Bicycle Servicing
Booking your service means that we can ensure that you always have your bike when you need it.
Pre-book your service, drop your bike in first thing in the morning (or last thing the day before) and collect at the end of the same day. If your bike requires parts that we may not have in stock, then it will be a bit longer. We always inform and update you via phone, text or email.
For minor servicing such as gears or brakes it’s still best to phone ahead and book, although we can cope with some quick adjustments if you just drop by, however, please don’t feel offended if we are busy and we are unable to oblige, so it is best to phone and book.
If you don’t require a quick turn around or your servicing is more involved such a our Platinum or a hydraulic brake overhaul, then turn around will be approximately 3-5 days or arranged to be completed for a day convenient for you to collect. We can sometimes even fit in the odd small job there too, but be aware that we may have to say no if we are really busy. If your bike requires parts that we don’t have in stock, then this can add a few days to completion time, but we’ll always keep you informed.
Regular servicing will ensure that your bicycle stays safe and comfortable. It will mean that you get the maximum life out of your components and it will help you plan for the replacement of parts as they wear out.
