Repairs & Individual Jobs
Repairs are performed on an as-required, per-job basis if your bike doesn't need broader servicing. Most jobs are priced by negotiation or at our workshop rate of $100/hour. We're happy to take on almost anything.
Common repairs include:
- Repair flat tyre / replace tube

Turnaround for servicing is typically a few days if we hold all parts needed. Where parts must be ordered, we'll source them as quickly as possible and keep you in the loop.

You can book online using the 'book a service' button. Alternatively you can give us a call on 0450 519 496, or drop into the workshop during opening hours. You're always welcome to stop by, but we can't always take bikes in immediately, so booking ahead or giving us a quick call is the best way to avoid disappointment.
-
Most services are turned around within a few days, provided we have all the parts on hand. If parts need to be ordered, we'll let you know upfront and keep you updated throughout. We'll always give you a realistic timeframe before we begin.
-
We work on almost every kind of bicycle, including commuters, road, gravel, touring, mountain, e-bikes, vintage and custom builds. We also have the experience and workshop equipment to service many older and specialist bicycles that other workshops no longer support. If we don't believe a repair can be completed safely, economically or to the standard we'd expect, we'll always be upfront and recommend the best path forward.
-
We stock a wide range of quality parts and can source almost anything through our suppliers, so in most cases there's no need to buy parts before visiting us. Choosing the right component is often part of the job, and we're happy to help make sure it's the best fit for your bike and your budget. If you already have a specific part you'd like us to fit, that's usually no problem — just let us know when you book.
