Very bad experience with bike shop in North Ayrshire – Page 2 – Chat Forum

Hi guys, I'm posting this not as revenge, but so people dont go through what I did. I took my intense 6.6 to the North Ayrshire bike shop as they advertise custom paintjobs on there website. I dropped it off there on the 5th December 2010 having agreed the job, timescale and cost. It was a simple job, paint the frame metallic orange (focus st) and do some simple, factory looking graphics in black. The time agreed was 2 weeks. I only just got the bike back on Monday, after being promised it back after many phone calls. When I picked it up, the both parts of the frame were different colours, it is not metallic, and it had no graphics or lacquer. [b]So, in short, the work was crap, they lied to me on more than one occasion, and never finished the job.[/b] So, please do not take this post as a rant etc, I am posting it to warn other people who may be looking at having a fresh coat of paint on their bike. Cheers
