Repair Service

The modern bicycle is a wonder of materials, design and engineering. And, though they have become more and more reliable, bikes require regular service to remain in top running order.

There are several elements which go into making up an exceptional bike service department: skilled, experienced mechanics; a full and well-stocked supply of spare parts; a complete and high-quality selection of shop tools; and honest, responsive customer service.

Avenue Cyclery invests in staff, stock and equipment so that we can fulfill our commitment to having the largest, best-equipped and best trained Service Department in San Francisco. Whether you bring your bike in for a specific repair, a quick tune-up  or a major overhaul, you can be confident that our service team will do the work right and will have your bike back to you quickly so that you can get back to riding it.

Please find below an overview of Avenue Cyclery’s standard Tune-Up Packages. The three packages cover everything from the Level One Service which is a full check to make sure that your bike is in running order, to the Overhaul which essentially tears your bike down to the frame and rebuilds it in perfectly adjusted running order.

Almost every imaginable bike service is also available--just contact the store for a quote.
