What you can expect
At Montlake Bike Shop, we want to make your bike servicing experience as convenient and hassle-free as possible. Here's what you can expect when you bring your bicycle to us for service:
No Appointment Necessary:
- Drop your bike off 7 days a week. We operate on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- Simply bring your bike to our shop during our business hours. No need to schedule an appointment in advance.
Quick Check-in Process:
- Our friendly staff will take down your basic contact information and make brief notes about the type of service you require.
- This initial information will help us understand your needs and prepare for the service ahead.
Personalized Service Discussion:
- Within 24-48 hours of drop-off, one of our experienced mechanics will contact you Monday to Friday during normal shop hours.
- The mechanic will discuss your service needs, provide a detailed explanation of the required repairs, estimated costs, and propose a suitable schedule.
- We believe in clear communication to ensure you are fully informed about your bike's service and any associated charges.
Timely Turnaround:
- Our goal is to complete most repairs within 3-5 business days, Monday to Friday.
- Please note that turnaround times may vary depending on the complexity of the repair or the current workload.
- For specific details and estimated completion times, we recommend giving us a call.
Appointments for Faster Service:
- If you want to minimize the time your bike spends at the shop, we offer appointment-based services.
- However, to determine the time needed for your repair, we must inspect the bike first.
- Once we have assessed the repair requirements, you can schedule an appointment for dropping off and picking up your bike.
Prevent Loss or Damage:
- For your bike's safety, we kindly request that you remove any accessories that could be lost or damaged during the service.
- Please detach items such as bottles, bags, locks, lights, and other detachable accessories before dropping off your bike.
We allow 3 days to pickup finished bikes. Bikes left beyond 3 days are subject to an $8 per day storage fee.
We only service e-bikes with Bosch or Specialized motors.
All repair labor quotes are based on the time needed to complete the service. Our shop labor rate is $120 per hour
We look forward to providing excellent service and taking care of your bicycle.
