What is mobile bicycle repair?

We truly take the hassle out of bicycle service for all riders.

Is my bike worth this service?
Without being bias, YES. Safety is priceless. Doctor bills are expensive. And good running bikes are more enjoyable.
A tuned and operational bike increases the bike value although there are some bikes that are too far gone.
We would be glad to help determine the direction you should go.
Should I just get a new cheap bike?
The current price for a new big box store or decent used bikes starts at around $200. In most cases it will still need a tune up or repair. So the cheapest good bike cost is around $300. That alone may help your decision making.
If you do get a new bike we recommend purchasing from a dedicated bike shop and not big box store. You will get better customer support and better re-sale value incase you change hobbies.
Do you have parts?
We do have some parts in stock, but not everything. Even bike shops find themselves having to order parts at times. We try to determine what you may need prior to the appointment and pre stock to be better prepared for when we show up. Some bike shops have greater resources when it comes to factory specific parts, warranties and more high end racing components.
Can you perform repairs on all types of bikes?
We can repair most bikes! We work on various types of bicycles, tricycles, road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrids, cruisers, kids' bikes, most E-Bikes and much more. We offer free quotes if it qualifies for our service.
We may suggest using a local bike shop for specific needs, high performance maintenance, overhauls or factory support.

How do I know if I need a new tire or new bike tube?
First, put air in the tire until it is firm or at it's recommended tire pressure, noted on the side of the tire.
Monitor the time it takes to go flat again.
If it goes flat within a couple days, then you most likely need to service it.
Signs May You Need a New Tire:
Tread Wear:
Check the tread on your tires.
If it's worn down to the casing threads or has little to no tread left, it’s time for a new tire.
Sidewall Damage:
Look for cracks, cuts, or bulges on the sidewalls of your tire.
This kind of damage can lead to blowouts or sudden wheel lockup.
This is a serious safety hazard and should not be ridden on.
Age:
Tires have a lifespan, typically around 3-5 years, even if they appear to be in decent shape.
If your tires are older than that, consider replacing them for optimum performance and safety.
How do I know if I need my brakes serviced?
First, squeeze your hand brakes.
If the brake lever can touch your fingers on the hand grip you may need adjustment or pad replacement.
Listen for noise. Does it sounds like metal scraping or crazy screeching noise?
Hold the wheel off the ground and spin the tire. Does it stop suddenly or make a rubbing noise?
Do you work on E-Bikes?
Yes we do! We have the ability to diagnose, tune and repair most E-Bikes and are not restricted by by big corporate like many other shops.
