What people say

Testimonials

Got out on my bike today - Just wanted to let you know it's running great, no probs with gear changing now and the funny ticking noise has gone too!! Thanks again, great job done.

Emma, Stockport

My bike felt amazing so thank you for fixing it, you are a star.

Bev, Wilmslow

I would like to thank you for the recent work you carried out on my son's bike.

The first job you carried out was a much-needed service, from start to finish the communications were great and costs were discussed before we proceeded. The second job was to repair some damaged gearing and we were really impressed with the expert advice you gave and improved parts you supplied and fitted.

We will definitely recommend you to all friends and family.

Super pleased with the great service and I'm always reassured that Dave does a detailed high quality job.
