Standard Service £45
– My standard service is what many high street shops refer to as a “silver level” service. A bicycle in regular use should be serviced at least annually, and possibly more for high mileage and/or adverse riding conditions.
A service typically takes 1-2 hours and includes the following:

  • Basic frame, wheel and parts clean.
  • Full brake adjustment.
  • Full gear adjustment.
  • Spoke check, wheel true, rim, rotor, tyre check.
  • Check and standard adjustment of bearing systems (wheels, bottom bracket, headset).
  • Replacement of cables, inner tubes, tyres and parts where necessary, excluding anything considered a major repair. All spare parts are extra.
  • Chain cleaned and lubricated.
  • Full check of all bolts/fixings.
  • Tyres inflated.

(Spare parts not included in price.)

Labour rate – £12 per 1/4 hour
– I charge £12 per quarter hour labour. I will typically quote a fixed price for jobs estimated to take longer than one hour, and this will be at a lower rate.

Safety Check – £16
– Does your child have a Bikeability course coming up at school? Have you just purchased a second-hand bike? Book a safety check to ensure the bicycle is safe to ride. Minor adjustments will be included and you will be provided with paperwork showing the safety checklist, pass/fail result, and any advice.

Emergency call-outs (see rates below)
– If you are on a ride and have a mechanical that leaves you stuck I will help if at all possible, but availability cannot be guaranteed. Please call/message for availability. If you are within approximately 10-15 miles of Ellon I may be able to assist with an on-site repair.
Fee = workshop rate (£48p/h) + travel rate (£24p/h)+ £5

Inspection/estimates – FREE
– I am happy to inspect any bicycle and provide estimates free of charge.

Puncture Repair – £16 (includes inner tube)
– Punctures are normally dealt with by replacing the inner tube as patching cannot be guaranteed. Occasionally, an additional charge will be applied for unusual/expensive inner tubes e.g. “fat bikes”.

Brake bleed – £16 per brake

Collection and Delivery – £10 within Ellon, or immediate surrounding area.
