“Dropped my bike off with Rick on Wednesday and got it back the next day , brakes fixed with new brake cable , new back tyre and new back skewer , didn't know my back bearing was loose but he sorted that aswell and at a very reasonable price, will definitely be giving Rick a call in the future , top bloke”

“Great spot for a good priced coffee that is really nice! The staff all super friendly too. Also put on a lot of bike-based activities if that’s your cup of tea, and have plenty of cycling gear in store too”

“Hector was amazing. Super friendly, brilliant with kids and had my very unconfident child cycling on her own within half an hour. He was full of future advice on continuing her learning and bike choices for when we are ready to buy a new one.”

“Rushed in late on a Friday for a shower replacement as an Electrician. Suzanne was very patient and helpful with helping me to figure out what I needed. Not the closest hardware store but definitely the best.”

“Lovely experience shopping today with Kata helping make the best decisions for our autistic son. Very helpful and experienced staff member indeed! Thank you Kata”

“Lovely lady helped select my car battery, quick service and she very pleasant. Guy at the till helped to sign me up to Halfords motoring club. Battery was installed by two lovely guys, who were quick and efficient (Trainee and supervisor). Excellent service”

“I popped over to Halfords after I discovered a fault with some work that I recently had done at a different garage, my car was not working well. A very kind and friendly staff member sort to resolve my issue immediately, he kindly introduced me to Scott. Scott didn't hesitate to find the problem and resolve the issue and talked me through what was wrong and what he did !! All I can say is that he is a credit to Halfords I've only ever had service like this in one other car garage and I've been to many in my lifetime. He was perfect”

“I visited this Roche Spares on Saturday to have a set of plates made the owner of the shop could not of been more helpful he has a very professional attitude towards his customers. He made up the plates whilst I waited (perfect job) and then offered at no cost to help transfer the plates via the DVLA so I could put them on straight away. The owner of Roche Spares is a credit to his business.”

“I get my boys Blazers and PE kits from here. The quality is great and washes really well, and prices are very good. Very friendly staff that are really helpful and give great customer service. I would'nt go anywhere else.”

“Came over to Base Camp in Stockport this weekend to purchase some Altberg boots. Mike was very helpful in explaining the different models and options available. It's definitely worth having your feet measured by a professional for this sort of thing and I'm really happy with my purchase. Base Camp also have a great selection of Paramo products in-store, looking forward to coming back and picking out a jacket later in the year.”

“Booked a slot this morning at Peloton in John Lewis Cheadle with Hannah to learn about the Peloton bike in more detail. Hannah was fantastic at explaining the bike and app and spending over an hour answering my questions. I never felt any pressure to purchase and left the store to think about it. I ended up walking back in half and hour later to order my bike. Exceptional customer service and support!”

“I’ve taken two of my vehicles to Kevin’s garage these past 5 years. One of which was with the a local dealership under warranty and due to serious confidence issues following them missing the basics I switched to Kevin’s garage and regained my confidence immediately. Since then, I’ve been throughly impressed with Kevin’s attention to detail and communication. I have total confidence with Kevin in an industry which has many cowboys and sceptics. He provides clear and easy to understand information when you need it on any issues or repair work we’ve needed him for. I would recommend him to friends and family without hesitation.”

“Went in today on a walk in after I saw a Facebook post. I heard amazing things about this place but even they didn't do it justice. Jay gave me the freshest trim I've had in my life and was super friendly throughout. They are also advocated for men's mental health which I think is awesome. 10/10 will be going back!”

“I’ve been using this fantastic company for years and the staff there are amazingly knowledgable…. Forget your Halfords ext I would not go anywhere else from advice, parts, service and expertise. I can’t rave enough about them.”

“Beautiful. Located in the quaint town of Uppermill, this chic cafe bar is a faithful spinoff of one of Uppermill’s best cafes, Caffe Grande Abaco. This cafe bar has a nice rustic and authentic atmosphere, like a traditional cafe bar you may find in Italy. Also, the staff are really friendly (10/10), especially Nigel (the owner), who was great to me. Plus, I went to Caffe Grande Abaco for 10 years, and it was quite emotional to meet Nigel, as I was always asking the staff at Caffe Grande Abaco, “Is the owner in?”. Now, back to Veloce! The cafe offers a variety of drinks, handpicked from CGA (at this point, I’m going to shorten it - Caffe Grande Abaco). So, you can have a nice latte or a cosy hot chocolate while you chill and warm up here. Surprisingly, it is also a deli, since they have charcuterie meats and cheeses, condiments, authentic Mediterranean pastries and biscuits, and even freshly baked bread (so authentic!). I tried Rogers Pistachio Cruffin (mix between a croissant and a muffin) which was crispy and flaky on the outside, but fluffy and indulgent on the inside, and the silky pistachio cream made it even better. Perfect for breakfast! They also do sandwiches here, with fresh sourdough and scrumptious meats and cheeses and even flaky sausage rolls. What I really want to mention, however, is the fact that they are supporting local businesses. Most things here (the pastries, products and even honey) are made by small businesses in towns near Uppermill, which is really nice as Veloce is helping out those businesses. Overall, this place is a must if you are looking for a proper Italian cafe bar, and some delicious food. It is also perfect if you want to buy some charcuterie meats and cheeses, as they have a wide variety of them. Only complaint is, Veloce really needs to bring in some Arancini, as I don’t see much Arancini in Saddleworth, and I’m very sad about that. If you want more reviews like this, make sure to follow The Wandering Chicken, so you don’t miss out on the best places to eat in Manchester, and even the world!”

“Brilliant, I use them all the time and so do all of my family and friend's. We all get our repairs and MOTs there. Friendly staff and their workmanship is ace.”

“Always go to decathlon for outdoor stuff. No need to spend £££ for the best brands, Decathlon has decent brands and quality with good customer service too. The prices are more than affordable in the hiking/camping and hunting areas.”

“Mark, Claire and the team are so very welcoming. Such a great bunch of people on both sides of the bar. The venue is cool and quirky. Interesting features such as the wagon wheel. Also loved looking at the art. There's live music, and sometimes food!! One of my favourite places to spend time in tameside!”

“Melbourne Garage here we use advanced battery supplies all the time great service ,great prices, great warranty they cant do enough for you its that simple I have even sent my customers to them direct and they all say the same great service not had one bad feedback . Keep up the good work .”

“Halfords XS car cover for the MX5 Mk3.5 Kendo. Took seconds to fit! Very snug and just what I wanted. Easy to get off...fun to fold away and get back in the carry bag. So much better than the cheaper and more expensive alternatives. Fleece lining will avoid any paint damage. Ideal for autumn and winter to protect the hood.”

“Staff i spoke to were so helpful. Clement was very knowledgeable about running shoes and showed me options that matched my needs and didn't try to just direct me to expensive things. He was kind, polite and helpful- he deserves a bonus! FYI the store doesn't do full gait analysis, just a foot scan to indicate suitable shoes.”

“Went in to buy and get some advice on some football boots for my daughter as I didn’t know where to start! Got helped by someone called Kayley and I cannot praise her enough! She was helpful, kind and very patient with me! I will definitely be back in store again :)”

“What a great garage. Whole family use this place and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Will not be beaten on price and quality of the repairs. Brilliant gentleman named Neville always makes sure I am back on the road asap when my car has any issues. Would highly recommend him and definitely think he needs a promotion! Thanks guys!”

“Great all round service on my bike. Took less than a week to order parts and service my bike. Friendly staff and trustworthy. Miles better than Halfords.”

“Super easy ordering process and arrived 5 days sooner than expected. Great price also! As for the cable...... The quality looks far better than others I've seen and being British made is a bonus. Decent warranty as well!”

“Surprised there's any negative reviews on here, Huw and the team are brilliant, honest from the start and responsive throughout. I've gone through a few cowboys in this sector but Teejac are a cut above.”
