Servicing & Repairs
Our Ethos
We are proud of our workmanship; we take it personally.
We want people having bikes that have been built with care, bikes that are right for them, bikes that work to the best of their ability.
Any bike we build or work on for our customers deserves the time and attention to detail that we would want our own bikes to have, so we give it just that.
Our standards are high, we don’t believe in just getting the job done as quickly as possible so that we can maximise profit but in getting it done as well as it can be done so that you, our customers get the best workmanship, every time.
Glos Bikes offer a comprehensive servicing and repairs service- everything from puncture repair to a full strip and down and rebuild. Our professional workshop staff are experienced with every style and type of bike.
You can be confident that your bike will get the very best service possible.
We take an immense amount of pride in our workmanship and will do the best job every time.
We don’t aim to be the cheapest, we strive to be the best.
Every repair or servicing job, no matter how small or big will get meticulous attention to detail.
We ride bikes and the standards of care that we apply to our own bikes will also be applied to your bike.
Before carrying out any work on your bike, our mechanics will assess your bike and price up the job, so no unexpected bills when you come to collect your bike.
Our workshop manager and mechanics are Cytech level 3 trained and has been teaching bike mechanics for over 10 years.
Among other things, we are certified to sell and Bosch and Shimano-equipped e-bikes.
We have an excellent reputation and regularly service bikes for a host of large companies and organisations, deliver Dr. Bike services and help companies set up and manage staff pool bike schemes.
