Workshop and Service
Bookings
At Bike Matters we pride ourselves on our consistency and technical knowledge and abilities. As a trusted Service Centre our workshop can often be in high demand, therefore It is essential that bookings are made for ALL service requests. We will always try to fit basic repairs such as tyres and tubes around the day’s bookings, in order to keep you rolling until workshop availability opens up. Please refer to our service menu and request the most suitable option when booking in. Our staff may recommend a free assessment of the bikes condition if you are unsure which is right for you.
The Service
We prefer bikes to be dropped in either the night before, or by 11am on the day of the service. We will always endeavor to complete the work on the same day as the booking, but due to timing next day pick-up may be necessary. We will always advise if your bike needs further work or parts ordered and will only be able to give a rough time frame for the return of the bike due to external factors with suppliers and shipping. All communication is via SMS unless otherwise stated. Please advise staff if you would like to keep any parts removed.
Storage
Due to limited storage space, we can only hold the bike 2 days prior and 2 days following the day of the booking (5 days total). Bikes that are left beyond this time will incur a $5 daily holding fee that will be added to the total bill, as it reduces our capacity to service other customers bikes. If collection cannot be prompt, please re-book at a time that better suits you.
