Absolutely. There's another shop in Bolton who actually states they only take in bikes for repair that they have sold! Now that's all well and good when business is brisk, but nothing lasts forever.I get the feeling sometimes that if you haven't bought the entire bike from some local bike shops they don't give a monkeys. Their loss.....
There are ways of saying things, and if these shops said, "Look we're extremely busy at the moment, and the lead time is X, so while we'd love to do your job it will take a while for us to get to it" then that would be fine IME, they've been honest, you're in the know, then you can make an informed decision whether you wait or try somewhere else.
But to just turn around and say I'm not even bothered about your job because I'm too busy, well meh!
