Guaranteed repairs 

Two important things differentiate our service shop from others.
Transparency and Data.

We provide you with descriptive notes on each repair detailing what was performed on your bicycle and why. 

We guarantee that, if you take our service recommendations, your bike will ride better than it ever has, or your money back. That's how much service matters to us, and how confident we are in our mechanical experience and ability. 

Please read on to learn more about how we assess mechanical issues and charge appropriately for their repair.



 Minimum labor charge

We have a $5.00 minimum labor charge.
This means any work we perform on your bike will cost at least $5.00.

Maintenance and repair procedures that often fall into this category are:
-Inflating your tires
-Adjusting your saddle or handlebar position
-Lubricating your chain
-Removing or installing a small accessory

Why?

-Our business exchanges goods and services for money. Most people are familiar with this commercial model.
-Our experience, knowledge, tools, and supplies are useful, reliable, and valuable.
-We are implicitly ensuring our work is of professional quality. We don't do slapdash patch jobs to get rid of you.
-We are implicitly ensuring your bike is safe to use once we've worked on it.


​$5.00 buys you a lot at our shop.


Bikes purchased from us get free basic adjustments for one year.
​
There is a high quality air pump available for your use inside the shop. We will show you how to use it, if need be. 

Common Repairs
​

We offer comprehensive repair services, from basic flat tire repair to complete overhauls. Click for detailed info.

We do not have set rates for "tune-ups" because there is no such thing. Every bike gets used differently from the next, and parts wear out in ways specific to your bike and the way you ride. We will assess these unique issues and create an estimate that makes sense to you.

Though we do require you bring your bike to the shop for an assessment and estimate, the cost of the following basic services usually falls into these price ranges.


Flat tire repair:
$26 for most size tires, new inner tube included, as is inspection of the rim, rim tape, and tire. We always assess the cause of your flat tire as part of the service. 

Brake adjustment: 
$10-$25

Derailleur adjustment:
 $10-$25

Conventional bearing adjustment (hub, bottom bracket, or headset):
$10-$30

Wheel truing:
$15-$30

Cable replacement and adjustment:
$25-$35

Installation of racks or fenders:
$25 and up

Service Rates

We do things a little differently at Green Machine Cycles, thankfully to your advantage. Read about our service rates here.
