Price guide questions

Are these fixed prices?

No. They are typical guide prices. Your local mechanic will confirm the quote for your bike before work starts.

Are parts included?

No. The guide is for labour. If parts are needed, your mechanic will explain the cost before fitting them.

Why can the same job cost different amounts?

Condition, bike type, access to parts, travel, collection and return, and the mechanic covering your area can all affect the price.

How do I avoid surprises?

Tell the mechanic what bike you have, where you are based, what has gone wrong and whether you have photos. They can then give a clearer quote before booking.
