Rockin Bikes in Yelverton (Dartmoor) really friendly and knowledgeable. Great kit
The Dogs Wheels in Plymouth, again really friendly and good knowledge cheaper kit/brands but still good stuff

Bad censored Bikes near Bristol is very good for servicing. The owner knows his onions.

Recently had to send off my KS eTen dropper for a fix after the internal cartridge gave up. Off, fixed and back on the bike in three days flat. Thank you Jungle Products. Customer service as it should be done.

If the shop is full of road bikes and lycra then shop elsewhere.
Damn right RM!

I thought they were fairly censored when I went in. The member of staff I spoke to appeared to know nothing about mountain bikes but was happy to just make stuff up and talk rubbish.
Their selection of clothing was rubbish as well.
Bike Treks in Ambleside are loads better.
I got £50 worth of Wheelbase gift vouchers as a leaving present when I changed jobs back in 1998. Before I could spend them they went bust. The administrators told me I'd get nothing. Then a curiously similar looking company started trading again...
No idea if they are the same lot or if it was just an unfortunate coincidence, but they ain't getting any of my money.
Loads of good options though.
I'm going to add Certini/specialised in Saltash (Cornwall) to mine. Been in a few times now and always happy to help and with good advice

They have a shop in Bristol. Absolutely terrible, I went in to buy a Stumpy Evo and their staff weren't interested. A mate had a warranty replacement frame for a Stumpy he bought from them. They tried to charge him for a new crank arm after they stripped a thread and then moaned that it was loads of work to swap a frame. When he got the bike back, it had just been thrown together. Bolts not torqued, brake levers and bars at really stupid angles (properly ridiculous), gears not indexed and brake calipers not aligned. Not great service after you've bought a ~£4k bike.
A bike failing in use happens, it's just one of those unfortunate things. How it's dealt with is what make the difference between great service and terrible.

Given that I only went to see if they had the part I needed it was amazing service.
