THE WORKSHOP

From a simple puncture repair to a new set of pivot bearings, we can do it all. With a superbly equipped workshop and highly experienced mechanics you will be leaving your beloved bike in the most capable of hands. We operate a booking in system. Call us on 01626 833 555 to make an appointment. Labour prices for common tasks are detailed below.

We care very much about your bike and want you to feel completely confident and satisfied with us; however we never suggest any un-necessary work in order to keep your costs to a minimum.

When you arrive with your bike we will check it over with you, noting anything that you require doing and if you require, we can also give you an estimate at the same time. If an estimate is given and we find extra work that needs doing during the repair we will contact you before we proceed. We will not exceed the estimate without first discussing it with you. You will need to leave us with good contact numbers to ensure that we can get the job done.

We try to do same day turn around for the least amount of inconvenience to you. Your bike needs to be with us by 10.30am on the day it is booked in. You can also drop it off the day before if that is easier.
