Workshop / Routine service concept
Everyday Service.
A clear starting brief for a bike in regular use. An assessment first, then agreed work — with the exceptions written down.
£75 Illustrative labour figure
This original service concept introduces a routine workshop conversation. It is not a promise that every bike is suitable for the scope or that a fixed amount of work will resolve a concern.
Ask about Everyday Service →No appointment or service acceptance is created. Parts, final scope, price and timing require separate agreement.
The scope, in plain language.
| Purpose | Discuss a regularly used bike and agree routine workshop work. |
|---|---|
| Starting point | Initial assessment by a real workshop; no diagnosis by this website. |
| Within the concept | Agreed routine adjustments within the workshop’s confirmed capability. |
| Written outcome | A summary of the agreed work and any further recommendations. |
| Parts | Replacement parts and consumables are quoted separately. |
| Excluded work | Wheel builds, suspension, hydraulic work, specialist systems and larger projects. |
| Additional work | Requires explicit approval of the revised scope and estimate. |
| Timing | Confirmed directly after the workshop reviews the bike. |
02 / Agree
Make the brief clear.
Confirm what the estimate includes, what is excluded, how additional work is authorised and who will contact you.
03 / Collect
Review the outcome.
Ask for an explanation of the completed work, any remaining concerns and the actual workshop’s aftercare terms.
