A la Carte Labor Rates
The following menu covers the most common repairs we encounter on a daily basis. We are equipped to perform less-common and more unique repairs as well. Over the years we’ve strategically invested in quality, hard-to-find tools. For example:
- Our ultrasonic parts tank helps us achieve a level of clean that’s just not possible with a traditional parts-washing system.
- With our Phil Wood Spoke Cutting and Threading Machine we can cut spokes on the spot to fix any wheel size or lacing pattern.
- We have a variety of cutting tools to ensure that every part we put on your bike is precisely installed and exceeds the manufacturer's requirements for tolerances.
