Just got some parts replaced at Barnes. They 'informally' quoted a ballpark Â£46 and said come back in half hour.
Like a schmuck i hadn't carefully checked what theyre quoting for.... like did the quote include labour and vat etc....
I went to pick the bike up and the cost had jumped to Â£75. I complained but theres not much i could do to save on the hassle.....
The place seems to be run by a bunch of kids. If you have to use them make sure you get a proper quote. Never again for me.Just got some parts replaced at Barnes. They 'informally' quoted a ballpark Â£46 and said come back in half hour.

I'm an East London girl who rarely leaves trendier-than-thou Shoreditch but alas I was persuaded to cross that invisible boundary and head west for my good friend Karen's birthday party at All Star Lanes (I hadn't even heard of it before I received the party invitation). As soon as I stepped into the Bayswater branch, I knew it was going to be a great night. Karen had her party booked in a Old West and cowboy themed space called the Private Room- I called it paradise because the waitresses kept serving us tasty-sized canape treats and a handsome bartender keep the 'jolly juice' flowing. And the best thing about the Private Room is that we could bowl until our hearts content. Karen had an amazing time and so did we - job well done and everyone leaves slightly tipsy, well-feed and happy.

well to start of first things first bowling is a great pastime to many of us, wat i liked is dat the games satrt at abt 6.5 quid onwards wid 20 strikes, wat i dint like is d lack of service from staff, they seem poorly trained and worse lackslidical and to get my pair of bowling shoes seemed to be taking ages, apart from this d place is alive wid loads of families turnin in on d weekend which is wen i went in, der is an ice skatin rink which is lightens up d atmosphere, i was lucky enuf to c a good ice hockey game from rookies practicin, der is an arcade - d usual fair - nothin worth mentionin - prices thumbs up service thumbs downwell to start of first things first bowling is a great pastime to many of us, wat i liked is dat the games satrt at abt 6.5 quid onwards wid 20 strikes, wat i dint like is d lack of service from staff, they seem poorly trained and worse lackslidical and to get my pair of bowling shoes seemed to be taking ages, apart from this d place is alive wid loads of families turnin in on d weekend which is wen i went in, der is an ice skatin rink which is lightens up d atmosphere, i was lucky enuf to c a good ice hockey game from rookies practicin, der is an arcade - d usual fair - nothin worth mentionin - prices thumbs up service thumbs down
