Amazing bike shop. Just dropped my bike off today to get it out of hibernation. Took a beating being used all summer and the guys at Fosters returned it to me better then the day I bought it. Straight as an arrow, no rattling and as smooth as can be. Only costed 28$!The service at drop of was excellent, quick easy and affirmative. The shop was a little quite when I went to pick it up though, must’ve walked in after an argument or something but either way I couldn’t be happier with Fosters.

I brought my bike to Fosters after someone tried to steal it, messing it up a bit. I thought the repair was going to be more complicated to fix, but it turned out quite simple. I admit I’m a bit uneducated when it comes to my bike, so it was great when the bike tech that handled my repair explained what happened, how it happened, and exactly what he was doing as he was fixing it, being completely honest and transparent. They could have easily taken advantage, like some other businesses do, and charged me for something I didn’t understand, but didn’t. The tech then tested the bike, aired up the tires and sent me on my way.This was the second time I’ve been to Fosters, first time for a general maintenance, and a tire replacement - both times have been met with quick and friendly service. I’ll be going back and suggesting others to pay them a visit for their bike needs. Thank you!

I am writing this review to express my utmost disappointment with the technical service and the quality of the supposedly new bike that I purchased two months ago from this store.Just two weeks after purchasing the bike, it started displaying various issues. Understanding that minor glitches can occur, I promptly contacted the technical support team and requested a thorough inspection of the bike.The first inspection seemed hasty and superficial, with the technicians failing to identify the underlying problems. Despite their assurance that the bike was in perfect condition, the issues persisted and even worsened over time.Additionally, I want to highlight the fact that due to the inadequate technical service provided, I had to seek assistance from another bike shop to get the proper adjustments and repairs done on the bike.As a customer, I believe that it is not unreasonable to expect a new bike to be in perfect working condition for at least a reasonable period of time.

Second bike from here, last time was during the pandemic. Both times excellent service, no upsell, matched our budget with good bike, was able to take it for a trial outside before buying, adjusted for my fit, decent price. Recommended.

Amazing service! I've been shopping for a new bike for a little bit, and have encountered some not-so-friendly places in the past. Customer service is really important to me so when it's good, it's great. When it's bad, it's terrible. I stopped by Foster's to check out the selection and was greeted before I fully entered. Good start. The sales reps were all friendly, patient, and really helped educate me to ensure I was making the right purchase. After spending a lot of time there, trying different bikes, and even going for a test ride, we found the right choice for me that I am really happy with and excited to ride. I am very happy with my purchase and that I purchased it from such great people that offer such amazing customer service! I will definitely be using Foster's whenever possible moving forward. A+ grade from this happy customer!

Tim and the staff are fantastic. They were super knowledgeable on all their products, and while I tried out a few bikes and got Tim’s valuable advice they were servicing a number of other people efficiently to get them back riding. Can’t say enough good things, great shop and service.

Very good store. I went to get new front brakes, Had no idea what I was doing.Luckily I had my bike. They were able to match the exact part I needed and even offered to help install.But if you feel confident to DIY you can be like me and go to re-cycles.These places are like two cousins that just are there for eachother

I'm met The Fosters team approximately 15 years ago back in the early 2000s. The Story Goes Like This, I pulled my bike out from Storage. Think I'm going to be myself a great task of oiling the chain, a few days later I take my bike for a ride and realized the brakes don't work. I have no idea how to adjust them as they are disc brakes oh, I bring my bike to a bike shop I won't name it, somebody working there take my bike and hands back me a few days later and says you're good to go. I immediately on it and try to pedal and put on the brakes, the bike will not stop. I asked them to adjusted again and I'll come back another day. I come back a few days later and the bike still has the same issue. By then decide I need to go to a different bike shop. I now walk my bike from one bike shop to another. When I get the team of techs that are all bike riders, Tyler greets me and asks what's up, I say brake issues and explain, he says how about I add a new brake pad, literally 5 min later my brakes feel brand new again. then over the years from then they fixed little things for me and my family. yesterday I was biking and broke off the bolt that holds my crank into the bike, oh my I think this bike is now dead, I call Rami at the store, I bring it in, within 15 minutes that had me rolling again. can't say enough about these guys and girls. don't waste your time at shops that don't have long-term techs that actually own and enjoy bikes.updated... Oct 2020bike gets stolen.. sad but...get a new to me used downhill mountain bike from kijiji and bring it to them for a tune up. they took my bike right away and even cleaned my brake pads from inside the holder for the diac brakes as the technician tyler didn't like that they were making noise and not stopping properly talk about attention to detail they repair bikes as if they were owning the bike themselves, brakes and gears are now smooth. bike is already bqck on my car same day! thank you Fosters.

The Foster's team is always friendly, provide great service at fair prices. The techs drop what they are doing to consult and get you set up with the right parts or fix a flat on the spot. I needed an axle and couldn't find a shop that carries them or would order one. They pulled out their parts bin and gave me an axle for no charge! I highly recommend Foster's for service and sales. There is a reason why they have been around for so long.
