I have received a voicemail from the store about my repair
One of our Bike Technicians may have called you to discuss a change to the repair work we need to do to your bike. Sometimes we spot problems while we start working on your bike. If this is the case, we’ll call you to let you know about the extra work and provide an estimate to fix it. Don’t worry, we won’t do any extra work on your bike without your agreement.
How long will my repair take?
If your issue is minor, we can often complete it straight away. We aim to complete all services and repairs within five days. While we carry a huge range of bike parts, sometimes we need to order specialist parts, meaning your repair may take a little longer. We’ll always keep you up to date and informed of the progress of your repair or service.
Will I get confirmation when my repair is ready?
Once your repair or service is complete, we’ll send you an email or text message letting you know. One of our local store Bike Technicians may call you too.
What happens if I need parts/work after I have had my initial quote?
If your bike needs a little extra work to get it running smoothly, we’ll contact you first to get your approval. Don’t worry, we won’t carry out any repairs without your consent.
How long is my repair work guaranteed?
All work we do on your bike is guaranteed for 6 months.
