The labor estimates below are based on what we have found that well-used bicycles typically need. We will diagnose the bike when you drop it off, so you will know exactly what it needs and what you will be paying.
These comprehensive services are guaranteed for 90 days. If there are any problems that we have missed, we will complete those missed repairs free of charge. (We expect our tune-ups to last much longer, but some people ride their bikes often and hard enough to wear out such items as chains, tires and brake pads in 90 days).
