It did, though not as much as I had predicted. On top of the quality and prompt repairs performed, my brakes were adjusted and rusted bolts and screws were replaced because "I don't like seeing rust." The Pit Stop will be the only shop I bring my bike to.
