The staff at my local Evans are very knowledgeable, friendly and eager to help. My four star review is because the business end of things could do with improvement: there aren't enough people to help customers and manage the tills at the same time, so (a bit like builders) they juggle. In buying my Brompton, I gave up waiting for the salesman to have the time to ask an engineer about the wobble that disturbed me, and I had to come back the next day. Spending over £1,000 on a bike may not be a lot for them, but it is for me!
That said, I will always buy my bikes from Evans, because I have absolute confidence in their expertise, integrity and enthusiasm. I trust their advice; they deal with me as a person and not as a "sale". This may not be unique to Evans - I've had similar service from independent shops - but it's more rare in a chain.
